Thoroughly Besmirched, Humiliated by Communist Dominance, Sherdog Conservatives Cry "Foul!"

PGPBVPAV2QI6TNVNTT6WFW5QVA.jpg


Sometimes life imitates art, and other times politically tinged fantasy sports imitates Republican bellyaching.

Enter the Sherdog War Room Fantasy Football League (or the SWRFFL as fans call it).

After ten weeks of being roundly bested and embarrassed by the Communist Division, it appears that the Conservatives have had enough. Following the conclusion of yet another week in which the Communist Division has proven the gold standard of the fantasy football world, the Conservatives have launched a grassroots campaign of unfounded fraud allegations to attempt to reverse two recent Communist wins.

This past week, The Proletarians and the Sick Odors of the Communist Division defeated The Real Americans and the Punt Destroyers of the Liberal Division. This capped another week of Communist dominance in what spectators are calling "The Red Wave."

To date, the Communists retain not only the best division record in the league and a whopping 372 more points scored than the hapless Conservatives: they now host 2 of the league's top 3 teams in overall standings. That includes the league's dominant record leader the KPT018's led by famed manager @kpt018. Surely, what KPT018 lacks in team name creativity, he makes up for in fantasy football prowess.

Frustrated by their impotence, Conservative team managers @MMAisGod and @Broke Lester have begun trying to lobby fellow conservative and notoriously corrupt league commissioner @HockeyBjj to overturn the week's results based on unfounded allegations of fraud between The Proletarians and the Sick Odors.

The allegations stem from a Week 10 trade between the two communist comrades in which quarterback Josh Allen was swapped for wide receiver Amari Cooper. With each communist manager shrewdly realizing their team's needs, the trade resulted in definitive communist wins. Following the wins, The Proletarians and Sick Odors reevaluated their rosters and, feeling that their teams now had new lineups needs, swapped back the players. This innocuous act - a mutually beneficial trade following a previous mutually beneficial trade - was immediately criticized by the conservatives and met with fiery, weepy condemnation.

Slandered Communist Division owners Trotsky is quoted as saying, via his Twitter account, "The WHINY conservatives can never beat the communists FAIRLY, so they have to resort to these unprecedented and dangerous accusations of foul play. These sorts of allegations taint and disrupt years of norms and traditions in the fantasy football process. Sad!"

To the credit of the Liberal Division, their integrity still intact, the two affected Liberal Division owners, @Highmanproblems and @CubicleGangster, have been reticent in taking up the conservatives' offer to reverse the results. Nevertheless, the conservatives continue trying to forge an unholy alliance toward altering league results and staging a right-wing coup fitting only of orange windbags with orangutan titties.

Stay tuned for further news on this salacious development.

did anyone read this or what lol
 
Got to feel hella cool tonight. We locked down a venue for the first season of the show I'm working on and I got wined and dined for free. It's a Thai place and holy fuck the Seared Duck drunken noodles and their curry was amazing. Trying to lock down a director I respect has been a fucking pain though. One of the reasons I wish I lived in Los Angeles.

I'm out and about. Please tell me that's the "weather boy" video.
 
Saw an interesting bit on the decline of poll data today, basically blaming the fact that response rates have reached such a low percentage that even a slight bias in the response rates of different groups can have a large impact on the data.
Response rates now being just over 1%, compared to 80-90% response rates historically.

Like. I found it pretty infuriating to hear how that story had been manipulated to cast her in a bad light. Her burns were terrible and their original request was only to recover the cost of medical bills. That situation was very enlightening and made me a lot more wary of such anecdotes also.

Yeah, that was an awful, awful framing. Every now and then someone still brings it up as an example of a frivolous lawsuit.

people are really quick to mock.

Is that the whole story? I remember the McDonald's hot coffee incident being the butt of a joke for a long time until I found out what really happened.

the issue with McDonald's was that it didn't appropriately inform the purchaser of the extent to how hot that coffee was.

There is a difference between hot coffee and scalding, which how hot a black coffee was served. Having been burned by a McDonald's hot coffee while working there as a teen, it was insane, worse than getting burned by the hot oil. Can't imagine having it completely spill all over my thighs and other sensitive areas like the plaintiff. Imo fair lawsuit.

Even if the pancake was described to her thinner in the prep than it ultimately ended up being, it's not as though the size of the pancake was hidden to her upon seeing it; she had the opportunity to then withdraw.

Unless it's something like where she was told there would be medical staff available on site or provided some sort of assurance and that assurance wasn't followed through on, I don't really see the reason for settling other than just being really risk adverse. But yeah, ultimately you have to look at the filings to see what the go was with liability, on the face of it, sounds stupid.

Thanks. There are two threads with dozens of them. Occasionally, I go back and read some of them. I got asked by a few guys in the OT to write some, I think it was revolver that finally talked me into it. And I just started cranking them out. All true, btw-with some literary flare
