A good buddy of mine and I play this every year with a bottle of booze wagered on the side.  Neither of us seem to get too ever deep in the contest, but I think I have taken the bottle prize 5 of the last 6 years.

 
As Joe's volunteer attorney, I would like to point out that Joe's offer should NOT be interpreted as:

If you post your lineup here by noon ET Wednesday, and don't change it before lock,

I'll add a $100 price to whatever you win [even if you win zero]

and

a lifetime Football subscription if you finish in the top 100.

rather, it should be read as:

I'll add a $100 price to whatever you win and a lifetime Football subscription

IF you finish in the top 100.

/end disclaimer

(I've got your back Joe...just saved you up to $800,000!).

Joking aside, nice touch.
Just to satisfy our fix tomorrow, I feel like we should be able to post our lineup tonight, change it about 87 times tomorrow as we all will want to do but as long we end up back to the lineup that we post tonight we should be good.

I really like this team.  You will crush it at WR and your RBs are stout.

Sweetening the pot a little here for Shark Pool posters.

Prize payout structure is sweet:

If you post your lineup here by noon ET Wednesday, and don't change it before lock, I'll add a $100 prize to whatever you win and a lifetime Footballguys subscription if you finish in the top 100.
Change my strategy based on this post.  Figured adding CMAC and Brady were losing strategies.  Since the odds at the big prize are slim, I'm going to target finishing in the final 250 and hope either Covid adds a strange wrinkle or I can still finish in the upper 40% with Cmac and Brady on a s bye for one of three playoff weeks.  That lifetime subscription offer looms large IMO and dwarfs anything from 5th place down.  Obviously either of those two could bust or get injured, but $54 of the $250 not having a regular contest season bye does give a leg up in making the final 250.

Posting this again to make sure people are aware of the issue and aren't disappointed on Thursday when Calcomatic doesn't work.  Yes, being disappointed right now is better than being disappointed on Tuesday.
NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....your live scoring was the 2nd best thing about all of this.. the contest was number 1. I loved your software

 
I am a night worker, so I will forego my sleep and spend the day tweaking, so I can make sure to have my final in by noon instead of midnight.  Joe, if I fall asleep at work tonight, I am blaming it on you!

 
Was about to post....and then changed it to this instead.  Um this is literally the first combination where I have Brees :unsure:

First time I've ever posted a roster before the deadline.  But with Joe B being so generous - why the heck not :shrug:

Change my strategy based on this post.  Figured adding CMAC and Brady were losing strategies.  Since the odds at the big prize are slim, I'm going to target finishing in the final 250 and hope either Covid adds a strange wrinkle or I can still finish in the upper 40% with Cmac and Brady on a s bye for one of three playoff weeks.  That lifetime subscription offer looms large IMO and dwarfs anything from 5th place down.  Obviously either of those two could bust or get injured, but $54 of the $250 not having a regular contest season bye does give a leg up in making the final 250.
The funny thing for me is that I don't even play fantasy football anymore. I just want the lifetime subscription so I can enter the two contests each year. 

 
I usually spend way too much time with this contest.  I decided to wing it and see if I make it to the promise land.........most likely a visit from the Turk week 4 or 5  :lol:

I am in a total of zero money leagues this year.  Just a single free work league with 7 other friends.  This and the playoff contest are the reason I am here.

Ready for this monkey wrench?  You know how I have been touting the cheap kicker theory all along?  Well, turns out the last 2 contest winners had the same 2 kickers each, and they weren't cheap.

 
Gotta lock this bad boy in. More willing to take slow potential starts who come on late this year, and tried to snag week 5/6 byes where I could too. Maybe I get lucky. Surviving week 8 will be the real test I think.

Ugh - reposting, still under Joe's deadline. Stupid kicker cuts.
