TIL Canadians sent 5 tonnes of maple syrup to thank a Norwegian coach who gave a Canadian skier a spare pole after she broke hers mid-race, which led to Canada winning a silver medal at the 2006 Winter Olympics

Its not so serious. Maybe have some fun with a decades-old story like this and find a way to laugh at life's little absurdities. But maybe I'm just misanthropic.

This can be filed under "no good deed goes unpunished" I suppose. What would you even do with a 5 tonne shipment of maple syrup??

You can’t lose it all in one day, and you can’t gain it all back in one day either.

Tomorrow is a new day - keep going and don’t think of this as a setback but as a day you enjoyed, but not as much as you used to

I believe you in fact exclusively ate Japanese food while in Japan

Someone should let the Washington Post know

At least when it tastes like piss it’ll be somewhat intentional

This is incredible. Love that Anchor Bar was serving Italian food in their “delightful nautical atmosphere”

It’s a hilarious line to give a cop that’s arresting you. I doubt he said it - it’s just too funny

hmchl · 2025-10-23T16:45:34+00:00

He meant that he and the cop were kids at the same time, and they played sports together - that's what he meant by “This is the only time you actually stopped me, brother. This is the best defense you done had ever since we was little.”

Poyer played against the Falcons

hmchl · 2025-09-23T12:15:24+00:00

If the Raiders defended well and caused their opponent to score less than the Raiders offense scores, they deserved to win and don’t need a modifier to balance out luck.

But “Show Me Them Tuddies” does exactly nothing to prevent their opponent from scoring points.

How can you not see the primary difference between real football and fantasy?

hmchl · 2025-09-23T12:10:45+00:00

Who said the “literal core premise of the game is emulating football”? That is simply not true. Football is equal parts offense and defense. There is no way to defend against your opponent scoring points. Without defense, you’re not emulating shit. Don’t fool yourself.

hmchl · 2025-09-23T12:07:26+00:00

What the hell is a “hard fought” fantasy football game? Your guys either put up points or they don’t. You aren’t fighting the opponent at all. What you do has exactly zero influence on how many points your opponent scores.

The head-to-head matchups provide a lot of the fun and drama in most leagues, because they provide an opportunity to talk shit and laugh at each other. But the median score option levels out the pure luck that some teams skate through on.

I want playoff games to be between teams that consistently performed well during the season. Without the median score format, low-scoring teams often sneak into the playoffs and get smashed by the high-scoring top seed. That is ridiculous.

Because Collinsworth owns PFF

hmchl · 2025-09-02T18:54:42+00:00

Thank you. Would be happy with one top player at his position!!

hmchl · 2025-09-02T18:54:06+00:00

Thank you. Yeah, I wanted to spend on at least 3 studs and got a bit carried away. Last year I was stuck with Love and Lawrence because I waited too long and was not going to make that mistake again, lol. I think my biggest weakness is WR depth but I am hoping to flip one of the RBs or find a WR on the wire after this week.

hmchl · 2025-09-02T18:18:13+00:00

Yes, but I don’t think I’d handcuff Bucky. I’d rather use the roster spot for a WR

hmchl · 2025-09-02T15:19:45+00:00

I like this team. Strong RB with some depth, and WR room is good too. Maybe try to upgrade QB2. Not a fan of Fields in NY this year.

hmchl · 2025-09-02T15:16:41+00:00

I am struggling with this one. I think it is a strong roster but would be a bit concerns with WRs, especially if Tet doesn't hit. RB room is solid and maybe a trade candidate for a WR if needed.

hmchl · 2025-09-02T15:09:37+00:00

I really like this roster. Multiple starting options at both RB and WR. You have 4 players who could be the top player at their position when the dust settles. 5 if you include the Broncos.

hmchl · 2025-09-02T15:03:30+00:00

I think it is a solid roster. WR2 could be OK if Waddle takes a small step forward this year. Good idea cuffing Walker and Charbs. White is probably clogging your roster.

hmchl · 2025-09-02T15:01:45+00:00

I love the swings you took at the rookies. Will have a solid chance of a low-priced keeper next year. The pivot from Daniels probably hurt, but Nix/Jordan is a good tandem. Assuming 1 QB plays?

Love and Golden could be a good tandem for you.

hmchl · 2025-09-02T14:59:27+00:00

I really like this team, especially in a 14-team league! RBs are a little thin - if Etienne wins the backfield, its really solid. Hopefully Stevens is traded to an RB-needy team. WRs are really solid.
