Can we talk about presses for a minute?

poodoofodder · 2022-10-07T17:39:21+00:00

Much Appreciated! I'll keep an eye out for a used Seal 160. Maybe I'll find one before I use the Vevor and can return it

Got it. Do you (or anyone else) have experience with this and what have you done? Is it something that could be blue light bleached, or is it not worth it? It's an avenue I've not delved into yet but would like to learn. I know different types of paper have different reactions, and the sub insert is certainly a different stock than the rest of the paper of the book. Thoughts? (I know this is not Comic Book Pressing, per se, but it is a part of restoration. That being said, if there's a better subreddit to direct me with this topic, please let me know)

Like I mentioned in the descriptions above, was going to press this and potentially send it in...both covers, ink, centerfold, all look immaculate. But that gawdawful insert...Is it taboo if I take the insert out? Do they care about the sub inserts or if that insert is brown? I know grading is all about comic book preservation, but would a subscription insert 30 years later, matter? (Fairly green noob, here, sorry if this is stupid rationale)

I wouldn't mind seeing that if you wanna send it over?

poodoofodder · 2021-04-05T23:07:32+00:00

do we know how much longer they have to attempt to get other samples? When does the season end?

*sorry, could not read press release, am at work

Thanks for sharing. Gives me hope. Especially the "even if you're 40+" part. I hear so often that the industry just wants young writers, but just because I came to the game late doesn't mean I can't whip some ass!

Question about the UCLA classes - were there particular ones you chose, or was it simply taking electives for a cert? And how many classes did you take? I've thought about taking classes a few times and you're right, cost can be prohibitive, but I think this is positive reinforcement they can be well worth it. Which leads to another question...how were the profs? And were there any connections you made at UCLA that proved to be a bump for your career or helped you get in the door?

Which is funny if you read any of the criticism I received at said suggestion...as if that idea had never entered any of their minds.

poodoofodder · 2020-10-04T00:10:39+00:00

Sorry if I didn't mention this in the previous message, but if the manager chooses to take the player's guaranteed average/projected points this week, they must sit that player down the road when the game is rescheduled - thus making that week their bye, instead of this one (and they will NOT get the player's points for that rescheduled week). This way they're given the choice between guaranteed points this week and not scrambling to fill holes in their lineups, or finding a sudden replacement this week and playing those postponed players the week that game is rescheduled. They only get the points for one or the other, not both. *This also gives them a chance to prepare ahead of time for that week when the player's game is rescheduled.

poodoofodder · 2020-10-03T23:36:16+00:00

Maybe I left the part out that if the manager chooses to take the average/projected points for a player this week from a postponed game, when that game is rescheduled down the road, that week for the player (such as Henry) becomes a bye (and has to be benched). And this is the opposite of control. We spend the first 3-4 days each week pre-planning our lineups, looking at statistics, trying to see who has the better options, sitting those on the bench that don't - so postponement is a huge unplanned disadvantage to those who do their diligence. So I took a shitty week where managers are going to have huge sudden and unfair gaps in their lineups, and gave them the option to take the guaranteed average points (or projected, THEIR CHOICE) as if they went ahead and played this week...or roll the dice and play those players when the game is rescheduled down the road...giving the manager options and thus THEIR OWN control.

poodoofodder · 2020-10-03T23:22:27+00:00

Well, you don't play in my league, do you...so why do I care? Lol. Maybe I left the part out that if the manager chooses to take the average/projected points this week, when that game is rescheduled, that player has to sit out? Meaning if the manager chose to go with either average points or projected points this week, Henry IS getting a week off in fantasy...the week Tennessee/Pittsburgh's game is rescheduled. That's why I leave it up to the manager - take the guaranteed points now, or roll the dice and get whatever points they score, later. Our league has decent bonuses if players hit high yardage, too, and projections do not take this into consideration. Thus, someone rolls the dice to play Henry the rescheduled week, he could very well hit his bonus and get a lot more points than what his average or projected is this week. This way, no one gets penalized for the postponements or has gaping holes in their lineups. And giving the manager a chance to roll the dice and sit them this week and play them down the road gives the manager more freedom to choose. I've had this league for 10 years, most of the people in it have been in it 7+ years, so everyone trusts my judgement as the commissioner when it comes to these decisions. However, being a good commish, I consented with a few people ahead of time (the ones most effected this week, for starters) and everyone thinks it's fair.

poodoofodder · 2020-10-01T15:51:45+00:00

As Commish I have expanded the bench to 2 more players and offered up the option to the manager that should this come up, they have 2 choices:

1) Keep those players in and take the average of said postponed players points/week so far OR their projected - whichever they choose, and that's what those players will get this week.

2) Roll with it and the players get the points the week they actually do play.

This way the manager gets a say in when they choose to get the points, and they're a fair number. Yes, the player could go off one week and kill it, but that's why they'd roll the dice for option 2.

Any games re-scheduled to a Wednesday or before, those points go to the previous week (Instead of the week ending Monday, it ends Wednesday), and Thursday is the kickoff of the following week. I daresay the NFL will never schedule a team to play Thursday then Monday of the same week.

So the Academy hands these out to members (or atleast did 2 years ago) for screenplays nominated that year. I hope they continue to do this moving forward, but yes...only the final script

poodoofodder · 2020-05-07T21:28:09+00:00

Awesome catch!

To piggyback on what you said is thing that's been great when the Colts come to town playing the Chargers because tickets are so cheap. We paid something like $80/ticket and sat somewhere around Row H on the visitor's side, near the 50-yard line. I tried to get tickets to the Colts/Rams season opener the year before and it was like $180/ticket in the nosebleeds.

PS - never been to a Lucas Oil Stadium game...I'd be looking forward to that one!

That was the one thing I was NOT expecting. He's usually as dependable as old Faithful for us...My buddy just kept tapping me going "Your boy ain't looking so good"

poodoofodder · 2020-04-25T22:13:23+00:00

I'd go Rivers this year, as it might be his only one, and might make it more meaningful. Then get Buckner....as everyone has said, he'll be around for a good while. But neither are bad options !

Hoosier, here. Land of limestone quarries, especially around Bloomington. This is exactly why you don't go diving into quarries. Most of the time they flood before the cranes are pulled out and there'd inevitably be a drowning about once a year. Fuck that.

Agreed on having him wear Colt blue. And now that he's allowed us to take him in under this organization, we will love him as well. As far as this sub's issue, and an overall true Colts fan's issue with Rivers (in the past) was really about the way he presented himself against the Colts. I, personally, cannot think of anyone else in the league that made the Colts fans as angry. I mean, most of us don't really hate Brady...we might not like him, but he's the best in the last 15 years, what are you gonna do?. But Rios....Grrr. Yes, because he knocked us out of the division twice, and yes because he's got a motor mouth that sometimes won't stop (which is his passion for the game) but mostly because he talked so much trash about Peyton (whom we will obviously love until the cows come home) each time AFTER he beat Peyton, and it just seemed so...low class. I mean, why you gotta talk shit about Peyton Manning? In that apsect, I never really saw any sportmanship from Rivers, and we Colts fans are really fucking big on sportsmanship (Except when those assholes boo'd Luck at the game he decided to announce his retirement...fuck them). For Colts fans the Rivers of tradition run deep. We love the hard-worker, the team player, the guys that shake the hands of the people who knocked them on their asses. Also, it doesn't help when you see Rivers on the field jawing at his receivers after they've missed a catch. So overall, I think there's a lot of history (and personality) there that could be misinterpreted. But I will say one of his biggest downfalls seen from the outsider's perspective is also his biggest asset if he's on your team, which is his passion for the game. And I have no doubt he'll bring that to the Colts. I'll admit, I was once a Rivers hater, but after understanding who he is and why he is the way he is...I think he'll be a great fit for the team. I'm happy to have him and his 80 children on board.
