can you apply that system to bluesmen? or sprinters?

I'd be interested in a Fantasy Blues league where each week, a team of bluesmen goes up against another. Stats could be things like: technical efficiency, voice, songwriting, hard living, and blackness.
Since a lot of them are dead, it would be difficult to get them to face off in real life. So I would assign each of them a football player from the NFL. And that would dictate what their statistics were each week.
So...you could assign Brady to Robert Johnson. And each NFL stat to a blue stat. So, passing yards could be blackness for example.

I get the fact you're trying to do your little dumb kid routine but I never pass up a chance to talk them blues/sprinting. You struggle with those who know their stuff, as do most.

Would you believe when it comes to RB's/blues/sprinting as a combo I am the worlds authority on that as a trio? I have it totally/completely/100% covered. I have no equal.

When it comes to sprinting ya go with honors won/longevity at the top and WR's. Obviously these guys today are now able to run into their 30's because of professionalism, something the old timers couldn't do. So we also have to consider dominance of era there.

When it comes to them blues we must look at prewar and postwar. Things changed dramatically with the advent of the electric guitar and southern blacks moving north.

The Mount Rushmore of sprinting....Usian Bolt, Bob Hayes, Michael Johnson, Carl Lewis.
The Mount Rushmore of them blues.....B.B. King, Bessie Smith, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters.

If I were you or anyone actually I'd enjoy the fact you have someone like me around, take a student's approach, see what ya cah learn instead of acting goofy over this. But ya won't, you'll come back acting stupid as usual.

I do have fun with this, obviously. Little s like you who simply can't grasp the concept that here is the real deal, that guy who knows all there is know about the things I talk about, cracks me up. So it always starts out the same...."yeah right, you Googled that"....hahahaha!!!! Then as time goes on they FINALLY figure it out, yep, this cat knows his stuff....DAMN!!!!

Ha~~~~~~~~~

Dude, I was the moderator at the world famous SUB10 Messageboard, the top sprint (the owner of the site closed it because of health reasons) site on the internet. I am the most knowledgeable person there is when it comes to the who, what, where and when pertaining to them blues, football and track, ok? So embrace it, don't fight it, ok?

I said this after 2013, "you will now get my legit $$$$ making ATS plays "...finally. Since then plus over $3000.

Smart move giving it up trying to hang with me.

Why do you constantly feel the need to tell a bunch of people who are at least half your age how smart you think you are about certain topics? Are you striving for some kind of validation or self gratification by 20-35 year olds?

You said it right there with..."you think you are". As long as I get that sort of response I'll continue to do what I do. Why this need to play that when it's real obvious I can talk about things nobody else here can? Well?

Talk to me about the Malone brothers, Art and Benny, how about the Bates brothers, one was Marion a RB for your Saints.

You like most have some need to fight it, why?

Poor little guy, not a clue.

[Avante]

I have never seen a season with so many name players have missed games due to injuries. It's getting weird.

Have we gotten too big, too fast, too strong to play football anymore? Keep in mind when the game first came about a big man was 220 pounds and nobody was running a sub 4.6.

Big Ben
Tony Romo
Joe Flacco
La'Veon Bell
Dez Bryant
Gronk
Julian Edelman
Danny Amandoela
Dion Lewis
Jamall Charles
Carlos Hyde
Peyton Manning
Steve Smith
Kelvin Benjamin
Reggie Bush
Julio Jones
Justin Forsett
Matt Forte
Arian Foster
Heath Miller
Antonio Gates
Jimmy Graham
Terrell Suggs
Vernon Davis

and all those I'm forgetting.

When I start searching for ATS "spots" I've never had to factor in injury like I have in 2015 before. It 's becoming part of the process more so than ever.

Frank "Brusier" Kinard was a beast in 1938, a 210 pound ........offensive tackle. He is in the HOF.

[Avante]

Adrian Peterson now has more rushing yards than O.J.Simpson.

Simpson was probably the fastest back ever up to his point in time. He was a legit 9.4 (WR 9.1) guy who ran a leg on USC's WR4x1 team. Also placed in the NCAA indoor 60. He had a lot of speed for a RB, usuallly that kind of speed is a wide receiver. And it was rare for a guy around 210ish to be that fast and elusive.

It's Mario Bates not Marion you dumbass. You're thinking of Marion Butts who came out of FSU and was a Pro Bowler for the Chargers. Mario Bates was a 2nd round bust for the Saints. He was fast but soft between the tackles. Only thing he is known for in NOLA is getting his jaw broken by Lorenzo Neal in a bar fight.

Didn't I mention ..THE BATES BROTHERS...ya stupid ? Tell me dummy who was Marion Butts NFL playing brother? Getting back to Mario who was his brother? And, when did Marion Butts play for the Saints?

ing idiot~~~~~~

You said Marion Bates. His name is Mario Bates.

[Pelicans78]

You said Marion Bates. His name is Mario Bates.

You really gonna ask me who Michael Bates is?

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

You really gonna ask me who Michael Bates is?

Good luck this coming weekend. The dome is the only place Newton hasn't figured out yet. He plays terrible in there.

[Avante]

You said Marion Bates. His name is Mario Bates.

Who is Marion Bates? Dude, it wasn't real obvious I meant Mario, come on guy.

[Avante]

You really gonna ask me who Michael Bates is?

Well yeah, since I have doubts ya know much about this stuff.

So what is Michael Bates known for?

[Avante]

Being a trends/stats player trying to find "spots" where one team has a huge advantage is really getting hard to do because of the overwelming amount of injuries this season. I'm having to work too hard to search out who is out and who is back. Thinking about taking my 900 and change and pocket it until the playoffs. Debating it.

I've never seen as many star players missing time due to injury like I have in 2015. So many injuries, why?

bend over, I'll show you missing time due to injury

[Avante]

So ya tried to pick ATS and came off looking stupid, why take it out on me? I told ya you'd lose unless ya did research.
It's hard enought knowing all the trends/angles "spots" like I do.

Every season the Vegas Hilton has a pick um contest, talking ATS. Ya know what wins it, around 56%, and these are the pros. And they do the homework.

letting my daughter get on here and post was a mistake....yep...never do that again...
though it would be fun to let her see...thread about blues and track and field and the shenanigans that go on here...
let her make a few NFL picks and post them...sheesh....
and you think that I....made those...picks?????
zoooooom.

Well at least ya learned how it was done. You saw that without any knowledge of ATS stats ya stand no chance. It takes me about 4 hours to find 3-5 plays where one team has most the advantages from an ATS perspective.

I'll ignore the stupid bull .

Little man, why the stupid clown routine?

4-5 hours? I spend that just creating a spreadsheet and assembling the data. I don't post all of my picks here. Nope...don't want to advertise how good I really am....I get this betting thing!

It's pretty simple...I do some advanced metrics that you wouldn't understand but also...hey...yesssss...I watch the games.

You can't data crunch or "spot" the fact that Joshua Bumnutter can't cover WR on his left side. So if I know he's going up against Rastus Cridully (who yep...lines up on the right and breaks...yep...to the CB left), I'll give that consideration.
Makes all the difference in a -3 and a -7.

btw, I made up those names so don't bother Googling their high school 40 times.

Pay attention shorty.

Ya start with home/road. And then what role a team is in. Are they a HF, RD, HD or RF? Now ya need to know how they do in that role in that month.

Colts in December as a HF....8-2 ATS, they are playing the Vikes who as a RD in December are 2-8. That gives the Colts a 16-4 trend. That is very strong. Now ya try to find 3-5 plays that strong, so what are the odds of all of them losing for ya on the same weekend? Not good.

But, ya can't factor in the weather/bad calls/turnovers/injuries, so about the best ya can hope for is 3-2. 6-4.

See ya learned something ya little weirdo.
