James and I fix sports
This might fall below the "worth posting" threshold...but what the hell. A silly IM conversation I just had with James, a friend I stole from Walter (not that it was any of my doing...they were arch-enemies already).
Joxer Jameson: whats up sugar tits?
Brian: my breasts are cinnamony, thank you
Joxer Jameson: hah noted
Brian: not much
Brian: you?
Joxer Jameson: same
Joxer Jameson: watching the bosox
Brian: it is too early for baseball again
Joxer Jameson: suck me
Brian: here's my problem with baseball
Brian: there's too many games
Joxer Jameson: agreed
Brian: every day when I check NBA results, if lowly Seattle, say, stomps the Spurs or whatever, I'm like "oooh! damn! that's a big deal!"
Joxer Jameson: that it tough
Joxer Jameson: which is why football season is so greta
Joxer Jameson: its short and intense
Joxer Jameson: but
Joxer Jameson: baseball is still a great game
Brian: no, football's worse, because the amount of talk and hype is WAY out of proportion to the amount of game
Joxer Jameson: haha
Brian: and it is hard to track elite performers who can take over a game
Joxer Jameson: half the fun
Joxer Jameson: no way
Joxer Jameson: you jsut need to do your own research
Joxer Jameson: cant pay too too much attentian to sports writers
Brian: no, I mean, I know I don't know the plays they run and all that shit
Joxer Jameson: yeah but when you watch as many games as possible you know who the play makers are
Brian: but say, Brady and Manning will never square off against each other at the same time
Brian: I think that is lame
Joxer Jameson: oh like head to head?
Brian: yeah
Joxer Jameson: on the field at the same time?
Joxer Jameson: that should be a game
Brian: basketball achieves the perfect blend of the individiual and the team - you have to have both at the same time
Joxer Jameson: haha
Brian: I would like football more if there were two offenses at once with two balls
Brian: and the offense also had to play defense vs. the other side
Joxer Jameson: haha yeah
Joxer Jameson: that would be interesting
Brian: so then the penultimate play could be setup
Joxer Jameson: id like to check that out
Brian: where one QB is throwing a long TD pass
Brian: and the other QB blocks it by throwing their ball so that it hits the other ball in midair and knocks it off course
Joxer Jameson: haha
Joxer Jameson: that would take insane acuracey
Brian: that's why it is penultimate
Joxer Jameson: hahaha
Joxer Jameson: lets start it
Joxer Jameson: 10 men for each team at once?
Brian: awesome
Brian: yeah
Joxer Jameson: i see how this could happen
Brian: we'll call it "Double Quarter-Pounder....WITH DEATH"
Brian: although there wouldn't be much death
Joxer Jameson: haha
Joxer Jameson: maybe not in YOUR version
Brian: we have competing leagues already?
Joxer Jameson: just competing teams
Brian: oh, ok
Joxer Jameson: yours will, naturally, be massacered
Brian: this is true

what we need is for one team to do it against all the other's using a 60 man roster. hmmm an example, ok!
from the wiki:
1939 – The year of the Ironmen
Iowa football was clearly struggling as 1939 began. In fact, the entire athletic department was in poor financial shape. The debt on Iowa Stadium grew by the year, and Iowa had finished among the worst three teams in the league standings every year in the 1930’s except 1933. Iowa's new coach, Dr. Eddie Anderson, felt the Hawks, lacking depth, could still be a good team in 1939, but only if the starters played all sixty minutes. Thus, the 1939 Hawkeye football team, nicknamed the Ironmen, became one of the greatest teams in school history and certainly the most romanticized.
Much of the sentimentality surrounding that team is due to Nile Kinnick. Kinnick was an all-Big Ten selection as a sophomore, when he led the nation in punting average, but he struggled through an injury-riddled junior season. Kinnick personified Anderson’s Ironman mentality for the team. Kinnick played halfback (though he did most of the passing for the team), defensive back, kicker, punter, kick returner, and punt returner.

Iowa finished the year with a 6-1-1 record and was ranked ninth in the final Associated Press (AP) poll.
They had AP polls in the 30s? Weird.
Great work.
