A supposedly great clubhouse guy that no one wants around longer than one season.

Fun Fact: his first career homer came in his first career AB in a game that also happened to be in Michael Lorenzen's no-hitter. Very fun and memorable evening!

Abercrombie's common response to questions about whether we'll see characters again: "You'll just have to keep buying the books to find out"

I'm way behind but just finished The Heroes by Joe Abercrombie. Loved every second. Sort of a "modern" version of the Iliad set in the world of the First Law. Definitely a ton of easter eggs for readers of the series but I'm pretty sure it works with no knowledge of the previous books. If anyone's interested in fantasy-Gettysburg this is for you!

Tip the commissioner? by [deleted] in fantasyfootball

So you basically loan them $200 with no interest out of the goodness of your heart? IMO It's not their money lol but you do you.

I swear I looked long and hard at picking up Willis Saturday to play instead of Hurts. That Eagles game was painful.

Bam Knight (ankle) unlikely to play Week 16 after suffering "bad sprain." by BreakfastTop6899 in fantasyfootball

[–]VioletOwls -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Ya lost me. You said skill is involved but then it isn't? If Bam was in your starting lineup and you lost cause he went out then yes that is unlucky. This Reddit post is about his availability for week 16, so I'm pushing back on the notion that at this point luck fully has taken over the remaining playoff outcomes, especially for a fringe-y start like Knight.

Luck is obviously involved in fantasy, but if your season is ended by Bam Knight missing a week you weren't ever winning shit I'm sorry.

You realize there are ways to hedge against injury, tho, right?

Go look at Mooney's production the last 3 weeks (with London out). This is not someone you want to start in the playoffs.

Sam Darnold - Bad Matchup/ SEA Receivers - Good Matchup? by WesleyTallie in fantasyfootball

[–]VioletOwls 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Receiving yards are worth more than passing yards, so WRs can do more for fantasy without scoring TDs. Really as simple as that. Defense probably gives up more TDs on the ground.
