    Meph was a member here years ago (right at the time Sabermetrics was gaining popularity) who always acted like he was the smartest person in the room. He had very big (and often very wrong) opinions, always backed up by his misunderstanding of advanced statistics. He famously predicted that Khalil Greene was going to be the next Alex Rodriguez. Kyle.....where to start. Smart dude, but was such a mixture of pretentious and weird that everything he posted was completely off putting.

    As someone who has mostly just been a dismissive jerk in this thread, I will offer some actual advice. You don't need to prove anything. Stop trying. Just offer opinions. Expect to be challenged on them. I am the king of saying dumb horsefeathers on this board, but learn a lot from what other people post (and occasionally get things right). Any time you start a sentence with "I'm going to come back and show you all...." just stop. Don't do that. Don't build some sort of scientific/philosophical whatever it is you think you're doing to prove something. Don't try to prove your intellect or deep thinking or whatever. Just be a person talking with other people.

    You can sign out and stop posting. Instead, you keep going. You can't help it.

    I thought you were leaving?

    The lack of self awareness should be studied by scientists

    But has Caleb recently impregnated his Hollywood wife?
  8. Derwood
    Nothing says "I'm leaving" like posting it over and over again

    Not saying the salary cap causes lack of parity, I'm saying it clearly doesn't fix a league where regardless of the salary rules, most players want to play for the same 6 teams

    I’m looking at the current WL records with five teams at or below a .250 winning oct while another has 1 loss
  11. Derwood
    the NBA is a great example of how a hard salary cap in no way creates parity

    Christopher Morel signing with Miami

    Scientifically speaking, what percentage of our roster should be featured speakers at the Turning Point USA America First 2025 conference?

    This dude should be glad he can't access the Social forums, we're actually kind of mean there

    Ah, so the guy who was 6 when the Cubs won the World Series has all the answers.
  17. Derwood
    Right, why win a World Series now when we could fantasize about some utopian future instead?

    Nothing endears you more to a an established message board than being the new guy and accusing everyone of being a hive mind while also bragging about your high IQ

    "Short term success isn't important" is a bad take
  20. Derwood
    lol

    I don't even understand why dead money exists, how it's calculated, why for some players it's higher than their AAV and for others it's lower, etc. Feels like a random number generator
  22. Derwood
    Based on other sex scandals in the NCAA, this probably isn't the end of Moore's career
  23. Derwood
    You could explain the cap rule and dead money to me like I was 5 years old every day for the next year and I still wouldn't understand it

  25. Derwood
    and they want it to be bigger
