it should be a fun race for the #1 seed this year
i've been in RL "fun" races like this -- where my opponent runs 5 minute miles and is bouncing and stretching and more or less eager for the race to start, and i stand there, feet aching, hungover, complaining about how humid or cold or breezy or sunny it is, concluding "let's get this over".
there is no "race" -- there is only you deciding whether you want one or two golds this season. the tactical interest is when do teams drop out of the Cup and go for a good league standing. my problem is if i am to have any future, i need revenue, and losing anything drives my worthless fans away. i can only stay at this level if i win 18 games and reach the final four in the Cup every season, and, man, those days are all but over.
and when i see the silver dogs getting rid of their oldest (real) player, who is all of 31, i just weep.
