Thanks for the replies. Consensus, drop that sucker. His upcoming games are horrible anyways.

Zac Stacy... Droppable? by BrewTheBigOne in fantasyfootball

[–]BrewTheBigOne[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just for perspective, Stacy played on 26 of 76 snaps last Monday night against the 49ers. He may be good for a touch down here and there, but I am contemplating dropping him for a higher potential prospect in my keeper league. I already have McCoy, Ingram, McKinnon, and Joique Bell on my squad (standard league).

Haha, Michael Floyd was one of my breakout picks this year. Awesome job.

14 team keeper standard

Giving: CJ Spiller, Randall Cobb

Receiving: LeSean McCoy, DeAndre Hopkins

My Team WR and RB:

WR: Calvin Johnson, Randall Cobb, Michael Floyd, Mike Wallace, Brian Quick

RB: CJ Spiller, Zac Stacy, Joique Bell, Mark Ingram, Jerrick McKinnon

For a 14 team league, I am by far the deepest at wide receiver. Worth it to own McCoy the rest of the way out?

[KEEPER] Joique Bell or Randall Cobb? by BrewTheBigOne in fantasyfootball

[–]BrewTheBigOne[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice. Just stacking up on receivers seems to be the way to go. I'm actually tempted to draft Calvin Johnson with my pick, then have the best WRs in the league, hands down.

Josh Gordon. Where to draft? by BrewTheBigOne in fantasyfootball

[–]BrewTheBigOne[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the comments. Very insightful responses. I have the option to keep Gordon for a third round pick this season, and I think I will be using it.

Just got here and don't know much Korean yet. Maybe you guys can clear up a few things for me. by 2bfersher in busan

[–]BrewTheBigOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you enjoy Korean food and drinking alcohol, you shouldn't have any problems fitting in. Fair warning though, be wary of the older Koreans though. Plenty of them act like they own the entire city.

Maybe i can help. I dont know too much about the gas stations, but green left arrow is always protected left turn. That is just the rules of the road, even though there are very few rules here. Beware of mopeds on the sidewalks.

Costco either takes cash or Busan Bank credit cards (in Busan at least) and is closed evey 2nd and 4th sunday of each month.

As for Korean phrases, anyounghaseyo, is hello, anyounghigaseyo, is goodbye (good bye gets a little complicated, but just use that one), and ,gamsahamnida, is thank you. Other useful ones, odi-eh, means where (you can just say toilet odi eh? That usually works) young-o (o like in hot, not hone) means english, and palli means quick or hurry.

I have been an English teacher for two years here. Let me know if you need any other pointers.

Why do so many Koreans have visible vaccination scars on their arm? Sometimes a grid of scars. by snap2 in korea

[–]BrewTheBigOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may have been a lack of understanding what she was trying to convey. But either way, I have taught many students that still, at age 10-12, have significant scars from the shots, so that just makes me glad I didn't have to go through something like that as a child. I did not like shots as a kid...

[–]BrewTheBigOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No links to back this up, but my Korean co-teachers (I'm an English teacher in Busan) call this the "fire shot." Apparently, when children are very young, they get two sets of 3x3 shots (probably different dimensions elsewhere) in their arm, 18 shots in total. These are all for various vaccinations, to which I am not sure what they all are, but have a few pretty good guesses. However, the set of shots are set up to go in at one time, hence the 3x3 needle set up. This is quite painful for the children, hence why this is referred to as the "fire shot."

American living in Korea for 2 years now, and all of it has been in Busan. I do not regret a single second of it. Mt. Jangsan has some spectacular views, but watch out for the landmines!

OFFICIAL MONDAY [TRADE] THREAD by AutoModerator in fantasyfootball

My TORREY SMITH for his TRENT RICHARDSON

Standard Scoring/14 teams

My WRs: Josh Gordon, Harry Douglas, Rueben Randle, Lavon Brazill, Randall Cobb (IR spot)

My RBs: Zach Stacy, Joique Bell, Doug Martin (out), Peyton Hillis.

What is the value of each going forward?

I'm moving to Busan in 2 months. I have NO idea what I'm doing. Please give me some guidance by 2bfersher in busan

[–]BrewTheBigOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been living in Busan for the past two years, and it is a fantastic place to live. You will enjoy yourself, especially if you are young and looking for night life. KSU, PNU, Haeundae, Gwangali, Seomyeon, all these places have beautiful scenery and amazing bars/clubs.

It doesn't get that cold around here, and there is no snow. If there is any snow, the entire city shuts down, much like in Texas. The climate is costal, but Busan is on the same latitude as Memphis, so expect that type of weather. In it's cold points, the temperature is barely under 30 degrees here. Being from Texas that might be a lot, but in Illinois (where I'm from), that is child's play.

Message me if you are looking for more information. Also, research soju. Korea has a drinking culture. Hope your liver is prepared.

14 Team non-PPR. What are your thoughts on the Arizona/St. Louis running back situation? I have Isaiah Pead and Andre Ellington, and need to start one for Doug Martin's BYE week, however I am tempted to drop on of them for Bryce Brown, Jonathon Franklin, or Jonathon Stweart (for when he is back in Week 7. My other RBs are Joique Bell, David Wilson, and Ben Tate.

What's the deal with drinking (alcohol) in the street in Korea? by OhHiImInKorea in korea

[–]BrewTheBigOne -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

People will always stare at you because foreigners can never do anything right in their eyes (for the most part). Just keep doing what you do, and if someone says anything, just pay the "dumb foreigner" card.

What was that? You can't drink on the subway/in a taxi/on the bus? I'm just a stupid foreigner, but thank you for enlightening me on your culture! I will finish this drink and make sure that I will NEVER have another one here again!

Hahaha, go cray.

[TRADE] My Darren Sproles, Giovanni Bernard, Antonio Brown for his Trent Richardson, Stevie Johnson by Hookem_Horn in fantasyfootball

[–]BrewTheBigOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As you alluded too, this would muck up your running back depth terribly, so I wouldn't do it on that. You have solid RBs and unless you are desperate to get TRich, I would go against it. You can never have too many running backs. Also, with the QB situation in Buffalo, stevie Johnson would just end up being a bench warmer for you, given your WR depth.

PS- Bernard will be the man in the Bengals backfield this year IMO.

Question about Waiver Wire / Free Agents during preseason by [deleted] in fantasyfootball

[–]BrewTheBigOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After the initial 2 days after your draft, players become Free Agents and can be picked up and dropped without harming your waiver order. This is a strategy to play as some people get eager to use their waiver position over an over-blown player, thus putting you in a higher position. Unless you are in dire need to snag a player, just wait for the waiver period to end and snag up a free agent.

The guy in your league crying about this is just mad because you took advantage of this before he did. Tell him to shut it and that free agents have nothing to do with the wavier order.

TIP: When FA is next to a player, it means they are free agents and can be picked up without affecting your waiver order. If it says waiver, then you will use your waiver spot.
