I’m guessing his thread yesterday about the board?

I doubt it was the thread. I believe it was actions he took regarding other politics threads that tipped his hand

The moderation that I would like to see the most is just not having 10 threads on one thing, as someone earlier pointed out. Seems like this is kind of happening. Having a dozen trans threads on the front page is ridiculous. I'm glad to see my Biden and Ukraine threads still trucking along. I created them with the mindset that these would be two ongoing discussion topics for quite a while.

I'm glad to see the Trump indictment stuff pretty much in one place to shop for the latest news and comments.

I said this two decades earlier, but one thing I really like about this place is how so many are plugged into breaking news. When I was in a newsroom, I'd see things here before I saw them on the Assmegociated Wire. Let's build on that.

Speaking of bannings, it's been nice to not have that insufferable fly Peefoam around.

that's pretty bogus. the content in that thread was much worse than the act of starting the thread.

I don't think it was what he said, but rather he locked several threads. Say what you will about lager, but this puts him in saint territory. He will go down alongside George Washingtons and Abraham Lincolns after this. He would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for that snitch volty. 

[WhiteWonder 2,308]

If anyone sees bostonlager, congratulate him on his last minute win. I hope it stays at .2 margin so I can blame my last minute swap of njoku for Thomas… or starting the wrong QB yet again

I watched the game last night but figured the Chiefs defense didn't get me enough points to eek out a victory, but then I checked the stats this morning while sitting on the couch with the wife and drinking coffee.

ME: Well whaddya know. I won by a nut hair!

WIFE: Um, uh, nice ...

Nice job on turning it around. Didn’t you start out in a hole?

[BiffTannen 651]

I spoke to lager earlier and he made a good point. At the top of the page tap the double arrow to send you back to the first posts saved. Go one to the left, and another, and another. Notice anything? He has balked at making Ed’s treehouse the official hangout in the past but thinks it’s worth discussing again. It brings back memories of TheDanZone days and might be time to submit our resignation here.

Nick Chubb's injury forked me in this league and another one. I've been in digging mode all season but have managed to waiver wire and manage my way into a potential playoff birth in both leagues.

Nice that this week is a deal breaker, with all that time to watch football, drink and masturbate.

[BiffTannen 651]

I have no one going tonight so updating sides now. 

bostonlager vs Bier - Best record  head to head week 1-14 --- $25 (tiebreaker is head to head matchups) Bier -7   lager - 5

bostonlager vs Alias Detective $25 each week high score head to head for weeks 1-14             AD - 5   lager - 7

[Bier Meister 1,551]

With 2 weeks remaining in regular season, we have:

2 team clinching a PO birth at 9-3 (Twinsdad, WW)

2 teams at 7-5 (Bier, DC)

3 teams at 6-6 (BL, Gladitors, SP)

4 teams at 5-7 (AD, CDJ, Horseman, Rusty)

 

one 1 team is eliminated: Herbie at 2-10

[edjr 5,935]

I am 7 and 5 in both my leagues.

I think 8 and 6 locks me up for a playoff spot.

just has to win and get losses from cloaca and rusty. Neither losing team would come close to outscoring him by the necessary points to win a division tie breaker. 

he has a better chance than Shore

I'm locked out of PP and haven't taken the time to be able to get back in. If you don't have venmo maybe edjr will be nice enough to let me venmo him and he can pp you?

My venmo is fine - I've been locked out of PP for years. Forgot password and they wanted me to do some docusign thing to verify my identity. I don't have time for that. 

 

$50 sent to ed to send to bier. 

[edjr 5,935]

Just to make sure. Bier, send me a PM with your PP. I want to be sure. 

[edjr 5,935]

Money sent. I did some digging

.500 is something to be proud of!

.384 is not! 

 

[Bier Meister 1,551]

lost one by 3 (bijan's mystery headache)

lost this week by 2.7 (waddled disappeared in the 2nd half/min scored 20)

Lost by 5 (both waddle and aiyuk out- injured... that was the the week mia dropped 70 on den)

 

very funky 7-7 season.  very sick of in game injuries.  starting to think about best ball

I had to waiver wire my arse off to get that record. Losing Chubb forked me in two leagues.
