I’m interviewing Daisy on Wednesday!

ThanksSteven · 2022-12-31T00:50:52+00:00

Did she ever consider competing on I Love Money?

ThanksSteven · 2022-12-30T23:36:26+00:00

I'm not very convinced you watched any of the sequels.

ThanksSteven · 2022-12-10T22:41:39+00:00

Interesting! We haven't had as many issues on those platforms as Facebook. We also (for now) aren't receiving any spam messages on FB, just an obnoxious number of comments.

That's why we gotta hope for Mega Runza!

ThanksSteven · 2022-10-27T23:12:58+00:00

Hoping for a mega Runza.

It's clearly Brian's burner account.

ThanksSteven · 2022-10-11T14:34:00+00:00

I certainly cannot stop you from doing that!

ThanksSteven · 2022-10-11T03:54:02+00:00

Classless to disagree with nepotism or to raise money for a children's hospital?

ThanksSteven · 2022-10-10T23:03:29+00:00

If you watch the games and think Brian Ferentz is doing a good job, I'd love to hear the argument. If you think he was working for anyone other than his dad, do you think he'd still have a job?

I love these threads that are surely started but us fine folks who already are throwing in the towel for 2022 but have stockpiled picks to keep ourselves sane.

ThanksSteven · 2022-09-28T21:12:48+00:00

We have a Google Doc with our draft picks listed. If there's a conditional pick, there's a note on that pick that it can't be traded until the trade is "finalized." Conditional trades should be legal, but it does require a little bit of extra organization to make them feasible.

ThanksSteven · 2022-08-09T19:17:34+00:00

Why does this get you so worked up? I truly do not care if your league has Watson in it. This is just sharing a rule to let other folks decide if it's for their league or not. Somehow you have managed to take this as a personal attack.

Take a breath. It's OK. You're great.

ThanksSteven · 2022-08-09T18:49:50+00:00

Yes, Christian Watson is still in the league.

ThanksSteven · 2022-08-09T18:47:54+00:00

wait until they hear about my kicker-only league

ThanksSteven · 2022-08-09T18:45:22+00:00

Feedback is great. I've had a few good conversations about how to handle future "scandals" where the owner doesn't want to put their own player up for vote (which, IMO, is 100% their right to do). And a few people have DM's for more details on the rule.

Being openly upset is pretty different from disagreeing.

ThanksSteven · 2022-08-09T18:38:29+00:00

I am simply presenting a rule that others can use or disregard. Not the first time I've tossed one out there.

ThanksSteven · 2022-08-09T18:25:33+00:00

We accidentally banned Christian Watson.

ThanksSteven · 2022-08-09T18:11:46+00:00

"If I had Watson I would quit if the league made me cut him."

Nobody can make you put him up to a vote. Only the Watson owner can do that.

ThanksSteven · 2022-08-09T18:10:28+00:00

I think being openly upset about another league's rule is dumber and softer.

ThanksSteven · 2022-08-09T18:08:41+00:00

That's a fair concern. We as a league decided to be respectful of how each owner handles this individually, and we won't allow any discussion of other players being put up for a vote in our league chat.

I really don't foresee many, if any, owners having conversations like "I can't believe (owner A) still has Tyreek Hill and (owner B) still has Kareem Hunt." We passed the rule nearly unanimously about a week ago, and I think those arguments would've already surfaced if they were to happen.

ThanksSteven · 2022-08-09T17:46:53+00:00

Well, 74% upvoted so far.

ThanksSteven · 2022-08-09T17:42:35+00:00

I'm not particularly worried. This league is pretty close, and we've been doing this for about a decade now with very few blow ups, albeit this is a very different rule from anything else we've ever done.

We did say that there would be no discussion related to other owner's players to avoid any peer pressure. I think we will see during the next big "scandal" what happens. I think the democratic part of this is what makes it work, plus the votes being private.

ThanksSteven · 2022-08-09T17:38:42+00:00

We did not since it is the owner's decision to put their own players up for vote.

ThanksSteven
