FFPC dynasty and redraft thread
phandango replied to barackdhouse's topic in The Shark Pool (NFL Talk)
You can definitely win in 1QB FFPC leagues by streaming the position. I lost Dak in two leagues. In the first one, I still finished as the top seed. In the second league, I still made the playoffs. In 1QB head-to-head leagues, unless I have two top-10 QBs (which is pretty much never), I keep only one QB at cutdown. In 1QB best-ball leagues, I'll keep two QBs, because more of them tend to be rostered. Last year, I drafted Burrow at the 2.10 because my only other QB was Brady. I was able to flip Burrow and Jarwin for Dak. So If Lawrence falls to the 2nd and there's no one else intere -
FFPC dynasty and redraft thread

I've been playing the FFPC format since 2011 and dynasty since 2017. It's probably my favorite platform right now. I think Pitts will go in the top six in 1QB leagues, depending on landing spots for the RBs who aren't Etienne and Najee. My feeling on rookie TEs in FFPC leagues is that it's so incredibly hard to use those roster spots to hold on to them. It's so rare for a rookie TE to contribute right away, even with supposed can't-miss prospects like Hockenson and Fant, but in order to land guys like that, you have to draft them in the first round. Ideally, you want your first-round pic -
Streaming or currently airing TV shows (AKA Netflix thread)
phandango replied to KCC's topic in Footballguys Free For All
I can't say enough how unexpectedly moving this was. My wife suggested it, and the rest of us (me and my 10th-grade daughter and sixth-grade son) were like "uh sure I guess," but it was really, really well done. One of the best things we've watched in months. -
"Cobra Kai" -- The Karate Kid Series sequel
phandango replied to gianmarco's topic in Footballguys Free For All
I loved the part in Season 3 with all the parents in the school auditorium, right after Daniel says something, a guy in the back yells, "I heard you were the REAL bully!" One of the most enjoyable parts of the show is how the writers keep it self-aware. -
I'm of the opposite view. I think that saying Twitter censored Trump is loaded. If the government bans certain speech or speakers, that's censorship. Twitter isn't the government. Twitter didn't "censor" Trump any more than NFL teams "censored" players by prohibiting kneeling during the anthem. Now, if Twitter got together with other major social media companies and decided to blacklist every conservative user of any prominence, I feel that would rise to censorship, but that's not what happened here. Twitter didn't take away Trump's right to speak. He's just not allowed to use Twitter's platfo

What Twitter did wasn't censorship.

Perhaps this was already pointed out in other threads, but the NFC South is scheduled to play the AFC East next season, which means Brady vs the Pats. Unfortunately, the game will be in Foxboro, which means it can't be scheduled as the Thursday night season-opener (which is typically hosted by the reigning champ).

My wife has set up her home office in our bedroom. Neither of us wanted a TV in there, but she sometimes needs to watch CNBC for work, so we put our game room TV in the bedroom, and I bought a 55-inch LG CX OLED from Costco. (I wanted to get a bigger TV, but I have in-wall speakers in that room and the 65-inch would partially block the speakers.) Man, this is a nice TV. It replaced a Vizio, and I can definitely notice the difference. The PS5 looks great on it, too.

These are pricier than other cords, but I just put them in after upgrading our TV, and they seem to work great. Maybe the existing cords I have also would have worked, but I run the cables through the wall, and I didn't want to have to do it more than once, so I spent the money on the premium cables. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07S196T4Z/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Ticketmaster fees.... are you kidding me?
phandango replied to HERBERT THE HIPPO's topic in Footballguys Free For All
There's three of us going to this show at Petco Park in San Diego. We bought the tickets when they first went on sale -- in September 2019. For what it's worth, these were our fees: USD $5.00 (Order Processing Fee) USD $4.00 (Facility Charge) x 3 USD $19.95 (Service Fee) x 3 My daughter is really into My Chemical Romance, which was supposed to play their reunion tour last year. It got postponed to later this year, so I was looking at upgrading our seats. They're "Platinum Tickets," so I clicked the description: "Platinum Tickets are tickets that are dynami -
Will Trump pardon everyone involved in the Capitol riots?
phandango replied to Willie Neslon's topic in The Politics Forum
Trump has fostered the narrative that his supporters are constantly victimized, merely by virtue of being his supporter. This is a perfect example. -
Reminds me of when my wife and I were watching Game of Thrones years ago, and we were talking about something about the show and she said, "Well, back then ..." and I said, "Wait, what do you mean, 'back then'?"
