By the way, don't you find it at least a little refreshing to be able to rationally, intelligently, and civily discuss topics like this once in a while on this forum, where the parties act responsibly and are respectful of each other and behave like adults? I know I do, and appreciate being able to do so with others like yourself. Too bad that isn't always the case with some though...............

It sure is! Look at that, we can agree on the common sense that it is not completely worthless, and differ on the multiple reasoned judgements of just how much the win is worth, without absurd egotism and bizarre trolling.
I wonder which lefty had the best winning percentage compared to his teams winning percentage.
