  1. Yeah he walks into an ideal situation defensively with room to grow and a nice draft pick to start the new regime.
  2. Kendeezy I think you have me, if you don't, you should.
  3. Insta- "No I'm A Guy, Give Me 2 Popsicle Sticks And A Rubber Band... I'll Find A Way To Fuck It Like A Filthy MacGuyver" nomination.
  4. Let's hope! I keep forgetting this is only my 4th year o.O
  5. 2nd Annual VHL Member Madness Kansas Here ye here ye! The time has come... For the second annual Member Madness! The inaugural month of madness started and ended with happiness, excitement, disappointment and sadness. But most importantly, everyone had fun voting and discussing their favorite Victory Hockey League player-agents in a one-loss, 64 agent tournament. What is Member Madness you say? Why, only the best thing the Victory Hockey League has witnessed since Alfie changed his name to Victor! "As a league, we fully endorse this two-week competition. It increases activity throughout the forum and adds to the every day banter of throughout the league," Commissioner Victory explained earlier in 2013. Member Madness is a league bracket made up of 64 player-agents, who face off against one another to see, simply put, who is better! "It's pretty stupid, I can't stand it. People make fun of me and give me a hard time because I lose in the first round. I think it's rigged," 701, formally known as Kibbie wailed to reporters. We don't care! Fuck you! The winner of the 2nd annual VHL Member Madness will win... Nothing! Below are the brackets, which have been modified to add a little extra to this year's festivities. Last year's catch was, unfortunately, strictly based on post count. That was boring. We could do that again, but with the influx of new guys and returning members I figured we could have a little more fun with it. The catch this year is that you have to nominate someone to a bracket division in order to join this year's VHL Member Madness! Simply put, you need to nominate someone else to be entered in yourself! AARP Members These commercials are depressing Nemos Noobs with a very recent "joined date" Racial Slurs Clint Eastwood Made In Gran Torino For $2000 "No I'm A Guy, Give Me 2 Popsicle Sticks And A Rubber Band... I'll Find A Way To Fuck It Like A Filthy MacGuyver" Because. Once the nominations and player admittance has been finalized, player-agents will be put into one of these four divisions. Based on 1 versus 8, 2 versus 7, 3 versus 6 and 4 versus 5 single elimination rounds, player-agents will go against one another with others determining who they think is better! It can be based on total points earned (TPE), activity, their real-life career, what part of the world they live in, their user name, the list is endless! Each round will last approximately between 48 to 72 hours, giving members enough time to vote for each respective match up. At this rate over 6 rounds, we should land at about the two week mark. Frequently Asked Questions Q). What do I do?!? A). Create a list of members you think should be entered into the VHL Member Madness. It can be as little as one, but it's preferred if you have multiple members in your list. Preference will be given to members who are listed more often. Personal Message or respond to this media spot with the list. Personal messaging is nice, but it's more fun to start the hating publicly. Q). When is our list due to you oh great Elmo of Fresco? A). Next Sunday, January 17th. Q). All of our Canadian hockey teams suck, what can we do to help? A). Win this and all of your dreams will come true. Q). Will Vasteras Win the Continental Cup? A). Ready? Go. -Former mgmt now innocent bystander
  6. It does, I don't think you can add it in using code unfortunately. Use the image button in your post (white and green, middle of the second row).
  7. Zamora Begins Season As An Unknown About a quarter of the way through a brand new season, veteran Felix Zamora has played alongside some of the best players in the Victory Hockey League. What has he to show for it? "17 points. Not exactly what I have come to expect, especially after my season in Calgary last year," Zamora explained to the media. In a much similar build with the Wranglers last year, Felix tallied a career-high 96 points, four short of the century mark. "That team was 100% offense, all the time. We scored, then scored again, and scored some more," Felix told reporters. "Here in Quebec, things are a little bit different. We are very well-balanced across the board. There are lesser 5-1 wins, but more 3-2 or 2-1 wins. I think down the road that will pay a lot of dividends. We'll arrive in the playoffs with the close-game experience most teams don't get." Felix has given the public his now well-rehearsed "defensive" mindset many times, but is it really working? He does not trump any single statistical category on the team, let alone the North American Conference. "Just trying to find my niche, I guess, Zamora finished. "I'm sure by the end of the year you will be seeing a much different player!"
  8. Superior would be correct. I'm re-watching this on Netflix, just finished the 3rd season. Palpable.
  9. 'At his height' would indicate that he's already past his prime after six years? I don't think there's anything to get hung up on, they're physical attributes. He didn't suddenly become Chris Johnson overnight. He's a power back that fits Baltimore's system, it was a good fit for what he has to offer. Second round picks are not chump change either, so how 'outplayed' do you think he has been? Completely reasonable to say he played up to his profile... He broke tons of records in college and was well-received coming out of it. But a lot of 2nd round picks have great careers so I'm not sure if I understand where you're coming from. Yes I very much agree with this, I was really pulling for him before we wasted 100 million dollars. I could see a second-round flier on him but there's no way we use a 1st on him now considering out needs on defense. He probably won't make it to our 14th overall anyways.
  10. Squinty don't leave us hanging... How did this end up?
  11. This one is BA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWztdK2ZeLM
  12. Read up on his combine profile. "Lacks prototype breakaway speed, especially for his size". That being said, 4.42 (unofficial) is good, but would you consider guys like Matt Forte, Rashard Mendenhall and Johnathan Stewart slower than him simply because of their fourties? And that is just in the 2008 class. It tells a pretty good story if a running back doesn't run the fourty, short of injuries. He ran the 20-yard and 3-cone so I'd guess there was nothing wrong. Agile is also different than speed, the former of which yeah I'd tend to agree. Always stirring the pot Kendrick!!!
  13. Did you just compare Ray Rice to speedy running backs? http://www.nfl.com/combine/top-performers#year=2006-2007-2008-2009-2010-2011-2012-2013&workout=FORTY_YARD_DASH&position=RB Edit: He didn't even run the 40 in the combine, not sure how this conclusion was made.
  14. He knows how to win, there's more that can be said about that than physical attributes. Similar to Russell Wilson in that regard more than anything.
  15. I think it is a shell of the parent league's STHS page, so yeah outside of Vasteras, none of those links work. Shouldn't be too hard to navigate on the root page though.
  16. Considering Russell Wilson is a middling quarterback on a team that is built to succeed without him, being the next "Russell Wilson" isn't really what I would consider a high ceiling. Fran Tarkington maybe. Either way this guy has proven himself over the last 2 years and would be fun to watch in the pros... Plus, has the intangibles that you would look for.
  17. Squinty Skip that shit and enjoy life for a night There will be an abundance of notes. Or you could just ask for help on your next quiz here too
  18. I'll be around tomorrow if that's any constellation
