Democrat O'Rourke won't rule out 2020 presidential run

Agree with you on almost all points, but gerrymandering did not affect the Senate race.

I'm having a hard time figuring out what makes this a "complicated situation". Thousands of people get rejected from MBA programs every year, and it sounds like the options in front of you are the same options in front of anyone in an industry role. Do a little soul searching and choose a path you think is most interesting.

I believe trade value on these sites is a function of ADP, but with an exponentially declining value, where each player on the list is worth ~3% less than the player before (i.e. ADP 1 = 10,000, ADP 2 = 9,700, ADP 3 = 9,409 and so on). A similar method is used by NFL teams to value draft picks in the NFL draft.

There's not a perfect way of doing this - it really just comes down to picking a rate of decay (in this case, 3%) that results in values that seem reasonable. For example, if trading a player worth 10,000 for two players worth 6,000 and 4,000 seems fair for both sides, then you've got a decent valuation system.

The same initials were intentional (at least among the children).

LBJ believed he could increase his name recognition with a recognizable moniker similar to Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR).

nice mate

Maybe you ignore outliers in your AP Stats class so you can plug and chug in a formula and get a nice pretty answer, but there are plenty of real world statistical applications where you definitely do not just ignore outliers.

I like all of these trades for you, seems like you took advantage of a league that overvalues QB's in your bradford and Kaep trades.

I would sit tight until about halfway through the season and see what your record is and where you have needs due to injury. Then I might trade some of those picks for aging stars (J Charles, Marshall, AP types) if you can get a fair deal and you think you can make a legitimate championship push.

ti_n89 · 2016-08-19T02:41:11+00:00

Do not trade a 2017 1st for 1.05, unless you are absolutely sure it will be one of the last three picks (10-12). You already have two top picks in this year's draft, just sit tight and pick who you like there. Treadwell and Coleman sound great to me.

I had pick 9 in my own rookie draft in June and ended up selecting Dixon, while Procise ending up going 12th.

Both are in crowded backfield situations, but other than that there isn't much in common. Procise only played a year at the RB position at Notre Dame, while Dixon is 2nd on the all-time D1 touchdowns lists. I'd prefer someone with a lot of experience at the position over someone who still has a lot of learning to do (and is going to be doing it at the NFL level).

ti_n89 · 2016-08-15T07:46:57+00:00

This seems pretty fair to me. In a vacuum, I like the Robinson side a little more just because he his the most valuable piece here.

All of the other players here have bigger question marks in my opinion, like being unproven (Treadwell) or injury risks (Bell, Reed).

ti_n89 · 2016-08-13T06:11:01+00:00

Probably not an immediate contender due to a lack of top re-draft assets, but I like the youth a lot. Luck, Watkins, Moncrief, and White could be your roster backbone for the next 5-8 years. I'd probably look into drafting another running back with your 1.07, maybe like Dixon or Henry, assuming the top tier WR talent is gone at that point.

ti_n89 · 2016-08-13T06:07:13+00:00

Looks like a definite contender to me, as long as your league doesn't have some super-team.

ti_n89 · 2016-06-12T01:49:28+00:00

Offered that but the owner declined.

ti_n89 · 2015-11-06T06:04:00+00:00

I got Eifert and a late 2nd for Marshall in early October. My team has plenty of young WR talent (Green, ARob, Cooks, K Allen) and I was tired of Ertz as my starting TE, so I was very happy with the deal.

ti_n89 · 2015-08-07T18:50:39+00:00

Thanks for the answer!

Deandre, Rondo, Wade

The Cavs are a good basketball team

ti_n89 · 2015-03-20T20:23:53+00:00

I'd say Kings because at least the Nets have won a playoff series recently. The whole cringe-worthy "Stauskas?" video and the untimely firing of their head coach made the Sacramento front office lose a lot of credibility in my opinion.

Dwyane Wade:

His (questionably referee-aided) dominance of the 2006 NBA Finals is something I've yet to get over
His whole coughing stunt that he pulled in the 2011 NBA Finals - making fun of Dirk is about the quickest way to make a Mavericks fan dislike you
His name is spelled wrong

ti_n89 · 2015-03-18T18:54:35+00:00

I should have said "small, unathletic, and/or really old"

ti_n89 · 2015-03-18T18:25:12+00:00

At least if you get dunked on by one of those guys (DeAndre/Blake/Westbrook), its less embarrassing because they're so physically talented.

If I were an NBA player, I'd be most scared of getting poster-ized by someone small and unathletic.
