  1. I don't think this is a viable strategy. That is kind of what I did last year and I did ok but was exposed in the playoffs by better teams. One weird shift this year is with such deep rosters you don't really have the flexibility to drop/add like we did last year. I have one or two expendable players at best and I have 3 guys on IR. Once those dudes are healthy I don't think I will have anyone I'm willing to play the add/drop game with. I guess we will all get comfortable either dropping dudes that seem like 4th round picks or just holding rosters for the season.
  2. Years ago, when I was a couple of years out of college and the job market was not so hot, I worked with the dumbest person I have come across in any workplace. And that includes teenage stints as a bus boy, dishwasher, McDonald's, and doing skilled trade work in large auto plants. We were both contractors for a temp agency at a major automotive company. It was embarrassing to be an 'equal' in the workplace with this person, frankly. Anyway, she routinely sent emails with the Subject line "FYI" that would just contain a question. TO: Baboontyme Subject: FYI Hi Baboon, what time do we have our Operations meeting? She was also studying for her *Associates* degree (n her mid 40s) and she would ask me all of the time for help with her "algerbra" homework. It was like trying to teach math to a dog. "So all it means is that X is a fill in the blank number and you have to figure out what that fill in the blank number is" Looks at me wide eyed. "So in this example 2 + X = 3, can you figure out what number X is supposed to be?" Blank stare. Algerbra is tough.

    High

    I almost exclusively use vape pens because of the ability to control the intake/buzz (vs delayed effect of edibles) and the lack of smoke/smell. I can exhale directly in someone's face and they don't smell anything. I've tried. I don't need my kids asking if there is a skunk in the house. I'm not trying to get super high, it's more of a stress/anxiety management thing for me so ymmv. My go to brand is Stiizy. I have a couple of Stiizy batteries as their cartridges only fit their stuff. I think it's a pretty good product.
  4. From 2-0, tops in points and ~ 90% odds to make the playoffs to 2-5 and starting two RBs projected to total 15 points this week. It's been a fun half decade of FF. Oh well the draft is always a blast.
  5. These both sound a bit like sleep paralysis. Happens to me occasionally. Especially the part about trying to cry out. Sleep paralysis sucks and is quite scary even when you recognize that it's happening. For some reason it only seems to happen to me if I'm napping during the day and on my back.
  6. And then doubles down about how great mall coal fired pizza is.
  7. I like my team better than I did on draft night but still pissed I missed Curry in favor of PG13. As usual (or again) Rex has a pretty good team.
  8. Despite every other billboard in the state being a draft kings/Fan Duel/mgm ad (the rest are all cannabis shops) and Kevin Hart being on my TV all of the time riffing hilariously about overdogs and underdogs, it is really nice being able to easily slide money in and out of two handfuls of books using a checking account, credit card, Venmo, PayPal or whatever. Is legalized gambling coming to TX anytime soon?
  9. This new Giannis commercial... It already shows the guy is standing on the bleachers. So the big joke when he jumps down to play Giannis 1v1 and is a foot and a half shorter than him kind of falls flat.
  10. wait, YGIFS is lobo? I thought Texzilla was Lobo.
  11. I googled the blonde in the Behr paint commercial because she is hot and funny in the commercial and started following her on Instagram. She posted this today. Pretty tragic and I feel for her. I will definitely be a fan going forward. https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cj3J8p3gpvD/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
  12. So in retrospect, this was not a big deal at all. I know you were lit up last night but don't feel bad about it at all. We had to go back and revert all picks to Capn's pick at 2.3. Your picks were 1.8 and 2.1 so the only pick in between was Mattress Firm and he picked AD. I think the first time around for your auto draft you wound up with Steph and Dame so no harm no foul.
  13. Thanks everyone for being cool with pausing and reverting picks and all of that. Nice efficient draft other than the one hiccup. I hate my fucking team. I somehow missed that Steph was still on the board when I picked at 2.5. Oh and esp thanks to Capn for being a good sport about drafting a later ADP player because there was no easy option to fix it in the manager tools.
  14. I still see keepers on rosters in the draft room.
  15. How was your day (fine) Anything interesting happen today? (No)
  16. Did we decide on 100 vs 150? Anyone object to $150?
  17. This is the list I put together matched with posters, draft order and teams. Still need z's keepers. 8. ztejas - Chief Sitting Out - Giddey R9 Ant R10 7. Rex Wilson - Mattress Firm Sleeping Spree - Kyrie (7th) Alperen Sengun (10th) 6. Capn81 - Capn 81 - CP3 (5th) LaMelo (2nd) 5. Durdy - Done Durdy - Jamal Murray (10th) E. mobley (11th) 4. Baboontyme - Baboon's Goons - Jordan Poole (10th) Brandon Ingram (9th) 3. Derka/shadow operative - Omar Comin - Sabonis (3rd) Dejounte (6th) 2. Timbo52 - I'm Rick James Bitch - Ja Morant (4th) Darius Garland (7th) 1. BallamaticBevo - Lemon Pepper Lou - KD (3rd) @shadow_operative putting this in the OP for ease of finding
  18. Cool. I'm good with whatever, just a thought I had. Or we could do an expansion draft, as long as it doesn't cost us Mahorn. Sorry that's my childhood trauma showing. Looking forward to the draft.
  19. Just got the email and came to check the thread. Where were you a week ago @NOMAAA? Oh well prob not a bad thing my buddy is tag teaming. A 9 pm est draft on a school night is probably too late for him anyway. Though I was thinking if we want to go to ten next year and can fill the spots, what are teams 9 and 10 going to do for keepers? Seems like a tough sell if we are just saying no keepers for you. Derka, do you know what you need to do to wipe the current rosters? Does it just make you do that when you start the draft?
  20. I got Capn squared. He sent me his info last night and looks like he accepted the invite today. Editing title. Oh also I fixed the draft order.
  21. I default to Derka, it sounds like the league originated with him and his buddies and I have only been in it for 1 year. So like I said if there was some sort of a precedent before I joined I think it's fair to roll with that and bring it up as a rule change for next year to be voted on. If it's something that's never happened and no one really GsAF, I totally agree with you, you should be able to sub a 9th rounder. Again just trying to help move things along. That makes sense to me but there are only like 3 of us posting in this thread so shrug.
  22. I'm ok with whatever but if you need a quick vote on a decision and there isn't league precedent, I would vote for allowing teams to keep multiple 10th rounders and sub that pick for their 9th (or 8th). If there is league precedent I would go with leave as is and vote to change it for next year. Just my .02 and trying to help move things along and help solve open issues. We do need Capn's email, looks like we have last year's owner still in there. I will PM him.
  23. Sorry to redo this, but it will help us later. Or at least me. 8. ztejas - Chief Sitting Out - Keepers TBD 7. Rex Wilson - Mattress Firm Sleeping Spree - Kyrie (7th) Alperen Sengun (10th) 6. Capn81 - Capn 81 - CP3 (5th) LaMelo (2nd) 5. Durdy - Done Durdy - Jamal Murray (10th) E. mobley (11th) 4. Baboontyme - Baboon's Goons - Jordan Poole (10th) Brandon Ingram (9th) 3. Derka/shadow operative - Omar Comin - Sabonis (3rd) Dejounte (6th) 2. Timbo52 - I'm Rick James Bitch - Ja Morant (4th) Darius Garland (7th) 1. BallamaticBevo - Lemon Pepper Lou - KD (3rd)
  24. Agree, unless ESPN allows us to assign the round of our keepers we are going to have to keep doing it the way we did last year. I can be on draft pause watch if we need someone to.
