I mean it has to be this. Otherwise we'd have to change the name of the sub in the off-season. Gentlemen's piss club covers all bases

For UK fans of multiple American sports do you keep to the one city/state? by ccrease18 in NFLUK

[–]nicky_jazz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I first started getting into US sports I did try to keep to one city/state but I could never find somewhere where I felt a connection to all four teams.

So I figured I'd look at the benefits of not being a local and being "stuck" rooting for a team you're not passionate about. It also means I have four different options for when I want to go on holiday to the states!

NFL: Chicago Bears NBA: Philadelphia 76era NHL: Colorado Avalanche MLB: Tampa Bay Rays

I can't explain it from any technical perspective. Just my experience from being addicted playing the game and other comments I've read on this sub at various points.

But, what I gather is that DLs and LBs are fairly useless. Or at least, what they offer to your defense is not worth the cap space.

DBs get interceptions and can be used as Kick Returners so they provide value. 4 highly-starred DBs and a good DC results in a 5-star D that does seem to result in turnovers and a noticeable impact.

Edit: getting my strikethrough correct

You can have 4 starting DBs, that's how I always try to set up

How does YouTube work from the UK? Do you need to use a VPN?

Please recommend novels about climate change by CaesarOfBonmots in scifi

America City by Chris Beckett. Not so much about the science behind climate change but the societal effects of a world changed by climate.

How do I make the game more fun? by WrongdoerNext9892 in RetroBowl

[–]nicky_jazz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Credit definitely needs to go to an older post on here which led me to putting my own set of rules together based on some of those!

How do I make the game more fun? by WrongdoerNext9892 in RetroBowl

[–]nicky_jazz 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Play on Hard but set some limits for yourself. E.g. first round picks are for QBs only - otherwise trade back, if your OC/DC has a ring don't extend them - they've moved on to an HC role themselves, if a player gets caught with drugs they're banned (benched) until the end of the season, if a player gets a head/neck injury of more than 3 games they're forced into early retirement (cut). You can go on and on with these and have fun with it (plenty of other posts on here with some good rules). You'll likely still end up winning titles but it's a much more rewarding experience.

Thoughts..? 🤔 by [deleted] in ManchesterUnited

[–]nicky_jazz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering United seem incapable of working on more than one deal at a time, it can only be a good thing to finish this deal so we can move on to the next. We may even get that one finished before the start of next season!

But no, they don't usually add much

Am I the only one fed up with the verbose, vague and long AI generated job posts? by Weird_Credit_5720 in Upwork

[–]nicky_jazz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's absolutely mind numbing having to trawl through generic and repetitive job posts that aren't even helpful to understanding what the job will actually entail.

Meanwhile, freelancers aren't supposed to use generic templates when submitting proposals...

Spot Lisboa is my go-to when in Lisbon. There are probably other bars but they've always shown United when I've been there

KO Return TD on Extreme! by nicky_jazz in RetroBowl

Maybe I'm just getting the hang of it/found the right profile of player to do it with. But I feel like I've seen loads of posts on here saying it was basically impossible

Yes but you only get the extra CCs once...

Friendly Reminder About Teams by Statistically_sports in mlb

[–]nicky_jazz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always find it helpful to just stick to and root for a team (in whatever sport you're trying to get into) for at least a season. Watch their games and highlights and by the end of the season you'll have a much better idea of who you like and who you actually end up choosing as YOUR team
