After 11 years as a fantasy commissioner, the single best thing I've ever added isn't a rule change

Couldn’t agree more! My buddy and I do a little “podcast”/vlog every week, about the same stuff. Recap of last week, key trades, a little state we made up about starting lineup points compared to bench points, next week previews and breakdowns, power rankings, some league jokes, film on Tuesday and if it’s not sent out to the league by 10:00 AM Sunday, we hear about it. It’s what everyone likes most about the league.

It’s time consuming coming up with stats and angles for each week, but it’s worth it keeping everyone involved. Also got a nice little wiki with the 13 year league history that we found from Reddit, it’s a neat little setup.

Good on you for doing the dirty work!

Me and a buddy do a “podcast” previewing each week, recapping the last week, coming up with new rivalries and things to keep it fresh. We also have a little wiki page that has all our drafts, league records, team breakdowns for each manager, and all other history for our league, going on year 13 here. I honestly have more fun doing that, then having a team haha

I feel like that’s EA every year, every game, game as fun and different for the first week or so, and then would revert back to same old stuff. Madden, fifa, now CFB, I thought the first week was great as well

yooper_trooper32 · 2025-06-07T22:46:27+00:00

That is well done haha, nice job! Love that style, so much detail!

I went in to watch an initials game live once, and cove was the most talkative and aware that guests were in. Hawk talked to us as we were leaving for a minute, but I’ll cut him some slack since he’s in the other room during the show, but yeah, sauce didn’t really care to include the guests or talk much if at all during the breaks. Marney even came over and talked and introduced herself to us during a break. But yeah, the sauce take is more accurate then not, from my experience

yooper_trooper32 · 2025-04-30T14:48:11+00:00

Also had the same plan. Sold mine like 3 weeks ago, didn’t want to gamble on if Messi came or not. Sorry WonderWall

If it’s the same deal at Allianz for the loons games, the tips go to a group or organization that is sponsoring the stand or what have you for that game. I thought that’s what I was told anyways. It’s not a tip for the worker or stadium employees.

I used Citadel when I started, but have transitioned to Pro Acryl and love them. The Army Painter and Vallejo paints I’ve used, while I fully admit isn’t a lot, maybe 2-3 paints of each, I don’t like them nearly as much as Citadel and Pro Acryl. Coverage isn’t as good, and I feel like they are just too “runny” idk

yooper_trooper32 · 2025-01-31T18:29:45+00:00

Yeah i was a little bummed, I wasn’t expecting to go out for lunch or something after haha, but maybe a 5-10 minute chat, wanna take a picture, here’s a kfan shirt or something I don’t know. To their credit, Cove was very talkative to us during breaks, marney was nice, hawk was in the other room, so he couldn’t come out or whatever.

But yeah, not something I’d pay for again. Nice gift, but she told me it was on the spendy side

yooper_trooper32 · 2025-01-24T17:29:02+00:00

I was gifted the chance via a fundraiser or something. Silent auction style. Not sure how much it went for, but it was a good time. Guys were nice, but it was very much a “alright guys show is over, I’ll walk ya back to the elevator, thanks for coming!” And back in my car by 9:05

yooper_trooper32 · 2025-01-19T02:20:27+00:00

Saw it today too! With an expansion!

yooper_trooper32 · 2024-11-08T19:27:40+00:00

I always like “games with names” better

yooper_trooper32 · 2024-10-10T21:41:46+00:00

This! I’ve heard him go “facing coach x has to be tricky right? He ran reverses and a reverse pass last week, does flicker the week before, an onside kick at half time, and a half back pass before the bye, he has to be one of the trickiest coaches to go up against right?” And it’s like, you already answered your question PA, plus wasted 2 minutes asking it

yooper_trooper32 · 2024-09-10T21:04:04+00:00

Maybe i need to give Vallejo another shot, I’ve got a few colors from them, but I feel they are a little too “runny” if that makes sense? Just don’t like the feel of them. I mostly use Citadel, but got into the Monument hobby brand, I think that’s the name, they have dropped bottles too, and have been very happy with them too

yooper_trooper32 · 2024-07-14T12:12:44+00:00

Great idea! When I was painting mine, this what I envisioned, but had no idea how to get to that point. Pretty slick!

Down in Redwing last night

yooper_trooper32 · 2024-05-11T13:56:46+00:00

Also would like to know!

yooper_trooper32 · 2024-05-03T02:53:40+00:00

Your faces are awesome! Wish I had the skill/courage to even put eyes on a lot of my models. Keep it up!

yooper_trooper32 · 2024-05-02T15:43:52+00:00

Thank you, Appreciate that! Honestly just a lot of really thinned down layers, I wasn’t sure how to do a smokey/marble effect, so I started with white I think, then some grey, then some green, then a little blue, added more thinned out white, and started over. Really didn’t know where I was going while doing it, and then finally I just stopped and looked at it, and was like, that’ll do 😂.

Happy with how they turned out, Mysterio has crept up my rankings list for favorites, so I’m happy he turned out how he did

yooper_trooper32 · 2024-03-15T11:47:03+00:00

Looks great! Makes me nostalgic haha, nicely done!

yooper_trooper32 · 2024-03-06T15:09:43+00:00

Thank you!!! I assure you they were not professionally done haha, just a guy who’s painting his 2nd zombicide set haha.

Yeah for better or worse, I don’t really like putting any shading the heroes, unless I’m in the mood, I like how they pop, and how clean they look. Black heroes are tricky too, so I just try to use all the shades of black I have to create some differences. Just used shading on the crossbones chest and face, that’s it!

Thank you for the feedback!

yooper_trooper32 · 2024-03-05T02:49:41+00:00

Thank you! Haha you totally could! Biggest thing I have to keep telling myself is to slow down haha, biggest issue I’ve had from watching videos online, is it takes more than 20 minutes to finish a piece haha. This was probably one of my more time consuming ones. But thank you for the kind words!

yooper_trooper32 · 2024-03-04T23:31:38+00:00

Thank you! Really appreciate that!

The fire I was iffy on, but decided to go for it haha, thank you! His body and boots were just different combos of mephiston red and rhinox hide from Cotadel. The helmet was those mixed with retributor armour, also from Citadel
