Hey, you wanna piss them off OP? Just tell them that fantasy football is basically D&D for jocks. That usually shuts them up. At least in my experience it has...
151 Pokémon. There are 151 Pokémon. Not 150, as so many seem to claim. 151.DeanoTheGod said:Ah! School! I used to revel in the fact that I could name all the 150 Pokemon, and played fantasy games, and collected warhammer 40k, but still could beat most people on the Rugby Pitch...!

Lol, I stand corrected... Although wasn't Mew just created for the first movie? I don't seem to remember it being in the original game at all unless you had some sort of cheat device, or won some sort of competition!EternalFacepalm said:151 Pokémon. There are 151 Pokémon.

Now, to add emphasis to that: 151.
I think either I or you misunderstood this thread. Its a fantasy football team, so he's the only person invested in it and his friends have their own teams. Or his friends are in with him in the team and help make decisions, inw hich case this is more of an issue for him to work out with his friends (though I couldnt see why they'd really mind).Nouw said:I don't really see a problem here except the way the Commissiner[sub]hehehe heresy ^^[/sub]voiced his objection. I don't think it's a smart idea to name a sports-team when no one else would understand, get or like it in your team. It's a team-sport right? Wouldn't you be annoyed if someone named the team something you have no idea about? I mean he was pretty harsh but in my opinion you should have gone for something the team agreed with.
Aaah I seem to have completely misunderstood the thread. Can someone explain what a fantasy football team is?emeraldrafael said:I think either I or you misunderstood this thread.

basically its like if you just made a team out of your favorite players. So you could have someone (continuing from the Football theme) from the Bengals and Steelers on the same team despite them playing on different teams in real life.Nouw said:...

tell him you have the right to name your team what you want. If he has a problem with it just remind him that you can always pull out of his league and submit a formal complant to his superior, that usually shuts up the jocksD.W.M.A Swag Meister said:i have a peculiar prediciment involving my fantasy football team. as stated im in a fantasy football leauge with my friends who are into sports and i, the only one being into anime decided to name my team something anime related. the commissiner told me i had to change it beacuse no one else gave a shit about anime in this leauge.
has anyone here ever dealt with the whole jocks vs nerds bullshit? is anyone here both into sports and nerd culture?
Um no, your pretty much wrong on all of that. foot ball, basketball and baseball are the popular sports for sure with the highest prestige, so of course its gonna attract bros they are the most popular sports in the U.S. lacrosse is the least known and it barely gets enough to even have a playable team.Jim Sturtridge said:nerd/geek vs jock shit isn't really a big thing. the bigger divide is among the "Jock Clique" where each individual sport is either preppy/"Bro" aka douche bag sports (Football,baseball,basketball, lacrosse)
the otherwise less stuck up but still mildly preppy sports(That maintain some mild respect for work)- Soccer,wrestling,and possibly track.
The more underground sports- Cross country,swimming, tennis.
Each sport has pros and cons but most of the Preppy sports have the highest concentration of assholes but isn't limited to any of the "cliques" i myself do the underground sports.
i'm also on this website, so i don't get the "geek" crap
It's hard to explain but it just doesn't fit the "nerdy" kind of definition and perspective; if that makes any sense.LilithSlave said:Really? Not what I'm used to hearing.InfectedStar said:I really wouldn't consider anime to be "nerdy".
How so?
