[/quote]<br /><br />Actually, I&#039;ve captained twice before, with a career record of 1 win, 3 losses, and 1 tie in games I bothered to show up to, a career win% of .300, which is just a shade over the .278 posted by DMR and DMC last season, the only teams worse than FLS.<br /><br />[quote author=MassVC link=topic=433.msg4052#msg4052 date=1305520347]...easy wins aren&#039;t fun for the winner...[/quote]<br /><br />I beg to differ - all wins are great, especially when I get to pad my [b]stats[/b].<br /><br />[quote author=MassVC link=topic=433.msg4052#msg4052 date=1305520347]LB ...i... ...s... better than the rest of us<br />[/quote]<br /><br />I will agree with this, though.&nbsp; However, there&#039;s a lot more to it than just skill.&nbsp; I have a way more unstable connection than the other 4 new captains, with last season&#039;s miracle (and controversial, I still think mike shoulda won it) MVP run being the only time I was consistently at playable levels.&nbsp; For emphasis, check out S2010, when I drafted Ladna and Rus who both played awesome, and still barely crawled into the playoffs.&nbsp; Skill is important.&nbsp; So is ping.<br /><br />I also have a really jacked up schedule that doesn&#039;t afford me much time to practice, or even play.&nbsp; I go to bed at around 8 or 9 pm every night, which means most of the games that I do play I&#039;ll either be a zombie from lack of sleep, or wake up in the middle of the night to play them.&nbsp; For emphasis, see W2011 weeks 5 and 6, where I was average at best in one, and the reason my team lost in the other.<br /><br />Am I biased writing this post? Of course I am; I want the best pick that I can possibly get, and thus the best chance of winning a Masterbowl.&nbsp; When you&#039;ve only won 1 playoff game in your 5-season career, you&#039;ll take whatever you can get.<br /><br />Chewy, if you&#039;re reading this, disregard all of the above and accept your invite please.
