Did you see this about Will Reichard's kick yesterday? Crazy no one noticed it hit a wire. Ruined his perfect record on the season and cost me 5 points. Could have been even worse if Minnesota hadn't won the game.

Oh, dude, I saw that live but I thought he just shanked it viciously. I was actually checking on our game, too. Wild. That could have cost them the game.

I have to admit to not reporting it but it has nothing to do with feelings for the board, but the sort of grim specter of AI and techno-acceleration in general. It's sad that we have to chase the technology and perfect it before others or evil people will be the first to use it with a mastery we cannot, and they may very well kill us if we are woefully unprepared.

That's a really dark thing, so when I see a bot with a smiling avatar (it saw fit to select a picture for itself) inviting me to watch a "match" of football (it's so cute when it thinks we're in Europe) on a bootleg streaming channel while having scanned the text title of the thread to sound relatable, then I laugh. Doubtlessly I do.

In one of my Sleeper leagues, I've had high scores yet lost by .05 and .02 points in two separate weeks. I better stop walking underneath ladders.

But this is mainly why I much prefer total points leagues, which my main league uses.

Bots have become a significant problem. The way to combat them is for everyone to report them. That will help us clear them. But if we don't stay adamant about it, I can see that they could have a really negative impact. Thanks.

Dang it, I'm fixing my roster without my reading glasses on, and I just picked up kicker Borregalas, but I meant to drop Tyler Loop.

Instead I somehow dropped Tyrod Taylor. Can the Commish fix that for me? Otherwise I'll just put in a waiver claim, hopefully it would go through OK.

Now, to think about what rhymes with Borregalas. . .

I'm pretty sure you'd get the backup QB on the worst team in the league back on waivers for $0.

Picked up this guy overnight:

RB Hassan Haskins, LAC

St. Louis kid gets a St. Louis singer -- Billy Davis.

Song: "Stoned Soul Picnic", The Fifth Dimension

 

[Yo Mama]

Wow, $65 for Haskins. I missed out on both chargers RBs this week. Oof.

 

[Yo Mama]

So I picked up a defense that I had previously dropped. Can I use the same song or do I need a new one?

 

[kupcho1]

Wouldn't the same song already be on the playlist?

I'd see it as an opportunity to add one, but you do you.

 

[Doug B]

Wow, $65 for Haskins. I missed out on both chargers RBs this week. Oof.

I overshot badly ... I always missed out on guys (esp RBs) in this league because I never bid enough. Still haven't figured out blind bidding for waivers.

I've been having to start Blake Corum regularly, so you know I was desperate.
