NFL

[south wharf]

And then the drummer in my band is an avid ravens fan and our lead singer is a mild packers fan

[sleek spoke]

What’s a seat license

[south wharf]

You get to buy tickets for the same seat season after season

So it’s like season tickets with a guaranteed seat

[sleek spoke]

Oh cool

[south wharf]

Yeah! He sells most of the tickets but I’ve gotten to go to a few games that way

[sleek spoke]

I think my parents have that for the rugby team we support (it’s the best seat to see Maro Itojes ass when he warms up)

[south wharf]

(He doesnt live near Charlotte anymore)

[sleek spoke]

Or I think just our team make sure that you don’t want the same seat again before offering it to someone else

[south wharf]

Ours are on the away side, which is great if you want to yell mean things at the other team (me)

[granite schooner]

@upbeat heart otc once again

[sleek spoke]

We don’t have an away side everyone just mushes together

I mean if you buy through the opposing club usually they have a block they’re in but otherwise everyone just sits together for the vibes

[granite schooner]

DAMN, I wanted aiyuk!!!

@sleek spoke your up

[sleek spoke]

Oh bugger I was looking at the names not what position they played

[south wharf]

Oh yeah sometimes we are with away fans but we’re on the same side as the away players

[haughty kernel]

Second time I’ve been sniped by you @heavy pelican

This is war

[heavy pelican]

Sam LaPorta was my MVP last season ♥️ he is mine I will love him forever

[upbeat heart]

Shoulda taken him before then 💁🏻‍♂️💁🏻‍♂️💁🏻‍♂️

[haughty kernel]

I drafted him in dynasty and traded him for a kings ransom

Wanted to get him back for a bit

[granite schooner]

Callum your odd lot right?

[upbeat heart]

No Oddlots is Mari

[gleaming radish]

no that’s mari

[granite schooner]

Right, callum which one are you? Cleslie?

[sleek spoke]

Yes

His name is leslie

[granite schooner]

Also @gaunt lark otc

[haughty kernel]

Sorry I’m too autistic to have creative usernames

You just have to know my full government

[sleek spoke]

Me calling HMRC tomorrow

I’m joking I only do that for dead people and you’re not dead yet

[granite schooner]

@fossil granite your up

Ooo Caleb, that’ll be interesting to see how that plays out

[haughty kernel]

@static raft

[sleek spoke]

What does WR stand for, I got all the others

[haughty kernel]

Wide receiver

[sleek spoke]

Ok I was never gonna guess that

I assume on the wing

[granite schooner]

What were your guesses?

[sleek spoke]

Something runner

Wing runner tbh was what I thought

[heavy pelican]

I mean kinda lol

[granite schooner]

Yeah, that’s pretty close actually

Wing Runner is a better name anyways

[sleek spoke]

My wing runner Troy Bolton is gonna do so well

[upbeat heart]

I am enjoying your fantasy football experience SO MUCH

Unironically

[sleek spoke]

I will say it is also 21:50 and I am going a little delirious

[upbeat heart]

It is also your pick dear

[sleek spoke]

Thanks I was brushing my teeth

[granite schooner]

https://tenor.com/view/jaylen-waddle-penguin-gif-23950097

[sleek spoke]

I’m sorry he has the name WADDLE

I had to pick him

[granite schooner]

I get it girl lol. I hope he does well for you. I had him last year and he was very disappointing and unreliable

[sleek spoke]

Oh great

[haughty kernel]

He is super talented tho

[sleek spoke]

Well my goal is to not end on 0 points

[granite schooner]

He is, he can go either way

[sleek spoke]

I’ve just realised OTC means on the clock which is what it says in the app

[granite schooner]

@south wharf otc

[south wharf]

I want that to be a position

[sleek spoke]

I am slightly confused - so we get 15 picks but counting up the types there’s only 9 “spots” (1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 2 flex 1 super flex) so how does that work

[sleek spoke]

When I am dictator I will change it don’t you worry

[upbeat heart]

You have 6 bench spots

Players you are not "starting" who you can swap into your starting lineup

[sleek spoke]

Oh my god do I have to pick people each week

[upbeat heart]

but are still on your team

Yes

[sleek spoke]

Oh my god I’m going to need reminders

[upbeat heart]

The only real goal is to not start someone who is not playing IRL

[sleek spoke]

Guarantee I will do that at least once

[upbeat heart]

This will happen don't worry

[sleek spoke]

Amazing

[upbeat heart]

So you need reminders twice a week, three times if I'm being nice 😂

[south wharf]

Sam I feel like this should’ve come with more warning

2-3 times a week. I’m already tired

[upbeat heart]

There is a game every Thursday night, so you should check Thursday afternoon to see if you have anyone playing

[granite schooner]

@upbeat heart your up

[upbeat heart]

Then you set your lineup Sunday morning (US time)

[upbeat heart]

Cello I appreciate your diligence here but it is physically hurting me, *you're

[granite schooner]

lol I’ll never change

[upbeat heart]

This hurts me as a language professional 😭

[granite schooner]

Oooo interesting Sam, Stefon diggs

[upbeat heart]

I wanted to go WR and he's solid and he's got CJ Stroud throwing to him

[granite schooner]

True, he’s also very temperamental

[upbeat heart]

All good WR are 😂

Divas, all of them

[granite schooner]

I’ll never forgive him as a bills fan, but I understand the pick

@south wharf otc

[upbeat heart]

No that's fair

[granite schooner]

https://tenor.com/view/tony-soprano-the-sopranos-james-gandolfini-hes-dead-to-me-gif-16782122

[upbeat heart]

Also I very sincerely don't care if you actually set a lineup or not, for the record 😂

If you set a lineup you are more likely to succeed

If you don't, I hope it's when you're playing me that you don't set a full line up 😂

[sleek spoke]

I am having some slight connectivity issues in my bedroom so if i drop off the face of the earth i'm either asleep or without wifi

[granite schooner]

Yeah, you don’t have to do a god damn thing after this lol if you don’t want too

You could set your line up week 1 and then leave it until the end. Will you win? Probably not

[upbeat heart]

You also don't have to make any of your own draft picks either

[gleaming radish]

a guarantee

[upbeat heart]

If you are not asleep, it's your pick

[south wharf]

Yeah can’t say I care a lot about winning this

Also what team is LAC lol

[upbeat heart]

Then you never have to check it again

[upbeat heart]

LA Chargers

And I thank you for turning on autopick so we are not waiting for you 😂

[south wharf]

They used to be somewhere else?

[upbeat heart]

San Diego

[gleaming radish]

oakland raiders are now vegas as well

[south wharf]

But I have to rechoose auto pick every round which is annoying

[upbeat heart]

oh that's so annoying

[gleaming radish]

for those unaware

[gleaming radish]

that’s very dumb

[upbeat heart]

It still sounds wrong

[gleaming radish]

so wrong

i still say oakland

[upbeat heart]

I mean in my heart it's still the St. Louis Rams 😂

[south wharf]

Did LA not have a team? Was it the Rams went to La or they were in La but went to St Louis

[upbeat heart]

Both of these

[south wharf]

Also what does SD have now

[upbeat heart]

San Diego has nothing

They were foresaken

[gleaming radish]

an empty stadium i suppose idk if it’s been demolished

[south wharf]

I went to a baseball game in SD it was fun!!

[upbeat heart]

The Rams were in LA, then were in St. Louis, then went back

[south wharf]

The baseball team plays at Petco Park and one of the things they do between innings is fun pet videos 🥹

[south wharf]

So LA has the rams and the chargers now?

[upbeat heart]

They were in STL 1995-2015

[upbeat heart]

Yep

And San Diego gets nothing

[gleaming radish]

yea they share sofi stadium

[south wharf]

Greedy

[sleek spoke]

I have a St Louis rams cuddly toy somewhere

[haughty kernel]

You shouldn’t have to, there’s a toggle

[upbeat heart]

I think she's saying you have to toggle that on every time

[south wharf]

You have to manually turn on the toggle each round

[haughty kernel]

Thats so weird

[south wharf]

I’m trying to just check it semi regularly (I’m currently practicing keys so I’m just checking every few songs)

It is weird but I guess it’s so if you think of somebody you can change your mind 🤷🏻‍♀️

[haughty kernel]

It’s fine, us Brits are going to sleep soon so we’ll pause for the night

The all hype team keeps rolling

[sleek spoke]

My phones in sleep mode now so I likely won’t be awake for my next pick sorry guys

[upbeat heart]

I'm chatting about the draft in DMs and I just said that every pick you make I assume will be your last of the night 😂 ❤️

[sleek spoke]

How dare u speak about me

https://tenor.com/view/guillotine-carrot-guillotine-gif-26006989

No that’s cute

[upbeat heart]

Actual quote from me: No I think Callum will be up, but Lou goes to bed at a reasonable time so I assume she'll be asleep any pick now

[sleek spoke]

😂😂

I’m old I’m actually up late tonight

Usually I’m in bed by 9 but I had to wait for my washing machine to be done

[upbeat heart]

Jealous honstly

not of the waiting

[sleek spoke]

But i also will feel guilty for dropping out on you all so ill probably stay up

[sleek spoke]

||it’s because I’m disabled||

[upbeat heart]

You should go to sleep!

[upbeat heart]

I used to have a different sleep schedule but then I started taking prescription stimulants so now bedtime is ✨a struggle ✨

[sleek spoke]

Ah that sucks balls

I mean I assume they help you at other times but still sucks

[upbeat heart]

I wake up at the same time regardless so... naps

[upbeat heart]

Yeah, it allows me to be a functional person during the day which is a vast improvement, but I get like 6 hours of sleep on average and then collapse every so often 💀

I take a lot of fairly involuntary naps 💀

[sleek spoke]

I sometimes nap at work on lunch so I get it

[upbeat heart]

@south wharf your turn

[granite schooner]

@gaunt lark otc

Is anyone watching the bears hard knocks? I think I might have to root for them this year

The chemistry is chemistrying

[haughty kernel]

I haven’t, but I do like that team

I like Caleb and Odunze, and Moore and Swift are really reliable veterans

[granite schooner]

There’s a free safety they feature on the show who I fuck with heavy. Adrian Colbert, he’s like high minded, meditates, uses singing bowls. An absolute vibe, I hope he makes the team

[haughty kernel]

Nice

He did not 😦

[upbeat heart]

RIP

[granite schooner]

That’s why I struggle with hard knocks, you connect with players who you literally never see again lol

It sucks

[haughty kernel]

Yeah that’s a problem

[granite schooner]

Also there’s a back up QB whose dad is a world champion arm wrestler

Which is very fun

[haughty kernel]

Bagent?

[granite schooner]

Yes

@fossil granite otc

[fossil granite]

Thank you

[haughty kernel]

@static raft

Then I can pick before I shleep

COVID kicking my ass

[granite schooner]

@upbeat heart otc

[upbeat heart]

Also @haughty kernel since you’re a modly type, can you get us a role for the people in the fantasy football league that then we could use for reminders throughout the season?

Also I was about to say well, that people with mod powers can use, cause I learned us rank and file members can’t do the @ music league tag either, and then I realized that like half this league is mods?? 🧐🧐🧐

Anyway that just gives me many people to harass about tagging people with reminders 😂😂😂

So if @sleek spoke or @granite schooner or @gleaming radish want to make a tag happen for fantasy football instead be my guest, you are all well familiar with me making demands of mods ahahahahahaha

[gleaming radish]

i feel like that could def be arranged. i’m sleepy rn tho

[upbeat heart]

No actual rush

And Lou, Dictator Queen of the Discord (Lou I mean that as the highest compliment) is asleep anyway

[granite schooner]

Yeah I can figure that out tomorrow

I’m too eepy to do it properly

[sleek spoke]

<@&1280426949046439947>

[sleek spoke]

Let me know if I’ve missed anyone

And anyone in here should be able to use that tag

[sleek spoke]

Can anyone confirm if they got that tag or if it was just me

[south wharf]

I got the tag!!

[upbeat heart]

<@&1280426949046439947> do I have the power 👀👀👀

MWAHAHAAHAHAHAHA

Thank you @sleek spoke!

[sleek spoke]

Oh for fucks sake I’m removing that from you specifically Sam 😂😂😂😂😂

[upbeat heart]

No one had tested it yet!!!

Trust, I would be more annoying with bothering other people to use the tag for me than I will just doing a reminder when I remember to remind people 😂

[sleek spoke]

I tested it!

[sleek spoke]

You should also have the power for music league

[upbeat heart]

But you’re a mod and would have been able to do it anyway, I meant none of us plebs had tested it yet

[upbeat heart]

You do love me 🥹🥹🥹

[sleek spoke]

Love is a very very strong word

[upbeat heart]

But I love you 🥺

[sleek spoke]

You do 🥹

I love you too

[granite schooner]

@haughty kernel you're otc

@static raft otc

awwww man were not doing defenses in this league huh?

[gleaming radish]

or kickers

which throws me off

[haughty kernel]

keeping it simple!

[granite schooner]

makes sense, i just always love drafting the buffalo defense

though they might not have been the best choice this year anyways

[upbeat heart]

Yeah I keep thinking oh my last two rounds will be that in fact they won’t be 😂

[haughty kernel]

Have to say, I’ve drafted almost entirely on vibes

And I’m very happy

[fossil granite]

If anyone plays DFS as well and wants to nerd out on weekly stategery please let me know

[sleek spoke]

I picked someone I didn’t mean to for this round I was trying to see more info on him and hit draft 🤦🏻‍♀️

[haughty kernel]

I can fix

[sleek spoke]

No no

I made the choice

I have to live with it

[haughty kernel]

I will trade you for him

[sleek spoke]

The way you are saying that makes it sound like you think he’s good and want him and I’m not falling for that

[haughty kernel]

Hes pretty good, but it’s particularly good for my team

Miami use two really good running backs and I drafted the other one already

[granite schooner]

wait lou you dont want mostert? Id also trade with you, he went off for me last season and i was very jealous you got him

[sleek spoke]

Well that would mean i would be helping you which is against my moral code as a dictator I do apologise

[haughty kernel]

If I have them both, it doesn’t matter who gets the rushes because I’ll have them both

[sleek spoke]

No ok I’m keeping him now

Omg is this what it feels like to be fought over

[granite schooner]

yeah, if i were you id hold onto him for now

[sleek spoke]

No ones ever fought for me before

And they still aren’t but I’m claiming it

[haughty kernel]

I’d fight for you

[sleek spoke]

Please don’t Callum I am literally not worth that much

[haughty kernel]

That’s not true at all

[sleek spoke]

I already wrote my will

[haughty kernel]

Silly billy

[sleek spoke]

No as in financially

I am a fabulous person

[haughty kernel]

OH

[sleek spoke]

But financially not worth it

[haughty kernel]

well look, you’re priceless

[sleek spoke]

😂

[haughty kernel]

Literally can’t put a price on you

[sleek spoke]

My health insurance begs to differ 😂

[haughty kernel]

You have health insurance?? Alright big shot

[sleek spoke]

No but thank u you are bigging up my ego on this fine Tuesday night

[sleek spoke]

My dad pays

Despite all my issues (which are many) I’m still the cheapest one to insure (they’re old)

[haughty kernel]

Nice

[granite schooner]

@gaunt lark OTC

@static raft otc

[haughty kernel]

So I’d originally not capped the invites at 10 and someone just joined, I don’t know who it is

@marsoupial95

[granite schooner]

@upbeat heart what’ll it take for you to part with Keon?

[heavy pelican]

I have another draft tonight at 8 pm est lol so I will be toggling back and forth which will be so fun for my brain

[upbeat heart]

How much do you want him?

Do you want him Evan Engram bad?

[granite schooner]

Mmmmm not that bad

[upbeat heart]

Lol

I thought as much

Also @gleaming radish you finally got to steal a pick from me instead, I was finally gonna take a TE and I was like oh Hockensen is right there

[haughty kernel]

He’s going to miss at least a few games tho

[granite schooner]

I’m not that bad at fantasy lol

[gleaming radish]

backups are there for a reason

when he’s good he’s GOOD

[haughty kernel]

I meant for Sam

[gleaming radish]

oh yeah fair

[haughty kernel]

He needs a TE1 not a luxury IR returner

(I was definitely eyeing Hock this round)

[gleaming radish]

well atleast i’ll have this to carry on with me

[gleaming radish]

i was weighing a couple options ngl but went for it

[haughty kernel]

I like this spot for a second TE, still some good options

[upbeat heart]

I see almost no point in having a second TE if I don't have one of the premier options in the first place

I'm completely fine punting at TE compared to other options

[haughty kernel]

That’s fair

Good opportunity to hoard though

[upbeat heart]

I did that with QBs 😈

[haughty kernel]

There’s really only one TE I want left on the board tbh

Should have taken Bowers to go with Kincaid, that would fit the vibes

[heavy pelican]

My other league drafted last night and I was 12th so I got real used to picking two at once and now returning to this one I'm like...what do u mean only one pick at a time 😔

[gleaming radish]

we’ve got a day left gang

[haughty kernel]

AGAIN

@heavy pelican

Sniper my pick

@static raft otc

[meager saddle]

I believe in you all

[heavy pelican]

hehehe this time i kinda did it on purpose 😈 i had a feeling he was the only one left you would want and i realized i only had one TE and there are plenty of RBs left i can pick in the next round

[gleaming radish]

i love it haha

i only don’t love these things when it happens to me 😁

[haughty kernel]

Babe you have three TEs

Pitts, LaPorta, Goedert

[heavy pelican]

the other league i'm in is all women and one of the girls chose harrison butker as her kicker and i understand he is part of a high-powered offense so he will probably score a little of points but also...if he had his way we probably would not have this league at all

[heavy pelican]

HAHAHA I FORGOT ABOUT KYLE WHOOPS

oh well now i can hoard him from you

[gleaming radish]

no listen you need to understand he won my league for me last year unfortunately

[heavy pelican]

i also don't fully trust the atlanta offense

[gleaming radish]

you can make a good trade in the future

[granite schooner]

Haha im in another league with a bunch of ladies and queer folx and we were all talking about how no one was going to pick him up. It was the last round and i needed a kicker so i picked him.

[south wharf]

Ruthless

[granite schooner]

I justified it as "well at least im making him work for me"

[gleaming radish]

listen gotta play to win

[heavy pelican]

this is valid this is low key how i justify my job selling cruises to old white people

[haughty kernel]

@fossil granite otc

[haughty kernel]

“Shut up, get in the kitchen and kick me some points”

[granite schooner]

exactly 😂

nothing to do with our fantasy league, but im finding it interesting how many eagles fans there seem to be in the emoji reacts to this channel

@heavy pelican otc

[upbeat heart]

…huh?

[granite schooner]

There's emoji reacts at the top of my chat and like 7 people have clicked on the eagles emoji

[upbeat heart]

Ohhh

I thought you meant like in-line reacts in the conversation and I was so baffled

[granite schooner]

like are there really that many eagles fans here? Are they weirdly popular with the uk/european contingent of this discord?

[upbeat heart]

A certain amount of that is going to be bias in what reacts are even available

Easier to glom on to what someone else has already reacted

[granite schooner]

@sleek spoke otc

[south wharf]

No Panthers react 😞

Why did I marry into a crappy team family

(JK I’m glad I don’t have to watch Pro football regularly)

[granite schooner]

you know it, gotta press those buttons!!!

[sleek spoke]

@south wharf otc

Not me sitting in the hospital car park choosing

[upbeat heart]

Well done

Commitment

[south wharf]

I know I’m just ~at work~

[granite schooner]

how dare you work!

[sleek spoke]

I just had my pick so thought I’d let the next person know ☺️

No rush darling get your dollar

[south wharf]

I am working harder than the auto pick feature in this app for sure 😂

[granite schooner]

chuba hubbard is a WILD name lol

[gleaming radish]

sam everytime he sees a quarterback: i’ll take that thank you

[upbeat heart]

There are likely to be 20 QBs started in our fantasy league, and there are only 32 starting quarterbacks in the actual NFL

I am exploiting a valuable resource

And if Drake Maye becomes the thing everyone thinks he might, someone will pay me for him when byes hit and people are scrambling 💁🏻‍♂️

[gleaming radish]

i kinda wish we had kickers ngl

[upbeat heart]

It’s VERY WEIRD to me not having K/DEF

[gleaming radish]

i love watching my kicker stressing every week

[granite schooner]

yeah, i really enjoy having kickers

they all have really great names right now too

[gleaming radish]

they add a little bit of spice

dicker the kicker my mother says often

[granite schooner]

tyler bass of the bills allows for many great team name puns

[south wharf]

Is it bass like the fish or bass like the instrument

[upbeat heart]

Gosh edit: okay autocorrect

[granite schooner]

bass like the fish

[upbeat heart]

I typed Fish without a typo

Autocorrect was like no you didn’t

[granite schooner]

not to bother you again, but @sleek spoke otc

@heavy pelican otc

[sleek spoke]

I was in Tesco that time but made my pick

I keep wanting to pick C. Otton because that’s hilarious

[haughty kernel]

Can’t believe Kristina is making me wait to get sniped again

[heavy pelican]

sorry I was off taking old people's money again 🙂‍↕️

[granite schooner]

damn you kristina!!!

will was on my list!!

@static raft otc

[heavy pelican]

wow I am so good at this

[granite schooner]

@gaunt lark otc

if they start failing me and I lose miserably every week I will remember that at least I was a successful sniper once

how many hours do you guys want me to drag this out

😂🫶

…..oh dear i’m being pulled into a meeting byeeeeeeee

kidding i’ll make my pick momentarily

[granite schooner]

yay, we did it!!!

no offense Callum and it made sense considering all the different time zones in here, but I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate slow drafts. Could you tell? 😂

alright, now to come up with my team name and see who im playing this week to start the shit talking

oooooooo thisll be good, @upbeat heart YOU'RE GOING DOWN

[upbeat heart]

Omg VisaCashAppRunningBacks is such a good team name I’m mad

I wish I had thought of that

Incredible

[gleaming radish]

god that’s fantastic

[south wharf]

Oh hell no now I also have to come up with a punny team name

[haughty kernel]

Yeah I’m very bad at those

[south wharf]

@upbeat heart 🙄

🙄🙄🙄

(All of those are directed at Sam)

[haughty kernel]

Yes I could 🤣

[granite schooner]

omg @heavy pelican you are on fire with these names

Scuderia Nacua is brilliant

[heavy pelican]

I loved everyone else's names!!

[haughty kernel]

Visacashapprunningbacks is unassailable

[sleek spoke]

How do I change my team name

I haven’t got my glasses on so explain it dumbly

Figured it out

[heavy pelican]

Lou pls 💀

Such a threatening team name

[sleek spoke]

I am <@&969285455327682572>

(I really hope I am actually the only one with that tag)

I am it’s all good

Can you tell that touchdown is the only word I really know

[granite schooner]

also while im thinking of it, people who haven't played fantasy before, make sure you pay attention to injuries and play status, which will be next too the players names on your rosters in abbreviations

Probable - Very likely to play

Questionable - Player has a 50/50 chance to play

Doubtful - Player is very unlikely to play

Out - Player will not play

Suspended - Player is suspended and will not play

IR - Player is critically injured and will not play

PUP - Physically Unable to Perform and will not play

i remember that confusing the hell out of me when i started playing fantasy

Players will have these marks probably until the morning of their games and then their designation will change if or if not their play.

[south wharf]

(Sorry I know this is helpful for people that are actually competitive! But im just here to vibe)

[haughty kernel]

I decided to just amuse @heavy pelican with my name

[upbeat heart]

You don’t have to do anything, from here on out

[upbeat heart]

It’s so good I’m furious about it

I wish I had come up with it

Who is that? I don’t want to tag the wrong person to tell them how much I love their fantasy football team name

[south wharf]

Not gonna lie I’m hoping putting no effort into it somehow works

[upbeat heart]

For that to work, you will need to at least make sure you aren’t starting anyone who is not actually playing that week

But as long as you’re starting a complete lineup, you honestly have as good a chance at winning as anyone, randomness is a powerful variable 💀

[sleek spoke]

So PUP isn’t that they have a v cute dog

[granite schooner]

Unfortunately not 🤣

[sleek spoke]

That’s incredibly disappoonting

So if someone’s a Q should I move them?

[granite schooner]

You can leave them, they’ll most likely be healthy and play

[sleek spoke]

We are not paired to fight so I will trust you

[haughty kernel]

You don’t need to worry about injury stuff until Thursday

[sleek spoke]

It is Thursday in a few hours

[south wharf]

It’s also not the Canadian punk band apparently

[gleaming radish]

so if i told you this you wouldn’t believe me?

[sleek spoke]

https://tenor.com/view/no-trust-gif-21949775

Half an hour before their game that will resolve to either playing or not playing

God willing

[haughty kernel]

I’m a Giants fan but Lamar is my favourite player

[meager saddle]

I hate everyone else and also why I can’t play fantasy football because I don’t care about other teams that much

I have too many sports in my head.

Only basketball is below other teams.

[gleaming radish]

i’m sorry

[meager saddle]

Ah well. Nevertheless.

[haughty kernel]

Yeah it’s been a fun time

[gleaming radish]

that’s a very positive way to look at it

[haughty kernel]

I started following the NFL in 2015

I’m on my fifth coach I think

[gleaming radish]

we may suck now but atleast we got super bowls in my childhood

so i can survive

you missed out on the great times with eli

[haughty kernel]

Yeah I got there just in time for them to bench him out of spite to break his starting streak

For Geno Smith

[gleaming radish]

damn so it was your fault

[meager saddle]

My team has managed to lose 3 super bowls in 12 years.

In the most dramatic of fashions.

[haughty kernel]

Could be worse, could be a Falcons fan

[meager saddle]

🫣

Or… Bills.

[haughty kernel]

True story, I was at a bar watching that Super Bowl

[meager saddle]

My brother is a cowboys fan.

I have to disown him.

[haughty kernel]

I left at half time because it was 3am and I was exhausted and it was over

[gleaming radish]

if any of you are up on nfl lore my running joke in my house is that i love josh allen i really do but i trust that he’s the only person that can take them to 4 super bowls again and lose them all again and my mom goes “he has to get there first”

[haughty kernel]

Lamar 🤝 Josh Allen
Having nothing to show for all that talent

[meager saddle]

Oh buffalo

[gleaming radish]

the four falls of buffalo my most watched 30 for 30

[meager saddle]

Gonna do them all in a row again?

[gleaming radish]

oh 100%

i believe he can do it

i grew up a steelers fan but i also was a hardcore peyton manning fan

[meager saddle]

The Niners took a couple years off between them but it’s really for the best to get them out of the way like that.

My dad loved Peyton because he’s a Vols fan.

[gleaming radish]

i hold a vendetta against the colts for life for how they did peyton

[meager saddle]

My southern family has a Vols/Bama divide and I stay out of it.

[gleaming radish]

oh dear that’s a rough one

[meager saddle]

I should have gone to a football school here to have loyalty but neither of my schools did.

Damn. Missed opportunity to be a Cal fan.

Something that would bother them would be Berkeley.

I want to know why I have to wait until Monday. Why did I get Monday night football? I explicitly ask for non national games. Also, the Jets?

Monday Night Football and Sunday Night Baseball ruin my whole month.

[gleaming radish]

i’ve got 1pm on sunday my fav slot

[meager saddle]

That’s the true time.

[gleaming radish]

i’m going to the steelers cowboys sunday night game in october

[meager saddle]

I hope the Steelers win

[gleaming radish]

me too obvi haha

[meager saddle]

I’ve been to one game. I’m kind of in the dead zone of 6 hours plus to the closest team to actually go in person. Having to do all that driving through San Francisco all the way to San Jose tires me out.

They shouldn’t have moved without consulting me.

Alas.

[gleaming radish]

this would only be my second

with my same friend who took me last time

[meager saddle]

My goal is to collect games in each league. I’ve done the big four.

[gleaming radish]

pirates and penguins? i’ve been to a ton

steelers is harder

[meager saddle]

I’ve been to like 4 Sharks games.

It’s easier even though it’s downtown San Jose.

But the outskirts? Next to a theme park? Just die. 🫣

[gleaming radish]

my penguins number is stacked because i worked for the team 😂

[meager saddle]

That would do it.

[gleaming radish]

i count games i worked for the tally

[meager saddle]

I would.

[gleaming radish]

but no my college was literally walking distance from the arena so i went to a game a month usually eith student rush ($15) tickets

aside from working there

sometimes our tickets were lower bowl too

cause day of they just sold us what was leftover

[meager saddle]

I live way out in the middle of nowhere so it’s always a big undertaking for any big four game.

Like a hotel night or two.

[gleaming radish]

i’ve been to all of the big 4 now thanks to my denver trip last year

[meager saddle]

Which team was the last one

[gleaming radish]

warriors nuggets nba game

warriors my beloveds

[meager saddle]

My only NBA game was at Oracle Arena before they moved back to SF.

I see Chase Center from Oracle Park and go— hmm.

I probably should go to one.

[gleaming radish]

i literally went to denver and went to the olympic and paralympic museum, went to a nuggets game and then an avalanche game

sports week

[meager saddle]

I should have rented a car for Denver. I went to see the Rockies and had nothing else to do.

Couldn’t do a sports weekend.

[gleaming radish]

my friend was living there at the time so i stayed with her for 10 days

[sleek spoke]

If I watch one of the games on Sunday can I ask all my questions in here

[meager saddle]

Yes

[haughty kernel]

Absolutely

The best way to watch NFL is Redzone, which is on Sky Sports Mix

[sleek spoke]

I’ll use my dads sky sports log in hehe

[meager saddle]

I’ve never watched red zone

It’s an upgrade surcharge on my dad’s cable.

[sleek spoke]

What’s red zone

[gleaming radish]

y’all get it built into your sky sports?

not $700 like it is here

[gleaming radish]

i think you should i personally am excited to convince you to be fan by the end of the season

[sleek spoke]

I think the Sunday 1pm one is the only one I can really watch

[gleaming radish]

but it’s basically wraparound coverage

[granite schooner]

Callum, I’m so sorry you actually picked too root for the Giants. I was born into this so I had absolutely no choice.

[gleaming radish]

so they’ll jump to and from different games

[gleaming radish]

well there’s about 6 going on at that time

which is why red zone is good

[sleek spoke]

Oh yeah there’s 32 teams

Not like in rugby

I’m going to a rugby match tomorrow night shall I try and convert you all to rugby

[gleaming radish]

yep that’s why not everyone plays everyone

not enough weeks

[haughty kernel]

It’s actually included with regular Sky

Don’t even need Sky Sports (which I have for F1 but wouldn’t otherwise)

[gleaming radish]

damn that’s nice

i wish

[upbeat heart]

Amazing

[upbeat heart]

My ex became a cowboys fan

[haughty kernel]

Also a Giants sufferer? Could be worse, could be a Jets fan

[upbeat heart]

As if in retrospect there weren’t enough red flags

[haughty kernel]

Yeah that’s awful

[granite schooner]

This is true lol, there’s always that

[heavy pelican]

Sometimes YouTube tv has multi view?? So we'll see how they favor me on Sunday

I feel the need to out myself as a cowboys fan here

[upbeat heart]

Yeah you will only lose a limb wading into that

[haughty kernel]

ROLL TIDE

[heavy pelican]

That meme about cowboys fan 🤝 Ferrari fan hurts me bc it's true

[haughty kernel]

I’m a Longhorns fan but Alabama are number two for my buddy Tommy

[upbeat heart]

Oooh

[south wharf]

I keep trying to mute this channel but my discord isn’t letting me for some reason

[upbeat heart]

It’s incredible the number of sports decisions that happen without your input

Like look at all of Williams

[haughty kernel]

I went to a Giants game on my first honeymoon, and it was truly awful

All the wide receivers got hurt including OBJ

OBJ is the reason I’m a Giants fan really

But we did win that trade objectively

[upbeat heart]

I’m so incredibly jealous

[upbeat heart]

Oh noooo

[haughty kernel]

Tough

Your in it now

Pick a team

[upbeat heart]

Or we will assign you one

[south wharf]

Team scammed by @upbeat heart

I was told this would be no work

[haughty kernel]

You were lied to

[south wharf]

I was indeed!!

[haughty kernel]

So pick a team

[south wharf]

For what 😂

[upbeat heart]

An NFL team to officially support

[south wharf]

Ughhhhhh I married into a panthers family

[haughty kernel]

Well look, that’s fun

Rookie QB

[south wharf]

Someone find out which nfl team has the most former Hokies

[haughty kernel]

he might be shite but still

[south wharf]

Where did he go to college

[haughty kernel]

Bama

You’ve got Tremaine Edmunds and Khalil Herbert on the Bears

[south wharf]

Okay that’s fine. I’ll take anywhere except Florida State or UVA

So I guess Panthers

All the Pro games I’ve been to are panthers games

[meager saddle]

😡

[haughty kernel]

Seems like a good choice

TIL Jadaveon Clowney is on the Panthers now

[upbeat heart]

No this was sincere, I don’t know why they won’t let you fix them, you could

[sleek spoke]

You can’t mute threads

Who should I support, is there a cute buzzfeed quiz I can do

[meager saddle]

Unfollow might be the option

Maybe. I don’t know how these things work.

[haughty kernel]

https://nflteampicker.nfl.com/ @sleek spoke

[sleek spoke]

I don’t have an unfollow button for the love island chat and I’m desperate to get out of that

[sleek spoke]

It does not work on mobile I will do when I get home

[haughty kernel]

EWWWWW

[heavy pelican]

I have a mute button for threads!! I had to click on the thread name to find it

[south wharf]

I have the button too but when I choose it and click “until I tell you not to” it doesn’t do anything

[heavy pelican]

Boo yeah okay I just tried that

[heavy pelican]

That's dumb why give us the button then

[heavy pelican]

nope don't do that pls try again

[sleek spoke]

Why

[heavy pelican]

They are a miserable franchise

[sleek spoke]

Matches me perfectly then

I’ll do it properly when I get home it keeps glitching out on my phone

[south wharf]

I will take this quiz this afternoon I’m curious. It feels like a personality test.

If it’s fun I might have my work team do this and then discuss for one of our social meetings 😂

Watch the hardcore eagles fan on my team get mad when he doesn’t get the eagles

[sleek spoke]

This came up the second time but it still glitched a lot

[meager saddle]

Oh no

[south wharf]

lol love everyone just being like “no”

[haughty kernel]

This is acceptable, though Jason Kelce is retired now

[heavy pelican]

As a cowboys fan I will be obligated to hate you but that was also the case with the commanders and the giants fans in this chat

But also I am married to an eagles fan and my best friend is a giants fan and I live like 35 min from where the commanders play so rough times for me all around 😂

[haughty kernel]

Aww bestie 💜

[heavy pelican]

Well that's unfortunate

[meager saddle]

https://tenor.com/view/michael-scott-mexican-standoff-the-office-finger-guns-thumbs-up-gif-11627031

You and me.

[meager saddle]

This is a crime.

[heavy pelican]

tbf having a giants fan for a bestie has made me feel like I don't even hate the giants anymore, I just pity them lol

[frigid crystal]

Lol. I’m not even a Cowboys fan but living in DFW and working in sports media there, I too hate the Eagles now

?

[south wharf]

It’s not uploading the photo I don’t know why

But I got the Bengals from the quiz

So I was saying yeah, sure, the Bengals why not

[heavy pelican]

It's a very deep hatred! When they won the Super Bowl I was trying so hard to be excited for my husband but I was also so disgusted

[heavy pelican]

You're destined to like an animal team it seems

[frigid crystal]

I mean…the Bengals to me are like Denny Hamlin. It’ll always be their year until it isn’t

[south wharf]

I’m okay with this TBH. Animals are cool mascots

[frigid crystal]

The sports rivalry hatred is real

[heavy pelican]

apparently that quiz also gives you backup options 🫠

The most ironic thing about my cowboys fandom/eagles hatred is I was born in Philly and raised in Virginia so theoretically I should be an eagles or commanders fan but alas lolol

[south wharf]

Even more specifically it’s the CAT teams which I’m even more okay with

[gleaming radish]

well i have to hate you i’m sorry

[frigid crystal]

I mean….the Cowboy’s fanbase is big for a reason. I know a ton of Canadian hockey media people who are fans of them

[meager saddle]

Ugh

[heavy pelican]

America's Team, baby!! (And maybe Canada's?? I feel like there's a lot of Mexican fans too bc of the proximity)

[meager saddle]

Ugh

[heavy pelican]

So really it is just North America's Team 😂

[meager saddle]

Mexico is really strong Niners territory

They might split the country more than Canada.

[heavy pelican]

YES I noticed that too but then callum pointed out the two Hokies on the bears I think

[heavy pelican]

That's valid I do not pay attention to the Niners except immense hatred when we play each other so I would not know that

[sleek spoke]

I’m now trying to do it on my laptop and it’s going super well

Is this better

[meager saddle]

There is no right answers only wrong

[sleek spoke]

I did a buzzfeed one and got KC Chiefs

[meager saddle]

Popular choice recently

[south wharf]

I got the packers from the BuzzFeed quiz

I think it’s because I put the cold snowy lake house as my dream house

[sleek spoke]

Hmmm I would have no thought as to why

[south wharf]

I did rather like Milwaukee

[sleek spoke]

Ngl i did fiddle with my choices a bit on the NFL website one to stop getting commanders. Apparently being a reliable history nerd who loves a national park means you’re a commanders person

[meager saddle]

I made this when they changed their name.

[gleaming radish]

i miss the washington football team

was hoping for some miracle that they could’ve won the superbowl as the washington football team

[meager saddle]

That would have been so funny

[south wharf]

I really wish they’d just kept the Washington football team

[haughty kernel]

this is not bad, they have a second year QB that's really good

🥵🥵

[south wharf]

Okay I tried removing the following button at the top

Bye!!! Someone DM me once fantasy is over and tell me I am last!!!

[haughty kernel]

Just watched the highlights, football is so fucking back

[upbeat heart]

After doing nothing but fantasy football for like three days, I flew to my sister's (where I am now) and then just completely failed to look at either of my lineups before last night 💀 💀 💀

However, Rashee Rice in my flex in my other league outscored my sister starting Patrick Mahomes against me, so that was pretty great

it would be nice if that kept up

[meager saddle]

Thursday night football snuck up on you.

[upbeat heart]

It did!

Part of it was also because I'm a timezone off

[haughty kernel]

Hopefully Rice goes to jail sooner rather than later

[upbeat heart]

https://tenor.com/view/shhh-shush-silence-nose-gif-17895433

I mean I could deal, that's an 8-team friends and family league with intentionally short benches and there are like a hard maximum of five people who actually play, so I can pick up whoever the fuck is good on waivers if I need

[meager saddle]

The Eagles and packers are playing in São Paulo tonight so don’t forget

I forgot.

[sleek spoke]

@haughty kernel what’s the best app to get nfl scores in the UK

[haughty kernel]

Honestly the Sleeper app

Second button from the left

[sleek spoke]

Oh nice, saves me another app

I got very confused for a second with the other sports on there

But I figured it out

I wish it had more sports

[haughty kernel]

Yeah it’s actually a good app for scores and stats generally

[sleek spoke]

I was like “there’s an nfl team called KC Royals I thought they were the chiefs” and then I realised different sports

[meager saddle]

Ah yes.

[granite schooner]

lol wait what? Is he supposed to go to jail?

[haughty kernel]

He caused a six car pile up by street racing

[upbeat heart]

There’s been charges pending for A While but the NFL isn’t going to do anything until the real law enforcement does their thing and they have not yet done their thing

Is my understanding

[gleaming radish]

nope absolutely never unless you want to kneel then you’ll get blacklisted from the nfl forever 🤗

nfl when they see people with criminal charges that want to play football: come on in!!

[haughty kernel]

Unless you were Mike Vick

[upbeat heart]

Not allowed: social justice causes, hurting animals

Allowed: hurting humans, including domestic partners, etc

[sleek spoke]

I mean I agree with the hurting animals being banned?

[upbeat heart]

No that is correct

But there’s a LOT of domestic violence/assault of other people that the NFL looks the other way on

[sleek spoke]

Ok good I was slightly concerned Sam!

[haughty kernel]

They threw the book at Mike Vick for running dog fights, mostly because he was black

While a guy who admitted to beating his kids with a switch was all good

[sleek spoke]

Yeah most of my knowledge of the NFL has been DV, CTE and the Kelce brothers

[haughty kernel]

Etc etc

[upbeat heart]

Yeah this is the problem

[sleek spoke]

Sorry just to confirm, the gaming device or a tree branch

[haughty kernel]

Tree branch

[sleek spoke]

I mean asshole either way I’m not saying a gaming device would be better I just needed to know

[upbeat heart]

SCREAMING

[haughty kernel]

Vick was always complicated because obviously running dog fights is bad, but the league already hated him

For the crime of being excellent while black

[gleaming radish]

100%

[sleek spoke]

They’ve got a similar shaped ball here

[upbeat heart]

And? What did you learn?

[meager saddle]

No I got distracted

[upbeat heart]

Boooo

[meager saddle]

They’re soft shell covers to the helmets to reduce concussions. Already 50% extra protection. Executives were upset at the sound difference. 🤮

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/what-are-guardian-caps-explaining-nfls-new-helmet-coverings-for-2024-season/

I manage to hit the top of my head on things like gym lockers, car door frames. I’ve had concussions from that. I need to us.

[haughty kernel]

Goodell said recently they are testing new helmets that are better than the guardian cap, so it’s likely only a temporary thing anyway

[meager saddle]

He doesn’t want a third party out innovating the league

[granite schooner]

Man wtf is going on this season??? It feels like it’s all over the place

Phew chase marked healthy

[sleek spoke]

How long does a game take usually

[haughty kernel]

3-4 hours

That’s why you watch Redzone

[sleek spoke]

And I thought UK football was bad

Ok I’m trying to find it on the skysports website

[haughty kernel]

Channel 416 on Sky

[sleek spoke]

I don’t have a sky box

[haughty kernel]

What do you have

[sleek spoke]

I log into the sky sports website through my dads virgin media log in

[haughty kernel]

If it works for other sports channels I assume it will be there, just further down the list

[sleek spoke]

Yes from 6 until 1am

Found it

[haughty kernel]

And then at 1am there’s another game, but it’s the only one on

[sleek spoke]

There is a sky sports nfl channel too but does that show like the whole games

Yes it does

[haughty kernel]

Yeah it shows a selected game in each time slot

[sleek spoke]

Oh my god there’s so many games right now

[haughty kernel]

Yep!

[meager saddle]

Most of them would be today.

[sleek spoke]

I feel like this was perhaps not the best option for me? Because I am so confused already

Wait I just heard a commentator complimenting a guys nails I did not expect to hear that in the NFL

What does “2nd & 5” mean

Or the other numbers superimposed

[haughty kernel]

They are on their second of four attempts to go ten yards, and they have to go at least another five yards

[sleek spoke]

Oh that makes sense

[haughty kernel]

They have numbers at every 10 yards

[sleek spoke]

So 1st and goal they’re on their 1st chance to go for the goal?

[haughty kernel]

Yes

[sleek spoke]

Yes I have been sent a TikTok explaining things for dumb people

[haughty kernel]

Ask any questions you want! Happy to help

[haughty kernel]

This is rookie QB Caleb Williams for the Bears, he’s cool

[sleek spoke]

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeKL19GT/

This was the TikTok

Oh I just saw something - is there a timer for when they have to start a play?

[meager saddle]

Yeah that is a play clock. If it runs out they get a penalty for delaying the game.

[sleek spoke]

That’s good

[meager saddle]

I believe it’s 40 seconds after the last play ended.

[sleek spoke]

Oh is the Miami game at the same place as the F1 race

[meager saddle]

Yes.

The whole paddock was on the field.

[sleek spoke]

I thought I recognised the name

What’s the flag

Does the NFL have salary caps

[haughty kernel]

Yes

[sleek spoke]

Oh I googled that’s hilarious compared to our rugby union cap 😂

[haughty kernel]

Yeah it’s a different universe

[sleek spoke]

Our cap wouldn’t pay for 1 player

[upbeat heart]

The time slots (in US time) are Thursday night, Sunday midday, Sunday afternoon, Sunday night, and Monday night

But there is one (1) game happening each of the night slots

There are like 4-6ish games per week in the late afternoon Sunday, and all the rest of the games are midday Sunday (US time)

[sleek spoke]

I thought it was Sunday 1pm not midday?

[meager saddle]

Sunday 1pm in the time zone for the home team is standard game time.

Games outside of that are special national tv slots.

They keep adding more. Monday Night and Sunday night used to be it. Now we got Thursdays and Saturdays.

[sleek spoke]

lol that was funny when the bengals lost the ball

[meager saddle]

It’s the bengals.

I see they haven’t changed.

[haughty kernel]

Love a failed goal line lateral

[sleek spoke]

So the penalties give distance to the other team?

[haughty kernel]

Yes

[granite schooner]

Well looks like my instinct about the bills were right

[sleek spoke]

Do you only hear the ref when they’re announcing a penalty?

[haughty kernel]

Yeah I’ve been fading them this year

[haughty kernel]

Yeah

[sleek spoke]

Booo

How are we an hour and 20 minutes in but not 30 minutes into some of the matches

[haughty kernel]

The game clock isn’t really anything to do with how long the game takes

It’s a resource the teams use

[sleek spoke]

That’s insanity

[plush flare]

5 minutes of the play clock can actually be like 15-30 minutes of real time. Football games take forever

[upbeat heart]

It’s 1pm Eastern time, which means it’s noon in my home time zone and 11am in my current time zone

So I generalized to “midday”

[meager saddle]

For east coast teams yes

[haughty kernel]

It’s going to be another long year to be a Giants fan

[upbeat heart]

I mean the time is the same regardless of who’s playing 😂

I feel like the central time zone teams play in the early slot a lot too

Vibes of the bears and colts always being in the early slot

[sleek spoke]

Why is there a fucking bell rolling

Tolling

[heavy pelican]

Lou!! Your team is killing it!

[sleek spoke]

Are they

Who’s my team

My fantasy team?

Oh wow

[sleek spoke]

Ok so I didn’t watch until the end of the matches coz I was falling asleep on the sofa but thank you for answering all my dumb questions

[haughty kernel]

That’s fair, we’re also struggling

[sleek spoke]

I was up early this morning with a nose bleed so it’s been a long day

Not looking like a great week for me in fantasy

Fuck Joe burrow, he’s a fraud

[sleek spoke]

I’m doing well which can only mean I will suddenly be not doing well from next week

[meager saddle]

Still one more game for the week if you have anyone from Jets or Niners.

I will still be driving home from work when it starts. Smh.

The #Cowboys and QB Dak Prescott have a deal! He gets a 4-year deal worth a record $240M(!) with $231M guaranteed, per me and @TomPelissero.

Owner Jerry Jones and agent Todd France and his team from @AthletesFirst closed it out. The NFL’s biggest question answered.

A surprise: #49ers RB Christian McCaffrey is inactive tonight against the #Jets, sources tell me and @RapSheet. McCaffrey was listed as questionable after being limited in practice last week with calf/Achilles injuries. McCaffrey had expressed confidence he would play.

Puka is on the IR and I have him in both of my leagues 😭😭

[meager saddle]

We are so back

🤕

[granite schooner]

I’m so angry lol I knew I should have taken him out of my roster when I had the chance

[meager saddle]

I just want a first down

[meager saddle]

Istg these penalties

Im going to Santa Clara and I’m gonna start throwing tables

[upbeat heart]

This league has an IR slot at least!

So you can keep him while he’s out

[heavy pelican]

Yes I just have to wait til tonight's game ends to move him so I can't pick anyone else up yet 😒

Well. I would like to thank the Jets for two failed two point conversions. I guess.

[haughty kernel]

Love a good scorigami

[sleek spoke]

On the standings what does “waiver” mean

[haughty kernel]

The order of priority in which you can pick up players who aren’t currently on a team

[sleek spoke]

Ok so if I’m waiver 4

[haughty kernel]

That means you can put in a claim for a player who isn’t on a team, and as long as the people with waiver 1-3 don’t claim the same player you will get him when waivers process tomorrow

[sleek spoke]

Interesting!

[haughty kernel]

Also I just changed it so your number is going to be worse, soz

[sleek spoke]

Why

[haughty kernel]

it was on the wrong setting

[upbeat heart]

I was wondering!

[sleek spoke]

It’s still showing me as 4

First and last time I’ll have the crown it’s been great thanks for having me

[haughty kernel]

We’ve created a monster

[meager saddle]

Lou for commissioner.

[sleek spoke]

I think it’s clear I should just run every sports league and country in the world

[sleek spoke]

Do I need to look at the team today

[meager saddle]

It’s the dolphins and bills tonight

[gleaming radish]

you should just check and make sure no one’s playing

[sleek spoke]

Miami dolphins? I have one of their players

[meager saddle]

Yes

[sleek spoke]

I have 2 of their players

[haughty kernel]

Thursday is the day to check your lineups

[sleek spoke]

But what does that mean

[haughty kernel]

Check you don’t have any players in your lineup who are injured basically

[sleek spoke]

Oh and move them out if they are

[haughty kernel]

Ya

[sleek spoke]

If someone’s questionable

[haughty kernel]

If they’re questionable, maybe put them in a flex spot so you can swap them out before they don’t play on Sunday

Tua got another head injury?!

[gleaming radish]

i feel awful i had said earlier in the night if he gets another he needs to consider calling it quits and then….

feel for him

[meager saddle]

Is he wearing the new helmet cover

[gleaming radish]

i just hope he has people in his life that will help him especially if he can’t make the right calls for himself

[gleaming radish]

no

[meager saddle]

It’s just gonna keep happening 🥲

[gleaming radish]

yeah that’s why i hope he has someone that tells him to consider the rest of his life

[meager saddle]

Dont take after Brett “1,000” concussion Farve

[sleek spoke]

How do you move people around on sleeper

[gleaming radish]

look at you team and then click on the position and it’ll give you options to change for each one

[sleek spoke]

Ah magic

I had clicked on everything except that

[gleaming radish]

it took me a bit to figure it out too haha

i’ve never used sleeper before this year and both of my leagues are using it

[granite schooner]

He did, it’s awful. At minimum they should be teaching him techniques to avoid this, like that tackle that resulted in a concussion he should have slid. And requiring a guardian cap

But also if I were him, I wouldn’t be playing at all.

[sleek spoke]

I have Tua on my team 🙃

[haughty kernel]

Ouch

I have in my main dynasty league too, so all this retirement talk is freaking me out

49ers ruled out RB Christian McCaffrey for Sunday’s game vs. the Vikings due to his calf injury and Achilles tendonitis.

MAN FUCK THIS SHIT

These top guy running back injury’s always fuck me over

[meager saddle]

I know. I’ve been in mourning. Staring out the window at work.

[upbeat heart]

In my friends and family league, I was really glad to have the second pick because it meant I didn't have to meaningfully consider drafting him

because I didn't want to because I just felt like he was going to get hurt again

Which is purely vibes, but also like 90% of fantasy football is vibes so

[gleaming radish]

so listen i had the week 2 nick chubb injury last year and still won my league

[gleaming radish]

no i also agree with this though

[granite schooner]

I know it goes both ways, but I have been burned before by that bastard Jonathan taylor

Wow a first down im so proud

[granite schooner]

Really need Joey burrow to step it the fuck up here or I will bench him next week (depending on the opponent)

[granite schooner]

Anyone want to trade for Joe lol?

[haughty kernel]

I love the range of emotions you went through here

He will be out a minimum of four games.

Twitter · Sep 17, 2024, 8:01 PM

@sleek spoke make sure you bench him if you havent already

[sleek spoke]

Oh god

How

Help

Fix my team please

[granite schooner]

if you go to your roster it should give you the option to move him to IR and then put in a different QB

[sleek spoke]

I did it 🎉

I don’t have any other QB

[granite schooner]

no one else? You can pick people up from waivers if you need them

[sleek spoke]

Ok I think I’ve figured something out

[sleek spoke]

He wasn’t in the QB spot he was in the random spot

How do I pick up players?

[granite schooner]

click the player's button and then sort by whatever player position you need

also lou, make sure unless he is injured you are always playing jalen hurts

if i were you id pick up at least one or two QB's

[sleek spoke]

I did it

I added a QB and a WR
