Are liberals or conservatives better at fantasy football?

[cmh6476 759]

I say conservatives. They tend to have a better work ethic, are more educated, and would take the time to research more of their players. Plus, they tend to guard their money a little tighter, and therefore value their investment in their fantasy team better.

 

Thoughts?

You mean the 40 threads on page 1 of the Geek bored wasn't enough?

 

Be that as it may - I agree with you 100%

[idiotec 31]

Well, in a Liberal league, everyone just ties every week. Kind of takes the fun out of it.

In a liberal league, girls shouldn't play if they have more than two children.

or better yet...

 

 

Conservative League:

 

1st - 90% of winnings

2nd - 10% of winnings

everyone else - better luck next year

 

 

Liberal Leagues

 

1st - 25%

2nd - 20%

3rd - 15%

4th - 12%

5th - 10%

6th - 8%

7th - 5%

8th - 3%

9th - 2%

10th - everyone donates this guy 1% of their individual winnings

I think conservatives are better because they know how to cheat without getting caught. The liberals will whine about collusion but never do anything about it.

[GettnHuge 1]

In a liberal league, there is no 1->10 or 1->12 picks. Everyone gets a #1 overall pick, everyone gets a #2

overall pick and so on. LT's and AP's and Brady's and etc stats will be split evenly amongst all owners. Ties

are not only allowed, but the only possible outcome. Despite keeping stats, they don't keep score anyway.

 

If you make under 20k per year you get $500 to play.

If you make 20-40k per year the league fee is $300.

If you make 40-60k per year the league fee is $900

If you make over 60k per year the league fee is $11,000.

 

95% of the league coffers goes to the commish for bureaucratic costs and taxes.

5% of the league coffers goes to those who make under 20k per year.

Everyone else gets a nice warm feeling of pride and a sticker for making society better.

 

Fun!

Conservatives are better at fantasy football because liberals play in leagues where all games end in a tie. The whiny liberals got rid of kick ball and tag at schools because their short, skinny liberal kid was was losing all the time and it hurt his self esteem. Of course the liberals are now trying to make all fantasy games end in ties, so their kids won't have to lose and feel like crap.

liberals are better because they don't have to go to church on sundays.

liberals are better because they know how to use the internet.

how can McCain claim to be in the same party as 'Lincoln and Roosevelt?' its convenient that he didn't identify which roosevelt he was talking about....

 

Lincoln was a republican when the parties were nearly opposite to what they are today. Red, bible-thumping, middle american states today = republican. back than, white slave owning stats (the same ones as red, bible-thumping middle american states) = democrats. not the same thing. Lincoln cannot be claimed as a 'modern' republican.

 

secondly, he didnt identify which roosevelt he was talking about. obviously it couldn't have been FDR because he organized the big party switch.... he was the first modern democrat.

 

teddy was a republican in name only, he was in fact part of the bull-moose party.

I think Liberals because they typically do not work so they should have more free time for cheatsheets.

you're right, i shouldn't take this stuff too seriously. after all, have u seen your candidate and his VP? no chance.

 

good luck with that.

Not only do they have a chance, they are going to win.

 

B/c far too many people in this country are as misinformed and clueless as this thread would suggest.

ahaha thats great. i don't know how you guys come up with this stuff but keep it coming

wait have you really seen your candidate for PRESIDENT? or have you just been spoon-fed one liners that most of his other followers use to try and sound intelligent

 

[WhiteWonder 2,179]

was a poor VP choice tbh but seriously take this shyte where it belongs.

[WhiteWonder 2,179]

yes! i love when political "debates" boil down to comments like this one because when a line like this is viewed alone, you really can't be sure who they mean by "your candidate"

 

when it comes to spoon feeding one liners, all politicians and parties are the same

There are idiots on both sides and everywhere in between. If your identity is tied to a label, then I would say you probably suck at most things in life....including fantasy football.

conservatives wouldnt bother with this. they dont like to have fun.

[cmh6476 759]

wait, how do the tree-huggers even print their spreadsheets? Save the trees!#@

Just think of the great team names in both leagues:

 

Hope

Change

The FlipFloppers

The Bastard Babies (this can be for both leagues now w/ Edwards & Palin's Daughter)

The Larry Craig Tapdancers

The Bridges to Nowhere

[Thornton Melon 544]

Libertarians are the best at fantasy football because they know it's every man for himself!

The Larry Craig Tapdancers

 

LOL

 

He has a wide stance!!

Liberals win easily and it's not even close. Conservatives make their first couple of picks and then do nothing because they think the production of these two will be enough to lift the whole team (trickle down economics). Liberals understand that the true strength of a fantasy team comes from the middle and late round picks. When these picks are strong the team is strong.

Conservatives are better-educated than liberals?

[Captain Goomy Noomy Roo 47]

Conservatives don't have any time for this.

 

They are too busy chasing all of their kids around since they don't believe in family planning.

 

They are also too busy chasing all of their grandchildren around (see point above or reference Sarah Palin and Brit and etc.)

 

And then once they turn 40 their house is a zoo with unwed mothers and bastard children.

 

Real conservatives just buy their girlfriend/mistress an abortion and then go line up in a chain to mock people in front of abortion clinics.

 

I don't have time for this either... but I do it anyway.

 

Education?... Check your college campuses.... What do you think you will find? Not too many lovers of Bush/Cheney

Misattributed Quotes:

 

If you're not a liberal when you're 25, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative by the time you're 35, you have no brain.

According to research by Mark T. Shirey, citing Nice Guys Finish Seventh: False Phrases, Spurious Sayings, and Familiar Misquotations by Ralph Keyes, 1992, this quote was first uttered by mid-nineteenth century historian and statesman François Guizot when he observed, Not to be a republican at 20 is proof of want of heart; to be one at 30 is proof of want of head. This quote has been attributed variously to George Bernard Shaw, Benjamin Disraeli, Otto von Bismarck, and others.

 

Furthermore, the Churchill Centre, on its Falsely Attributed Quotations page, states "there is no record of anyone hearing Churchill say this." Paul Addison of Edinburgh University is quoted as stating: "Surely Churchill can't have used the words attributed to him. He'd been a Conservative at 15 and a Liberal at 35! And would he have talked so disrespectfully of Clemmie, who is generally thought to have been a lifelong Liberal?"

 

Variants: Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has no heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains.

Show me a young conservative and I'll show you someone with no heart. Show me an old liberal and I'll show you someone with no brains.

If you are not a socialist by the time you are 25, you have no heart. If you are still a socialist by the time you are 35, you have no head.

Top five reasons liberals suck at fantasy football.

 

 

5. If you happen to cheat your way to the top and actually win; 50% of your winnings are taxed and given to the less fortunate teams.

 

4. Smack talk consists of lines like “I hope we both win!”

 

3. If you make a trade that seems “unfair” other members create signs and protest outside your home. Mustard gas and coupons to the natural foods store is the only way to get rid of them.

 

2. This is how they catch a football:

That would be Republicans Larry Craig and the good Reverend Ted Haggert...oh yeah and FL. Gov. Charlie Crist. However the Dems do have McGreevey.
