I think 8 teams is the best option. 4 conference winners and 4 at-large teams. No byes, everyone plays a quality game every week for 3 weeks.

Well, it's not like they are from Central America either. Antarctica is the only place I can think of that they would fit, and despite the long flight costs, as a taxpayer I would be in favor of it.

Oh cool! Going from 10th to 2nd is a whole different world. Even better it means my 4th round keeper is 39th pick! 😁 I did some mocks today, and Wemby went first in all of them. Kinda surprising to see a second year guy there, but he's from another planet. Last year he was a 2nd/3rd round pick, now he's probably 1.1 for the next 10 years. Haven't seen many rookies picked, this draft class isn't projected to do well based on Fantasy prognostications. I think Sarr was the only one, but he was in the last round or two.

I'm not sure that was intentional. I think he got confused about what to do in that situation and froze, while Bridges ran into him expecting an NBA player to go up and contest the shot. Great thing is Bronny has a lot of time to learn how to play defense and contest shots at the rim before Game 1 of the season, and he has 4 years guaranteed to learn on the job too!

I am good with those keepers. Do we have any other options for replacing the Triple Double stat? I don't run a BB fantasy league, so I'm not sure what other options they have for scoring. I know my other league on Yahoo has Free Throws total, and also FT%. Might be an option, but I would think there are others.

That is awesome, but also irritating to see. Lines should not need to be that long, there should be more methods to vote, more locations, and it should be faster/simpler in person. Props to all those in line, if i saw that i would come back another day. Early voting in Texas starts tomorrow, but I'm gonna shoot for Tuesday to hopefully avoid the rush.

This popped up while i was working around the house, the Al Smith Catholic Charity dinner in New York. The first ~20 minutes is basically Jim Gaffigan doing a roast, which is pretty funny. He jokes about both sides pretty well, and then slips in one kitty grabbing joke while introducing Trump that was "agreed to be left out" as someone near the podium says audibly on the video. There's a short Kamala video, which was 2 minutes of the Mary Catherine SNL character and a few minutes of Harris giving a short formal address. Then it's like 30 minutes of Trump trying to make some jokes and possibly the most coherent speech he's given in months. He's following a script and actually sticking to it, which is kind of surprising he can do. Not that the content is anything interesting, but i did think it was funny when he announced he was at the "self deprecating jokes" part, and then side stepped it saying there were plenty of other people that do it for him. He actually calls Bill Deblasio a "shitty mayor," and talks about how Eric Adams is going to beat the charges and come out on top. I like how he talks about his dad giving money to charity when he was a kid, but fails to mention anything he's ever done for charity.

I'll keep Tyrese Maxey for sure in the 4th. I'm torn between Brandon Miller in the 10th or Keldon Johnson in the 9th. I think I'll shoot my shit with Miller and hope he makes a leap this year.

Nothing from Maye makes me concerned about the Patriots future. The guy had zero pocket presence and got hit at least a dozen times and sailed a few balls into defenders. Looked like vintage David Carr out there, holding the ball way too long, not making quick decisions, and rarely throwing more than 10 yards down field. Yeah his protection wasn't good, but he really didn't do much to help them. He was in shotgun nearly every passing snap, and didn't step up past the outside rush or roll out to get more time to look down field much. It's his first start, so plenty of time to get better, but this doesn't look like a budding Jordan Love or CJ Stroud level player. Seems more like Mac Jones 2.0 to me. If I was a Pats fan, I would ignore all that, focus on the numbers, which includes lots of yac on short throws and garbage time, and hope he develops more. But as a fan of the Texans, who have been beaten down by Brady and the Pats a dozen times over the years, I'm happy they will be spending a bunch of resources on a guy who probably has a max ceiling of being Alex Smith. In other news, Watson continues to fail for the Browns. That trade really will go down as the most lopsided trade of all time. It is outdoing the Hershell Walker trade, which lead to that team winning a few Super Bowls with the proceeds. Let's hope the Texans can repeat history and do the same with their bounty. The team so far looks like they will be at least the 3 seed and hosting a playoff game or two. Getting Autry back next week will improve the pass rush even more, which is needed against the Packers. If Nico can get healthy, the offense will go back to lethal status, and hopefully he's back in time for the Lions game at least. The NFC North is stacked this year.

He should list all his accomplishments, I'm sure it would fit in a 15 second ad spot. Supposedly Kim Ogg is supporting him for sponsoring a bill to keep violent illegals locked up when arrested, but they never name the bill or give any other info on it. I guess they don't want people to look up the specifics and see that it's already an option for judges regardless of someone citizenship.

Hell of a run there. Being out on the 1 would probably be better to waste some more clock. Just get out of here, and go home with the W.

That was a nice run, great move to the outside and hitting the corner of the end zone. Love to see it!

The Yankees need a 3B too... I don't think we are gonna line where he winds up, unless he strikes out and comes back on a 1+1 deal like other Boras clients did last year.

Interesting chart with ratings for each episode. The low one in season 6 was the Episode 100 clip show. The end of season 5 was a strong finish with The Fire, The Hamptons (shrinkage) and The Opposite. All very memorable episodes mostly focused on George. Just look at all that green from S3-S8, it's a hell of a run with very few misses. Really speaks to the quality of the show and why it's still so successful in syndication today.

If you need one more, I'll play. If I make it an odd number you can leave me out. No hard feelings.

I was at that game in the Crawford Boxes, over by the fair poll about 6 rows back. I stayed for all 6 hours of it, and it was a glorious game. Big comeback to tie it in the 9th, then 9 innings of nothing until Burke hit that homer in the bottom of the 18th. I think the Astros used every pitcher on the roster besides Pettitte and Oswalt, many pitched multiple innings. Clemens came in to pitch a few shutout innings at the end and got the W. I paid about $150 in 2005 for that ticket, which was a lot back then, and it was well worth it.

I think that needs to come from the top down, it's a pretty obvious issue from a fan's perspective. I hope that Dana or someone in the org can be the adult in the room and squash this issue going forward. You also have to think it rattle's the pitcher's confidence to be put in a jam and fail to get out of it without surrendering runs. It can have a snowball effect that can take a while to overcome.

Yeah, I had at least a dozen of the ones on this top 100 list: https://brickranker.com/rankings/sets. It's got to be worth a ton to the right collector. Blackbeard's ship, the Clipper, El Dorado, Black Knight Castle, Forestman Hideout, Enchanted Island, Monorail Transport Base, Monorail Transport System, Inter-Galactic Command Base... Tons and tons more, I had a whole city setup, the Aquanauts base with a bunch of ships, Western sets, the Robin Hood sets, space, pirates, etc. So many sets, it's really all I asked for as presents for Christmas and birthday for several years. I hope it's all OK up there, I haven't looked at it in many years.

Watching Clase come into the game in the 8th with 2 on, knowing you fully intend on him pitching the 9th, felt very much like an Espada decision. I know it's the playoffs, but changing things up probably isn't the best idea to do to your closer who only pitched more than 1 inning one time all year. He proceeded to blow the game, but it reminded me of several instances where they did the same thing to Hader.

I had this set as a kid, we got it before they made all the cannons duds, so it had 4 spring loaded cannons. It was awesome. It's in a container in my parents attic somewhere, along with probably 2-300 other sets. Need to go claim them sometime...

Awesome kick there, probably could have been another 5+ yards back and still made it. Kami really bailed them out this game, that should have been a 10 point win.

Well that was not good...

We are paying more than league minimum for Robert Woods, instead of cutting him and saving millions this offseason...

Great job defense!

Poor effort by Diggs there, didn't even try to tag the guy down. I'm kinda happy he will be gone after this season, that trade seems like a huge waste of draft capital and 22 million dollars of cap space.
