I guess my FanDuel teams fit this thread, but with just Monday night to go, I am winning money in both of my $2 entries. One of them I am not confident in holding on to, but the other one I got a nice 20 pt cushion thanks to me being shrewed. I took Prescott and Bailey on both teams, but I took Beasley on the one that scored higher tonight.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 25, 2016 -> 08:43 PM) When your favorite team gives up 3 rushing touchdowns, but zero from the starting RB on your fantasy team. .. Prescott, Morris, and who got the 3rd? EDIT: Oh Dunbar, man, that is unlucky.

I got f***ing smoked, so playing Gronk didn't come back to hurt me at all. However, the two trades I had lined up (Murray for Landry) and possibly (Hopkins for Elliot) have both become a lot more uncertain after Hopkins had a bad game, and Murray only had a decent game because he had a 22-yard TD run. Landry had 120 yards and a TD, and Elliot rushed for 140 yards. Both guys wanted to wait until the games today to decide on the trades, so now I'm pretty worried.

Ugh, this is so f***ed up. Some guys and I were talking at work. Who the last young star to die in pro sports? Closest I could think of was Oscar Tavares, but even though he was the #1 prospect in the sport, he wasn't a star yet. My buddy mentioned some basketball player, but I don't follow that sport. EDIT: Sean Taylor comes to mind now.

QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Sep 25, 2016 -> 08:46 AM) Didntheynleave the field after the reality show star left the stage? I'm guessing not. Reality show star? You can just say you don't know who Kanye West is it would save everyone time.

QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Sep 25, 2016 -> 01:53 AM) Ladies and gentlemen, the last concert at sox park! Meh, they didn't cause any trouble when they got to the field, they just need to figure out that people may use the bullpen as way to get to the field and staff security there. Or maybe if someone as big as Kanye is going to show up, let the people/security know when! That place lost it's mind when he appeared.

Wow, Kanye surprise appearance looked like a modern Disco Demo night. Floods of people jumping over fences and in to the bullpen bar and over porta-potties to get to the stage. Security didn't even try to stop the waves of hundreds of kids charging.

Damn, parking is $30 and no tailgating allowed? I assume that means like no cooking or setting up tents. But I have to believe we can pop the trunk and sit on the back and get wasted, right?

QUOTE (Tony @ Sep 23, 2016 -> 11:46 PM) So what's the Cubs excuse? The Phillies? The Mets? Yeah, and you know the Hawks and Bulls, tops in each their sports in attendance, always hurting to try to book Frozen on ice to keep the lights on.

A Murray/Hopkins for Bell/Landry swap might just happen....I offered Bernard too, to sweeten the pot. He says he wants to think about it over the weekend though.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Sep 23, 2016 -> 09:35 PM) For about the last 4-5 weeks I have been using Vue by getting free trials every week with a new account (can't believe they haven't stopped this yet). And I like it. Sometimes the sports channels aren't a smooth stream but still good (not sure why that happens), I usually restart the app and it works better. The DVR kind of sucks but it does the job if you just want to record shows and watch them within 28 days but I heard recording sports is really hard to do. I haven't tried Sling TV at all because I am satisfied with what Vue has been doing. am still able to get endless free trials. Fixed it for ya.

I contacted the owners of David Johnson and Ezekiel Elliot. Johnson's owner saw my message, didn't reply. Elliot owner said he would wait until after Dallas's game this week to decide. I'm thinking maybe I should just do the Murray/Landry swap and then worry about moving Hopkins during the week? Worst case scenario, I roll in to next week with Melvin Gordon and Crowell as my RB1 and RB2, with my WR as Hopkins/Landry and Decker flex.

I will probably end up getting Sling, since I can Chromecast it. I don't think Vue has that option yet.

QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Sep 23, 2016 -> 10:38 AM) That's only 2500 seats lost. And field seating usually covers that difference. As for the sox, they took out 6800 seats. The stated capacity of 40k factors in the outfield seats. There's no way they allow 7000 people on roger bossards field two days before a game. They opened up seating in the OF, behind the stage. I know because that where my seats are for tomorrow.

Or should I try to expand the trade to something like Hopkins and Murray for Landry and LeVeon Bell?

I got offered Jarvis Landry for Latavius Murray. Hmm...no idea what to do here. Non-PPR league, but my team is already WR heavy with Hopkins, Decker, Baldwin, Fuller, Wallace. And my RBs are Murray, Gordon, Crowell, Bernard, Asiata. Or should I do the deal, and then try to trade Hopkins for an RB1? So my top 2 WR would be Landry/Decker. And my top 2 RB would be something like David Johnson/Elliot/some other top RB and then Gordon with Crowell/Baldwin as my flex options?

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Sep 22, 2016 -> 06:51 PM) Anybody else starting Gronk tonight? I did. Ebron was my backup option. So far, it's the 3rd quarter and he hasn't had a single throw go his way and I've only seen him in for 2 plays (I've only seen a few drives).

And my outside-the-box pick... Gary Disarcina

CITO GASTON BABY

I voted Dave Martinez, although it is very strange that he has interviewed for so many jobs, but never got them, despite always seeming to be a hot name in manager positions... According to wikipedia he interviewed for... 2010 - Toronto and Cleveland 2011 - White Sox 2012 - Astros, 2013 - Cubs and Nationals 2014 - Rays (after Longoria, Cobb, Zobrist all endorsed him) He has been the Cubs bench coach since 2015.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Sep 21, 2016 -> 08:23 PM) I still can't believe you think he has a chance at this point. Well now only was he the AL fWAR leader today, but Bovada put him as the favorite to win the Cy Young. He certainly had a chance before tonight, even though I thought Porcello was the favorite.

With the Sox loss today.....Sox now have the 11th pick. 3.5 GB of the Phillies for the 10th pick

Eaton didn't even both sliding to stop the run from scoring/runner getting to 3rd. I see choking away the Cy Young is a collective effort tonight.

Didn't even realize the game started, but I see Sale doesn't even want to try to win a Cy Young award. He saw that Bovada made him the favorite and immediately s*** the bed. Fun season.
