I know. I know. I said no bells and whistles, but ($494/$1976 for Thurs thru Mon)...
Zach's Palace
Looks great. And here's a non Bells and Whistles bare bones in Charlotte (Matthews) ($297 night/$1187 for Thurs thru Mon). Seems semi secluded.
MAYBE the Panthers will have a Sunday home game for $3.79 a ticket. We have talked about this for a few years! That would be FUN with you guys!
Zach's Thrifty Inn
Sorry. Don't know how to do links. Copy/paste. Meh. |

In reflecting on past drafts, we typically don’t ever use the luxury items. Sure, the quad boys golf, but that’s not part of the house. We haven’t even played pool the last two years. We play corn hole which comes with us. We draft, watch football, drink, eat, and catch a buzz. Maybe we do scale back on a nice place that simply houses enough of us with a place to sleep, internet/TV, a kitchen, and a few toilets. We have had places with two kitchens and we only used one of them! Not everyone swims. Hmm.
Yes. Same response as I have always had about Sin City. If I go to Vegas before or without Kelly, she’s kicking my hard ass.

Jim Irsay is a DICK
|
|
|
|
For what it's worth, I truly believed, and with the speculation from multiple websites, that JT would get paid OR be traded before that Tuesday deadline. It was a gamble, but for an owner to want top $$ and 1st rd. picks for JT, but not willing to pay JT TOP $$ - at this point I don't think JT's gonna play for that dick at all costs, and dickhead won't trade him. Dumb. So he is likely to Le'veon Bell it. I never thought the Colts would torpedo their top 5 RB. Did you? What a Dick, even if he did save some whale.
I know I have had well documented difficult misfortunes following each other in rapid succession for me recently (here and in real life) - some of which I haven't shared yet. I don't want pity, but starting the draft down a full FP who may not play at all isn't how we want to journey. But I would stick with JT if majority ruled. I think most of y'all said you didn't care, but I think the Commish is looking for a formal voice on the site. I did dclare another player from my roster last year, and he isn't in the same tier, but it's a stronger start than most likely starting with just Pickens.
I have strategized for both FP's. But it would be helpful to know which road I'm going down to start. It goes to all high hell after a few rounds anyway, so Let's Rock!! Hoping for a negative test in the morning, cause I feel good!

Thinking that I'll do a big ole batch of Lizard & Snake Guac (IYKYK). Maybe do quesadillas. The pork would be good if there was any extra in a cheesy pocket of goodness. Also, will bring other protein and fixins fer them. Chips. salsa. Ya know.
And then maybe something from the famous Stick Boy Bakery. A cheesecake, pie, something sweet. They also have nice bread if anyone is interested in bread other than regular sandwich bread.
Otherwise, let me know. |

My gut instinct is no.
|
|
|
|
I don’t ever recall this being a thing. But here’s how I’ve always thought about it: You are the only one in the room that knows: In round 9, I committed to X player for the Lions. I made this gamble before the game. Can’t trade that pick. Can’t pick someone else in round 9.
He scores -2 points. You played the fucking lock box. You have to sleep in that bed. Right? Otherwise, we might as well remove “fucking” and “lock”. Just call it a box. It’s the same strategy as the rookie keeper. Predict the best round to take ‘em. It might be a poor decision, but that’s the game.

| And was a little sheepish about asking because the Jamal rule doesn’t acknowledge holdouts or shitty owners. But it seems this may be the new normal moving forward. If players choose to sit out an entire year, it could be devastating and impact one’s draft in monumental ways. |

Still seems fuzzy
|
|
|
|
So do we need some kind of official vote before FP are declared? And I mean something specific to vote on. I’m down with a die, but are we saying that number is the Megabucks lost, or the player in that position IS your default FP (draft well my friend…). Not sure how that’s different than the Wheel of Death, though. Or are we just passive aggressively pointing a finger and shaming specific owners?
Happy end of June. 🍻

Addendum
|
|
|
|
| Their FP is declared by the Wheel of Death. Record the spinning of the wheel (a la division selections in Aurora) with all of their players from last year. The wheel chooses their franchise and they do not get to have a rookie rule. That seems like a good way to prevent late declarations. Yeah? |

It's a kings paradise. No lake, but all the privacy we want - and a pond! I can see Billy jumping in. I didn't put it cause seems like y'all have come this way the last couple times. But it looks awesome, and I like it too.
Just saying... Think we can narrow down to two though: 5 votes for Keith's top two and at least three abstentions. Mountain Cabin OR Lake House?
I'm good with either of those. Let's go!

I really like the layout of the Pinehurst Lake House Retreat (virtual tour is cool)
Lake Front Home with Pano Views
5 Mile Sunrise on Gaston Lake
They are all kinda in the same place so not really ranked. I don't have the cheese to lay down a deposit so I'll go where the man tells me to go. The price is great for $332 a night at the Pinehurst Place... but again, "Have wheels. Will travel." |

I like all of these. I will be happy to drive to any of these.

Good Evening and Good Morning. I'm Zach, or Z, and this is your local news:
We need to pick a house pretty soon. I'm trying to get an airbnb for mid August myself, and most places are already seem to be booked. Not necessarily the places that have been thrown in the hat... but here's my thought: I would like to suggest we look to see if the Tiki Bar House is an option. It's a sacred place for us with great and historic memories and I think we'd have more fun in a place we are familiar with.
If not, cool. But we STILL need to make some crucial decisons soon to secure a space that serves us all.

Losers Championship wasn’t a done deal either.

Billy and I both scored points in that game and we still sit at a 3 point difference. I can be happy with pick #2… but. It was/is a close match. No solutions from me. Just pointing that detail out with the Blast Bowl since there were only 238 in attendance. All the given options feel meh to me, however we are faced with THAT word of the 2020’s decade again: Unprecedented.
Ugh. But Joe and Stu definitely have the most skin in the game. I’ll vote on any official moves.
It’s wildly exciting and extremely confounding at the same time.

Oy Vey, is right.
|
|
|

I've already been at the center of an atypical trade event this season where rules came into question. I can remember in the past when an owner would post on the message board (for that timestamp) when the situation arose. I don't want nor need the spotlight to yay or nay Cooks. We all have either played guys who were questionable or out in the past. Just becasue I'm 2-6, I don't want need any exception to a rule as old as time.
The only thing I can think of is that Kent wasn't logged in and so his roster was all footballs. But it was 5:40 am when we got the second text. The first one was 8:18. Kickoff was 8:15? I heard Cooks wasn't playing way earlier in the day.
If all the owners are truly looking to me if the Maulers can sub out Cooks on Sunday morning from the game on Thursday when he didn't play, I'd say: Good luck with your two other WR's!
It's how we play. Last week I benched Metcalf because I thought he was Out. He played and played well, and I still beat Stu.
If there is an owner's majority that will recognize to let Kent sub in, who...Olamide Zaccheaus? I won't flex. But...football is hard.

Jeremy and I will deal with any future trades after next week, as needed. I miss this progresive interchange! Thanks for being the league that we've always been. This was part of the excitement Jeremy and I felt in the negotiations this week! I won't devulge deets, but we even had a mega deal in the works. There was a lot of evolution. We had tunnel vision. It's a fun part of FF that we haven't had the last couple of seasons. Not sure there were even any trades last year!

Trade
|
|
|
|
I clearly hear all of the voiced points. All valid. To be transparent, I didn't go to Jeremy and ask him to reverse this trade. We had been talking about it a few days and it wasn't a rash decision. We discussed for quite sometime over a lengthy thread. There was a voice in the back of my head that gave me funny tummy feelings, but I was truly acting as a manager and based on what the NFL was saying he would have been - Probable, if that designation still existed. Numbers wise he was second in the league and a stack for me. Felt fair and worked for both of us. I totally get injuries happen. What happened last night doesn't seem like an isolated tackle event. People were egregious and irresponsible letting him go out there. But how are we to know that when the news (that we get from about ALL players) is so off base that when he takes a shot, his hands stiffen from neurological damage. Anyway. His health was clearly was in the balance.
I told Keith and Jeremy this morning that owners would question the reverse trade, but I took it anyway. I'm happy to keep my QB slot empty (He scored 0 points) and wouldn't expect (nor accept the idea) to have a "second chance" on QB points this week. I don't think that's the core of the issue. I told J and K as much. I think we were operating on the premise of fair trade value. Mark Andrews and Juju for Ertz and a broken/IR Tua would likely not pass in another league that operates on a majority vote approval by the league. I just have less than mediocre QB's and I was eager to upgrade. That's on me. It sets a precident, and I'll muster through however the league deems equitable.
Happy to re-reverse the trade, override any QB score if a name needs to be there for the system, leave empty, etc. It certainly doesn't need to be a cloud hanging over the season. That's the last thing we need.
I really just hope the kid is okay, and the medical staff gets repremanded, sued, or fired. |

Keep inviting us to your plans! After Disney, I just can't. But live it up for me! I should be around 10-0...9-1...around then...

Zoom Link

Sorry boys. My intention was to send out a test link last night but we had a significant water leak in our basement that I had to fix before the weekend started and so that the girls could have water! So... It should be fine. Zoom works. I'm packing up the car after school and will send out a link well before the draft - unless there is a plan that I'm unaware of. Don't care, either way.
Excited! Will be there in the morning maybe before some y'all wake up.

I don't have a plan.

I'll certainly bring food, however if you are all in a pinch or want something specific, just shout. (Ice, Snacks, sauces, etc). I plan to hit the road by 6am Saturday morning at the latest so I'll be there around 8:30 - at the latest. I still have a deluxe Zoom account so we can definitely use it Friday night if nobody else has the goods. Would like to use my laptop Saturday, but I can Use my phone/worksheets if we must use my laptop for Saturday. Respectfully, would ask we limit lascvious, overt "use" or bags of dicks on the Zoom as it is linked to my school account. Ha Ha! If that's all taken care of - all the better!
So very excited.

IYKYK. I sang People Are Strange by The Doors. But I kept antagonizing Ron (Carboro Dreamcrushers) by singing/JM Dancing in "his bubble." He got really pissed off - as he usually would! And we ended up wrestling in the living room. I still think I had him, but he'd wrestle anyone about anything and would never tap out (just wear you out). But I did get to the end of the song.
Unless you are a strong singer, Alex, my advice is belting a song that sounds good even off key.

I wouldn't miss kickers, but I get it. I don't think 10 - 20 points for a good punt is a valid system. Jerm's makes it a little more appealing. Don't think we need two slots for punters. But generally don't like it.

Breaking News!

The Football Gods have quasi-answered. Earlier this week we learned that Lucy's Homecoming Week is September 10-17. Disney Week!!! Well, we can't deny our only child the single opportunity to wear a toga to school, and miss her last Homecoming football game and dance. #dadoftheyear Lord knows COVID has taken away most of her HS dances. So. We called our Disney agent (yeah, we have one) and she was able to modify and shift our reservations to the 18th-24th. Pays to plan early boys. The point being...
I still have a conflict with a car for Friday because the girls have dibs. (I probably shouldn't miss anyway since I'm skipping a full week soon thereafter.) But I plan to LIVE Zoom-A-Zoom Room on Friday as far as we get. And EVEN if we were to do the full draft that night (unlikely?), I will pack the boards, a tent, and zip to Keith's early Saturday morning to finish the draft LIVE and stay until mid afternoon on Sunday!!! Les Go!
So Stoked!

Jamal Lewis Rule
"If any declared Franchise or Rookie player suffers a serious injury in the preseason, that team may choose to change their Franchise or Rookie player designation to any player from their previous season's roster. They may also choose to change their designation from a player to "no player."
Now, this scenario doesn't exactly describe Etienne's situation, but there is enough language in this rule (I think, if ammended), that an owner could designate said rookie as a keeper if they kept them on their roster and if said player didn't play ANY games the PREVIOUS regular season, because of injury (not contract negotiations). He is technically a rook, and has no professional experience.

Important News!
|
|
|
|
Hey men! I want to let you know about this sooner that later. While it won't be as much a factor this year as it had been in the past, I think it bears sharing: My intention was to stay with Keith for the live/remote draft on the 9th. My awesome family has sprung a 50th birthday week at Star Wars and Harry Potter Lands on a resort at Disney from the 10th-17th; it's the only time we can do it with Lucy's senior year schedule. It's awesome, and is what it is. If we don't do the complete draft that Friday night (we did it fast for the Sleeper league, but...), I will have a hot spot and be live remote in the car on Saturday.
My guess is that not everyone was physically getting together anyway, but like I said, I want you all to know my plan this year for that weekend, and not spring it on yoos right before the draft. Still as stoked, but was also looking forward to soaking in the pool. I'll just have to come over later!
That's it! It's going to be a great season, and I can only believe that our premediatated "baby steps" will return us back together one day!
Football!

Agreed.

Thanks for ringing the bell. I am still unable to disaggregate the series of events of last year. I know it’s impossible for any of us to say that it’s all water under the bridge. However, like any relationship, there are ups and downs. But some are worth finding the hill out of the valley. I have done that with you all in the past in some form or fashion. And I’ll do it again. And again. As I said in our last Zoom, no matter what the draft/season looks like, you guys are a part of my life that I look forward to, enjoy, and celebrate each fall. And we share way more bonds than the misunderstandings or poor choices that we’ve made. Even if we need to take really small positive incremental steps, let’s move in that forward direction. Not stagnant, or backwards.
Plus, I’m the champ. I wanna play.

There are byes next week...
|
|
|
|
...which is why we kinda liked the Jamoboree, I think, instead of starting the playoffs. There are definitely seeding and playoff implications on the line.
I guess we never put it in a ballot box, but at this point it seems the fairest way to solidify the brackets.
It seems like by week 18, some playoff bound teams will happily rest many relevant fantasy players. So I'm not sure how much it's worth for Keith to program a Probowl week if dudes aren't playing.

Sorry. Wish I was a guy that had two laptops in my life. Sadly... not so. Not old schooling the weekend.
I know you will, but post the address when the dude releases it to ya, Stu. I think I'll have Lucy drive me over and drop off after school on Thursday. The site looks like parking could be tricky for more than a few cars.
Don't forget your fucking Green Jackets!

Ok. This is still not officially set in stone - because a sub hasn't confirmed. However, I have just requested THE day (Friday...!) so it's set. I have bribed, begged, and blackmaled more than one person to do this, but I think I can officially say that I will be there Thursday Night for the game - through Monday! Which I think helps all paying guests a little because I'm adding a night. Right?
I went ahead and took a personal day on Friday. Check. I am calling my family doctor in the morning for a pcr on Tuesday morning. (fingers crossed) But I'm coming Thursday! Still doing rapid tests. Still negative, and Kelly is beck in the swing. Woot!
I can't tell you how hard I'm making this happen and it's one of my greatest passions so I can't imagine you all being 30 minutes away and me going to work. Fuck that. I apologize for making this a soap for me, but if I could have just said fuckit a month ago, believe me. I would have. mmm. I get by with a little help, from my friends. To be with my friends. And the cornhile boards can get a nice workout on Friday!

I was able to create a new league...
|
|
|
|
...with current FPs and Rookie Keepers. However, after one full mock draft, all subsequent drafts have my choices to be queued, not straight up drafted. Not the biggest deal, but adds a step in the process. And Dat keeps drafting Etienne. Strong move Dat.

While I do relish in having Billy in both of my divisions in Customized Football, I do like the last week being a Guillotine-esque week where you play all scores for a possible needed win to get in. So I would say while the video fucking rocks, I am interested in revisiting my old stomping ground guys for a spot of revenge, with the added twist at the end. Maybe we do the wheel of fate next year?
But, as always, I'm flex. |

My bocce set after 21 years died, but obviously bringing the udated boards with brand new bags!
Don't forget your "green jackets" for the ceremony. We do a pretty good job of organically bringing a wide variety of grub. Coffee. Drinks. I got an air fryer last Christmas that's easy to transport. May bring that for quick n' easy bites to eat.
Joe, do you still have that crazy numbered stake game? That was fun!
It's difficult to believe we're back on track. It seems like years since we've been together!
If we think of anything, add it to the list. And since I'm pretty close, don't hesitiate to reach out if you don't have room for something. It might be easier for me.

SO...can we have a vote on the home page? No division vs. 3 divisions? Although, I'm still torn. Would go either way, and even live with a coin flip. But at least a vote would give a good temperature check.
Excited to get rolling!
P.S. If you don't have a vax shot, you have to forfiet your VPs.

Hey all! Have decisions about the format and structure of the league been made yet? If we don't get two more owners, and we do "no divisions," can we just have 10 teams? Or is that bad math in terms of playoffs? Or if we do have divisions, have just two?
Just wondering.

2 QB’s in the Sleeper League,
|
|
|
|
was enough for me. It’s a strong word, but I hated it. Even as only a SUPERFLEX position, it didn’t feel balanced and essentially was a 2 QB lineup. In fact, there seemed to be only a very small elite group of players (not QBs) that could consistently match the points of what an additional tier 1-3 QB could. And if teams had two blue chip QBs, they played them every week. And then, you’re simply hoping for luck or an unfortunate event to your opponent’s team. Which feels different (less fun?) than when both teams have our standard lineup. But I didn’t miss Kickers. If we did ANYTHING to our lineup, I would consider retiring kickers (keeping all records in the Hall) and making that a regular FLEX (RB/WR/TE). But I also understand that kickers are part of the game. AND there is a purity that we have held high for decades by not having a FLEX slot. I love that about Ragnarok.
At any rate, it did change the dynamic of the draft last year. Additionally, I’m not sure why we need to penalize shitty QBs. What’s up with that? The simple fact that they’re shitty is penalty enough for an owner. And all voiced opinions prior to mine on this thread are seconded by me. We NEED a decent pool of QBs (even shitty ones) available in FA throughout the season to plug in as injuries or byes may occur. Otherwise, games are noncompetitive.
That’s my .02 and will always vote no 2 QBs - or even penalizing shitty QBs.

Is this legit?
|
|
|

Don't fight me on this, but this seems to be a natural and perfect time to reset everyone. Since we blanked last year as official stats, we all start as if this is "year zero" and we all move in sync moving forward. Then we ALL end the season with one year of stats. Is that nonsense? I'm not stats minded, and I'm thinking out loud. It's an opportunity for everyone to have an even shot to land in any division next year. Right?
That's bold. But it does affect all teams rather than just the lowly owners in Hel. Again, this may be too apocalyptic.
If you throw Tommy in Hel I wouldn't rage, either. It just fun to discuss. 69 days!

My initial thought
|
|
|
|
...is leave Two Straws there. It doesn't upset the whole cart. If you move that team to the bottom and another moves up (Asgard to Midgard?) doesn't that cause more waves in the realignment process than just leaving everyone else on the paths they have earned/landed on? We often go back to trying to follow the actual NFL as closely as we can. When teams get new coaches, they aren't moved to the bottom of the draft.
Slot him in and let's move on. It shouldn't be punitive to join the league.

Realignment
|
|
|
|
I like the divisions, myself. But that's probably because that's the only way I've ever played. But since this is a slow auction, with victory points, and has a different bent anyway, I suppose I'd be open to try something outside the box. It seems that it would bring VP into the foreground even more, which isn't a bad thing. For a season there, I didn't even notice or get it. Hah!
That said, I don't have a strong preference, though if we do stay in divisions and roll dice, or spin a wheel, I'd like to "see" it. Not out of a lack of trust. It would just be more fun. Even if it's recorded. I'm just happy to get back on the fantasy gridiron.

Game postponements or cancellations
|
|
|
|
Shit outta luck, is right for sure. If it were me, I'd be pretty chappy about it but I get it, knowing that will still be part of the calculated risk. However, I will say if games this late in the year are being cancelled...the season may very well already be in the shitter as far as fantasy goes.
But are you really SOL? We would still allow real time/immediate replacements on our roster though, correct? One may not be shit outta luck if they have a solid bench. OR would the aforementioned rules proposal be relagated to only the regular season (24.1 Condidtional Starts)? I would suggest the clarification that an owner could apply that rule to any start for Regular or Postseasn games since there seems to be no clear resolution to this possible scenario. Just so there would be a player in that position (if the owner was bright enough to keep a backup...) and we remain as competitive as we can. Obviously if there are multiple games and your backups are not playing... yeah. SOL.
But again, if that's the case, the season has likely already been dealt the likes of the snap from Thanos.
Another point of clarification. As stated in the propsal 24.1, an owner starts player X because Y (franchise) is postponed or cancelled. To be clear, X is your points guy, end of story? Scenario: It's Week 4. You slot X (bench dude) on Sunday morning. He scores 12 points during the 1:00 games. On Sunday night the stoopid NFL says they WILL play Y's game on Monday night as a double header, after your X's game has completed. Your Y player, on Monday scores 34 points. An owner can't retroactivate any decision based on 24.1, correct? Or could they? What about the same scenario in Week 15?
Just putting it out there. Don't really have a strong preference either way, though I would like it to be clear cut before the season.

I have thought about that, Sean...
|
|
|
|
| The two week game. Where scores are added together. I didn’t bring it up because we have historically been a league that tends to model reality. I do like the pro bowl idea. And we could do a two week event with that and we can play vs. everyone. First week a full roster, second week maybe goes to a modified (mini superstar) roster added to your scores the first week? Or some other fun twist? Only your Franchise and Rookie scores the second week? Fun to think about. |

In response to Raiden's post on the what is and what shall be done, I figured I'd just put this out there, now. I would come on the same day as being around teens that may or amy not have the shot. There isn't a scenario where I could quarrantine 10-14 days before arrival. I totally understand and respect anyone that wouldn't feel comfortable, and could sleep in a tent as well. But we'd all be in a shared bubble if we are in room. If there are stronger concerns, we can revisit as needed.
We have time to see how things play out, but I thought you should all be reminded that I'll be in the petri dish that week. If there is no school, things have gone the wrong way, and this may be the least of our worries.

We could...
|
|
|
|
Ignore FGs. Except as pts against for DEF.
Give the extra point to RBs and WRs. (7pts for TDs)
Leave 2pt conversion scoring as is.
But DEF could still block FGs for pts.
K could be another FLEX? |

I can Zoom This evening.
|
|
|

All valid points in the the thread. Lets just make sure we find common ground. I won't die on any hill, but I do want it to be as fun as we can make it! Stu is right about having only/mostly negative outcomes for kickers. If there was a combo play where it was a solid reason/gamble to fill the K spot, and I lean more towards Bill's comments. Scoring frenzies would be more fun than 28 to 32 scores. Meh...
We can suss it out in Zoom a Doom Doom!
Football! |

It's setting in... (Sentimental post)

I know we are doing the right thing, but I logged in and I (Almost!) teared up. Second time in 22 years, I won't be with the league for the second weekend of September. I missed one live draft and participated online when Kelly was redlining. Thankful for UNC doctors!
I know we'll still play, but dammit, I hate most American humans. So fucking selfish.
Rant over. Love y'all!
Football!

Tuesday morning and I'm already seeing many individual players opting out on multiple teams, and some are actually decent fantasy options. And yeah, what Stu said about baseball. It's a shit show. Vikings have 31 players on reserve/COVID-19 list for quarantine. Grateful for a super Commish and a forward thinking league. And for staying poisitive throughout.
I'm in for the hockey zoom if we don't do a family hike/float. Sounds great.
I did a league with other theatre teachers last year on Sleeper, and it was a very user friendly platform. Nice graphics, data, and (I think) is flexible with rules and scoring. I didn't pay, and it was much better than ESPN Fantasy Football, IMO. But, I don't really have a dog in that fight. I've played there, NFL.com (good too), and CBS sports, so I have experience enough to navigate a fake trophy. I know Joe.commish has plenty of life points to lead the shit stew 2020.
Emergency Board meeting today at 5:00 in my school district. My prediction all summer (I hope) will come true and we will go all virtual. It's the safe thing to do right now. Here's hoping.
Football! |

Pre-Season Deadlines
|
|
|
|
I know we are operating in uncharted territory, but are we sticking with our established deadlines for the summer? Most specifically, the Pick Your Draft Slot which would be next Tuesday.
Just curious. I know we are tentatively meeting next weekend, and I'm sure we'll talk a lot about a lot of things. But just wondering if we should look for it in the next day or so.
Thanks! |

Conversation thread - not a proposal.
|
|
|
|
I listened to a dopey podcast on the way-too-early rankings, etc and it got me thinking. And I thought that opening a small can of worms felt right. It's June, and we have missed the spring banter of draft houses. So. I'm not making any proposals here. This is purely a conversation thread.
I was thinking about the draft and I feel fortunate that we have a large roster to work with, including an IR spot. But my mind wandered down the rabbithole of what the fall would look like: shortened season, coaches or players getting sick, parts of squads or even entire teams being quarantined for 14 days, which could affect at least two games. In our league, the last couple of seasons, playoff spots came down to - not overall records - but total points! Two weeks without a starter could tank a team. Then my head went to a specialized spot on the roster. Now, maybe you have multiple players with COVID. That would suck, probably makes this not much fun, and overly frustrating. (It may be a frustrating season as it is!) Obviously an owner shouldn't be held harmless with all of his C-19 players... but maybe... one? Example: If Mahomes was quarantined the morning of September 20th for 14 days, he would sit out that game, the 28th, and Oct 4th. Three games! (I know he could be injured and miss time anyway, but we have a process for this, so hear me out) What if there was a hypothetical C19 spot where I could designate Mahomes for those three games and then immediately stick him back on my starting roster, without ever dropping him in FA (because I would probably never get him back, or spend my entire bank getting him back, because of COVID), or I would not play him, taking up a roster spot for a player that wasn’t “sick/quarantined” for a given amount of time. When he’s activated by the NFL is when I could activate Mahomes that day. But you couldn’t bounce players in and out of the “C19” spot at will from week to week. Only the NFL could unlock the player out of that roster spot by either activating him, or in the unfortunate event that they could not return to the field for any number of horrible reasons.
I’m only bringing this up because this isn’t the new normal, and it isn’t normal playing conditions. It wouldn’t be a new permanent rule/roster spot, but rather an exception for one season. I haven’t done a deep analysis or considered the time needed to adjust that in Ragnarok, which is why I’m just talking, and to see if anyone else has considered anything like this. Again, I’m glad we have a larger draft and deeper rosters. And I would think this would really be for Franchise Players, and positional players in the top 5 - 8 spots. If your 3rd or 4th WR gets COVID, I would think you wouldn’t want to designate them C19.
Again, I’m just curious about your thoughts. Also, this is my first day of summer so I’ve been able to brain dump a bunch of things for other thoughts. I hope you’re all doing well! Watauga went from 13 to 19 to 42 in about two weeks. (Mother’s Day and Memorial Day). I guess we’ll see what the protests and marches will do in the next month or so. I wrote this as a stream of consciousness post, so there may be a better idea for owners in this situation, and it also could be a waste of time! I’m gonna think about it. And also about how our draft weekend could look in a remote setting - like my school year, probably.
Football!

Some Good News In All The Muck and Myre
|
|
|

I submitted my National Board Renewal today! I've been Board Certified since 2010. It's the highest recognition in teaching (even a Masters), and after 50 pages of commentary, student work, and a 10 minute video of my teaching...It's done. It's a 12% raise versus a 3% raise with a Masters. I'll find out in December, if our world is still operating on the same guidelines as they are now!
On a more somber note, I hope everyone is well, and is doing anything that helps bring understanding to our spiraling society. Last weekend felt like the 60's as we hoped a rocket would make it to space, protests and riots in the streets, and as we mourn (or celebrate!) the loss of a presidential leader.
I still feel hopeful for some kind of season. But at this point, I'll take almost anything. I might even watch (gasp) baseball. Definitely looking forward to a short compact NBA season with play-in games for the playoffs. I dig a 8-10 game regular season!

I don't roll with light teen comedies much on the stage - unless it's the musical. (RIP) Avant garde, dark, and let's make the viewer do a little bit of work.
Thanks for taking the time!
