Yep. Low cost index funds. And read that book! 1) Do not try to pick stocks, and don't pay someone else to pick stocks for you. It is not cost-efficient for normal people to do this (people who are not high net worth individuals or institutional investors). 2) I've reperformed empirical...

John - thanks for all of your hard work. The stuff you and Jene do here is, in my opinion, the most valuable fantasy content available due to both the uniqueness and quality of the product. Last year I did all of my holiday shopping with my IDP winnings and I have you guys and the rest of the...

Daniel Thomas and Anthony Armstrong for Deangelo Williams and Dez Bryant most recently. This was pretty far into camp so the lack of DThomas buzz was already apparent. Came in last place last year so the bad offers have been pouring in.

I'm making a bold move. I'm getting him at 2nd round prices in an auction. Other owners are trying to squeeze me with Javon Ringer before CJ's auction is even over. I haven't even bid once. I'm taking a stance that he plays week 1 and is injury free. FF is such a crapshoot, but every year...

It's at least worth a try though - if all IP addresses are the same you can still draw the conclusion it's the same person, even if a set of different IP addresses tells you nothing. And the person may not even be aware of Tor (assuming they are cheating). If the person is cheating, then they...

Last year I tried going with only 1 QB. I figured I could survive if they had a bye in week 4 since the cut-off would still be low. Unfortunately, that QB was Tony Romo.

I'm gonna start this post with the question I came to get answered and then give a rundown of the sites I've used this year: Does anyone have an opinion on which sites have the best in-season player summaries? This is my first year playing fantasy baseball. I didn't know who half the players in...

I would like multiple daily emails - it would keep me productive at work instead of checking Twitter every 5 minutes :) I use Rotoworld for fantasy baseball and I think they are on email 51 for the week. It's an option you can turn on or off. However, even if FBG did send out an email, my...

This thread was so much better than the TV broadcasts.

The winner of my matchup determines the division champion. I started Chris Johnson, Fred Jackson, Brandon Lloyd, Dwayne Bowe for a TOTAL of 21.5. Left Bradshaw and Best on the bench.

Here's the targets breakdown from camp from Chicago Breaking Sports (Brad Biggs) CUTLER CUMULATIVE 323-of-475 .680, 10 interceptions WIDE RECEIVERS, TIGHT ENDS Name Catches Targets Short/Medium/Deep Greg Olsen: 55-of-86 (50 S, 24 M, 12 D) Devin Aromashodu: 51-of-77 (34 S, 31 M, 12 D)...

Can you guys pull David and Matt onto the show to act out Dangerous Picks That Can Damage Your Draft Part III on the air?

12 Team PPR $250 Salary Cap Contract League Team A gives: Welker ($46 at 2 years) Team B gives: Pick 1.07 in rookie draft ($10 at 1-4 years) ... Team A gives: Pick 1.07 Jerome Harrison ($5 2 years) Team C gives: Pick 1.05 ($11 at 1-4 years) ... Team A gives: Pick 1.05 Doucet ($1 4...

That site HAS to be a leaguemate's "secret weapon" that he won't tell me about. With his 4 round rookie draft last year he took: Javon Ringer, Travis Beckum, Bear Pascoe, and some guy whose name I couldn't even tie to football. He's insisting they were good picks, just long-term investments.

1) Do you see any benefit in using "non-traditional" econometrics in football now, and is there any research in the field that makes you optimistic about its use in the future? I've seen IBM commercials advertising their work with professional sports organizations in developing useful data for...
