What do you guys think about that awesome young badass RB out of Wisconsin being dropped and not even claimed off waivers?

Poor Montee Ball can't even make an NFL roster.

Shows how good our offensive line has been over the years. All our backs get drafted and OL are nfl all pros. How's purdoo

Most epic thread kill of all time.

lol

Keep on keepin' on lads.

Where do you go to school?

[Orlando1234977]

Cowardice: being so afraid to lose your only butt buddy in the thread, but being unable to express it in the public domain because you have the social aptitude(s) of an oaf.

+ I've called you much worse than that in the public domain you lil crybaby.

Yeah, we already knew the running backs were nothing special. About time to figured it out lol

Their is this older man in my office. This man applies icy hot or Bengay in the bathroom. This man, hopefully before applying the cream, drops a deuce in the bathroom. Getting hit with the smell of icy hot and shiit is something I never knew existed.

Aye. Nice guy, too.

I wish Mikey felt that way, been trying to slip him a WR1 for one.

I'm surprised your trying to trade Antonio Brown. Interesting.


'cause, you know, that's your only WR1

I think ole Mikey is on to something

[Orlando1234977]

I think ole Mikey is on to something

He is, he wants to keep Melvin Gordon III.

[therorschach]

That new wonders woman reminds me of a young Famke Jannsen.

[therorschach]

galoshes/overshoes: yay or nay (or gay)?

Orlando I haven't had a chance to really look into anything between drunken wedding/honeymoon days, I get back 9/10 which doesn't help for week one but we can chat after!

Yeah autodraft soft of screwed you with the unproven rookie back that nobody wanted and was your 4th pick. UW backs don't pan out in the pros. I'll take him off your hands for K. Allen. Give it some thought but enjoy your wonderful time.

A trade made on Thursday should work for week 1. Neither player is in the Thur game.

I use commish approval for trades (or no approval at all, depending, not even sure which it is) so trades can be done all the way through Saturday night or even Sunday morning and still be immediately effectively, none of that multi day waiting period and going a weekend of games with the trade "made" but not executed bull****

Melvin Gordon is still better than Jordy Nelson and Julius Thomas in auto draft.

Got Zach Ertz too B-)

Anyone ever do Draft Kings or Fan Duel?

[chazzy1864]

Anyone ever do Draft Kings or Fan Duel?

I personally haven't. A good buddy of mine does it and keeps trying to get me into it each year. He says that I'm good enough at fantasy that I could make money with it.

[Final_Rep]

The arctic is freezing now, soon it will be a white, barren landscape.

I find this strangely enjoyable.

Done both prefer DKs...I have some cash too, no huge payouts yet.

Those "we match your first $200" ads are misleading. You have to deposit $200, before you get $200. And what you get is credits, not actual cash you can have paid out.

So re: how much money you've put in, are you ahead or behind? Just curious.

Seems like those sites can only do business if most people lose money.

Or does the site not actually take a percentage and they just charge you for "use" of the site like a subscription, and any time you lose money it's only to other players?

<never played

The design is similar to an simplified insurance operation. Payments (to play) go into a designated pool with defined payouts already established. Overall (not including petty or membership fees), the difference between the payments to play and payouts guaranteed is their profit, similar to a premium pool being larger than a claim payout over time. The difference is insurance companies need actuaries to predict the payout scale and frequency, these boys don't. -o

I love that the UIGEA deemed online Fantasy Sports a game of skill, therefore when done for money it's not illegal gambling, meanwhile sports betting (online or not) is still considered illegal as far as I can tell.

Fundamentally, I can't see any difference between the two. Either way you're still betting on the performance of an athlete or team or a group of them. And individual sports betting seems to require just as much skill as Fantasy Sports.

The line is reallllly blurred.

Any and all of that being illegal is stupid AF

[Final_Rep]

Any and all of that being illegal is stupid AF

Mostly agreed. People should be allowed to do whatever they want with their money as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. Can't see how this would hurt anyone.

What should be illegal is any kind of insider betting, rigging, etc. That's plainly obvious, but really hard to enforce in the online stuff... except for when the bets are based on reality, which sports bets inherently are. I was always really suspicious of the online poker sites and just how "random" their card decks were really being dealt. Enough so that I could never really get into it. Way too easy for some shady international company to rig the deck in their favor, create bot players who get great cards, etc.

Parens patriae, my child. We know what is best.

Rorschach: I wear overshoes in wintertime when walking outside in my dress shoes. I don't mind being in the rain, but I wear them to keep the salt and similar crap off of the leather.

Frep: Appreciate the BBQ invite but I already had RSVP'd for two right in my area, so there was no way I could get up there that day.

Kavak: Have you actually made that pizza/burrito monstrosity yet? Don't just post other people's photos, but do it god damn it.

Toc: Congratulations!

[ThickAsABrick]

Darinaldi: That was nice of you to pretend you couldn't hang out with Frep due to a previous commitment.

[im2manly]

TAAB: That is just the type of guy Darinaldi is.
