More Banjo: Week 2 @ Atlanta

[hoosier]

Say it again?

[pbmax]

Please don't tell me this "average value" is some fantasy football thing. Say it ain't so.

I find opinions of what is seen on the field more interesting. Not that all opinions are equally well based. Things change year-to-year, and an observer can account for whether a player's productivity is due to his individual skill or team factors.

I agree Baranczyk makes it a point worth debating. Sanu had a good game. But in part that is by design as the Packers would rather Sanu catch all the balls rather than Jones.

Average value is a very rough measure of player success. Its partially dependent on stats specific to a position, but also takes into account things like postseason recognition. Its not the end all of the argument. But Sanu has been underused compared to the other two. If he is a talent on par with them, his teams haven't figured it out yet.

Come on you sleepy mutt, time to emerge from your kennel and enter into the 21st century. Value is DVOA, a football outsiders advanced stat (Defense-adjusted Value over average?), the football equivalent of baseball's WAR.

I could look those up too, but average value here is from Pro-Football-Reference.

Ah, when an entertainment comes down to stats and computer models, it alienates more people than it attracts. It becomes information gathering.

I tried a fantasy league with a sport I follow closely (college wrestling.) I like to win. It distracts from appreciation of the sport, you worry too much about your allegiance to your fantasy team.

It's like the Analog Kid versus the Digital Man in here.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Can I suggest Rutnstrut instead? His posting volume is smaller and will leave you more time to ruminate.

He's to the point, alright. But kinda strikes me as rough trade.

[Harlan Huckleby]

For the farm boys:

rough trade: violent, often brutal sex acts, or a person, usually a male prostitute, who looks like they participate in such acts.

Dude, I'm a 45 year old father of 3 that looks like a lumberjack. I'd be the worst male prostitute ever.

[pbmax]

Hold on. Doesn't rough trade mean the (mostly) straight johns that male prostitutes service in certain areas? (Sailors and the lot)

Of course, my exposure to this term is incidental, and involves G. Gordon Liddy in a non-Watergate role.

Here's a magazine related to the genre:


I do think from Rutnstrut's description above he would fit right in. Flannel shirt, hairy chest.....

I think "rough trade" is like "bear", but with a bit of danger/violence to it.

I had some gay friends who called me "rough trade", I somehow knew what they were joking about. Actually, I'm not very tough and would be more of a bear.

[pbmax]

I can't believe G. Gordon would be misleading.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I can't believe G. Gordon would be misleading.

The guy in the bar just told you he was G. Gordon Libby

And then the thread really went off the rails...

THE END

And then the thread really went off the rails...

I picked it up here and had to back track....wish I hadn't.
