Tackling My Sports Addiction and Playing the NameGame
by D.R. Wolfe
PART ONE
Before I teach you how to play the NameGame I’ll tell you a little about the way I over came an unhealthy sports addiction, and substituted the NameGame for my love for competition and statistics.
Despite my visual impairment, as a young boy I was drawn to baseball. I couldn’t play the game because I couldn’t see the moving ball, although I did wrestle and run track in high school.
It was the statistics that came on the back of every baseball card that caught my attention. It drew me like a kid to cotton candy. And I suspect there were millions of other kids like me. So I started playing this game, sorting the teams and comparing the statistics on the back of each cards. Then I would use the scoring system we used in track and field and figure out the score for each team.
As I grew older, around twelve or thirteen , I became interested in basketball. hockey and football and started reading the sports section every day. It wasn’t the bullshit that was in every article that interested me, but it was the box scores that fascinated me most. And that’s probably why I became pretty good in mathematics.
However, what may have been a healthy interest in the game became an every day obsession, even though there was no Internet at the time, Despite my failing vision My need to gather information about sports began interfering with the other interactive things I should have been doing with my life, like making more friends, playing piano and guitar or reading a book. Rather than gathering useful information, I was spending much of my time either talking about or watching sports. And even when I could no longer see the television, even from close up, I continued to glue my eye balls to the TV screen for another decade, pretending to watch the game.
But luckily the sports world provided me with more than enough good reasons to dislike sports, but it took several decades to kicked in.
What happened first was that I began to notice that the sports talk morons, the broadcasters, the owners and in some cases, even the players were really sick people and didn’t give a crap about the fans, despite what they said.
And now, the NHL is forcing a Russian player to wear one of these “Fag Flags” on his uniform, even though he’s not gay himself and his religion doesn’t approve of homosexual behavior. So despite living in America since he was thirteen, the NHL thinks he should either wear this queer symbol or go back to Russia and die in the conflict with Ukraine.
It’s clear all the professional sports leagues, and most colleges, think sports should not only be about competition but also about being politically correct.
The announcers and sports talk people always talk about the home team, but I noticed hardly ever was a player from the city where they played. And when a home town kid returned home to play for the home town team, they would eventually take off in a few years for better money. So screw the home town team! There is no real loyalty for the city where they play, although they always expect the fans to be loyal to the home team.
If you’re a sports fan you probably know about this, but In 1984 there was this amazing home run race between two players, Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa. When it happened There was rumors that they were using steroids, but nothing was conclusive. So most fans believed these were clean record setting home runs.
But two decades later, we learned it was all a big fraud and they were using human growth hormones. McGuire, Sosa, and later Barry Bonds all admitted to using steroids to set their home run records.
Then there was this amazing cyclist named Lance Armstrong, who dated musical great, Sheryl Crow. Armstrong was able to substantially beat every other cyclist in the world for over a decade. Since he was American we Americans put on our blinders and cheered, ignoring the allegations by other cyclists, including some Americans. The other cyclist claimed Armstrong was using steroids, but he denied everything, and Disney’s ESPN and the loyal fans believed him.
In fact, Armstrong hired these dirty lawyers with his fraudulent winnings and his promotion money from the U.S. Postal Service to use lawfare to destroy the lives of several of his sharpest critics.
About ten years later while Armstrong was recovering from testicular cancer he admitted on national television to Harvey Weinstein’s good friend and enabler, Oprah Windfrey, it was all true and that he had lied about cheating.
Another big contention for fans was the lack of a playoff system. Every other sport had a playoff system that allowed the winner to be determined on the field, except college football. It all came down to the wealthy boosters who felt they would lose their opportunity to be wined and dined during the bowl celebrations if they allowed a playoff system to take over determining the champion.
Sometimes one of the bowl games matched up the two top ranked teams, but it was rare, which meant the coaches, broadcasters and writers picked the champion. Fans screamed bloody murder, demanding that the champion be determined on the field, screw the wealthy boosters. But apparently these millionaire and billionaire boosters didn’t give a crap, so the bowls continued and the debate raged on for several decades.
But consider this, the colleges and universities are providing a free training ground to the NFL and the NBA at the expense of the students, since there is no minor league in football or basketball. The colleges and universities are receiving absolutely nothing from these professional leagues and passing the costs of training their future athletes along to the students. So perhaps the NFL and the NBA should pay all outstanding student loans, that is until America creates an online four-year university that is free to everyone (with virtual football and virtual basketball teams and bare-naked virtual cheerleaders, and absolutely no fraternities or sororities anywhere).
In the 1990’s NFL owner Dan Snider stated emphatically that not in a million years would he ever change the name of the Washington Redskins franchise, even though every indigenous person on earth felt the nickname was extremely racists. African-American players in Washington were forced to wear this racist name on their uniforms, if they wanted to play ball, rather than sit out for a whole year.
But it didn’t matter. This Jewish billionaire and most of the politicians from Washington D.C. simply didn’t care that the nickname was offensive to Native people and racial minorities.
The fact is that the owners don’t give a crap that this violent game injures most of the players for life, including Aaron Hernandez, who hung himself in prison. Why our school districts would allow a violent, sexually exploitive game such as this to be played by kids makes no sense, where young pretty girls with large breast are subjugated to the side lines as cheerleaders, while the boys perform as gladiators for the adults, bashing out their brains and bodies.
And that’s the point. The owners, the broadcasters and players simply don’t care about the fans, as much as they pretend. They want our money and time, and they’re willing to do or say anything to make this happen. but deep down they just don’t give a crap what we fans think, as long as they get their bling. So why should we, the loyal fans, give a crap about any of them!
The truth is that watching organized sports, be it college or professional, has no real effect over your life. And you as a fan have no control over the game, as much as we fans would like to believe. Besides, today not only can the owners and league chip the ball and control its bounce and flight, agitate the players with small shocks or itches, and manipulate the outcome of every game, it’s no longer necessary to bribe or blackmail the officials. And it all can be done without the fans ever knowing.
So worshiping a team is dumb, unless your kid or a friend is playing. You have no control over anything the players or coaches do, and it can really screw up your mood. We’re happy when our team wins, but we’re miserable when they lose. So why not avoid all that emotional crap and live a life without sports.
Besides, I’ll bet your partner would appreciate it if you came home one day and said “Honey, I’m going to give up all sports!”
I did it, so can you. And I’ll tell you how.
PART TWO
Introduction
By now, knowing how impatient sports fans are, you’re probably asking how do you play the NameGame? Before I teach you to play the game, I’ll explain a few important concepts behind the game.
First, it’s mostly about adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing numbers. And using simple mathematics and sorting numerically and alphabetically. And when you play It, it will automatically build your memory skills and your ability to compute quickly, which will come in handy. And if you love statistics and creating lists, and sticking it to the corporate masters, you’ll love the NameGame!
The good news is that you don’t have to stare at a computer screen to play, like most video games. But you do have to use your brain, which may help prevent dementia. As the computing becomes easier, you may find it is relaxing too to play, like most computer games. Especially, if you like simple math puzzles that rank your results.
As a blind person, I use an abacus for most of the math, and it also serves as an active score board with running scores for each team, But a calculator or scratch paper will work just as well.
I predict if you play through four or five seasons of the game it will become addictive, but in a healthy way. For example,you can only play for about an hour or so before the brain begins to give out, just like the body.
First you don’t need a computer because you can play this with index cards, a notebook or scratch paper. Myself, I prefer a computer because first, every statistic is kept as the name of a folder, and this way the computer sorts the folders automatically. Which is easier than sorting index cards or using scratch paper. And best of all, it keeps me organized.
The important thing is not to cheat. Sure, it’s easy to cheat for your favorite team, and who’s going to tell or complain? You are the President of the League, and you make all the rules, no matter how bias they may be. You can even imagine your players with symbols, slogans, or rainbow flags on their uniforms, if that’s what you want. Try drawing or imagining each teams mascots.
Many times through many different versions of the NameGame I would give my favorite teams a slight advantage. And I thought it would be better to play if I could find players with names that would score a lot of points. But there’s only a limited number of points available in each game to spread around. So it you want to make it fun for a long time, don’t cheat. Unless you really want to cheat. I promise I won’t tell.
And lastly, decide all your rules before you start a season and pledge to never significantly change the rules in the middle of the season. Maybe play a practice season. Because your subconscious will know, and consider this cheating, and soon shut down your interest in the game.
Setting up teams:
Before telling you how I play the NameGame an hour or two per day, I’ll suggest how you can choose teams and tell you how I set up my league.
Let me say this first, everything I am suggesting is completely optional. There are only the rules you make. In fact, people may never know what you’re doing, working away on some kind of mathematics. They will admire your diligence, working away on a math problem, while drinking a beer, or even better, smoking a joint.
My league consists of 48 teams. 32 or 64 would probably work better, as far as scheduling goes. And there are no rain outs or injuries, and It’s all scored the same way, regardless of one’s gender,, sexual orientation, or clothing preference. .
When I created the NameGame, I didn’t want to use the names of cities or universities as teams for my league. So I use the 48 contiguous states. which is easier to remember, and no greedy university lawyer or city attorney can claim copyright infringement.
My league consists of an east and west region, with three districts, and six conferences in each region. This means every district has eight teams, and every conference has four teams. which equals twelve conferences, six districts, and two regions with 48 total teams
If you’re using a computer, first create a folder for all twelve conferences. Note the order below. Then create four folders for each teams inside each conference folder.
EAST REGION
EASTERN DISTRICT
FAR EAST CONFERENCE
Maine
New Hampshire
Rhode Island
Vermont
NORTHEAST CONFERENCE
Connecticut
New Jersey
New York
Pennsylvania
EAST CENTRAL DISTRICT
MID AMERICAN CONFERENCE
Kentucky
Ohio
Tennessee
West Virginia
MID ATLANTIC CONFERENCE
DC (had to throw out Massachusetts)
Delaware
Maryland
Virginia
SOUTHERN DISTRICT
SOUTHEAST CONFERENCE
Florida
Georgia
North Carolina
South Carolina
DEEP SOUTH CONFERENCE
Alabama
Arkansas
Louisiana
Mississippi
WEST REGION
NORTHERN DISTRICT
FAR NORTH CONFERENCE
Illinois
Indiana
Michigan
Wisconsin
MID NORTH CONFERENCE
Minnesota
North Dakota
South Dakota
Utah
WEST CENTRAL DISTRICT
MID WEST CONFERENCE
Iowa
Kansas
Missouri
Nebraska
NORTHWEST CONFERENCE
Colorado
Idaho
Montana
Wyoming
WESTERN DISTRICT
SOUTHWEST CONFERENCE
Arizona
New Mexico
Oklahoma
Texas
FAR WEST CONFERENCE
California
Nevada
Oregon
Washington
Then inside each team folder there are eight separate folders. Using Maine as an example, since it’s listed first, here’s how this folder might look:
1st
2nd
3rd
4th
5th
6th
7th
Maine Players
I’ll explain a little later the first seven event folders. But inside the last folder are the the folders with the names of the seven players who play for that team. Here’s an example of how one player’s folder might look:
Allen, Mitchell Maine 7y
And if Allen should win the upper event he would get ten points, plus a blue ribbon. There’s no extra points for winning a blue ribbon, but it’s one more statistic to track a player’s success. Here’s how the folder might look:
10-1 Allen, Mitchell Maine 7y
and if Allen gets 17 more points and another blue ribbon, the folder might look like this:
27-2 Allen, Mitchell Maine 7y
You notice, the total points scored is listed first, then the blue ribbons, then the player’s name, then the name of the team, and finally, the year the player is in. In my game, “7y” means that Allen’s in the last year of his career.
The Schedule:
It takes me about a month or two to play an entire season, depending on what else I’m doing and how interested I am.
You could change this, but in my version there are no home or away games, which means every game is played on a neutral field. And every match involves four teams.
First, creating the master game folder begins by copying team player folder into each of the seven event folders. Then remove the year listed for each player, so now only the name and the team remains. Then for each of the first three events place the appropriate number at the beginning of each folder. for example under the 1st event folder you might find:
2 Meyer, CJ Florida
3 Morgan, Joe Florida
4 Cottingham, Rick Florida
4 Random, Mary Florida
6 Hamm, Wiilie Florida
8 Totteringly, MaryJane Florida
9 York, Christina Florida
In the forth event, the first name is placed in front of the last name. In the fifth the folder is left alone since the last names are already sorted. In the 6th and 7th event, simply repeat the 4th and 5th events, except spell the name backwards.
When you’re done setting up the event folders, the year of the player should only be listed in the master team players folder and not in any of the event folders. The next season when you go to copy the 01 entire master team folder into the 02 master team folder, you only have to increment the year for each player once, along with copying in the rookie player’s name from the raw name folder, and deleting the player with 7y. Then you only need to copy the rookie player’s folder into each event folder and record the correct information for each event. Finally, delete the player who is listed as “being the 7y player. for each event. When your finished, there should still be seven players in each event folder.
The game is actually played when the four master folders for each team selected to play a match are copied into the game folder. If every event folder is accurately set up, and that’s not easy, the four master team folders will automatically sort the names. It’s only a matter of adding up the points.
the game folders are labeled with the week first, then the number of the game. For example, the first game of the first week would be called “1.01”.the next game would be “1.02”.
The important thing is to create a recorded history of all games and most statistics, which will keep your interest if you enjoy tracking trends and following numbers.
The scheduling of games in my case is created using a random number generator on the computer that sounds like dice being rolled, but a single dice would work just as well.
The first folder is labeled “01” and inside this folder is the first season beginning with “01 All Games” along with the twelve conferences listed below (see above there is other folders called “01 Raw Names” and “01 Rankings”. Within the first folder, the game folder, is seven weeks, labeled W1 through W7. You could add the w8 or w9 week if you wanted to play an all-pho game with the best players from each conference, but personally I like to exclusively keep players on their own teams. A sort of loyalty you don’t get in what they call “real sports”.
the first folder is labeled “1.0 Computer Rankings,” which lists each team according to their total points. The second folder is labeled “1.0 Player Points” which is all 336 players in order of total points scored. The third folder is labeled “1.0 Results” which is the results of all twelve matches that week.
The next twelve folders are the results of each match which I described above, labeled “1.01 through 1.12”.
The first week of the season begins with randomly selecting two teams from the east region and two teams from the west region. And I never select two teams from the same conference. This makes the first two weeks as random as possible, before conference play begins.
So you begin in the east and roll the dice. Since there are six conferences I number each conference. Then I roll the dice again, selecting the team one through four. If five or six is rolled , or created by the random number generator, I roll again. And if the conference has already been selected for that week, I roll until I get a number I can use. Then I repeat this process for the two teams in the west. After twelve matches are scheduled and all 48 teams have been used, i go to the second week of the schedule, labeled “W2”.
The second week of the season involves only teams from the same conference competing against each other. For example, first I select four teams from the east that will compete, and then four teams from the west. Again, I would make sure that teams in the same conference would not play each other until the conference championship, the third week of the season. Sometimes I have to move teams around, but I try to make sure the schedule is as competitive as possible. And even if a team loses every match during the first three weeks, they can still advance to the regionals, although it’s unlikely. But it keeps alive for each team.
As I said, in the third week I hold the twelve conference championships. Again, rotating between the east and the west, each conference would hold its championship and in the forth week the first and third place team in each conference would play the second and forth place team in the other conference in the same district. Then in the 5th week the best two teams during the third week from each conference, unless they were beaten during the forth week by one of the third place teams. And sometimes during the forth week the forth place team would rise up and beat the second place team in the same conference. It’s rare but not impossible.
The winners of the district finals, held the fifth week, would advance to the Regionals Championship. The consolation finals are also held during the fifth week, the teams are selected among the four teams that did not make the district finals.
To clarify, the forth week is a back door way a third place team, and even a forth place team, could advance to the district championship . So one conference could have three teams in the District Championship. Based on my own experience, this back door way of getting into the district championship happens about 25% of the time.
This ends the regular season with five games played in five weeks. Every team plays an equal number of games so you can compare the statistics of players and teams year to year.
As I mentioned, the 6th week is the regionals. And this is when the rubber meets the road, since it’s more difficult to move on to the championship, since there are two rounds.
During the sixth week, the best two teams in each region, based on their district scores, receive a bye, and the other four teams in each region play against each other.
Then the best two teams advance to the second round and then play the two teams that received a bye during the first round. Then the best two teams in each region move on to the championship, which is held during the 7th week.
After entering all the final statistics for the season, I’m ready to start over and hold the draft for the next season, which is a random selection process, as I’ll explain.
The Player:
In the NameGame all players have value and they keep their value throughout their seven year career. There’s no chance of injury or suspension so the players can do what ever the hell they want in their free time, and I would imagine many of them do.
Each player has value based on their name. Both alphabetically and numerically. I consider the first three events, which are based on the numeric value, to be field events since there’s more ties. And the last four events, which are based on the alphabetic value, are the track events since there are far less ties.
The first event is based on the number of letters in the first name. Under the folder labeled “1st” it might look like this:
2 Green, Al Georgia 2y
Or another folder under 1st might look like this:
8 Simon, Jennifer Connecticut 4y
Then all twenty-eight players (seven players from all four teams) are listed in numeric order. The top seven and last seven players are awarded points based on where they finish. In other words, in the first event there is actually an upper event and a lower event.
In summary, the player with the shortest first name, the lowest value, gets ten points, and the player with the longest first name also gets ten points. These points are entered into the team players folder, not the event folder.
Subsequently the next player at each end gets eight points, then six points, then four, three two and finally the seventh player gets one point. So if there are no ties, fourteen players would score sixty-eight points, thirty-four points at the top and thirty-four points at the bottom.
An example of this scoring is:
1st place worth ten points goes to Abby, second place worth eight points goes to Al, third place worth six points goes to Beth, forth place worth four points goes to Brent, fifth place worth three points goes to Cam, sixth place worth two points goes to Daniel, and seventh place worth one point goes to Devin.
Here’s an example of the lower division of the 1st event:
1st place goes to William, second place goes to Toni, third place goes to Robyn, etc.
If you’re using a computer, the computer will automatically sort the events. That is, if each player is a separate folder.
After entering the individual player’s points into the team player folder, if you want, add up the total points for that event for each team, and temporarily enter that number onto the abacus for a running score of the match. Or if you want a permanent record of each event, enter the number into the computer or in your notebook. Or sometimes, you may want to wait until the game is over, then add up the player scores, and enter the final score in front of the team player folder. For example the Far West Conference might look like this:
142 California players
135 Oregon players
119 Nevada players
89 Washington players
California 142, Oregon 135, Nevada 119, Washington 89
Ties:
In the event folder, if there are any ties, as there always are, the total potential points, as if they were slightly separated, are added together and divided by the number of players who are tied. So if there’s a three way tie for first place they would each get eight points(10+8+6/3=8). Any remainder is dropped. In my NameGame there are no fractions.
If there’s a four way tie for last place, or sixth place, or even fifth place, then each player would get one point, because that’s the minimum points awarded. As I said, points are always a whole number, to keep it simpler.
Other Events:
In the second event the last names are counted up and, just like the first event, are ranked in order and awarded points based on where they finish.
In the third event, the first and last names are added together and scored the same way but usually with less ties.
The last four events are based on the name, alphabetically. For example, the forth event uses the first name; the fifth event is based on the last name; the sixth event is based on the first name backwards; and the seventh event is the last name in reverse.
Unusual Names:
I should mention that first names that are two letters are used as a single word. In other words, C.J. would be written as CJ, and would follow Caesar and Cindy, even though C.J. would normally be listed first.
Names with two first names or two last names means I get to choose which is better, although first names such as Mary Jane or Betty Sue may be combined to make only one name.
Also in my game spaces and punctuation are not counted. For example, van Halen would be written and counted as “vanHalen=8” And St. James is written and counted as “StJames=7.” Of course you could count every character and space used, then van Halen would be worth 9 points instead of 8, and St. James would be worth 10 points instead of 7.
Scoring:
As I mentioned earlier, there are fourteen scoring opportunities in every match up, although there are only seven events listed. This means a team could beat another team during the first week, and lose in the championship. This is because who the other two teams does matter. Every time a different team plays the game it will change the dynamics, simply because each team will be better or worse in different events. So unless all four teams and all seven players are exactly the same the scores will change, making it impossible to predict how the game will turn out. This is why the game is so interesting, it’s both predictable, and unpredictable.
Getting the Names:
The list of names used in the NameGame must be random. In other words any source of name lists where the names are listed alphabetically, like the old style phone books, won’t work.
Each season, except the first season that requires 336 names, you need 48 new names and taking the first 48 names from any alphabetical list may stop at the names beginning with B or C, and that’ won’t work, because teams wouldn’t get a random selection of players.
I tried hundreds of lists in dozens of variations, and I finally found a list of books from a site exclusively provided to the Blind and reading impaired through the Library of Congress which works. Unfortunately, it’s not available to the general public. but this idea will work on other sites, such as the sports section, a news magazine, or a best seller lists. Just pick one and stick with it. It doesn’t matter what source you use, just don’t change.
Start with the top of the page and start writing down every name you come across, whether it’s an author, or character, or a politician or celebrity, or in my case, a reader. You will have to make rules about how you count names and spaces. For example, is Bobby Joe or Billy Bob one name or two. And last names that have a space and start with van or de, you will have to decide whether or not to count the spaces. Use what rules you like, just stick to the rules you make.
During the second season, I make my list of forty-eight names in a word processing file, in the order I found the names. Then I begin putting them into a folder called “02 Raw Names”, and begin sorting the players into their appropriate teams. I have a ordered selection system that selects teams in a certain order, such as the team list above. And this order never changes season to season.
So under the NameGame folder there is a folder called “01” for the first season. and under the 01 folder, I create a “01 Raw Names” folder . , the “01 Raw Names folder has 336 names, seven names for 48 teams. In subsequent years, the “02 Raw Names” folder has only 48 names, one for each team.
Along with each name, there is the years they play. For example, in the 02 Raw Names folder all the names will have the years 02-08 listed. In 01 Raw Names this is more complicated since you have to select seven names for each of the 48 team. I suggest you handle it like a draft, going round by round. For example, the players selected first round would be 01-01, or you could do it in reverse and make the players selected in the first round, 01-07. But decide this before you get your names, to insure no bias toward a particular team.
This information is entered into the “01 Raw Names” folder. Then each player folder is copied into the master team folder, under it’s appropriate conference folder. Then the year is changed to “1y”. This isn’t true the first year since all seven players have to be selected.
RECORDS:
Each year along with the top scorer I have an All-Pho Team that consists of the top seven scorers in the league. But you could also have a second all-pho team, or an all-pho team for each conference. But you may find keeping to many records takes the fun out of the game. So I would suggest only keeping the most critical records.
The cool thing about the NameGame is that you can always go back and make more record, and replay match ups . or you can have match ups of champions from different decades compete. Or you could have all-time all-pho teams from each team compete against each other every ten years.
I also have a Rookie of the Year, a Best Sixth Player award and a League MVP.
Along with the top four teams winning trophies by advancing to the championship, I also keep track of Most and least Points in both a game and a Season, for both players and teams.
I give out metals to every player that makes it into the championship round, then I give gold metals to the seven players who win the championship.
I have a master list of Raw Names that includes the names selected in each new season. Before accepting a name onto my master list, I always check the master Raw Names Folder to make sure the name hasn’t been previously used.
I also keep a list of individual scoring in a folder called “Total Player Scoring” for every team, so I can keep track of the best all-time point and blue ribbon scorers for the league as well as each team.
My master folder under the NameGame folder looks like this:
01
02
03
All Raw Names
All-Time Blue Ribbons
All-Time Point Scorers
Records
Total Team Scoring
Playing the Game
You can skip this section, but to clarify this again, , after making the schedule, in the first match copy the master folder for each team into the game folder. Once all four teams have been copied into the game folder, event by event, enter the points for each player into the team folder, under that player’s name. when you’ve gone through all seven events, add up the team scores and enter the score into the team folder, create a new folder with the scoring for that match.
After playing a match, here’s an example of how a typical match folder from the 1st week of the season might look, stored in the 1.01 folder under the W1 (week one) folder of the 01 All Games folder:
1st
2nd
3rd
4th
5th
6th
7th
68 Alabama Players
79 Colorado players
92 Pennsylvania Players
112 Montana players
Montana 112, Pennsylvania 92,Colorado 79, Alabama 68
At the end of each match I transfer the folder with the team results into the team folder, and add at the beginning of each folder W1 through W7, indicating which week the game was played.
Here’s an example of a master team folder after a season has been completed:
1st
2nd
3rd
4th
5th
6th
7th
541 15-0-0 Nevada players
Nevada players
W1 97 3-0-0 Nevada players
W2 123 3-0-0 Nevada players
W3 121 3-0-0 Nevada players
W4 105 3-0-0 Nevada players
W5 95 3-0-0 Nevada players
W6-2r 79 3-0-0 Nevada players
W7 89 3-0-0 Nevada players
As you may have noticed there is a total points folder which includes the total points as well as the wins, losses and ties for Nevada’s regular season. and inside this folder is a list of each player’s total points and blue ribbons for the season. Once you have these statistics for each team and each player you can create a running list every week for the top scorers and the top teams in the conference, the region, and the league and keep them in the games folder for that week.
(Note: In this diagram above, can you tell Nevada was undefeated in all of it’s regular season matches, including receiving a by in the first round of the regionals and winning the second round, as well as the championship.)
hopefully, I have given you enough information here to get you started playing the NameGame, and I haven’t totally confused you. But how you organize your league and score your matches is totally up to you, so don’t worry to much about using my method. But you should feel good that you’re not contributing to the wealth of people who probably don’t deserve it, and even better, you’re overcoming your sports addiction.
Just so you know how sick these sports people are and how far they’ll go to manipulate the game and get the bling, and I’m not just talking about the players, I’ll tell you what they did to my NameGame folder. In my game, Every state isn’t capitalized, and I do this intentionally because of how my screen access speech program works. In edit mode, it speaks the first letter of a word if it’s capitalized a little louder than normal. I use this feature so that I can quickly tell if the word is a team or a player. But apparently some sadistic manipulator is manipulating my computer in all sorts of ways. And it appears they are from Massachusetts because every time I type in the word massachusetts with a small m the word is automatically capitalized when I hit save. And no matter how many times I change it back to a small m, the computer changes it back to a capitol “M”.
It doesn’t change the outcome of the game, but it shows how arrogant these people from the Deep State, and apparently Massachusetts, truly are and how concerned they are about what I’m writing. Or maybe, it’s about not losing money.
In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if these malicious hackers were good friends of Harvard Professor and America’s dirtiest lawyer, Alan Douche-o-witz, who once represented his good friend, prolific pedophile Jeff Epstein.
Although Douche now denies this, he once said he first met Epstein at a party thrown by one of the billionaire Rothchilds, who was apparently providing party favors for their guests.
Julie K. Brown, a reporter formally with the Miami Harold and author of the excellent book “Perversion of Justice”, wrote that sworn statements from two of Epstein’s victims said Douche-o-witz was one of these wealthy pedophiles from Massachusetts who raped them several times during these orgies on Pedophile Island and at his mansion in New York. One of the girls now denies it ever happen, but do you believe her now or when she gave her deposition. I suspect a large amount of money changed hands to cause her to change her story.
AIPAC’s favorite lawyer, the Harvard lawyer, Alan Douche-o-witz, wrote a book called “The Blame Game” in which he attacks poor people for suing these reckless corporations who negligently or intentionally do harm. In his book he calls any victim who would seek damages from any corporations or institution, or any wealthy person, “exploiters of the legal system.”
Imagine that, a Jewish Harvard professor from Massachusetts who rapes children calling poor victims who sue for damages exploiters of the rich!
But Massachusetts is also one of the extremely fascist left-wing states who proudly allows their doctors to sterilize and mutilate gender confused children, for profit. And we know now, once a person undergoes this surgery the young victims of Dr. Frankenstein are forced to continue taking gender bending drugs for the rest of their life to maintain the charade, at a cost of over a million dollars per person.
Massachusetts is also the home of ESPn, one of the sleaziest sports talk networks ever. So we shouldn’t be surprised by all this sickness coming out of Massachusetts. It’s apparently what Disney and Harvard stands for.
As far as my own NameGame goes, I changed the Massachusetts team to DC since it’s also located in the Northeast, which geographically works out fine.
Given all of this nonsense and manipulation, I strongly suggest you immediately turn off that useless sports garbage on the television or radio, and do something productive. You don’t have to be a brain dead, powerless consumer of sports any more. Just give them the middle finger and keep your money and time. And play the NameGame instead!
Good luck.
