'Team Xs struggles continued as they finished XX.X games back in X place with a XX-XX record.'

In Tank's defense, there is not a whole lot of pre-expansion era material to really work with. It's still a good reference guide, though.

Agreed. Where else can you find stuff like this, other than straight from the teams themselves or wikipedia (which constantly uses Tank's site as a source.)? It's a nice resource.

Tank, great work on all of these. I always go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia when I need some information on sports teams, or just want to browse pictures of some of my favorite players. Good job and keep it up! :)

A wealth of information, yes. But I still can't take it seriously.

Tank, you need to seriously proofread your paragraphs and make actual paragraphs out of them. The information is immense, yet it looks like it was written by an 8-year-old. If you want to be taken seriously, at least make it seem like an adult is writting this and not a child.

Secondly, do you honestly have to make a post every time you update a team? I mean, really. Can't you update them all at once and then let us know?

Don't get me wrong -- I know it's a lot of work, but presentation is the key.

Now I do agree with that. I know you've always contended that you type too fast and don't look...but seriously, look. Spell check is your friend!

I do run it through spell check and my errors have gotten less.

It's not all about spellcheck.

What happens if you spell a word wrong but the result is a functioning word? It skips right on over it. Like if you mean to write "as" and it comes out "a"? You need to go through what you write and correct it accordingly.

We're not all grammatical geniouses, but like I say -- the insight of what you write is offset by the atrociousness of your delivery.

If I spell checked every thing it would never be updated its hard keeping up and trying to make sure there is no more mistakes, and in recent years I know there are fewer errors

Just ignore the complainers, Tank - they're the guys that sit jobless in their mother's basement with the only success in their life being picking out your copy and pasting and that time they touched the passed out cheerleader's breast at the party they weren't even invited to when they were 17.

Does anyone else find it amusing that Oak characterized all "the complainers" as sitting their moms' basements in a post defending Tank?

Anyone? Come on! I know I'm not the only one here. :P
