    Black Friday: Raiders at Chiefs - Week 13

    A win is a win, but yeah, they didn't look that great today. To me the running game was the biggest surprise. Only 63 yds on a day when they had 2 very good/healthy RB's in there against a middle of the road run defense. With Mahomes throwing 46 times, you'd expect them to come up with more than 19 pts. But, @ the end of the day, they're still the champs until someone dethrones them.

    The most important news story of our lifetimes

    I'm not trying to hijack your thread (it's very interesting) but with all due respect, unless MMT turns out to be effective over long periods of time, none of this will matter. Modern monetary theory (MMT): Anything that is technically feasible is financially affordable. A government that creates its own currency can borrow in that currency & then pay off the resulting debt by creating more of it. What's that old saying regarding something that sounds too good to be true ? If US debt compounds at the same rate it has over the past 44 years, by 2068, it will stand at 1.190 quadrillion. If you add current & future unfunded liabilities relating to Social Security & Medicare, it could be as much as 7 or 8 x that. https://www.google.com/search?q=What+are+the+current+unfunded+liabilities+for+Social+Security+and+Medicare&client=safari&sca_esv=6ac0c05e540d04eb&ei=J21KZ7ucPMmtptQPo_G8sAM&ved=0ahUKEwj7y93A9oKKAxXJlokEHaM4DzYQ4dUDCA8&uact=5&oq=What+are+the+current+unfunded+liabilities+for+Social+Security+and+Medicare&gs_lp=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-6BgQIARgHugYGCAIQARgKkgcENi4xNaAHpNkB&sclient=gws-wiz-serp

    Black Friday: Raiders at Chiefs - Week 13

    Hopefully anyone who was forced to start Abdullah, is in a league that rewards return yards. He has 81 for the day.

    NEW - WSIS #3: RB2 = B. Hall or A. Abdullah

    Every metric favors Hall. Unless you're a militant contrarian, you have to go with him.

    Thanksgiving: Dolphins at Packers - Week 13

    Just decided to bench Tank Dell & play Waddle tonight. If history is any indicator, this should be very good news for Dell owners

    I'm wondering how many FF teams sat Laporta to play Hill this week ? Fantasy football can be cruel.

    Thanksgiving: Bears at Lions - Week 13

    What I was hoping for when I decided to play the Lions defense this week. But I'm not going to celebrate yet. The Bears scored 11 points in the last 45 seconds against the Vikings last week.

    The Feds Know What's Best

    Certainly sounds reasonable. Instead of the feds sending an EBT card loaded with $40 for every child during the summer, (much of which would probably be used on junk food) the state picks out nutritious food & instead provide families with 3 boxes of food per month rather than let families choose the meals themselves. One of the reasons the USDA denies the request is................................................ Iowa's proposal would require families to go to feeding sites to pick the boxes up. A course in my state, directly above Iowa, tampon Timmy approved free food year round, including during summer vacation. Why do we have to feed all the little bastards year around anyway ? https://www.keyc.com/2024/11/25/usda-denies-iowas-summer-ebt-proposal/

    Taysom Hill

    Can't disagree with any of that. He was inactive for at least 2 of the games where he ended up with zero points, & injured early in another. If I was in a league that allows playing him at TE & he was available, I'd be on him like a hobo on a ham sandwich! I'd take a chance & plug him in the WR/TE flex spot & bench Tank Dell

    The Feds Know What's Best

    I understand your point, but in this case it looks like one sector of government (the state of Iowa) had an idea that would be more efficient & beneficial than the plan from the USDA/federal government.

    The Feds Know What's Best

    Nothing against the kids, I was just being a smart arse with that comment. No problem with taxpayers paying for school lunch for those families that are, for lack of a better word, poor. I only had a problem with it when they extended it to include all families (regardless of income) & made it year-round. Not sure if it's like this in all states, but that's the way it works in Minnesota.

    Taysom Hill

    Like you said, we've seen this before. He's the Christian Watson of tight ends. Play him, and he'll break your heart, bench him, and he'll do the same.
