  1. It's in the OU side, obviously, Sec. 134, row 22. You can either use it to get in and attempt to relocate, or if you're feeling confident, sit next to me and troll me if the game goes poorly for me. Face value. Can transfer electronically on electronic payment or can meet in Austin today or early Friday or Dallas Friday evening to accept cash monies.

    No offense but your league sounds like an absolute beating.

    Which of those steps is hard or unusual? Some people like thinking and decisions rather than just doing a mindless snake draft in 30 minutes, then just hoping you're at the top of the waiver wire randomly when a star RB goes down. And my question was technically about Brad's league, not mine. 

    Plus there are TONS of leagues that are way more complicated, such as using IDPs, having long term and short term "contracts" and salary caps, with things like if you cut the guy, you still are responsible for half the salary, etc, etc.

    I feel like you kind of have to let it ride for this year. If you want to implement a rule next year then that’s one thing, but he’s putting himself at a disadvantage this year by not spending FAAB this year. It is kinda Bush league, but he’s just using the rules to his advantage. I don’t have a problem with it, but if I was commish I would probably put a rule in place so it cant happen next year 

    One other note is you can keep for unlimited years, just with the inflation. So if allowed, he could keep Jacobs or CEH for $6 next year, then $11, then $16, then $21, etc. If it was single year keeper thing, I think people would be more inclined to say "hey good one, let's fix it now"

    My auction league is very similar, in your case I’d make a couple of changes. Free agent pickups should be $10+5 to keep, not $1+5. So, if you luck box into Kareem Hunt 2018, good on you but you’re not finding value in a WR3 or something. There should be no minimum number of keepers, if a player wants to throw his whole roster back he should be allowed to. A player being dropped and added back by the same team doesn’t affect his keeper value, the controlling documents are draft day prices and end of season roster. Anybody you didn’t draft is $15 to keep and anybody you did is draft day value plus inflation rate...there is no need to track cuts and adds.

    The Barkley owner in my league cut him to use his IR spot on a better future value, so I used some FAAB on him. He’ll be $15 for me next year. I’ve had Zeke since his suspension year discount, but he’ll cost me market rate next year...so a good time to rebuild.

    Thanks! 10+5 is an interesting idea. 

    What happens for trades?  Say I draft a player for $20, cut him, pick him back up, then trade him to you. Is your keeper value $25 or $15? 

    We discussed no minimums for keepers but thought that was more boring. 1 spot out of 15 shouldn't be too oppressive, esp since you can keep a FA for $6 in our league. 

  5. The Barkley issue we already resolved by allowing a player to be dropped and “frozen” for pickup by any other team.

    Also you can’t add an IR or bench slot in ESPN leagues mid season.

    And no keeper league would ever disallow keeping any free agent or waiver picks, that would really suck and be a huge overreaction to a problem that has multiple ways to solve it.

    The problem isn’t “how to come up with a good rule”, it was more “should we address this mid season or nah”.

    Thanks for everyone’s feedback!!

  6. Keeper values have to be addressed.

    For example, D'Andre Swift was bought on draft day for $17.  He was later cut, and signed from the waiver wire. What's his keeper value next year? $17+5, since draft day value? or $1+5, since he was signed as a free agent? It's not the bidding using FAAB (which is super duper standard) that is screwing anything up, it's a player deciding to "reset" his player's keeper value by cutting him, then immediately picking him back up. If we used a straight waiver wire, this would actually be EASIER, since whoever had the #1 waiver spot could just cut his top player, resign them, and now keep for $1+5. 

    When you have keepers in an auction league, yes, players have to have a value attached. 

    And I have literally no idea what you mean by adding another IR slot, it's completely unrelated to what's going on.

    Keeper leagues are the worst. What was your reason for implementing that? 

    What do you not like about them? Ironically, we implemented it to make things more fun. Generally, adding strategic layers and decision points = bueno. So, say I have an underperforming rookie WR, do I cut him, or keep him on for now in hopes of keeping him for next year? 

    I have a dynasty league also and love it. 

  8. I have been part of a fantasy league for 25 years. Membership has evolved some, there are 3 of us left from season 1 and 5 from season 2. The current roster has all been together for a decade plus. It's a $100 league, and my brother and I drive from Austin to Oklahoma City for the draft weekend, play golf and poker, etc. So not a high stakes league, among friends and family.

    This year, we decided to add keepers (and we do auction drafting). You can keep min 1, max 2. Value is this year's draft value plus $5 or 10%, whichever is greater. Free agents have value of $1. Some people wanted to have drafted players always keep draft value, but others didn't like that b/c if someone overpays, then cuts, the new owner shouldn't be bound to the old value. A potential loophole/issue got raised in Week 2 where the issue of players like Barkley came up. Either the player who had him has to keep Barkley all year in their IR spot, at their disadvantage, or cut him and someone can pick him up and keep for $6. So we implemented a rule where you can do what we call an "IR freeze" where you can drop a player on IR and they are frozen, and automatically in draft pool next year. We had a full discussion about if there were any other issues and none were raised.

    We do FAAB bidding for the free agents. It has come to the league's attention that one player is saving all of his FAAB, so that he can cut a player (either Josh Jacobs or CEH) and then immediately resign him, so he can keep him for $6 next year. Wanted to get some outside opinions on this, thanks!!

    I think this one flies over actually.

    74 college football teams are playing currently. PFF grades Texas as #72 of 74 in tackling, and OU as #73 of 74. You never know, but yeah this feels like an absurd 51-45 type of game. BTW, for those wondering who tackles worse - Vanderbilt. So that's good.

  10. Yeah, I anticipated the market for RRS this year to be sick, just based on limited supply.

    I will very much miss the fair festivities, but, hey, I'm still getting a couple Fletcher's and some beer, and some fucking ROOM to spread out, so definitely not all bad!

  11. Which leads me to the practical conclusion that it is already everywhere.  How many 14 day “incubations” are necessary to make everyone realize that it is a really bad flu.  I guess the standard now is global commerce shuts down every Oct?


    You’re an imbecile. Does the flu typically result in people dying in hospital floors because there is no ICU space available? Oh no it doesn’t. Cool.

    On the evening of Friday Feb 28th, I took my 6 year old to Texas Children’s Urgent Care on Memorial at the Beltway after he had a fever and a nasty cough for 3-4 days that wasn’t getting any better. I go in and the place is full of kids with the same shit. Doctor says there is some nasty non-flu virus going around and that it would probably last another 4-5 days. Didn’t think much of it at the time.

    My daughter also had a fever and dry cough and tested negative for flu.

    My sister (no pics) is a college instructor. They went all online late yesterday and she says it'll be a cluster. Lotsa students don't have computers, teachers aren't trained on the software or online teaching best practices. And you don't learn as much taking an online class. Better in real life.

    She's a former nurse and says all these school closings are dumb. Young people don't get CV. Her opinion not mine.

    Again, people who have no clue spreading misinformation. The kids carry the fucking virus, they just don't by and large (though not 100%) develop the illness, especially severe cases. But morons will hear her and others like her say that shit and think HEY SHE'S A NURSE and that she knows shit from dick. Yes, this random nurse knows more than 95+% of all epidemiologists, virologists, the WHO, the CDC, Dr. Fauci, all the national and local governments who are making decisions.

    Not directed at you Parliament, just annoyed how many unnecessary deaths the stupid and uninformed will cause.
