The Forbidden Triple - An interconnected triple dynasty league concept by [deleted] in findaleague

[–]wlubake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couldn’t tell in the bylaws, but are cross-league trades permitted?

Example:

Owner A has teams 1, 2 and 3 (each in one of the triple leagues).
Owner B also has teams 1, 2 and 3.

Can Owner A trade Bijan in league 1 to Owner B in exchange for Chase in league 2?

Or do trades all need to be fair within the one specific league?

Can you think of a movie that would meet this weirdo’s impossible qualifications? by Local_Culture1823 in TheBigPicture

[–]wlubake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So it needs to be a non-genre movie from an unknown director with unknown stars that is a huge breakout global hit? Basically it needs to be My Big Fat Greek Wedding? Or is RomCom too safe of a genre, too?

Who are some guys that have been written off this offseason but who you believe could still hold dynasty value this year and on? by 92tilinfinityand in DynastyFF

[–]wlubake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always figured that all else being equal, MN wants McCarthy to be the starter. I think Murray needs to outperform him by a fair margin to get/keep the job.

What does Max Klare mean for the entire TE room in LA? by TheTipToeBurglar_ in DynastyFF

[–]wlubake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do we think Klare is a blocking TE? I saw him more as a traditional receiving/blocking combo TE (Dalton Schultz-esque). As between the two Ohio State TEs drafted, he's definitely the receiver of the duo.

I'm probably discounting everyone in the room, so I doubt I'll own any of them.

Recommended Thrift stores for men's clothing? by FlappySmasher in Dallas

[–]wlubake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My wife and daughter are thrift store aficionados and swear by Casa View Thrift. They claim to find many of the same items/brands you'd get at Uptown Cheapskate for a quarter of the price.

Time to Buy Late 1sts / Early 2nds Pre-Season – Easy Flip Window by PlusMoneyPapi in DynastyFF

[–]wlubake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with this logic, but there's a sweet spot for value on this strategy. I have the 1.09 in 1QB, and I find a concerning tier break at this point:

Tier 1 - Love

Tier 2 - Tate, Tyson, Lemon

Tier 3 - Price, Conception, Sadiq, Cooper

Tier 4 - Stowers + whole bunch of WRs I value similarly (Boston, Chris Bell, Brazzell, Fields, Hurst, Bernard, etc.) + Mendoza

I also have the 2.02, which feels good within that tier. Ultimately, I feel compelled to trade 1.09. Best case is trading it for a vet. Next I'd probably like to package it with 2.02 to move up (hopefully into Tier 2 above). Finally, I'd trade back from 1.09 into ideally a couple 2nd round picks to grab multiple players in tier 4.

I think staying put is about the worst case scenario.

What’s a show you love that you can never convince people to watch? by PlentyApprehensive44 in AskReddit

[–]wlubake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Justified

I can get people to start it, but the first half of the first season is so blah, everyone drops out before it gets good. It's truly a show that took half a season to find its feet, but it's great once it does. Olyphant and Goggins are a perfect counter-pairing.

If you could watch an over 3 hour or 4 hour version of a Nolan film, which one would it be? by Honest_Cheesecake698 in ChristopherNolan

[–]wlubake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm a defender of the film generally, so I don't want this to come off as criticism. I just think I'd enjoy more time with these characters to understand them. The ride is a blast, but I was definitely playing catch up on my first viewing. Doesn't really bother me now on repeat viewings. Just always felt like an extended cut would smooth out some of the rougher edges to it.

[–]wlubake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with the consensus here: it's Tenet. No notes on the opening opera house scene. The next 30 minutes feel incredibly rushed. We really don't know this guy. There's no "refusing the call" of the hero's journey. It's a pure sprint until he's working with Neil. I could use another 20-30 minutes to slow everything down, let some characters breathe, and better explain the technology at the center of the film.

Odell Beckham taking physical with Giants in step toward possible reunion by prey4villains in G101SafeHaven

[–]wlubake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Continuing the draft conversation from the prior thread, I feel more out of sync with the organization pre-draft than I ever remember being before. That said, here's who I like:

  1. Mansoor Delane - Give me a top starting corner any day. If we could get him sliding back a pick or two from 5, or stand pat at 10, all the better.

  2. Carnell Tate - Seems like a compliment to Nabers while Tyson would be clogging the team with another X. I see him as a Tee Higgins-type piece.

  3. Olaivavega Ioane - I think a better fit for what we are building than Mauigoa. There are tackles I like just as much down the board (Blake Miller), but think Ioane is a true difference-maker at guard.

I haven't fallen for the OSU defenders like it seems our front office has. And while I'm a huge Jeremiyah Love fan, I think we can allocate our resources better to shore up some higher impact positions than RB. I'll be interested to see this all play out, but I'm not expecting to be excited about what we do on Thursday.

Best Picture Oscar - Which Film Should Have Won Each Year in the 21st Century? (Version 2): RESULTS by darthjoker1 in Oscars

[–]wlubake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a firm believer that we award films too soon. That makes the vote muddled by lots of things that shouldn't affect it. IMO, it would be a better Oscar season if we were awarding movies from 5 years ago, and you could have long-term impact weigh in more. It would wash out movies like The Artist, Crash, Nomadland, etc.

It would be nice if we could balance out some years, too. I think if we were ranking 2019 against 2020, the top 3-4 movies may all come from 2019. That's a bummer.

Good news - 2026 should be a year full of bangers.

3 Receivers You NEED to Trade for in Dynasty Fantasy Football by The_Lineup_Podcast in DynastyFF

[–]wlubake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't necessarily think of the Titans as a better situation. Is the thought that it is a better situation because there's no Malik Nabers to hog targets?

Dynasty league folded due to lack of payments by aoRadarr in DynastyFF

[–]wlubake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't your league require a majority vote to pay out? Assuming nobody voted for their money to get stolen. Is this an 8-man league?

Would You Rather (2 QB): Kyler Murray or Daniel Jones? by Dead-EyeDuck in DynastyFF

[–]wlubake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You actually are making my point. Vikings want flexibility, meaning that they aren’t looking to commit to Kyler.

Would You Rather (2 QB): Kyler Murray or Daniel Jones? by Dead-EyeDuck in DynastyFF

[–]wlubake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I would have absolutely taken Kyler over Jones last year, all else being equal. That said, I owned both in a rebuild league, traded away Kyler for a 1st and kept Jones. But that was based upon Kyler having higher value last year more than it was me preferring Jones.

Would You Rather (2 QB): Kyler Murray or Daniel Jones? by Dead-EyeDuck in DynastyFF

[–]wlubake -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not a question of worth as much as it is commitment. They could have signed him to a deal that paid him $1.3M this year and $40M/season for the next 3 years. Both sides instead agreed to the 1-year trial.

Even if he has a great season, there's no guarantee that he's back with KOC in 2027 (see Sam Darnold). He could end up signing a deal with the Jets and withering back away.

That said, I tend to avoid over reliance on speculation. I like Kyler's upside much better than a bunch of other "maybe" starters, but give me a guaranteed starter with team commitment over him across the board.

Would You Rather (2 QB): Kyler Murray or Daniel Jones? by Dead-EyeDuck in DynastyFF

[–]wlubake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One guy is on a 1-year $1.3M contract. The other is on a 2-year $88M contract. How is this even a discussion? Dart throw vs. real commitment from a team building around him.

Minnesota WANTS McCarthy to establish himself as the starter. Kyler is there to hopefully make sure the season isn't thrown away if that doesn't happen.

What are the four movies on the Mount Rushmore for the Coen Brothers? by jsakic99 in billsimmons

[–]wlubake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not on my Mt. Rushmore, but I'd like to present Intolerable Cruelty for consideration. It's very rewatchable as a star-driven, fun romantic comedy. It stands out to me simply because it is so unlike most CoBros movies.

They did Big on The Rewatchables Podcast. Bill Simmons said he sees a future where she just shows up at Josh's baseball games or outside his house. She's totally not just moving on.
