<font color='black' size='2' face='arial'>Th<font color="black" face="arial" size="2">at's why I floated the idea that Rich's score would be infinite. If you have no guys who are rated, then you score really high in this golf-like world where a lower score is a good thing.<br>
<br>
But, more importantly, who cares whether the theory is valid. The main object is to talk trash, and it's always good to go low if you can. The most obvious thing that I see here is that this works pretty much the opposite of penis size. Small = good; big = bad. So, I'm thinking one could say something like, "Hey WInick, I'm glad you finally found a place where less is more." That's not any good, of course. But you get the idea. Fire away.<br>
<br>
As for me, I'm comfortable with being one of the big guys in the league, and I always have been.<br>

<div>Perhaps this is my youthful ignorance speaking, but I'm confused by some of the math supporting these boasts. By this system, if Owner A has a player on the list who is rated at #50, and Owner B has 2 players rated 25 and 26 (giving them a score of 51), then technically Owner A has the more braggadocious score, despite the fact Owner B has more players in the Top 100 both of who are rated higher than Owner A's only player on the list.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I know it's just bragging rights, I'm just stirring up discussion and was curious if your boasting went so far as to create a formula to account for the number of players on the list, not just the sum of their ranks.<br>
