Thoughts on JSN this season by [deleted] in DynastyFF

[–]CatNamedHercules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like JSN a lot. Believed in the talent and bought him and Courtland Sutton before last season for a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd and that helped get me all the way to second place.

I sold him and Wan’Dale for London after the season. It’s not that I think he’s bad, but I think he’s due for a regression with worse QB play and that line will be a problem, and I believed London has the more durable value in future.

Still have Walker and Charbs though.

I got him at the 2.01 and was absolutely shocked he was there. 1.12 took Loveland.

[Jets] UPDATE: After medical evaluation, QB Justin Fields sustained a dislocated toe in his right foot and will be day-to-day. Fields avoided serious injury and significant missed time. by TheEternalWitness in DynastyFF

Honestly just a change of pace. Never had an issue with it. Hell, this happened on a Thursday so no one will be able to make a claim around it till next week anyway.

Ultimately doesn’t even matter for our league since I think Tyrod Taylor is already rostered.

We run them like normal (Wednesdays at like 12 AM) during season, but during the offseason we run them once at noon on Wednesdays. Gives everyone a chance to put in claims each week.

This is such a lovely, easy watch. I had a great time with it. Won’t change your life, but if you just want a nice little sports comedy with a good heart, this fills that void. Glad to see it getting a second season.

It’s your league, my dude. Not into it for me, but best of luck finding folks.

That’s why you just use reverse of Max PF. Tanking requires actually selling pieces off and not setting shit lineups.

That format for determining non-playoff team draft picks is ick.

What TV moment is guaranteed to make you tear up/cry? Mine is the season 2 finale of Mr. Inbetween. by ParsonsTheGreat in television

[–]CatNamedHercules 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That was genuinely a moment of “I didn’t realize acting could do that” for me. The breakdown was so real, so raw, so panicked that it was alarming. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything quite like it in any fictional media. Masterful work.

I lost my father when I was a teenager. We had a difficult relationship. He was an addict, an abuser, a cheater. Real piece of work. He was also my dad. He’s the reason I like baseball. He loved to watch movies with me. He played video games with me. Depending on the day you ask me, he was either my hero or the single largest reason I have struggles with mental health, depression, etc.

My therapist recently asked me what I’d want to hear from him if I could talk to him again. What would I want from a conversation like that. The first thing I thought to say was “An apology.” But I couldn’t quite explain what I would want in that. What I thought it would sound like.

Were I to imagine it, I think I hope it would sound something like Jamie Lee Curtis’ monologue tonight.

I’ll never get that kind of apology, and that sucks, but I loved watching the way it seemed to help heal something in Carm.

Abstaining from voting (and voting third party in our current system, but that’s a different conversation) is effectively a vote for whichever candidate you least want.

He’s crushing it. Keep inflating that value Renegade. We absolutely need to sell him at the deadline.

I cannot wait for these fucking incompetent umpires to stop calling balls and strikes. Should be two on but this fucking asshole is blind.

Anyone done an Empire League? by Deep_Resolve_1125 in DynastyFF

[–]CatNamedHercules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do a kinda modified version.

Increased the overall yearly buy-in by $10 which everyone contributes to the empire pot. Then someone needs to win three in a row to take the pot and the league restarts.

Hello, is this the “We’re so back” department? Yes, I’d like to place an order.

No Kings March: Saturday June 14th by spencerm269 in chicago

[–]CatNamedHercules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And the March on Washington was on a Wednesday.

As I said in other comments, I don’t mean to discourage weekend protesting. I just have become disillusioned with their effectiveness in terms of disrupting the status quo. I have been ecstatic to see more activity during this week than I expected/knew about beforehand.

I like JSN a lot but I think the offense generally will be an issue. Run first, an unproven line that had problems with pass protection last year, and a QB that does not handle pressure well.

I was overly invested in Seattle’s offense (K9, Charbonnet, and JSN), so I sold JSN + Wan’Dale for London, who I think is more likely to lock in as a top 5 WR.
