I'm good with one-liners here and there, but I could never come up with the themes and fantastical things that some people put in their dynasties. And as much as I love the detail that you are pouring into yours, I could never sit there and keep that level of detail on a game-by-game basis. I'm much better at the AAR (After Action Report) kind of stuff -- post game analysis and statistical analysis
Yep, I was the same way. In college, in my Criminal Law class, we had a paper due at the start of class, 8am Monday morning. I literally started the paper (typed the very first words), at 2am that Monday morning, 6 hours before class started. In those 6 hours, not only did I pound out of a 5 page paper, but, I ended up getting a 97 on the paper, completely screwing the curve the entire class, and causing all my classmates to be pissed at me. Some of them had scores in 60s and low 70s, so they were hoping for a generous curve, until my paper screwed it all up.

However, since those days, as I said in a previous post, working in radio, I don't really get a chance to put my writing skills and talents to any real use. So when it comes to stuff like this, I enjoy going all out and making it very detailed and putting the work into it. Also, I have a tendency in me of wanting to make things as best as I can, and when it comes to stuff like this, I almost am forced to make it very clean, well laid out, very detailed, etc, otherwise it bothers me, as I view my work as an extension of my personal self, and if I'm going to put my work out there in public, I want it to be the best it can be, and not just "here's something I just tossed together".
