It is World Shtickless though.  Let's just stick with doing nothing.  The teams that tank have the worst owners anyway.

BRET

Why would you only dedicate 13/15 towards amateur scouting when you *knew* you had both the 7th and 8th picks in the draft? Wouldn't you want to maximize their value?

The league went from "where gin always wins" to "where bret always loses".

Maybe moy is the $ advisor he alluded to yesterday.

no one can tell robusk from rlahann.

You are only in trouble if you can't tell tylermathias from blackmink.

I have fielded teams with no chance of winning a bunch of times.  I don't play players out of position, promote my best prospects to the majors, or sign anything better than the dregs of FA on one-year contracts.  My worst 6 seasons (with those requirements), in wins: 64, 64, 60, 50, 61, 59.
So it is possible to win less than 60.  But each of those teams was a playoff contender 2-3 years later.  So maybe it should be something like "if you win under 120 combined in 2 consecutive years, you must win 155 or make the playoffs in the next 2."

I like this idea, or some variation on it

Yeah, me too.
I think combining this with focused ridicule, mocking, and shunning; as well as budgetary constraints would go wonders to keeping everyone in line, and maybe even improving our median funny
Ok I'm on board if we do this retroactively....anyone who has done this at any point is out of the league.

Seee ya booby, hope you win 91 this year herz
Jackson McNamarra and Ray Putnum had better get their **** together

Most people aren't paying that money to just lose repeatedly. Besides bret and maybe tracyr. And sometimes it takes more effort for someone to restrict payroll and spend money on building up their prospects than it does to just maintain a steady ship.
is this when the ridicule starts?

50% of alcheez posts are "shutup moy" and both those shofers should get callin gout from sergei.  Let's boot them too.
That number has to be wrong.

37% - "shut up moy"
28% - Phillies talk
12% - nuzzling up to TM like that cat tracyr fingerfucked
9% - CBS comedies
8% - concurring with things people say about HBD
5% - new forum rankings
1% - bailing on SHoFer gatherings

See, this is my point.  This is such a ridiculously conservative standard (still higher than TM's BS) that despite my outright tanking, I still would have cleared it without a problem.
