the <a href="http://members.rogers.com/crackpott/" target="_blank">FBBL</a>, yes, the
<a href="http://members.rogers.com/crackpott/" target="_blank">FBBL</a> has openings. Pretty good teams, too... Montreal, Oakland, Arizona, and Washington. I ask a few things of you. We'll call it my alphabet of requirements. a) AIM You have AIM and are online a lot. If you want to be an agent, this is especially key. b) Buckfutter! You're not a dick. I think this is pretty self explanatory, but at one point, I think maybe 1/3 of the league was a pain in the ass. I think it's now down to a fifth or so. Seems like a good maximum to keep it at. c) Complete Obediance If I tell you something, it goes. Period. I put a lot of work into this league, and I don't like having to deal with people yelling at me. If you don't want to be in the league, fine, but you have to know that what I say goes, and I'm providing you people with a free service, so I don't technically owe you anything. d) Dumbassity ...Is not a word. But if it was, it would be fairly self explanitory. You need to know what you're doing. Countless times I've had people come in and be dumbasses. You can be new to the game, but you need to have a sense of baseball, and realize that I'll protect you from the vultures known as Greg, Mike, and Jay until you've proven that you know what you're doing. e) Energetic "A" was already taken, but this basically means be active. thanks to the upload roster to FTP feature, I can easily tell who has sent in lineups when by going to the FTP and sorting by date. The old Montreal owner was the best owner I ever had. He listened to me, was always online, took pride in his team... in turn, he built a true dynasty that faded the moment he left. You guys should take pride in your teams f) Financial Management WATCH YOUR FINANCES. Your team can fold if you don't. There's one owner, let's call him Romeo M... no, that's too obvious... lets say R. Mendez who didn't watch his finances and is now Gregged (see "V") for years to come. Don't let that happen to you. g) God. I am Phil. Thy god. If I am out, the Krusty doll is thy god. If the Krusty doll is with me, the nightlight is thy god. Should the nightlight be unable to fulfill its duties... h) Hot Redheads You like redheads... not so much of a requirement, but it always helps. There seems to be a mischievous uprising from a few rebels in the league who want to see brunettes on the page. I say nuts to them. i) ICQ I hate AIM. I'm on it because most of the owners are, so it's a requirement. ICQ isn't a requirement, but you'll score points with me if you have it because then I can talk to you on it, and it's been mathematically proven that it's exactly 57X better than AIM. j) Joker I'm a sarcastic, joking, *******. If that bothers you, you won't want to contact me too much. Thing is, if you're not an ass to me, I won't be to you... I'll still be sarcastic a lot though. k) Kids Do not trade your young players. They're talented. They will help in your future. l) Laura Prepon Falls under Hot Redheads... but she's so hot she needs a category of her own. Any bashing of Laura is blasphemy and the FBBL gods... eg. Me, the nightlight, etc. will punish you severely. m) Manly ...Well, that's an exaggeration. If people ask me how much I can bench press, I'm lucky to be able to say "the bar." Anyway, this is more of a thing saying if you're offended by scantily clad women, you shouldn't come here. Despite what many believe, I don't objectify all women. But the women on this page take photo shoots in their underwear... if they don't want to be oggled, then they shouldn't have those pictures taken. n) Nerdiness ...is a plus here. If you have no life, you can devote your time to my league. and that's always a good thing. o) OOTP You have OOTP4. If you do, proud day for you and your family. p) Picks They're worth a lot. Do not trade them unless you want a severe ass kicking. q) Quick Replys I assume, unless notified that you're out of town or something before hand, that any e-mail I send will be responded to if necessary within 24 hours. r) Read Read the rules. Print them out. Memorize them. Listen to them in your sleep. I want you to know them so well, when you're having sex you scream "Oh, Jason Giambi! You're such a hot free agent!" A lot of my frustration comes from things that are clearly stated in the rules. s) Sports and Sex ...these are the only two things that may delay a sim being run. Either me being at a jays game, me playing a sport, or me getting laid. Most of the time I'll know beforehand though. t) Toronto ...Is a great city. It's got all the frills of the States without the crime and ignorance. That's another thing you'll have to put up with. My Canadian propoganda. u) Useless Questions Ask a dumb question, get a dumb answer. Be forewarned. v) Vocabulary If I see people telling me "I h8 deez dum agents. FUXOR!" I will not be pleased. Over the internet, your use of language and proper typing is the only way people can form an opinion of you, and correct sentences help. Besides, at 50 WPM or so (which most people on here I assume can type or can come close to) It takes under one second to type "hate" instead of "h8" "the" instead of "da" and "love" instead of "luv." Feel free to use the synonym "Gregged" to represent "Screwed over" eg. "I had to pay Hoffman 5M a year... I think I got Gregged on that one..." w) Why doesn't... Taco Bell have fries in the States? It blows my mind... x) Xtasy It's the name of my video card... I had nothing for X... just put this in cause I bought a video card that contradicts my "V" policy. y) Yankees The New York Yankees and anyone who plays with them can shove a goat in a pastry and eat it.... (I'll explain that line if you join the league. ). If you're a Yankees fan, I urge you to be looking for a psychiatrist more than a baseball league. Besides, although there are a few longtime fans, I have a good feeling most of you would stay until your team sucks and then abandon it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> z) Zyzzyva I like to play scrabble on Yahoo! a lot. To the best of my knowledge, that's the last word in the dictionary (not all will have it... I think it's a tropical weevil or something like that.) Anyway, occasionally we'll have league scrabble tournaments for prize money in the league... so that's just something I thought I'd add cause I needed a Z. Also, if you're an agent, you'll have to talk to me for a while first. We're entering the 2005/2006 offseason. If you want a team, contact me at crackpott@rogers.com or AIM me at BJGM. I won't say why my league is the best, cause, well, frankly, it probably isn't THE best... I won't bull**** ya. But it's very good. And besides, everyone thinks theirs is the best, so all I can really say is check it out, and make your own judgement. If you read through all that, it shows you're probably interested.

Dude... sounds like a cool league. Is it possible that your sense of humor can scare people? I like having fun with leagues and yours would probably fit the bill. The only problem is time... I'll keep it in mind though. Saw it before and it looked interesting... not dry like many of the others out there. Almost like a few shots of Jack Daniels after a case of beer!

speaking of drunk...
I said Arizona was available. By that I meant Minnesota... of course you can see it's just a minor typo though... I mean... they both end in "a" ...they're both states. For the love of god, there's 50 of em... and only 10 or so have any real significance. Anyway, I'd be happy to have you as an owner, but you'd need to contact me. People who get in touch with me always have a better chance of getting in the league. Hot women willing to have sex with me have the best chance, but that's wishful thinking. (Speaking of wishful thinking, in English today we had to write something on the American Dream, so I wrote about how it's been modified over the years so now it's owning a brothel full of busty redheads with 4 monkey butlers named dojo, jojo, mojo, and steve. I'm expecting zero on this assignment. ) But I digress... ya... you have to mail or AIM me.Edit: </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Almost like a few shots of Jack Daniels after a case of beer!</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">...can I use that as the league slogan? ![]() <small>[ 04-25-2002, 03:34 PM: Message edited by: crackpott ]</small> |

The fact that I, like Phil, love redheads, hasn't hurt, as we compare pictures of hot redheads. Now, I like Laura, I just don't obsess over her quite as much as he does. There are occasionally some infantile fights on the message boards, however they are fairly few an far between, and can mostly be ignored. Overall, I've really enjoyed my first 2/3 of a season in the league, and am looking forward to the 2006 season.

Anaheim and Cincinnati are now available too if there are any more screwed up individuals who need something to do in the hours where they're waiting for Kazaa to finish downloading redhead porn.

Kazaa hasn't worked for me recently, so my porn is cut off. I'd like to be an agent... I'm pretty much online from 6-10 every night, but not too much more than that...

Ok, AOL must be on one of those power trips where they block out programs like Trillian...I didn't notice that until today. I'm online now.

Except for a few idiotic people, the league is damn good.
My one complaint: Phil refuses to put Mandy Moore up as the league girl for a week. Maybe if I use Photoshop and add red hair to her...... |

Id be interested in joining; also as a bonus, I to find Donna from the 70's how to be .. shall we say.. exciting, though not quite in the league of Jennifer Love Hewitt... I checked out ur site, and I was wondering how I can find more information on the rules of ur league, and the roles of agents. Im interested in being an owner, but the agents sound interesting..

Just thought I'd bump this old message up as a new recruitment thing. Two teams are available - They're both worse than anything that you could possibly imagine.
Washington, and Oakland. At least Oakland has the best player in the game and the money to move to the east coast...Anyway, If you're interested, I need you to mail me (crackpott@rogers.com ) with your AIM name and WHY you'd make a good owner. The more you write, the better. Those of you who don't make the cut of the top two can take a college team if you wish, and if you do well, you'll get the first major league team available. |
