I took this game with hesitation as I was giving up a handicap to a team that looked as if it shouldn't get one - or need one... and it didn't.

Sanguineous Supper Club 1 - 0 Green Rotten Pus Spewers

The comments I made were a gut reaction to the whomping my team got - but in retrospect, I have been able to channel my positivity. I warned my opponent that I would foul the heck out of him, and he gladly said "bring it" so there are no hard feelings over fouls. My opponent, while getting "GTR" as his handicap out-fouled me easily and some might've given up as some point and run away or lay prone, bitched and moaned about this or that... I could've easily. But I didn't... and while my reward from Nuffle was a win and the remainders of a team that needs a REALLY soft recovery game... I am glad for the experience.

My opponent showed no mercy - and some who watch the replay might say he did some unnecessary fouling... but the W/L column says to me that he didn't do enough. I also appreciate the fact that he did not apologize for deaths or injuries of my team. Everyone hates the moaning and complaining about lack of luck blah blah blah - we've heard it all... likewise, I have come to despise someone apologizing for killing my team as they continue to do the same thing that brought about those pixel-deaths. If you are going to be sorry for killing opponents players - concede like a pantywaist.

While I tip my hat to my opponent for his gamesmanship and a raucous game - I will also pat myself on the back again for practicing what I preach in never EVER giving up.

We are here to play - not run away.
We fight and we try - not lay down and die.
