It really amazes me, JG, how you STILL - after all of this discussion - figure that a raw points lead represents your real lead.

It also amazes me how you lump yourself in there with JL, as if your relatively small difference in raw points was indicitive of the fact that you two were actually close in the standings.

Meanwhile, for all your bragging and bluster about how far ahead of me you are, I've chopped almost 200 points off your lead since July 25th and only had to use up five of the 25 starts in hand that I had on 7/25 to do so.

That means that I'm gaining ground in offense - which is as it should be, since the FPPG average of my offensive players is considerably higher than yours.

I've also gained ground at a faster pace than I expected to....

Back on 7/25 I was 500 points behind with 25 starts in hand.

So, all other things being equal, I needed to make up 20 points per start to catch you.

Now, I'm about 309 points behind with 20 starts in hand.

So, all other things being equal, I now need to average about 15.5 FPs per start to catch up.
