Looking at the Trump/Google thing, I think Kudlow's statements border on a threat to the 1st Amendment. I prefer fantasy football to real life. -- nm - crash davis Aug 28, 09:16 2
- With 45, fantasy anything is preferred over RL -- nm - SyrDragon Aug 28, 09:19
- I think Kudlow's more like "Trump said some stupid shit again and if I want to stay in his good graces, I have to pretend he's right." -- nm - Mop Aug 28, 09:18
You know you're an STer when you see budice referred to as bud and you say "Who the hell is bud?" -- nm - Baron Starr Aug 28, 09:16

This e-mail exchange sums up my morning. - Mop Aug 28, 09:09

Given all the times Jerick McKinnon's been drafted, I feel we've already made the 120 picks necessary to complete this draft. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Aug 28, 09:00
We need to get Samara to reply to Redmond so those gifs play off each other perfectly. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Aug 28, 08:59 1
- Done! -- nm - Samara Aug 28, 09:17
I'm going to lunch. Suck less when I get back. -- nm - David Aug 28, 08:56
JD is on the clock, let's see if David can redeem himself for his prior fuck-up. -- nm - Samara Aug 28, 08:50 8
- My "fuck-up" was giving you credit for getting a full round done in 20 hours. - David Aug 28, 08:53 3
  - I'm breaking up with Vampirates, it's not me, it's them. -- nm - Samara Aug 28, 08:54 2

Louis CK is making his way back to stand up. Is it too soon? - Epiphany Aug 28, 08:45 7
- He got a standing ovation. -- nm - Remlik Aug 28, 09:32
- As long as his first joke is about whipping it out, I am okay with this. -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 09:15 3
  - I don't want him profiting from his behavior, but that's exactly what he's going to do. -- nm - Mop Aug 28, 09:17 2
    - That is not at all what I mean. I want him to continue to own up. -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 09:19 1
      - And I'm sure he will. But I'm also sure he'll turn it into a bit, and it'll be popular, and he'll sell it to Netflix. -- nm - Mop Aug 28, 09:21
- He should be able to do what he wants as an independent contractor -- we should shun him since he's clearly effed in the head. - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Aug 28, 08:48
- I feel it's up to the audiences to decide. He can perform, and if people feel okay with paying to see him, that's up to them as individuals. -- nm - Andie Aug 28, 08:47

  - I think its my turn. david's at lunch, so I will draft. -- nm* - Truman Aug 28, 08:57 6
    - The draft snakes after the first round, so Some rounds he is ahead of you, some he isn't. -- nm - Volnelk Aug 28, 08:59 5
      - Yeah, in Super Fued I asked people to post what pick number they were making. That made it a lot easier. -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 09:05
      - its more that the front page hasnt been updated, so I was confused. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 28, 09:03
      - effin' snakes -- nm - decline Aug 28, 09:00
      - Tricksy snakes! -- nm - Baron Starr Aug 28, 09:00 1
        
        I didn't notice why at first either. I was like 'Wait, did I trade a pick?' -- nm - Volnelk Aug 28, 09:01

  - Heh. 😁 -- nm - Krusty Aug 28, 08:49

We've hit the time frame where Spawn says it is okay to text him. But I've left all those numbers at home, so someone else will have to -- nm - crash davis Aug 28, 08:19 12
- Done. There was a long shot I was researching that did not pan out. So went with the lame pick. -- nm* - Spawn Aug 28, 08:23 7
  - I'm not trying to be a dick. I just want the league streak to continue at finishing first. -- nm - crash davis Aug 28, 08:24 6
    - At this point, we could stop drafting for the week and still win. -- nm - David Aug 28, 08:27 5
      - I believe I will pick for the 2nd time in 80 picks faster than Kelly had between picks #2 & #3 -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Aug 28, 08:30
      - I know I'm done and out of it, but I'd like to see you guys Belichick this b!#ch and run up the score. -- nm - crash davis Aug 28, 08:29

    - Deuce dropped. 😬 -- nm - kelly Aug 28, 08:36
Fantasy Football: You need to keep a WR. Your options are Stefon Diggs or JuJu Smith-Schuster. Go. -- nm - Shaun Aug 28, 08:19 4
- I think JuJu has a higher ceiling but Stefon has a higher floor. So it is down to whether you like gambling or not. -- nm - crash davis Aug 28, 08:22

Draft Cards are for silly babies -- nm - Beaker Aug 28, 08:00 16
- Drafting is one of the most fun parts of ffb, when it flows well. - Krusty Aug 28, 08:16 2

    - I certainly feel for David and Kim. -- nm - Krusty Aug 28, 08:19
- *gives you another D* -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 08:08
- OR for people who don't hover over their computer 10 hours a day at work - Beaker Aug 28, 08:01 11
  - we should plot all the pick times in Excel and see who was the fastest picker for all 3 groups :) -- nm - Beaker Aug 28, 08:01 10
    - I've considered this before. -- nm - Reagen Aug 28, 08:06 5

        or just account for start and stop times. -- nm - Reagen Aug 28, 08:11 1
        
        Excel skills would help there I guess :) -- nm - Beaker Aug 28, 08:12
    - I've probably taken a minute total so far. -- nm - Volnelk Aug 28, 08:05
    - *removes Spawn from contention* -- nm - oblique Aug 28, 08:03 2
      - Actually, with my picks being back-to-back, I might still be. -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 09:10
