I did very good this year. I sent it out as soon as I said I would. I was, however, forced to send it earlier because of March Madness but I was on time this season.

And I hope to be able to do it for football but it doesn't look promising. I don't find the appeal in those daily leagues that ManRam was talking about. I liked it over at fanduel for a little bit but it just got too annoying for me. But then again...my favorite part of fantasy sports is the managing of the league with trades, free agent pickups, etc.

. That was back before my stick ball days. Now i would vacuum that shit up.

Yea...it's easy to say "oh, I coulda got that" when you weren't in the situation. But like you said...that was a while ago. I wonder how you'd hand a laser line drive homer (it wasn't really a laser...but at the time...it seemed like it).

I caught a shirt at RAW once. It was right after they changed it from WWF to WWE. The shirt said "I do it till I'm RAW" (needless to say it was pre-PG era). I was sitting in the 200 sections but in the first row. The cannon shot it up to the end of the 100 sections and it bounced off a few rows there and came at me and I leaned over the rail in a full stretch and made the catch as everyone is running to it through the isle in front of me. But this basketball catch topped that for sure. It took me a while before I realized how cool it was because I was texting me friend the picture of my seats. Then I realized...hey...I caught the ball.

At the same game with Cantu i was sitting there watching BP. Whoever was batting hit an ABSOLUTE FROZEN ROPE foul down the first base line towards the top of the lower section. Standing there was about a 250 pound bahemoth of a woman. She took it right off her left tit like it was nothing. Just brushed it off and kept going. Remember it like it was yesterday. Couldnt believe what i saw

WOW. I can't miss this damn draft. After doing the pre-ranking thing...I realized that I'll hate my team afterwards. It would be full of guys I stretch for.

Philly i have no idea. Maybe join a mock and import your ranks into there and see if it works? I have never pre ranked my players before.

I should be here but there's a small chance I won't be. It'll probably be better if I weren't, though, considering drafting has never been my forte. I have like 3 guys left from the draft by the midway mark anyway.

I usually manage two teams (1 H2H and 1 roto) so didn't really need an extra team. My roto league dropped so only H2H this year but I'm good with only having 1

team.

Tied last year in the finals but lost 2nd tie breaker and won the year before so looking forward to another big season. Just had our draft friday night.

I need a big day today!!

I made a couple bad coaching decisions last week against Manram that could cost me a spot in the playoffs. My team is playing good lately but had a tough schedule down the stretch.
