I would like to take this time to thank Nick, for his part in creating a nice comfortable "no fault of mine" jacket, that basically transforms me into Frederico at bc's.

Cheers!

Let me try to turn this into a real foosball conversation...


As a goalie, it's my job to prop up, smarten up, motivate, etc for my P.

Every forward I play with is different.

When I play with Sticky, you won't ever hear me saying "be smart!" Cause he's the most calculated player in Denver. He'll have to get blocked 10 times in a row before I call time out to give him some thoughts.

When you hear me saying "Be smart!" to Big Baller, it's because Baller will sometimes let super bad habits creep into the game if he's frustrated. But if he plays methodical, he can really steamroll people. He's a great expert, but just needs to be reined in sometimes when the game starts to get away from him.

If I'm playing with Costello, I would never ever be negative at all, because he's all confidence. When he loses, it's usually because he beats himself, and I'm not going to get pissy about slop or bad breaks and start him down that road. I wouldn't ever say "be smart" to him, because he'd probably choke me out. lol

I've played with you enough to know going in to the finals with a ton of confidence doesn't mean anything. You play worse sometimes when the other team is weaker and you're supposed to win. As my own personal experiment, I thought I would see how you react to the "we're underdogs" approach. Cause some players do play better as underdogs (Tim B, Ross, etc) Never in a million years did I think you would take that comment so literal, and your foosball psyche up and walk out the door.

Lesson learned! lol

Here is where numbers come in handy during a "if and but" debate.

Top 4 finishes........

Boogie 54pts/13 top 4's = 4.15= avg 2nd place+ .15pts

X 43pts/15 top 4's = 2.86= avg 3rd place - .14pts.

Boogie 4.15, X 2.86= Boogie up 1.29= place +.29 higher avg.

Yes, there is still the subjective "if & but" but there is a more objective number to refer too.

More objective in singles. To many variables in doubles.

"Blah blah blah"

All I heard was that you are Ross's personal ball washer.

lol - bro if anyone was Russell Crowe carrying someone's arm, it was me!

Must be nice to have badass goalies throwing up mad blocks while you fumble around with your 3 bar!




Riddle:

Which is worse, Nick's 2 bar, or Boogie's 3 bar?



Answer:




Nick's 2 bar.





lmao @ nick thinking his 2 bar might not be the worst thing in the foos room.

"Riddle" reminds me of a text I got today from someone, that has played with you recently, who said-

" hey man, I feel your pain- I played with X, and we got put out cause he was sucking on Ross..."

Then I was like- "was he like niiice shottttt Rosssss, all femmy sounding?"

And he said- "no, we got forfeited and I found him in the bathroom stall physically sucking Ross peen!"

Ew.

lol - no kidding!

Jim drops this bomb on you in that other thread:

"Nick without Boogie, 6. Slice without Boogie, 31.
Nick wins the back pack award!"

And you just bow out like Clifford Franklin ducking behind the jukebox in "The Replacements" during the bar brawl scene.


He gave you all the ammo in the world when he played with Kraus last week too. I watched his first match Vs. Ryan and Jim touched the ball maybe 4 times. Not even sure how that's possible, because he got the drop every point after Ryan went 100%, but 4 times. It was like when you take your gf to play foosball, and let her play front. She just holds the rods and watches the ball go back and forth like a tennis match.

Lmfao, right?....

X, just look in the mirror, recant your "rainbow sprinkle" pep talk to yourself, and bow out.

And furthermore- I'll tell you one thing- I may be rated way lower than Scott, but I would never say some scared gay shit like that- ever.

Is this a stab at me shaky? Let me guess you have invested over 10 years of time and money and still haven't won shit so you feel left out. You were correct about one thing if it was a stab, it was a weak attempt!
