I'm sure that Ben&Jerry need a full day to pick a kicker. He's still got two Ds and a scrub TE to go, so that should take us to Friday.

Or we could just, like, never finish the draft.

Subtract one point from people's season total for every 10 minutes of delay from here on out. No excuse to not be pre-drafting, there are almost no options left.

Speaking as someone who worked at Cal for many years, graduated from Cal, and also sat through every game in the 1-10 Tom Holmoe season, I can tell you that the only public institutions Berkeley considers peers are UCLA, UNC and Michigan, probably in that order. I've also sat through Cal being...

UNC has a lot of the same problem as Cal in playing the NIL game; unlike the SEC schools and the other football powerhouses, academics are central to the institution at Berkeley and in Chapel Hill. There's no way that the governance structures will allow the school to be used by outside money in...

So you're taking Brandon Aubrey before Chuba Hubbard?

Could you Dadsplain what you mean by "it's total points and QB score the most points", in the context of VBD?

Just want to point out that this is clearly missing the point of VBD. If all the QBs score 9999 points, you should take them in rounds 17 and 18. VBD is measuring the relative difference in point potential between players, specifically accounting for the fact that different positions score...

People forgot the rules.

Of course TD's success doesn't predict Croskey-Merritt's success. And a sixth-round NFL pick, all else being equal, is less likely to succeed than a first-round NFL pick. But most sixth-round picks don't get the opportunity Croskey-Merritt is getting, and don't have as much going for them in...

There was that guy who played in Denver, what was his name...

Side note: Yahoo and ESPN are also quite bad. The whole industry runs on zombie software. Sleeper's the only one that has had any software development in the past decade.

MFL is absolutely terrible. But it's absolutely terrible in a specific way; it's a site that's built by and for serious fantasy geeks. No one else will ever provide the level of fantasy customization that MFL does. But the interface is astoundingly bad in ways that are really unfathomable in...

Anarchy's setup is strange enough that you can do pretty well just on strategic knowledge without having any actual football insight.

Yeah, it's definitely a hassle to manage your own draft as well as whatever software you're using. It's good if you can find an assistant. And have an occasional pause for beer refills and checking everyone's max bid is important, especially as you get towards the end of the auction.
