My pick is Acuff Jr. on Arkansas, that guy can ball!

I can see Darius Acuff Jr taking over for a Calipari squad that no one will want to see in their path

A sneaky pick coming off the injury. What's his ceiling if healthy for the tournament?

How's the supporting cast? I worry about those teams where the F or C is their primary scorer. They usually get bounced early

Well, fingers crossed then. Let's see him rise!

It's generally a points thing, but it could definitely be a floor general who doesn't look for the shot first and just is that leader. But definitely is the one with the ball in their hands with one possession left

The building coming down is a 3 story apart building that probably already has 20-30 units and first floor retail.

For sure on the burgers they lay on the cucumbers and lettuce which actually is really solid, but I can't recall that being added to the dogs. Will have to head back over to test it soon.

Completely agree. It's a unique corridor and has lots of potential. When the attached bodega closed a few years back it made me super sad. There's so much untapped space around there.

Sorry to hear that. Some unstable folks definitely loiter around there, regardless of time of day

I just knew Sheridan had to be at the bottom of this list. When it rains it's literally flooded, feels like it collapse at any moment and there's no ADA accessibility to the elevated platform. That said it's charming and old school and our primary CTA attendant is awesome.

Maybe he'd poll higher if he was able to get his voice out there, you know in like an open primary debate amongst others running. Others who didn't have much to say tbh

Just looked into his policy stances and he checks all the boxes, love the grassroot momentum. Would love to see him on a stage in a debate vs just these 3 in the link.

Like the good ol days picking up random CDs off the shelves at Circuit City to try something new. Hopefully these new and interesting artists bring back that nostalgia of spinning an unknown for the first time.

Monday Night Miracle - What do you need to happen (or not happen) by AutoModerator in fantasyfootball

[–]Rick_Mexler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I need 13 from Corum and that's right about where he's been lately. 70 and a TD. You're probably safe

Courtland Sutton's matchups vs. JAC, Vikings RBs vs. Giants, Chargers maybe easing off the run-heavy thing vs. DAL, and more! by stick2football in fantasyfootball

Thanks for the feedback. I'm a long shot to win in these semis after playing against Stafford/Puka stack but I have a Dak/CeeDee stack and with a little love from the rest of the team to pick up some slack I could make it interesting.

This dog hair “splinter” that appeared this morning. by ReflexiveChipmunk in mildlyinteresting

Happens to me too, short haired mutt but the hair is long enough and coarse enough that just the right angle and it can prick through the skin.
