    Lots is made of the youth here, how about we settle some things. Maybe we'll wait for football, maybe we'll make it something that runs through the summer. Who knows what the format would be, but im sure we could figure something.

    There is a lot of young talent here

    im sure there are some other young guns but i dont know everyones age (turnip?...others). Then there are the old farts led by the likes of HH, WoW, TTT, TTP, Munson, Teaze, JJ, Wrigley, pokernuts, and LTprofits.


    Old timers would take it on the chin in this thing, i cant imagine they'd want to risk their status as the top dogs...

                  fish is not eligible. You must have an IQ over 43. fadethefish reps are also not allowed to use their plays, thats considered cheating. soon fishfades will moves lines more than Walters.

                    I'm 30, and if that classifies me as a young buck, then the old farts don't stand a chances.

                    Joking a side, this would be good fun.

                        Football season would be better, not much interest in bases by most guys. I will go 25k one on one with any guy under 25.

                          I think that would be a fun challenge...I would be in with whatever sport (I can try to learn ).
                          Note: JJ has to play for sure.

                            agree, got to set it up for foots. bases would be a waste.

                            we need a name for the contest.

                                  I'll play during foots - but only if I can be traded to the young guys team on wavers.

                                    It really should be a year long challenge, to show the skill over all sports.

                                          The idea still sounds cool though.

                                              would be hard to keep interest all year, but maybe we can do it. we have enough minds here to put something good together.

                                                          Good idea MOFO, however including JJ in the 30+ group would only give the young team that much more of an edge.

                                                          Will the teams be made up of regular posters or cappers?

                                                          Although there are many who fall into both categories, such as
                                                          LTprofits and img, and turnip, onlooker,Big Bollucks,Dark Horse,etc.

                                                          This is no knock against JJ as he is entertainer #1 on the site,however if your going to include entertainers in a capping contest, then be fair and put an entertainer such as WE EAT FISH on the young team!! no?

                                                          gl with the contest..................AL

                                                            I would play....but I have a feeling it would be much like when I used to be forced to play softball in gym class: picked last and responsible for losing the game.
