Tremendous lack of talent on the line and on the perimeter probably had a lot to do with it.

When I was 10, I was brought to a Mr. Mister concert (Bangals opened). I saw Elton John once (by himself). Saw Elton John/Billy Joel 3 times. That's it.

If by "un-American", you mean "anti-Communist", then yes. Fly your Hammer and Sickle flag proudly comrade.

Haven't drank a cup of coffee in 32 years. Was 13, the last time I drank any.

Sounds good. Let's do it.

My limited knowledge of college football tells me no. The way it sounds to me in the countries football landscape is... the NFL, then Ohio State, then the rest of the NCAA. There's a substantial drop at each level.

Still waiting. Game start yet? Don't recall seeing the Bucs play. Did the game get moved to tonight?

Sure, that happened in my keeper league as well. It's because the guy who had Kelce, kept him because he initially got him quite late in the draft and was able to keep him at a deal. Looking over my notes, the guy drafted him in 2015, in the 16th round (our draft is 20 rounds). I'm guessing all keeper leagues work this way, where the players round value doesn't go up until after he's kept? That's how ours works. So, in 2016, that's what Kelce was, a 16th round pick. In 2017, he's 14th, then 12th in '18, 10th in '19, 8th in '20, 6th in '21, and 4th in '22. Every year, he's a value. The guy who drafted him, stoped after the 2021 season. He traded him though in that off-season whom that guy paid a the 4th round pick. While a value, the worst of all the years. In re-draft leagues though, I don't recall more than a couple seasons where the guy who drafted Kelce in R1 or R2 made the playoffs. I've been in the same 4 leagues since 2010. I can count on 1 hand how many times the guy who drafted Kelce won the championship. So from 2015 to 2024... 40 years of leagues, less than 5 (I think three), times, did the Kelce drafter, win the championship. At least twice as many, won with Kelce, because they traded for him.

Here's what I've experienced in those years with Kelce. The team who had him, was always in playoffs... for a team who traded for him.

What rounds were Rico Dowdle, Javonte Williams, Trevor Etienne draft in? How about Pickens, Egbuka, or McMillian?

In 2 other games, he got over 14 points. Last year, he averaged about 15. I'd say those 2 are fine as well. In addition to that, in the other 3 games that he played, he was playing injured. If you're starting an injured player, regardless of position, you should expect lower production. The fact that he got you almost double digit points is still "acceptable". Is it desired? No, but I'd rather have a guy getting about 10 points in games he's injured than playing TE roulette on the waiver wire hoping to find a guy who would do that. Injuries happen all the time. Any player you draft, at their position, can get hurt and yield returns that aren't ideal. I'm never going to sit here and say that people should draft TE's before round 7 or 8, regardless of who the TE is, because if they do get hurt, you've really put yourself behind the 8-ball. That said, if you take one and get production that is "acceptable", then all is well. The person who drafted Tucker Kraft, I'm sure isn't too happy about his TE position, regardless of where he drafted him. Outside of that person being the one who drafted Bowers, McBride, or Kittle early, I don't envision any of them having another TE on their roster when Kraft got hurt and now they're juggling FA/WW TE's every week. Point being as mentioned above, guys get hurt. It doesn't matter when you draft them.

Bowers' ppg (in PPR leagues), is second at 15, behind only McBride at 18.5. Kittle is sitting at 6th.

@TimHauck is trying to prove that Gaines is homophobic and transphobic, and keeps failing. Still is.

Democrats cause the shutdown, blame Republicans, then trash Republican's because the Democrats finally did their job. Gotta love the leftist mentality.

No... they just want slaves.

It's racist when you're not on their si(D)e. It's ok if they (D)o it.

I did one twice... the first year, knocked out in the first week (the guy who won had all but 2 of my Week 1 starters). The second year, I won. Both years we had 18 people. Those were some interesting drafts. In the second year, my strategy was, I'm not bidding on anyone who wasn't a stud. I had like 85% of my FAAB with 6 weeks to go. I was buying studs for $50. LOL

Yeah, having an all-time great QB, all-time great RB, and an all-time great WR, definately improves your chances for success.

Soooo.... Jameis Winston? He might have been the most maddening QB I've ever seen.

Yup.

Ok, so the most expensive item which is the focal point of the meal is cheaper than it was pre-Covid and me calling the OP out on that is irrelevant. BUT, the fact that the cheaper side items are more expensive, that's the bigger issue? Got it, so when every politician runs on a campaign that they're going to lower prices and make everything more affordable... then they don't, Trump is the only person that is to be called out.

Don't be ridiculous. They can obviously fly. Right Andy?

Willing to bet that's the biggest expense people have on Thanksgiving. Also, for your point about less items, that happens all the time. This isn't new. It happens all the time, under every governor, senator, HoR, and President. Basically, it's like saying... we breathe air. Like, yeah, thanks for sharing.

My comment was about the OP's article stating that the price of Turkey was up 70%. Notice, my only quote was the cost of the turkey.
