***2023 Fantasy Geek Balls League*** Season Thread
WhiteWonder replied to bostonlager's topic in The Geek Club
personally, no. I have zero interest in a slow draft. Our 11 man golf drafts sometimes drag on to get through 6 rounds. I don't see it going well at all. I would have been fine finding out my draft slot 30 minutes before the draft. Now, those who need to can prep for their slot and we can just have a quick draft on 8/31 -
[ friday thread ] if you had a youtube channel what would it be about?

Fantasy Football and Golf . Not fantasy golf, clearly I suck at that, despite winning a Spedex cup -
sign up for what? I'm the "commissioner" and the one who reactivated the league on Yahoo... I didn't know we officially switched to ESPN... I will log in there now
-
oh for sure. I wasn't claiming them to be healthy although I would rather have real sugar and more ginger flavor as opposed to canada dry or seagrams. they are quite delicious
-
i've never been with a FAT chick, but from the few thicker girls, I have not found this to be true. Latina's and Milfs give the best.

8/31 has not had any objections yet. We had some people wanting a slower draft in threads here and some people who don't want injuries to come into play. Unfortunately, can't have both. In order to do a slow draft we would really have to start ASAP with the shiit show we all know that would be. If injuries are a concern, I would suggest just sticking with a live draft in the ESPN or Yahoo draft room like we did last year. That was VERY smooth.

I just stepped aside figuring you and Lager had it under control with the various proposals and such... plus I had to focus on the FFToday IBL stuff. I had activated the Yahoo league for 2023 before Lager went and made an ESPN league. If we are using divisions it should be ESPN since Yahoo struggles with goofy tie break rules. If it's no divisions, might as well stick with yahoo and just let me know any changes I need to make to the scoring. I believe the majority vote was for $50... which is fine with me since i'm in like 12 leagues again. We have some draft dates that don't work (personally, 8/26 and 9/6 do not work for me, anything else is fine)

I think the bigger question here is why is Queen being specifically promoted to kids? I have no issue with kids listening to a greta band but I'm getting the feeling that Queen, specifically is being introduced to kids because of Mercury and the fact that in today's society, Freddie would likely be a they/them and more. This seems obvious when promoting the band to kids but warning that their content contains references to adult themes such as violence and drugs... So that is okay for our youth, but the song fat bottomed girls itself is not?
-
nah, the year you quit we paid top 2
-
Not a bad comp although I always felt like Reed was our Poulter. Or maybe im just putting too much emphasis on his partnership with Spieth and that epic match against Rory.
-
Maybe i'll join in your honor, i'll be back from Barcelona right before we would probably draft.

he can sweep it out with his putter

Definitely not. I dont really watch what I eat and have mostly gotten by on genes and metabolism my entire life. Years ago I cut back big time on fast food. It was so convenient for me to grab on the way home from work... traditional FF or fast casual. I've also gone through phases where I forced myself to have more salads, especially at lunch. I am a fan of baby spinach salads. Or phases where I got into cooking. Lately I have reverted back to ordering in or eating out, though not to the same extent as the past. My salt intake is way too high. I've never been a sugar/sweets person so that is probably okay... and my drinking is more along the lines of going out once a week or less but then binging and drinking way too much while out . Flip side is im not a big drinker on most other days. Cut way back on coke/pepsi a long time ago. Have been on a ginger ale kick lately (Reeds). Bloodwork and physical results always come back perfect which is good but has probably lead to me being careless with my eating habits and it's going to catch up to me.

Burns win this season was the Match Play. He hasnt had a top 10 finish since the end of May with 6 missed cuts on the year. Young finished 2nd at the match play and 7th at the Masters. He then had no finished better than T32 including 2 missed cuts. He had back to back top 10s at the John Deere and the Open but then a missed cut and a t31 at the 70 man St Jude event. Not saying JT has been better with 6 MCs, no wins and only a handful of top 10's Guess my point it those other guys don't seem like locks to me.
-
Again, not in favor of JT as a pick, but when I see Cam Young on this list I am wondering what the difference is. Neither have been playing well for a while now. Burns is also suspect, imho.
-
I agree that JT should not be on the team. But I dont think he would possibly be selected because of his name, I think he would possibly get selected to play with Jordan and/or Rickie. Cantlay and Xander will be playing together... probably in all sessions. The US has been putting a lot of value on "team" and guys who play well together/feed off each other, trying to copy the success of the Euros. Remember when Reed was upset that his partnering with Jordan was broken up so Jordan could play with JT.

Hurricane Hilary - West Coast representin'
WhiteWonder replied to jerryskids's topic in The Geek Club
Since you're used to 3", 4 will probably have you more than sprinkling -
i dont know. I assume the US takes Spieth and JT... will they take Brooks? Doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would make a difference in a team event but he does play well with a chip on his shoulder. The Euro team has Rory, Rahm, Hovland, Hatton, Fitzpatrick, Fleetwood... who can't close out a tournament but this is different. I also think the US lost more to LIV than the Euros did. Euros lost a bunch of experienced but extremely aged out and washed up experience, most of which would have only served as vice captains anyway. I think DJ, for all his aww shucks demeanor and possibly the fire of Patrick Reed are legit losses for team USA.

Going to lose anyway

This would not have been my guess for first political joke -
Why is there so much anti-gay hatred? Woman shot and killed for having a rainbow flag in her store.
WhiteWonder replied to The Real timschochet's topic in The Geek Club
I would argue that a large issue is peoples incessant need to let others know their stances. Why can’t you be pro lbgtqabcdefg without flying a flag? Why can’t you be a republican or democrat with a trump or Biden bumper sticker? Why do you need political signs on your lawns? If you want to proudly display your maga hat in your house, that’s cool. The lock of your kids hair that Joe sniffed at a rally displayed proudly on your mantle? Also cool. im not defending violence against any group of people but let’s be honest, there are many people that can’t live without letting others know their beliefs and they get very annoying about it. -
