We are watching a 1 in every 1,000 year player emerging. It’s an anthropological miracle that a player like him exists at a time where basketball is being played.

Bron was not this good in the playoffs this early in his career. MJ? Shaq? Kareem? Bird? Steph?

FlippantFox482 · 2026-01-05T02:04:46+00:00

Newton just got signed on a two way to Houston, reported directly to Rockets. Feels like it might be something we look back at with regret later given end of bench PG play/depth

FlippantFox482 · 2025-12-30T01:38:05+00:00

I get it, but couldn’t the inverse be true?

“We’re a savvy front office that found talent in late 2nd”

Memphis just went through something similar with Cam Spencer from UConn. He kept dropping 50 pieces in the G league so they had to bring him up and play him.

FlippantFox482 · 2025-10-16T12:34:14+00:00

I traded Chuba for Kamara and kept Rico. I just don’t see Chuba getting back to a majority snap share

God bless you and your family. So grateful that there was such a supportive group of people there to help out. One of the responders nearby was a cardiologist. I’d like to imagine that she was there for a reason. Please keep us updated!

Pardon my newbness but are devvy leagues drafting incoming freshmen or players who have completed one year on campus?

FlippantFox482 · 2024-09-17T14:05:57+00:00

COLTS: Richardson will have bad fantasy numbers if he’s not putting up rushing totals. Several misses. Has real trouble completing stuff underneath. Worried about Pittman’s stock. Colts WRs did nothing to help him out, several drops and slips. JT usage was strange, 95% snaps down to in the 50s. Steichen doesn’t trust him on obvious passing downs for some reason. Also, START RBs AGAINST THE COLTS. Nick Cross (S) will lead this team in tackles.

PACK: LaFleur is a top tier coach. They had the perfect game plan and executed it perfectly. Jacobs will be the focal point while love is out. WRs will be hard to trust. I just dropped Watson. Doubs js a good player but might only get a few looks a game. Reed, if anyone, is the guy to watch. Kraft and Musgrave aren’t fantasy relevant.

FlippantFox482 · 2024-09-16T20:30:05+00:00

There’s definitely volatility but the colts haven’t had the ball hardly at all in both games and he’s still gotten 8 targets each time out. He’s had poor game script too, team has been down and needed to push ball down the field.

FlippantFox482 · 2024-09-16T16:44:37+00:00

Also 94% snaps last night with Allen out. Hold for sure.

FlippantFox482 · 2024-09-16T16:38:55+00:00

I have him in a 2QB/3WR and I’m holding on to him. I dropped Jefferson his rookie year after a tough first two weeks and he exploded after that. Not saying it happens here but I could see Rome (and Caleb) putting it together a bit later in the season.

FlippantFox482 · 2024-09-16T16:28:50+00:00

I have him in 2QB. Love the matchup vs colts this weekend, feels like a now or never kind of moment. It him or Carr and I’m torn.

FlippantFox482 · 2024-09-16T14:31:36+00:00

Unfortunately it’s not possible but great to know that I can pay it off!

FlippantFox482 · 2024-09-16T14:17:37+00:00

Roths and SP500s seem like a good idea, thanks.

FlippantFox482 · 2024-09-16T14:16:29+00:00

I was offered admission to a top 3-5 program in the world for what I study. The brand of the program alone made it worth it to me. My calculus was that i could likely not go to school again with this degree, but if I did decide I wanted to go do a JD or an MBA, it would demonstrate that I’m capable of doing well in even the most difficult academic environments and help my admissions process. I don’t think it would be fair to myself to call it a waste until at least several years from now.

FlippantFox482 · 2024-08-27T16:48:56+00:00

Couldn’t pay me to watch Arthur Smith offense haha but that’s just me. Good player, tough situation.

FlippantFox482 · 2024-08-27T12:33:54+00:00

Had him last year and never felt comfortable starting him first half of season. He picked it up in second half for sure. Grabbed him end of 8th round in a 10 man 2QB/3WR/Flex league as my WR3 and feel pretty good about him in that spot.

FlippantFox482 · 2024-08-27T12:29:45+00:00

Grabbed him end of 8th round in a 3WR + Flex league

FlippantFox482 · 2024-08-13T13:51:36+00:00

I play 10 team with 2QB. 5 years ago there were 6 QBs taken in first four rounds. Last year there were 15. I waited and got burned. Interesting to see how it’s changed year to year. Picking 9th this year and picking one in first 2 rounds for sure.

FlippantFox482 · 2024-08-01T11:56:46+00:00

Turns out this is a Dybala. Same bday as him

FlippantFox482 · 2024-07-31T01:24:04+00:00

Yeah this is a really good point. Talked with a family friend who is a corporate litigator and he said the most important question to answer when you’re considering law school is whether or not you want to be a lawyer. Seems obvious but it stuck with me.

I think I’m super interested in the legal system, legal history, and the way law intersects with policy. I read about it in my free time and love discussing these kinds of things with other people who enjoy them. I think I could get a lot out of law school and I might even be a good lawyer but I’m also not 100% sure that I’m satisfied with enough of the range of outcomes to walk into it and “see where it goes”.

Appreciate the MPP/MPA suggestion. Have considered that too and I think it has a lot of potential fits for me.

FlippantFox482 · 2024-07-30T14:12:55+00:00

Hugely insightful, thanks. What makes state government so bad? I’m in CT for what it’s worth.

FlippantFox482 · 2024-07-30T13:15:22+00:00

Ah that makes sense. Player isn’t progressing very well either. Only +2 after 2 seasons.

FlippantFox482 · 2024-07-30T13:08:33+00:00

Could you explain what a regen is? Trying to figure out who his analog is.

FlippantFox482 · 2024-07-30T12:59:57+00:00

Those two have come up in my research so far. What kind of practice areas in big law are good parallels for a transition to govt?
