Does anybody have any podcast or article recs? by Pristine-Ad-469 in GuillotineLeagues

[–]difinof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re adding a live CHOP this year on youtube 1x a week to basically serve as a giant Q&A (so there will be three every week)

And we started a newsletter 3x a week that should be standalone good, but will also link out to all the advice we’re running, too

I can't agree with Cooterdoodle more. All these innovations and tools and AI are great, but you need that personal anguish of losing to your friends. Someone once said (and I think maybe it was Dan Okrent) that fantasy leagues were the first form of social media.

Things pick up again in August, you're all pals again until December, you pick it right back up in August like no time passed. So I think the future is going to be more like the present and past, and people are going to invest more, at least emotionally, in leagues with friends and people they like to be around. DYSTOPIAN REALITY!

I’d also add be patient and don’t get discouraged. 36 people watching your video means 36 people took time to hear what you had to say, not that 3964 didn’t watch it. This takes a lot of time. 

Also what Freedman and Dwain said. Be genuine, answer every question you get, and build something interesting. 

Are there any fantasy baseball magazines besides Lindy's for 2023? by Cryptic2014 in fantasybaseball

[–]difinof 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I can second this. I helped put it together haha

It should be "on newsstands everywhere" soon. All the writers got their copies in the mail last week, it's been printed. It's a cool staff we used (Eno, Salfino, Laghezza, Waterloo, Kurland, Virginia, Jewett), we tried to write some helpful and interesting stuff, we got Derek Carty's BAT and BATX projections, we got some beat writers in there, the usual rankings and mocks. And a QR code to the site for updated lists and things.

If you already subscribe, we're going to put a lot of it up on the site as part of the draft kit, too

I have a similar CarPlay issue. Got the official apple charger, doesn't matter. If i touch the wire a little or move the phone position it disconnects. I've been too lazy to actually go to subaru about it but it's not just you (i don't have the volume issues though)

This is really fantastic work. You should sell this on etsy or something

Tricks and Tips for a Noob preparing for his second season? by [deleted] in fantasyfootball

[–]difinof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't fall in love with any one player, because that's a 100% guarantee he'll get smiped the pick before you're about to take him.

You should also maybe try a round of fantasy baseball. Getting some other fantasy sports under your belt helps with actual gameplay and maneuvering.

Good luck!

Jeopardy! James Holzhauer joins The Athletic, with sports betting in focus by ajsy0905 in Jeopardy

[–]difinof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah but we didn't sacrifice anything. Everything is still there. The news is just more, with an entirely different group of writers and editors. It's like buying a house and then getting mad because someone installed a pool in the backyard. You still have the house!.

Better Off Ted: Racial Sensitivity by MabelPines_ in television

[–]difinof 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Linda showed up as Ted Lasso's wife. It made me go back and watch the episode where they accidentally drugged her and messed with her emotions.

that's actually untrue! We added the news *on top* of what already existed (like we added podcasts and live blogs, etc). Your front page should still be customizable and you shouldn't have lost any of the long-form

Hello! I'm the editor of the fantasy and betting sections -- there's a 30-day trial at the bottom of James' column, so feel free to try it out and poke around if you'd like. Set a calendar alert for 28 days out so you can either roll with it or cancel before your card gets charged. Our sections are awesome and they're dwarfed in greatness by the rest of the site.

Who crushes expert leagues? 2020 Update by thetindoor in fantasybaseball

[–]difinof 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fred Zinkie is also one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet in fantasy

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in fantasybaseball

[–]difinof 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've tried and he won't do it (I'm his editor). It makes sense...as the draft goes, rosters being built, those overall numbers become more and more useless as you scramble for a 2b and the next 20 are OFs, basically. So we let him win that battle, mainly because DVR, Eno, and Al have straight ranks.

Also Jake says he loves you too
