Moneyballers - I'm throwing the gauntlet down

[Hmark6]

Calling someone a fraud is from their own beliefs. Til you actually own up and present some "facts", you are still a fraud in a lot of people's minds.

I second that. Good post, l_t_r. That brings up another point, having people agree with your wacky claims also builds respect in your favor.

Gosh darn, you are now turning GREEN. Accusing someone of being a fraud only implies you are afraid of the truth and unwilling or unable to believe in fact. Accusing someone of being a fraud is the simpletons way of defending his misconceived views.

Right, it would have nothing to do with your claims being outrageous without one shred of proof to back you up, or the "system" you use to "evaluate talent" making about as much sense as the theory that the world is flat, huh? I'm just "envious" of "your success", even though at this point, you're coming off the way I originally pegged you: a nut with a crackpipe and too much free time.

Exactly, it's their own beliefs and in their mind. That is the fact.

Dam8610:...The Earth is round. Just because you wish and dream that you think some people think it is flat tells much avout you.

No Joek, belief is not fact. Joek, you can't never out do me so please stop trying.

I like how you completely missed the point there, which would be that if your "talent evaluation method" ever worked (that is assuming you actually are a talent evaluator, a HUGE assumption IMO, consdiering the amount of proof, or rather lack thereof, that you've provided to support your claim), it has LONG since been outdated. As I've said before, any good talent evaluator knows that a team full of above average players will usually beat a team of bad-average players with the exception of 1-2 great players. If you don't understand that, you're not a good talent evaluator. Then again, until I see some proof, you're not a talent evaluator period.

Dam8610, you don't know how foolish you are. The WIN METHOD is out there, just listen to certain sports people talking of winning and ignoring stats. Latest was the new Notre Dame football coach, saying 'stats and and stat sheets mean nothing, (to him) getting the win is all that counts'.

You heard it hear, Charlie Weis ..errrr I mean Mr. W... has hired joek too.

Well "ejk" (hmmm, thst looks very similar to another screen name of a person who advocates this "WIN METHOD" that has not been in any way described, let alone proven to work), broadcasters may have their opinions, but that's why they're in the broadcast booth, and not the front office. By the way, your Weis argument only furthers my point, because you're talking about college football, where a great player can be surrounded by a bad team and have his performance suffer because of it. I guarantee that Calvin Johnson will be a high 1st round draft pick when he declares in either 2006 or 2007, regardless of how Georgia Tech does that year.

Very interesting Dam8510, and your screen name has several of the same letters and even worse the same number as another poster who posts the same ignorant views as you. One and the same??????

[Dam8610]

Really? Does my screen name almost exactly match this other person's screen name? "joek" and "ejk" are nearly identical.

Also, I like how you ignored everything else I said. I guess you don't have a good answer for it.

[joek]

You received a good answer.

[Dam8610]

You received a good answer.

Congratulations! You've officially proven yourself to be an idiot.

There is no dam8510 (check the member list)...you need to get your eyes checked

[joek]

I accept your compliment from where it comes.

Why do you insist on constantly topping your past idiocy? Is "biggest moron on the planet" not a good enough title for you? Going for the whole universe?
