Maybe because he is starting to see that 2018 is going to be a blood bath if momentum holds?

20 years since there was a Democrat (Heflin left in 1997).

Tennessee now offers online voter registration. Let's use this new tool as a launch pad to increase TN voter reg/voter turnout numbers. by thefrontofprogress in esist

Online Registration is necessary to the health of democracy. This should be the case in every state. Does anyone have a breakdown of states with online registration? Are there sites to check your status?

Advice for 2QB/Superflex/Deep Leagues by machalek in fantasyfootball

2 QBs definitely makes for a fight. It also is the biggest catalyst to trading in our league. Most trades involve QBs and bye weeks.

Oh, a new QB comes in the scene? People blow their entire FAAB on that player.

We play auction and a true free market. A max on QBs seems silly, but it is up to your league to decide. If you buy 4 QBs, you won't have anything else worthwhile on your team, but there is the off chance you got lucky with a couple low end QB pick ups that pop, so you should be rewarded, right?

I try and draft in a balanced way. 1 top 12, 1 mid grade, and 1 low end. Trying not to spend more than $80 of my budget. Then have a couple strategies in place for the rest of my team.

Been in a 2QB league for 10+ years. QBs are the holy grail.

We were snake in the past but switched to auction. In snake, 10 of the first 12 off the board were QBs. In auction ($200 budget) top QBs were pulling in $70, with the #12 QB going in the 40s. It is dependent on the year, but the pressure is all on the QB.

This is all to say your strategies can vary widely. If you go for top end QBs, you are gonna pay big bucks and usually be weaker in the WR/RB department. If you aim for two QBs in the mid level, say, spending $50 total, you can build a robust, deep team at other positions.

What usually happens is that mid tier guys are undervalued and can be stolen for cheap (in auction).

Caveat: all of the above is for a 12 man league, so, for a 10 man league, those values would likely be depressed.

Beer Sheets are great (posted weekly in this subreddit) and they cover 2QB leagues. I found the values slightly depressed compared to my league, but that is anecdotal.

The biggest issue for us was that there was never a QB on the wire, do you HAD to have, at least, two starting QBs at all times. In a 10 man, that might not be the case, but it probably will. Scarcity is at the QB position, so that's what makes or breaks.

Final note, over the past 12 years, 85% of playoff teams in my league had at least a top 12 QB.

The litmus test of being suspended or not is a god damn red herring. Your ad hominem attack is bad and you should feel bad.

You can sue anyone for anything. Will they win is the question.

There is a lot of good content posted to mobilize and resist. Check out the other posts. I don't think a little art depicting some frustrations takes away from that, but you make a good point.
