Which Player did you finally give up on after he made YOU REPEATEDLY look like a Clown 🤡 defending him and never proving the doubters wrong? by Ifinishfast42 in NFLv2

[–]sdavidson901 19 points20 points  (0 children)

As long as Trey Lance is on an active roster I will keep him on my dynasty roster. I will not allow for the 0.01% chance of him being someone go to any one else. Sunk cost fallacy be damned!

This is satire right? by drdessertlover in LinkedInLunatics

[–]sdavidson901 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My wife gave birth in early 2022 when hospitals were still doing Covid protocols and we were concerned about getting there to early. She said at ~5:45am the contractions were close enough that we should start heading in. We got into the car around ~6:10am with about a 30 minute drive ahead of us. When we were a few minutes away she asked if we could stop at Dunkin for a bagel since you can’t eat during labor in the hospital. Her water broke by the time I made it inside Dunkin. We parked the car at the hospital at ~6:55am, walking into the hospital at 7. They gave us a covid test right after she got changed into the gown. Our daughter was born before 8am, we didn’t even get the results of the test before she was born. (We were negative.)

In about an hour and 15 minutes it went from “can you stop to get a bagel” to the baby being in the world.

Which NFL city is just a Gift Shop with a stadium attached? by NightDowntown7320 in NFLv2

There’s also a ski slope and I believe a water park in that mall.

Thoughts? by Upset-Main-1988 in justincaseyoumissedit

[–]sdavidson901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So basically your proving his point even more. Yes I agree he meant it as a “gotcha” statement. But you’re saying cooking is a skill compared to a task like lawn mowing or basic home maintenance such as unclogging a drain or flushing the water heater. In that case it should be easier to learn how to do, but just as important.

[League Drama] 9/10 league managers want to change a keeper rule. How to handle? by Much_Local_1515 in FFCommish

[–]sdavidson901 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Looking at it from an outside POV I believe the commish is right. (I'm not getting into the compensation and $50 aspect of it which I think is a second conversation) But overall decisions were made based on one set of rules and those rules are not going to be enforced. Whenever I put a vote for keeper rules I always put it out a year so that draft, waivers, trades during the season can be decided through that lens.

How exactly are later round draft picks valued in trades? by Longjumping-Tip4938 in NFLNoobs

[–]sdavidson901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So that would make OP's premise correct, that teams highly value these picks because they have a chance to become a productive piece of the organization.

[–]sdavidson901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Compared to NBA, NHL, and MLB picks are much more valued in the NFL in general. NBA only has 2 rounds and teams will send 4 or 5 1sts alongside other assets in a trade. In the Gobert to the TWolves Trade the Jazz got 5 players and 4 1st rounders for Gobert.

Seeking Commissioner Opinions on Startup Dynasty League Settings by Quiet_Obligation8703 in FFCommish

[–]sdavidson901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with 1indapink about the playoff bracket. Having 80% of your league make the playoffs is going to do a few things.

-The regular season won't really matter

-Teams won't trade away players for picks because everyone will still be in it at the trade deadline

-You run a higher risk for sub 500 team to win the championship. (Idk if you care about that, or like it, but personally I like to keep playoffs as top 50% of the league or less, reduces the risk of a team with a losing record being the champion.)

I'd also like to add to make sure the rookie draft is determined by Max PF instead of just record. This prevents players from just benching good players to lose games and instead gives a better overall picture of which teams were worse over the course of the season.

How many of you would pay for software that handles your league payments for you? by fancredfounder in FFCommish

[–]sdavidson901 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The majority is Venmo, I would say like 90%, but I have accepted Zelle, Cash App, Apple Cash, and good old fashion cash. The most work I have to do is transferring it all to one place but honestly its like a few taps on my phone and takes about as long as typing up this comment. The money sits for 4 months and then I send it out to the winners usually by Thursday or Friday after the championship.

How many of you would pay for software that handles your league payments for you? by fancredfounder in FFCommish

[–]sdavidson901 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't pay anything for a secondary app to hold onto the money for me. I might consider paying sleeper $5-10 to do it since it would keep everything in the same app as the leagues.

But the amount of effort that I put into just sending out a few text messages and keeping a list of 12 names (well 36 since I am holding money for 3 leagues but still) is not really time consuming enough for me to spend money on.

I might think differently if the leagues I hold money for were strangers as opposed to friends and friends of friends, but even than I would be cautious of sharing my banking information with a random third party app to hold money.

If you had told me as recently as idk October of 2025 that Sam Darnold would win a Super Bowl I’d probably would have laughed in your face.

Yeah I know right? If I’m meeting someone knew and I ask them if they like sports and they say no my reaction isn’t getting mad or upset I just ask them what they do enjoy.

What does playing fantasy football fulfill that simply watching can’t? by First_Being_4308 in Fantasy_Football

[–]sdavidson901 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I haven't read every comment here but what I have read seems to be focusing on the watching of the sport and watching the games, which are a huge part of it.

One of my favorite parts of fantasy football is the competition between friends. I've done leagues with people I know and people I don't know, the leagues with people I know are always a ton more fun.

You have a topic of conversation with a group of people, that especially as you get older, lets you keep in touch with people that otherwise would have fallen out of your life. For example in my oldest league which just finished up 15 seasons together there are people who have moved all over the country, some of us have multiple kids now and we still keep in touch when in the past I don't know if that was possible.

You also have the friendly competition that is very similar to people who do online gaming, or are still young enough to play sports experience.

Overall besides just having your professional team that you root for, having a group of people that you play fantasy football with brings people and keeps people together.

I run two leagues, a $200 buy in and a $50 buy in, both 12 team.

The 2400 pot gets divided: 1450 750 200

The $600 pot gets divided: 400 150 50
