LeagueStory x LeagueTalk: Redux

Ohhhhh boy. Ohhhhhhhhhhh God. I don’t even know what to say right now. Should I be upset that the Pod thinks my team is bad? Should I laugh at them for not realizing Breece Hall has been in the top 20 RBs for the past few weeks and is only going up from there? Should I remind you I’ve done this before? Should I give you a history lesson? What should I do?

I guess I will say that I’m glad I didn’t join the Pod last night, if only so that I could come in here again and be right about stuff (which I love). We’ll start with the main two points that were asked for by our gracious hosts.

Biggest Margins of Victory:

As you can see, Brad’s win last week over Abie is in the ballpark of the highest in LeagueStory, but definitely not the top spot. However, it is another entry in the “Margins that are Higher than the Loser’s Score” list, which might have to be updated after 2021…

Highest Scores:

Once again, it looks like we’re all doin a little too much drinkin & smokin to remember the stats. Definitely impressive though for Tommy to crack the Top 20 in his second year in The League when it took me until last year. I wouldn’t be surprised if Ryan and Brad made their way up there this year as well, not so sure about Abie as of now 😦 The margins in green are also included in the highest margins table you get the idea.

Lastly, about “history repeating itself”, Mr. Vignali was technically correct but maybe used a bit of framing to make the narrative sound better. While he DID give Brent his first losses of 2021 and 2020, there’s a little more to it… In 2020, he actually went up against The Future Champ in Week 2 and LOST before coming back around in Week *7* and knocking him down just slightly. In 2021, the first loss for Brent came in Week 3, which also saw the first loss for the also previously undefeated HOCKYPRO69…also. This just goes to show that while the letter of the statement (Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas) was true, the spirit of the statement (Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Thurgood Marshall, God) tells a different story. What does this mean for Week 5 2022? Who the hell knows…
