25-year-old me would have loved this league. Today's me wants to take a nap after looking at all of that. For a league like yours, stick with what works imo.

Used to use MFL and loved it. Now using Sleeper and I'm shocked at how little I miss everything else. App and website both work fine for the past three seasons. I do think MFL is priced reasonably, even with the increases. It's still not even $10 a team, even for a 10-team league. Good value...

I'm glad this was bumped, because I was able to re-read my posts and see how smart I was back in 2011. I don't think I'm that smart now. Still, my point remains valid: NFL teams are not loyal to fans. They'll take every penny they can from you. Not to "make a profit." To "make as much profit...

I'm sure there are entities that can quantify it. Didn't we hear about the $330 million in brand value Taylor Swift gave the NFL? That's not a concrete number, but there are ways to get an estimate.

You could hire independent auditors. Instead of letting the kids "hustle for whatever sponsor they can get" or letting the biased schools do the calculating. I'm just trying to find a way to get athletes compensated for NIL without turning college sports into a semi-pro league. Probably too late.

Why can't NIL be calculated afterward, based on the actual cost of licensing name, image and likeness? As in, do the actual accounting to see what the value was for that player, then pay them the value calculated? That way it becomes something other than a signing bonus, and players still get...

Very cool. Thanks. As an aside, the Arena Football League is also coming back this spring, with 16 teams. So anyone who wants to watch a little more football will have plenty of options.

This is awesome. Not only would I fail at performing this task...I didn't even read this entire post. But I have full faith in your overall evaluation, and that's what I'll take with me. Again, thank you.

Just want to encourage Lions fans to enjoy this moment: You get to ponder your team's options as one of the few favorites to reach the Super Bowl. You get to discuss their needs as possibly being the final piece to a championship. You get to legitimately discuss your team as being as likely as...

I shouldn't be surprised that a third of the people will disagree with just about any premise, so I guess the poll makes sense. I still don't see a rationale for receiving. Going second controls everything. If the first team didn't score, you win with a FG. If they scored a FG, you win with a...

When you have a lead against Kansas City, and your running game is working, and you have the best back in the game, it should be lopsided in favor of the run game. Should have been closer to 20 pass attempts than 38. His dad knew to have John Elway just hand off to Terrell Davis and get out of...

So glad I didn't come in last. I was sure I had. I'll take it! Thanks again for doing it.

Buccaneers 31 Chiefs 9 Looking better and better every year...

He sure has. So did Garrett Wilson last season. Did it really matter?

Good points. I just totally disagree. The QB free agents you mentioned sound like serious downgrades to me. In fact, they all sound like decent backups to Mayfield. But we'll see.
