It was not a great draft year for me and my success in leagues was almost entirely attributed to properly working waivers, free agency and trades. I was right that Seattle was the DST to pick in the last round of drafts. I was right that Fairbairn was the kicker to pick last. I was right that Barkley should not go ahead of Robinson or Gibbs and that Taylor would be a nice value. Right on Henderson in dynasty. ... and right that Rashee Rice would be a stud after his suspension if you could tread water until then. I guess also right about Drake London prior to the injury. Totally wrong on Kamara as a PPR value in round 4. Wrong about Calvin Ridley. Wrong about Mike Evans although that was more injury related. Very wrong about Justin Fields on the Jets. The Jets organization is probably more to blame there than Fields as they never used him correctly prior to his benching.

Switch into baseball mode. Nothing needs to be done on your end for FF until after free agency and the NFL draft, unless it's simply to scratch an itch. If you have any dynasty leagues, you can focus on trading there.

Which loudmouth Tim? meh. 1 and done. We have RHR or gepetto waiting -
depends what kind of investor/trader you are. I have assets I won't sell because they are "buy it and forget it" and collect the dividends along the way. There are funds, there are individual holdings, etc. Everyone should have investments like this. I also have an active trading account which technically answers more of your questions. I don't sell when I need money because I don't invest money I will need. It would have to be a crazy emergency for me to need to sell any stocks I've bought in that account. Generally, I sell if a stock has made me a certain % within a certain time period and I feel it is due for a correction. Mostly I am jumping in on stocks that I feel have been oversold and dropped too much. If i'm wrong and they continue to drop, they become a longer term investment for me because fundamentally I believe in each stock I am purchasing so I am also willing to invest (and probably already am) long term in them. I don't worry about short term vs long term capital gains tax unless it just so happens that a stock which is up a certain % is also approaching the 1 year purchase anniversary. Then I may hold a little longer to save on taxes. So basically I sell when I have a certain profit, but there is also a profit to time ratio for me. When I sell, I take my profits and reinvest the original capital in my next oversold pick.... but that specific account is very much something I view as a secondary source of income. Actively trading is something i enjoy doing and i've made upwards of 75k/yr with that account.

i get it -
Nah I get it. It’s still effort involved. But if you have the vice adapter, all you need to buy is a roll of grip tape and a bottle of solvent (or mineral spirits). Put a drip tray underneath to catch the excess solvent and it will last forever.

it's pretty simple. i don't know of any glue. hook knife to strip the old grip unless you want to blow it off to save it, grip tape, grip solvent.

tour velvet or lamkin crossline... do they still make those? I'm the opposite of fireballer, i rarely change my grips. old toothbrush and some soapy water every few months keeps them great. I also tend to keep whatever comes stock as its usually some form of company branded tour velvet. I think my irons and driver have golf pride "z grip", its the same thing.

Do I need to imagine this? Don't churches and similar do 50/50's all the time? also, their attorney fees for child molestation cases are covered by the collection plates and donation envelopes anyway

i've heard this many times and don't really get it. Unless the person saying it has absolutely zero silly vices. I could call smoking a stupid people tax, but smokers get enjoyment out of it. Lottery players likely get enjoyment out of their $2 stake. Same as slot machine players, etc etc etc . i'm not some big lottery player but i'll usually grab a power ball if I happen to remember. I don't care what the jackpot is.

As a serious answer to this question, and maybe it's just as a fantasy football fanatic, but I have always hated the all year TNF. I don't even mind the black friday games, the random late season saturday games but I hate every week TNF. It makes the season feel like one continuous loop rather than actual separated weeks. Monday Night football ends, Tuesday you digest the previous week, put in waiver claims, etc.. and then you have one day before the next week is beginning. They are overdoing the international games as well.

I hope Timhack is Jewish, otherwise I can’t help but hear Dave Mathews in my head… Tim wakes up Christmas morning, hops on X on his phone and he’s trolling…. TDS in every direction!

yes, very comically. I had just got my license and was speeding past a cop who was parked facing the other direction. As soon as I saw him and realized I was speeding and saw him start to K turn I knew he was going to pull me over. There was a decent distance between us so at the end of the street I'm actually thinking "i'll make a right and then another right, and a left and lose him in the neighborhood" I made the two rights and there was not a side street in sight. Got pulled over, he told me he was excited when he got his license too, just slow it down.

I would love to put to a vote the idea of shortening the regular season by 1 week, allowing each playoff week to shift one week earlier and help avoid the sh*t show that was the finals last season. Most teams have to deal with it, but either way it feels weird managing a real lineup all season and then scrambling as normal starters are shut down and bench players are getting starts. I don't remember how many regular season weeks we have off the top of my head but just subtract one. It's not like we keep record by one win or loss for the week, it's all cumulative by categories anyway
-
I don't personally think playing each team twice is needed. Yes, it's head to head but with all the categories it doesn't really feel like it is. During the regular season I don't even pay attention to who my opponent is, to be honest. Im just setting the best lineup for myself. I don't think I ever look at a week and am like "oh shiit, I play the Braves"... that comes into play once the playoffs start Being that past seasons didn't have this "schedule balance", I don't think it's a big deal. It would sort of be interesting to get rid of weekly matchups all together and move to some sort of system where every week the top 6 in a category get a win and the bottom 6 get a loss.
