Talk me down off of the ledge regarding the cone of shame. I've never had to put one of my dogs in one. Pup has seasonal allergies causing her to lick her back feet and they are getting raw. Claritin and fish oil was the first thing we tried and it seemed to work for a couple of weeks but then she started again. Now she's supposed to put the cone on when I can't watch her. I'm not comfortable putting a crazy 7 month old puppy in the crate with the cone or anything else on when I can't supervise her. Vet says it's fine. I'm convinced she's going to get it caught on something in the crate and choke herself out or some other shit.

Rams are a live dog tonight. ML

I know Muslims in Michigan has been belabored to death, though maybe not quite as much as Applebee's vs Sonic. As someone whose father is a Muslim in Michigan I have a perspective. I thought this was a good read and reminder. Even in the circles I know on that side of the family and people they associate with, opinions sway wildly. Pops is Kamala all the way for the record. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/10/24/2279008/-Here-s-how-Harris-and-Trump-are-doing-with-Arab-American-voters?pm_campaign=front_page&pm_source=top_news_slot_1&pm_medium=web

I had him rostered 48 hours ago. I know he still has some juice left, but the situation with Levis and Rudolph made him worthless. I don't need a ton of help at WR but thought I would dip into the FA pool and try to secure Jennings who looks pretty certain to have a prominent role in a good offense for the rest of the year. I put a pretty hefty bid on him (40 something) and won the bid by a couple of bucks. Woke up Wednesday morning to see I won the Jennings sweepstakes but that Nucky was going to play with Mahomes. Because he was just waived, he went back into the FAAB pool and 3 teams bid over 50 to land him. I neglected to jump back in but still annoyed. Price is Right horn.

Appollonia!

This brings back some memories haha. When I first brought my trailer home I spent a good couple of weeks trying to figure out where to put it so that it would be in a good spot for cooking that was also accessible to my driveway for taking it tailgating. I built a brick paver pad and then promptly got the pit home and tried to wheel it off of the driveway into the lawn to the back and it sunk 3" into the sod. I eventually got it back there using a couple of alternating sheets of plywood. I bought a mesh lawn reinforcement system, installed it and a hand dolly cart so I could move the pit back and forth. Realized after 2 months that despite the paver pad and the expensive cover I bought from Tractor Supply the pit was rusting like crazy because of the morning condensation. It has been in the garage ever since. That was about 11 years ago. Good looking pit, excited for you to break it in.

D Hop to KC. How are we feeling about this.

Weiner kids ruined my night. I was hoping to be doing the same but it was not to be. Watching now at least.

I have changed the regular season schedule to encompass 18 weeks instead of 20. Besides that and replacing TDs with FT% I haven't made any other changes to the league settings. Let me know if I missed anything.

That's not great. Sorry about that. When did you join?

Looks like it all worked. Rosters cleared except for keepers. We should be all set. See y'all in a bit.

Added FT %. We are back to 12 cats.

You should not have to pick your keepers, the draft should do it automatically.

I have removed triple doubles from the scoring categories. It is set to be an 11 Category league. Please let me know if anyone has an issue with this. Just wanted to let everyone know that I officially did it in advance of the draft.

Got the keepers and their rounds set. It was much simpler than I thought. Easy to change up until 1 hour before the draft in case Gregger or anyone else changes their mind. I think we're ready to draft!

If we don't hear by tonight, yeah I'll do that. I want to make sure I have it set up and don't need to scramble before the draft tomorrow. If he decides he wants someone else in addition we can just make note of it and tell people he's off limits and then have him draft that guy in the proper round. Jr really drafted a hell of a team. Maybe he wants to keep Killian Hayes.

Your vote counts as much as anyone else's. I just looked at the settings again and there is no requirement that we pick 12 categories. What if we just remove it and roll with 11? Anyone object? I just need Focker's keepers. Any word @Derka?

4th and 3rd respectively. I've got you down.

I love it!!

Also I'm unclear on if draft order was determined by Mama Derka this year. I would like to thank her if so.

Yeah I would say this even if I had a bottom 3 pick, I have no problems keeping it. It sounds like @Dutchrudder really doesn't care for it. Does anyone else have any opinions either way? At this point I just need keepers for @Capn81 and Greg's team and I can set the keepers and reset rosters.

There are tons and tons of options. Any stat you can think of from Technicals to Ejections to Team Wins. Quadruple Doubles even lol. What do you guys like? FGM? 3 Pt %? Those two seem to me like the most straightforward of the options. Steals to Turnover Ratio?

This may be the only time in the history of me playing fantasy sports that I've landed 1.1 in a snake draft. How many months of the season will Joker miss you think?

I am back on mobile and those options aren't available on the app. I'll look on desktop tonight and post the options. I'm sure there are a few.

Ok teams are filled. Reference This post here for last year's draft picks. If you don't have a keeper listed in this thread I will tag you.
