Bragging and FFL

GRANTS B.I.T is A.B.T.M (A bit too much)

I am sure you all received the email from Grant (B.I.T one)   "B.I.T" boasted Grant.  “Wow” thought I, he must have been playing top of the ladder Colemen or hard to beat Boners, maybe duel premiership WAS and should be proud of his win.  When I looked at who he beat, his triumph wasn’t quite as grand. He beat the Rah Rahs.  That’s right, bottom of the ladder, yet to win, no idea what he’s doing Rah Rahs.  “But hang on wise commissioner, I have beaten Rah Rahs too” I hear you say “I wasn’t bragging about it”  Yes that is true. Bragging about beating Rah Rahs is like bragging about whaling on the under 10’s netball girls in a game of British Bulldog.  Not that I am calling Andrew a girl.

Rah rahs – are they the third girl’s team?

The Commissioner has done some digging because despite Andrew’s constant losses, he has scored some decent results.  In fact in one week, he would have beaten every team, except the team he played.   That’s just the cruelty of FFL (and the hilarity of it too!!) This commissioner has found out that Andrew is in fact NOT picking his team but it is in fact his partner in crime and in life!  And she is of course a GIRL!!!!  So the Rah Rah’s are in fact the third girl’s team in the league (still not calling Andrew a girl)

More Boasting

This year has been the year of the gloat as even the even tempered Wendy was heard to boast   “I beat Grant!!” she cried  “I beat Grant”.  The win is funny because it was only by one point, and even funnier because Wendy probably added it up wrong. 

Bringing Numeracy into the FFL

I take my iSMART goals very seriously and I am about to introduce some mathematics into the FFL.  Maths is a wonderful friend, especially when it helps put shit on people.  The ladder is only one way to measure the success of failures of an FFL team but there are other measures.  Such as Average Score For, this helps show consistency in scoring.  So which team is consistently bad?  Special mention needs to be given to Dan Mayes Aardvarks.  He is only averaging one more point more than Rah Rahs!!  What does your spread sheet say about that DAN? 

Wendy is actually performing well below average, scoring lower totals than Rah Rahs!  (even though she has had two victories) That's the type of maths that's funny. 

Bleeding Blue is bleeding percentage wise and this is of course is because of Cristian’s inability to email a team on two occasions, which resulted in two 70 point scores.  It means that Karl must have a win up his sleeve if he wants to be in the top 5.  Karl you don’t always get what you want, put your eggs in the Panther basket if you want finals glory

A Marriage is on the line

Next week offers a real conundrum.  It is the first time Sophie and Karl will be pitted against each other (other than the time the wall paper debate ensued)   People doubt that both teams will go hard at it.  They couldn’t be more wrong. While Karl has Super Mario Cart sorted and constantly beats Sophie, football is one place that both are highly competitive.  Sophie may or may not have called Karl a “Johnny Come Lately” last year about a football matter and this may or may not have pissed Karl off a fair bit (because he has autistic qualities when it comes to football information).  These two will be fighting until the bitter end for bragging rights.  So no need to worry FFLers, we are both in it, to win it.  (PS Sophie won the wall paper debate)
