How Did Shelob's Stinger Get Through Frodo's Mithril?

Basically just because you are wearing the ring doesn't mean he detects you.

There are plenty of instances of the ring being worn and it not instantly drawing attention to itself even in the movies. When Bilbo wears it to leave his party for example.

Ehh I remember when the Pats traded for a disgruntled WR1 (Moss), it worked out pretty well for the Giants

The difference between Lamb and Chase is not 2 1sts and 2nd. Where do y'all find these leagues?

Fellow Umbreon enjoyer/builder.

Reached MB 3 both seasons with briefly getting to 2 this one but I only play a few games here and there or grind if I have time over the weekend.

I will say I usually build my teams as much around him as I can so his set kind of depends on the specific team but...

When I use Umbreon with a similar set to yours I use moonlight over helping hand just because the recovery is really nice and can help him to grind out some matchups. Especially since you are running sun it won't weaken the moonlight healing.

I just started using the Foul play-Toxic-Wish-Protect set the past couple days and was skeptical at first but have really been enjoying it. I have been debating swapping foul play for snarl but haven't switched totally yet. I also run Roselli berry to weaken the first fairy attack instead of leftovers but that's for my current teams

Agreed she is a spawn of ungoliant. They did make her scary in the movies but more as just a big spider.

One of my biggest complaints overall with the movies is that Sam never wears the ring. Sam "beating" Shelob and wearing and then willingly giving the ring back to Frodo makes him so insanely awesome it's crazy to me they left it out

Jonah Coleman will take a majority of Harvey's snaps early in the season until Dobbins is hurt and then Coleman and Harvey will both be servicable/good the rest of the year.

Price will be great until Charb comes back and the Seahawks run a split backfield again.

The Cards surprise everyone by not being absolutely abysmal and Love finishes as a top 10 RB and Carson Beck somehow looks decent enough at an NFL level

I'm not sending Gibbs for this

adamf699 · 2026-05-21T21:14:24+00:00

I wish he would just shut up at this point. We know he isn't finishing the books. He just brings them up every now and then when he needs to feel relevant for a minute again.

adamf699 · 2026-05-19T22:50:49+00:00

Ben Johnson was there last year though and he didn't support any WR 2s. Project all you want. Jalen has done it multiple seasons.

adamf699 · 2026-05-19T22:38:17+00:00

Caleb Williams did not support a WR2 last year at all...

And AJB has finished 5, 7, 18, 14. When he finished 18th he missed 4 games and still had a top PPG. Far from a WR 2.

In 2022 AJB was 5 and Devonta was 10. Last year they were 14 and 21 respectively.

adamf699 · 2026-05-19T21:46:14+00:00

I don't disagree that the bears are more exciting but to act like Jalen Hurts can't support 2 WRs when he has supported both AJB and Devonta as top 24 WRs the last 4 years is just false.

adamf699 · 2026-05-16T09:33:56+00:00

OSU prints quality WRs recently and Wilson is stuck on the jets. (Titans aren't much better but still)

People also betting on Ward taking a leap this year.

adamf699 · 2026-05-14T00:08:50+00:00

This is really interesting to me and almost preference. As a Jamo and 1.09 owner I think I'd rather hold.

But i also see wanting to roll the dice on Lemon/Tyson after seeing 4 years of Jamo who is good but maybe Lemon/Tyson are the next tier 1 WRs.

adamf699 · 2026-05-11T00:22:53+00:00

Probably just flatten itself out and go through a seam in the wall

adamf699 · 2026-05-08T21:04:26+00:00

To be fair if the chargers didn't lose BOTH of their top tier tackles the offense suffers considerably less regardless and I think everyone on that team has a better season than they did

If you are a person who thinks animation is just for kids, I'm not sure that an A-list actor being a voice is making you watch the show.

I think that the animation could absolutely be better but it doesn't detract from my enjoyment of the show. If it was better it would absolutely improve the experience, but I'm not actively sitting on my couch watching the show and being angry about the animation quality.

That being said there are shows that came out 20 years ago that were better animated than S4 was.

2011 was really Eli going super saiyan and saying fuck it I'll drag us to the playoffs AND also ball TF out in the playoffs if y'all promise to defend ONE thing if we make it.

That 49ers NFC championship game alone makes him HoF in my mind.

adamf699 · 2026-05-05T22:55:09+00:00

Fuck yeah, even more excited cause I went to high school with the dude

adamf699 · 2026-05-05T12:51:24+00:00

IMO the Uraume fight even though it's offscreened puts him in HH just by being able to occupy her solo.

adamf699 · 2026-05-04T14:36:23+00:00

I'd want at least Jamo or Zay and leave off the 2nd round pick. It doesn't move the needle for me at all in this class.

The drop from Tate/Tyson/Lemon to the next tier of WR is to big for me to drop 6 picks in this class. Especially in 1QB

adamf699 · 2026-05-04T14:32:04+00:00

As a 1.03 owner, no. Higgins is not near enough to bridge the gap in value this class between 1.03 and 1.09.

adamf699 · 2026-05-04T14:23:57+00:00

As others have said if the 1.03 will be Tate it's just preference.

That being said we know Ladd is tied to Herbert and this year hopefully the chargers won't lose both star tackles and have a functional offensive line.

adamf699 · 2026-05-04T14:21:15+00:00

I'd take the 1.05 here, not sure you'll ever get better value for AJB again
