THE FOFC ALL-TIME NFL TEAM CHALLENGE

WSUCougar · 07-11-2003, 02:28 PM

I think most of us know the game of football, enjoy evaluating players in a sim-like manner, and have at least a basic knowledge of the NFL, its players, and its history. Some of us are better at this than others…so here’s the challenge. Which of our greatest football minds can come up with the best all-time team, in a competitive bid format?

Here’s the concept:

1. We, as a group, nominate our 10 challengers. Anyone can nominate someone, including themselves, but THE FIRST 10 NOMINEES TO GET SECONDED & THIRDED ARE IN THE CHALLENGE. They have to accept, of course.

2. We, as a group, decide on the number of players and positions for our all-time team. Example, 1-QB 2-RBs, 1-FB, 2-WRs, 1-TE, 2-Ts, 2-Gs, 1-C, 1-K, 1-P, 1-Returner, 1-Special Teamer, 4-DLs, 4-LBs, 2-CBs, 2-Ss, 1-Coach.

3. We establish a total number of points to spend in bids for their players. Example: 1000

4. The 10 challengers submit blind bids to me via PM. I will then post the current rosters for each challenger; the challenger with the highest bid on a player gains the rights to that player. However, there will obviously be holes in challenger’s lineups (as others bid higher), so this process of blind bidding will continue until every roster is filled.

5. I will then post the 10 challenger’s rosters as a poll, and we will vote to see who compiled the best all-time team!

Bee · 07-11-2003, 02:52 PM

I'll third both Solecismic and Quiksand....that would be a good showdown.

JeeberD · 07-11-2003, 03:02 PM

MIJB#19 · 07-11-2003, 03:32 PM

Shouldn't "we" nominate an underdog as well, someone to root for to beat the "obvious" favorites like QS, Troy and Solecismic?

TroyF · 07-11-2003, 03:37 PM

Thanks for the nominations.

Sounds like fun, I'll give it a shot.

MIJB,

I don't think many people from this board could be considered underdogs in this. I'd be worried about anyone who gets a nomination. (though QS scares the heck out of me)

TroyF

Chief Rum · 07-11-2003, 07:42 PM

Hey, pretty cool idea. And I was nominated and passed in before I even saw the thread!

Ah, I believe in God, but the only thing I fear is Quiksand, methinks. Ouch!

Thanks to those who nominated me. I'll give it my best shot.

I would nominate some myself, but from my count I believe the ten are all in, unless someone declines the invite.

If someone wants to nominate a no name underdog, I'll gladly do it. Football by far is the sport I study and watch with a passion.

I though about mentioning you, mainly because I somehow destroyed your chances to beat QuikSand in fantasy football 3 years ago.

Worth nothing unless someone is going to nominate me, because I won't nominate myself...

Ickey Woods could have been absolutally amazing. I loved watching that guy, especially when he did the shuffle on the courthouse steps after he was found not guilty of something that eludes me at this general juncture in time.

Anyone remember the Nigerian Nightmare, Christian Okoye. Man was that guy a load.

Ben E Lou · 07-12-2003, 01:12 PM

1. I need to know when the contest will run. I'll be out of town (at camp with middle school kids) Tuesday-Sunday this coming week, without web access.

2. I suggest that the contest be structured in such a way that the voters don't know which roster belongs to which person. That way those of us who have, um, made a few enemies along the way, wouldn't be hamstrung.

I think keeping them anonymous for a period of time would be interesting. We could get the unbiased opinions of people before they knew who was behind each team.

korme · 07-12-2003, 02:30 PM

i'll accept, thanks guys (CTHOMER!!)
