Beating both Demented and Groose in a FANtasy League year feels like it should be some unlocked achievement lmfao Didn't beat the third piece of that puzzle though, did ya? (In case you or others here didn't know, I'm Groose's older brother...used to be a LOT more active on here than I am now, and started a new account a few years back hence the low post count).

- The Business Hurts... it really does. And once again their team bottomed out against Groose who just got over the 100 point total for this one but still won comfortably. Some retooling will be on tap if the 2-7 team has any hopes on a Playoff run. They get the Sharks next who arguably have had an even worse time than they have... As mentioned before, Groose faces my team next. Pal, my ENTIRE SEASON has been "retooling".

OK, I think we all need to calm down on the waiver/free agency business this morning.

Toilet Paper Roll You would have two wins in a row if you just paid attention to your roster. Why in gods name was Ekeler still on the bench over Hines? Lmfao I can’t get into my roster. I have it on my junk email account which got hacked and deactivated Send me a PM on here with a replacement email address you want to use and I can get that swapped around.

There's a joke to be made about my team's luck and Ridley's announcement, but legit hope he gets the help he needs. Take your time, Calvin. Nobody deserves not having their mental well-being together.

And as soon as I play Toney, off to the locker room he goes.
I hate football.

He hasn’t officially been ruled out yet. That makes sense... Yep. He has to be out, IR or N/A (which is usually used for cut/released players). Anything else (even doubtful), he can't be placed there.

Didn’t know this existed! I want in next year Stay tuned around mid/late July next year, that's when I usually make the league and announce when registration is open. I might do it a little earlier next year to get some feedback on what to do with the league next year.

I mean, I was the person that drafted and dropped Conner. So taking a RB I dropped already and downgrading at TE wasn't happening for me. I was willing to take a hit at TE to sew up my RB position a little bit, but I'd have taken a hit at TE and RB for nothing, the way I saw it. I forgot you dropped Connor actually. My bad. Oh, not a problem. Just, he didn't appeal to me.

Powerline Ok I get it I guess I suck at trading lol I was still open to counter offers but you didn't really let me know if it was "This or nothing". I can't give up Carson. He's my most reliable back. I mean, I was the person that drafted and dropped Conner. So taking a RB I dropped already and downgrading at TE wasn't happening for me.

I'm gonna level a criticism, after reading about the alternate endings. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}At the end of the day, your choices don't matter.
It all basically boils down to who you leave/stay with. The interractions with the rest of the town barely matter, which is a shame.
Sure, you get them coming to see you off or not, but that's it.
Would have been nice if we had like, Diane managing to avoid blame. Or even failing to get Jed arrested if the town all dislike you. Or even the town forcing Alex out rather than her having the choice.
I had Duckie, Charlotte etc stick up for me. But, even if I didn't, it seems like the end result would have been the same.
Same as condemn or forgive Jed. That needed something major to hang on it. A suicide would have been a dig consequence---Jed killing himself and Ryan blaming Alex for it or something.
Great game, but the overall lack of consequences and choices in hindsight is disappointing. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}It’s exactly like the first game. At the end of the day, none of your choices change the ending whatsoever. The second game actually took account of your choices resulting in multiple possible endings. But most of the players complained and they went back to the choices not mattering method.
{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}For me, I'd have been fine with the multiple endings in LiS2 except that all but a couple of them included something awful happening to the main characters. And you had to play the game a specific way doing things that affected the ending, but without any direct or even indirect connection. A decision or something you did/didn't interact with in, say Chapter 3, could determine if you got through the ending without a problem or if someone got killed, even though the scenario doesn't change at all.
I prefer them not doing that than doing it the way 2 did, but I'd have most preferred just being more logical about it.
I'd also have been fine with maybe a bad ending or being ultimately "ran out" if you didn't interact with others aside from your immediate task or something like that; if you played to avoid everyone or screw things up, then you'd get a bad ending.

Mmkay... I've cooled down a bit Still just beside myself that this shit continues to happen to me in Fantasy Football and the fact I'm looking at the basement of the league because of the worst luck imaginable. I really... really need to not be screwed over for a third week in a row with some f***ing ungodly performance by the opponents players. I seriously only had two players under 10 points this week. My opponent had FIVE. I shouldn't be f***ing 0-2. I should be enthused about next week and not trying to find any reason to care. I'll probably get sniped in Waiver Wire this week too given my luck... Just... really wanted a better first impression in the FANtasy League. And it ain't the fault of anyone here... it just sucks. I have to face the best team in the league next week and I have zero confidence I can do anything after this f***ing shitshow. I'd say here's hoping... but hope dies when Aaron Jones scores 4 f***ing touchdowns. Two of which happen because of a Pass Interference on a 3rd and Goal... and a f***ing Detroit Fumble... near back to back from one another. I had several jip games last year. I could've sworn DJ Chark's performance was solely to piss me off. I had him and he never scored more than 10 points when I played him, and never scored UNDER 10 points when I sat him. I had a TON of games last year where I lost by hardly anything; literally the combined point difference between me being 7-6 and 4-9 (the latter being where I ended up) was, less than 1 rushing TD. The in-joke between me, Groose, and Demented was basically "DJ Chark is personally responsible for keeping me out of the playoffs". It's part of the game. The fact your overall points are that high indicate to me you might be getting your harder games out of the way now and it'll square out later. It's only Week 2 anyway. Lots of football left to play.

It actually has one in the Forum Games Forum, but if that thread were moved here by a mod, that would work. I'd request it in AskaMod. I think the fantasy leagues should be kept to their own separate groups/threads so things don't get cluttered or confusing. Especially if there are overlaps in people who joined each one. We've had overlap in the past, but it's whichever you all wanna do. I won't discourage it one way or the other.

Yes please. I went all of last season only knowing who about half the teams actually were. Lmao Powerline You wanna get on this? Looks like it'd be a good idea. ......I did it because I wanted to, not because you told me to.

Just stepped into a Mock... back half of the draft can be a wasteland I always draft rookies and second year guys at the very end. You can always pick up a utility guy and in a league as big as this if you eat a ton of injuries you’re screwed any way For me, it depends. I can't justify spending a Round 1 or 2 pick on a rookie (NO WAY I get Najee Harris at his ADP). But if I have a couple WRs and someone like Devonta Smith falls to me, I might take that bet. If my first pick at a position is a rook, I've screwed up somewhere.

Tomorrow night at 8 ET is the draft! If you haven't tried already, click this link to test your system: football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/draftclient/checkIf you get a green checkmark, your system/browser setup is good to go for the draft without any adjustments needed. The Yahoo lobbies apparently now have video chat, but I've yet to see it in action. So I have no clue if anyone will want in on that.
