  1. Hey now. Skyline is disgusting but a couch burning every now and then is good for the soul.
  2. I was going to post a link to the thread on the gambling board to try to get a couple more but haven't gotten around to it yet. I might ask Jr but I think it will be too much for him. Where do we see the draft results by team last year? Can't find it in the app or on the desktop version of the site but maybe I'm blind. Blindness confirmed. https://fantasy.espn.com/basketball/league/draftrecap?seasonId=2022&leagueId=113346
  3. This is a cool thing. The lounge on the 96th is free admission so a line will form. Best bet is to try to go when it opens and you might catch the sunset from up there. It is NOT the same as the 360 Chicago experience or whatever it's called, which is a paid ticket. I've got nothing on outdoor rooftop type of bars.
  4. Ngl this has been weirdly emotional for me as someone who has just been there a handful of times, as a tourist that is likely part of the contingent that is ruining the old Florida vibe on the island and funneling money to Hilton. It is a fantastic place that has provided some great memories with my kids. That said I can't imagine how you are feeling, let alone someone who lives there.
  5. I don't eat out much anymore and I would kill for most of these places right about now. From Five Guys to Whataburger. Hell I'd mow on some OG salad and bread right now. I don't really consider any of these places to be overrated. Maybe to a 15 year old. I will nominate Skyline Chili. There are some psychos out there that love that abomination.
  6. Found some decent video of Sanibel and Captiva, starting around 17:30 at the link below. Certainly not great but not underwater at least. Looks like Blind Pass is still intact. Better than I thought. https://m.facebook.com/WPLGLocal10/videos/sky-10-over-damage-in-punta-gorda-cayo-costa-captiva-sanibel-island/1131909620765059/
  7. Some different angles of the causeway @ :25 seconds and I think some shots of Sanibel around :47 and beyond from a chopper.
  8. My entire team sans me is in Tampa. Same thing happened a few years ago with the last storm. I haven't heard from most of them today. 2 were in mandatory evacuation zones. Only one of the 3 I've talked to today lost power. Another colleague in the area just called it basically a non event for them. I guess we should be thankful that it avoided the more populous TB area. I'm still sick seeing these pictures of Ft. Myers and what's trickling in from Sanibel. @Brew any word from your friends? I am also curious about N. Captiva. Can't be good.
  9. Tonight seems like a good spot for the Bengals. Rather, a bad spot for the Dolphins. They expended a lot of capital beating the Bills in 100 degree heat on Sunday. They are banged up, had to deal with an unusual schedule because of Ian, and are on 4 days rest. Miami 67 Cincy 8.
  10. As the lights come on I'm kind of expecting devastation from Sanibel/Captiva. This is the only way on/off the island by land. https://twitter.com/AnyssaBohanan/status/1575429197501186049
  11. Ballamatic hasn't been on the board since May so in all likelihood we can count him out, leaving us with 2 openings.
  12. Some guy on Twitter is claiming the Mucky Duck is "gone". Sad stuff either way. I hope everyone that stayed is safe.
  13. Good thing you sold when you did. There are some Instagram stories from some random who stayed on Captiva and his last updates were 4 hours ago as the second wall was starting to hit and the storm surge was coming in. I am guessing the entire island is under water at this point. Ugh. Edit not sure how to link to stories. Here's his profile. https://instagram.com/kalanbishopadmire23?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
  14. First come, choose which roster you want. Let Capn pick his roster and then I can ask my buddy to pick from the remaining 3.
  15. I might have one. Remind me of how the keeper rule works again?
  16. I see people on NextDoor complaining about this and I am confused. I don't like Kroger much at all, I go there because there is a brand spanking new Marketplace a half mile away. But I prefer this. I don't have to talk to anyone, I don't have to wait. What is the self scan experience like at other retailers? Anywhere I go with a self checkout it's like this. Last I heard Kroger was supposed to be debuting a self scan gun/cart computer that you take with you as you shop and bag as you shop, etc.
  17. I looked at Airbnb's in NYC last December and the cost was outrageous. Settled on Chicago and it didn't disappoint. Chicago rarely does. Fantastic city around the holidays. This was a family trip with two kids, though.
  18. The ten from last year, please confirm participation or non participation. 1. Derka friend 1 - in 2. Derka friend 2 - in 3. Derka - in 4. Me - in 5. @RexWilson - in 6. @ztejas - in 7. @BallamaticBevo - in 8. @Radical Larry - OUT (new team Capn) 9. @BigOrange1 - OUT (new team Baboon buddy) 10. @TheFlyingBoat - OUT (still open) Are we doing 100 this year?
  19. Not sure I understand why he picked up and dropped two guys. Cock blocking opponent? I think that's fair game. But yeah you should add transaction fees next season and truthfully if someone would have pulled the shit he did last year in my league he would not have been invited back this year.
  20. Do I wait out Herbert and his shot decision for the late games? I grabbed Mariota also in the late slot just in case. Or...Tua against Buffalo. I'm leaning Tua.
  21. Yeah the issue I think was Big O was out of contention and went on vacation or something during the time when the playoff bracket needed to be set up. You had commish access but didn't have a laptop or something, only your iphone. So you gave me commish access but I couldn't figure out who was supposed to be playing who because it wasn't clear and people weren't responding. Also if I recall we didn't have the money organized ahead of time so getting people to pay the winners was difficult. I'm in regardless, but whoever takes the ball and runs with it, I would go league safe or something up front. If we need to fill the league I believe I also have someone who would be interested.
  22. Honestly so would I but I've had a drink tonight and if you all can guide me on the settings, I'll commish. I'll set up league safe, etc so we can ensure payment. Unless we have another volunteer.
  23. I would pick Dotson and DK. If DK is one of your top 2 you aren't going to be able to wait to find out if Keenan Ivory Wayans is playing so pick right now between Dotson and Wilson and there's your answer.
