  1. Thanks @NoName, heading there in a few weeks with some friends. I have heard Uber is not reliable. Do you have any recs on a ride share or driving service? The place we are staying is about ten minutes outside of town.

  2. Watched the last 20 minutes of Catfish again. Not spoilering the first part but I will the second. 

    Sophie's mom is a MILF

    Spoiler

    The comment from Khloe's parents (who I agree with whoever said it above, yeah, I don't get great vibes from them) where the mom said that she told someone that 'Shawn and Lauren are going to play the victims in this and get off scott free' - what is the implication here? Shawn and Lauren knew it was her the whole time and played dumb? How would that benefit them? That's certainly an interesting angle but not one that struck me as plausible during the rest of the documentary.

    I thought everyone's behavior was strange. Even when first told that it was mom doing it, the daughter was still hugging on her. That was odd.

    Definitely. Though I was thinking the daughter wasn't really understanding/processing what happened with the way the detective explained it. An adult definitely would have, but I don't think she did at first. Still, her being kind of aloof/forgiving about it after the fact is very strange. I felt so awful for that poor kid. No real friends, Dad didn't seem to be close to her, no siblings, she probably is all alone except for her mom. What an absolutely heinous thing to to do anyone's child, let alone your own. Man people are fucked up, what a shitty world we live in. 

     

  4. Ok onto the next thing. Has anybody done non continuous FAB on ESPN before? In my CBS auction league, non rostered players lock as soon as their games start. Bids are processed on Wednesday night/Thursday early AM, and free agent adds are open first come, first serve as soon as those bids are processed and free agents are awarded to the high bidders. That was my intent here. 

    I did some googling and I think it's pretty similar here, but it doesn't let me select a day, only a waiver period (currently set to one day). I am reading that the waiver period applies not only after the last game of the week, but also after the draft and to any player who is dropped. So from what I can tell, free agent bids should process tonight and then free agents will be first come first serve provided their game hasn't already started. Then, players will be locked and the bid process would run again on Wednesday (no idea what time). I'm reading that if I set the waiver period to 2 days, bids would process on Thursday instead of Wednesday. 

    Anyone know for sure? Any opinions on Wednesday vs Thursday? I'm definitely going to leave it to one day for at least the next couple days so people can do open adds and drops for Week 1 after the bids (maybe) run tonight. But I could change it on Sunday or Monday to 2 days if Thursday is a better day.

  5. High School Catfish 

    Spoiler

    Yeah this is mind blowing. I am so sad for that poor girl. She unfortunately doesn't seem to realize how scarred she is going to be from this. As a Dad, it also made me very upset that the Dad seemed to be more concerned with his wife having fake jobs and lying to him than he was for his daughter. That pales in comparison to the anger towards the Mom, of course. I just wish she had a better advocate.

  6. Yeah I hate this, last thing I wanted because of optics. I'm in another league with a buddy where the commissioner has given himself the #1 pick 3 years in a row (without a recording of drawing the order). I told my buddy I've been playing FF for 25 years and never once gotten the top overall pick. Now I'm the commissioner with a bunch of randoms who don't know me, and of course I get it. I think pick 4/5 is the sweet spot, but I will be taking Chase at 1.1.

    Prizes seem reasonable to me.

    Personally, I like the commish (or someone) to hold the money. I know we're all adults but I fucking hate badgering people to pay up later.

    You are right and considering that person is going to be me, I think I will look into league safe tonight.

    I am getting pulled into a 5:30 ET meeting. I'm picking my daughter up at 5 from cheer and I will have her draw the draft order and I'll post it after my call. All teams have accepted invites.
