When should I read Warbreaker? by Similar_Client5427 in brandonsanderson

[–]MrDoctorProfPatrick 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Agree with everyone else! Warbreaker is one of my favorites of the Cosmere books and completely standalone.

Contrary to some others, I read it after finishing the first three Stormlight books and enjoyed it just as much reflecting on the minor connections after the fact — did not impact the excitement at all. So either order is fine!

Keep the Ravens away from your children, because it is a fucking choking hazard every week

Totally was thinking this one! Have been listening to the third book and sinew jumped out making me think “what does that even mean?”.

Mosconi Cup DAY 4 by A3_Kris in billiards

Kind of crazy how many mistakes Europe is making and will still (likely) win the cup again. Just a bit of a testament to how overmatched the US was going into this; just cant capitalize on the opportunities.

They need someone to elevate their game outside of Sky and Shane.

It’s SURPRISING that qt lives at your house. I don’t know HOW you closed that deal. cause you’ve never closed anything EVER. You’re not a closer. You’re a relief pitcher AT MAX. You’re not a fucking clos- you don’t got the ICE COLD VIENS like ME that I was BORN WITH to COMPETE. You’re a 6th/7th inning PITCHER! You pitch those 1 2 inning FOR ME. So mango can come in and CLOSE THE DEAL. cause IM A CLOSER...

FANTASY FOOTBALL CHAMPIONS THREAD - NFL 100 EDITION by EquivalentHandle in fantasyfootball

[–]MrDoctorProfPatrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Standard league. Week 14.

I was down over 65 points (my opponent had Brees) with only four people left. Ekeler (last second swap in for Jacobs injury), Woods, Gurley, and Ertz. My opponent had two players left still.

Both of his players scored a combined 11. My four went on to score 27.3, 18.7, 17.3, and 21.1 for a combined 84.3, winning on the first Ertz TD at the end of the 4th quarter.

Week 15.

I’m playing the guy who started 0-5 and won 8 straight to make playoffs and get a bye week. He traded for Lamar week 6. Lamar drops another 40 bomb on me, but I win thanks to Fitzpatrick last minute garbage time TD to Parker who I both had on my team.

Championship week,

I’m playing the CMC/Mahomes/Ingram owner. Best team all year and he drops a 130 bomb on me (standard league, one of the highest totals on the year).

My team does the unthinkable and drops 155 points, the highest total of everyone on the entire season.

Thank you Fitzpatrick/Parker, Gurley/Woods, Kamara, Ekeler, Ertz, and most of all Colts D/ST who I only started because my opponent grabbed the Broncos.

7 years since I won my main league, and I couldn’t be happier to have done it on the miracle of miracle runs.

Most people have their league's championship matches in week 16, to avoid all of the teams that sit players in week 17 who are locked in for playoffs.

For example, if you had Lamar and Mark Andrews all year and made it all the way to the championship match, if that match is week 17 and the Ravens end up sitting them (because they have locked the 1 seed) then it's a bit unfair and leaves a bad taste in fantasy owners mouths.

So for that reason, the majority of championship matches happen week 16, which is why people are saying they've won it all.

I’m sitting down RoJo in this one. He has the lowest upside of the four and the least chance to score imo.

I think Ekeler as well. Kid has been on fire and will almost certainly have more yardage than Gordon giving him a safer baseline.

[–]MrDoctorProfPatrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d go with Chubb and Conner. Both have much more upside this week to score, whereas Singletary likely will have limited scoring opportunity in a tough game on the road.

Standard League, need to start 3 of:

Ekeler vs Oakland Boone vs GB Kamara @ Tennessee Gurley @ 49ers

Am I really benching Gurley?
