Since I have been in this league you are the 2nd person to ever be skipped during the supplemental draft. the other was 29Guests who ran the Astros and has since passed away. Skipping never happens in the regular draft because we have plenty of time. We institute it for the mid season supplemental because we have a restricted window to get in the 2 rounds of picks. Pretty sure we apologized for not making a better effort to hunt you down but your team had been inactive for weeks (injured players in the lineup, starting pitchers on the bench, etc) iirc. As for constantly looking for owners, the league was 14 people when I joined and has always been at least 12. We do not NEED any new owners this year, we actually have not needed any new owners since gratefulted passed away and RHR joined. Oddly, RHR has had no issues keeping on top of things. A few people are interested in expanding back to 14 teams, hence this thread.

Don't listen to this guy. He joined for a season and fell asleep at the wheel like Biden and never showed up for the mid season supplemental draft. Then got pissy when we skipped his picks, which he was allowed to make at any point upon showing up.... This may have been before the @ function and i'm sure a better job could have been done in tracking him down, but no other owners seem to need tracking down. Accountability is a great quality

some amazing writing over there at MSN

For the record, LIV is not my baby. I just happen to defend it because the PGA is/was very hypocritical... and I think I was proven correct by all their reactionary moves. I am still a PGA tour fan and mostly watch that, not LIV. My feeling is you don't have to actually like something to accept it's validity. Same goes for TGL. I watched the whole match last night. I sort of get where you are coming from in the sense that these guys are not breaking away from the PGA, but they do seem to be touting it as a legitimate golf league. It's not like "The Match". You've got 6 golf clubs with team ownership, merchandise, a schedule etc.

In my area, deer now roam around like geese. 15 years ago you did not see nearly as many in your yard and they were afraid of people and cars. Not anymore. It's like they wait to cross the road like geese instead of darting in front of your car. Seeing a deer eating foliage in the yard is no longer a "wow look at the deer". a lot of foxes as well. Nothing too unusual... I go crabbing pretty frequently in the spring, summer and fall. Tend to get a lot of blowfish and even an occasional flounder inside the traps.

The two biggest names in the sport "created" it, ESPN is on board, they have celeb owners they can trot into the booth and it's in a comfy arena where more celebs will sit in the stands like they are at an NBA game. I think it is set up to print money for the guys lucky enough to get invited.... at least initially. Long term, you may be right. I'd be way more interested if each team had a home course and they were playing actual golf. But I guess they felt stadium/trackman/prime time trumped that. I'd love to see it be inclusive of LIV players, and maybe it would have been if it were up to the players only, but it's in partnership with the PGA so that will never happen. Imagine a team that had Phil and Bryson.... maybe one with Rahm and Sergio. Up it to 8 teams, "regular season" matches to determine seeding for a bracket style playoff and championship. I do like that each team has 4 but only plays 3. Maybe it would have been more interesting if Tom Kim was playing instead of Kisner last night . I do not like that there are no carry overs. Seems much less likely for a team to catch up, even with the hammer.

Exactly. It is quite literally not real golf. I enjoy seeing them interact but part of the reason I tuned in last night was the team of Tiger Kisner and Homa seemed like the best trio to talk shiit and get in their opponents heads. Sadly wasn’t much good banter even early on before it was a blowout. And the pumping of the celeb owners and audience is very annoying.

I Havnt touched anything since loading the rosters. I don’t use the app so not sure

We are looking for active Yankees and Rockies fans

Apparently this IS a hobby

And to clarify I’m only hating on it because it’s being hyped so hard after the LIV hate. on its own I could see where it has entertainment value and I’m usually in favor of new formats. honest assessment is that I’d probably get bored of watching this after a season.

That’s fair then. I thought LA had about a 16 footer to tie if Kisner had missed. I swore the screen said 3 AFTER they hit from the crater which I was not sure was a penalty area or not. still funny to see this spectacle after all the LIV hate. They even have music playing

I’m watching this time. The short game area is cool but I’m sorry this is trash. LA team is up 5 and they concede a 10 foot putt to Tigers team to give them 2 points. It’s obviously fixed to keep it going and interesting but they have to push this hard.

I read this in zoidbergs voice

I have a friend who is dating a Brazilian woman that lives here illegally. She also got her half brother here and her daughter is in the process. I recently took a trip to a different country with this friend and he made the comment to me that it was a shame _______ people were coming to the country and taking jobs away from the local citizens. Thankfully I wasn’t drunk yet and bit my tongue. Funny how hypocritical people can be when it comes to this stuff.

Even if that’s all they do it would be a huge step in the right direction. There is literally no good argument for anyone to be living here full time illegally. the only argument to cling to is that low paying jobs won’t be filled with illegal immigrants and prices of goods and services will go up. Which is one of the instances of rising prices that should be supported. People also forget that there are legal immigrants here who are still willing to do those jobs for cheap because it beats where they came from.

I have 8. My unused teams were Green Bay and Denver. But based on some teams with very similar picks to me, it’s going to be tough to win unless the Texans D has another good game but KC advances. Nacua and the Rams advancing would likely also be beneficial for me. I have Barkley but way more people have him than Puka. Buf/KC Det/LAR is my best outcome l think… however I am 23 points behind Kopy and our only difference is Kelce vs Butker so I probably need a KC-Detroit SB and 3 games out of Kelce

link in the OP takes me right to live scoring. everything seems to be working fine

Is there?

In again and I know the Mets will continue on sure let’s add teams. Just no dodgers, giants, astros etc gotta be a Yankee fan somewhere! but for real I like what we have. No dead beat owners since we added the Padres and stayed at 12

I would say though that a Veteran like stafford can flip the switch at a moments notice (unless his arm is gone which is not the case). Think Travis Kelce having a very average 2023 regular season and then morphing into playoff Travis will it happen for sure? Idk. As you say the Vikings D under Flores is not a get right spot. I just don’t think a guy like him needs a “get right” softer Defensive

yes. easily. not saying they will, this game and the bucs/skins was the hardest to predict. But they already beat the Vikings in week 7? and their best offensive weapons are all healthy. The young defense has been playing much better lately, as well. I'm happy for Darnold but I tend to give him less credit for the Vikings 3 loss season than a lot of people do. I could see McCarthy having done similar. I still think there is a decent amount of Jets Sam Darnold in there, he just gets to throw to Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, TJ Hockenson and has Aaron Jones in the backfield. I don't care who wins but my lean is Rams.

Last nights game pissed me off for so many reasons unrelated to this contest Agree with cmh, although most people I think expect to get 2+ games from their QB selections, so it will really begin to differentiate if Daniels or Hurts move on again, as either Allen or Jackson are guaranteed to max at 2 games. Hurts isn't really an "out on the limb pick" though. Philly is the #2 seed. 1 person picking Hurts is more to do with Barkley and the other top flight QB's available. The Daniels pick was ballsy. I'm a big fan and initially had Allen and Daniels but decided to play it safer. KC, DET, WSH all had viable QB and TE combos I was looking at.

Player Tally (because why not) for 15 teams QB Allen - 11 Jackson - 7 Goff - 6 Mahomes - 4 Hurts - 1 Daniels - 1 RB Barkley - 13 Henry - 8 Gibbs - 4 K Williams - 3 Cook - 1 Jacobs - 1 WR Evans - 7 Jefferson - 8 St. Brown - 4 Nacua - 3 Collins - 2 Cooper - 1 McClaurin - 1 Brown - 1 McConkey - 1 Addison - 1 J. Williams - 1 TE Kelce - 10 Ertz - 10 Kraft - 4 Frierimuth - 2 Hockenson - 2 Otton - 1 Kincaid - 1 K Boswell - 6 Dicker - 6 McLaughlin - 5 Fairbairn - 5 Karty - 3 McManus - 2 Butker - 1 Gonzalez - 1 Reichard - 1 DST Texans - 6 Chargers - 6 Broncos- 6 Rams - 4 Vikings - 3 Commanders - 2 Bills - 1 Steelers - 1 Packers - 1

If i linked the main page, you just have to go to scoring > live scoring. the main page won't update until the weeks games are done. as posty said, i believe the OP has a link direct to live scoring.
