Okay. Add me

Where we at on this? Season starts in less than a week. 

Maybe half point PPR? I think that was what we used before. Two flex is okay. Since this looks like it might only be a 8 team league maybe go 2 QB? I've never played that way but it might be interesting. 

Auto or live draft is okay. If time doesn't work for me I'll just set mine up for automatic anyway.

@thehumantrashcan fantasy team?!?!?

DM league like last year?

I'm willing. Need to redeem last year.

Browns did do better in second round. Some of their later picks have high star/bust potential tho. Time will tell. 

Looking like the Giants are truly commiting to balance on offense. Barkley, Solder, Hernandez all together should improve the run game and potentially give OBJ more room to operate. 

Bears had good draft too IMO. If Trubisky grows as a QB they could be decent. 

Lions did okay, I think. I'm reading the "experts" think they stretched for a DB but I'm hoping my old high school teammate can coach him up(or just sees something they missed). 

Black Panther debuts in the late 60's/early 70's. Dr. Strange is much earlier than that. So if anything it is Jordan taking the concepts from the comics. 

It is historically accurate for the African warriors to use spears.

The test is a long standing fantasy staple, think Dune. In fact you could argue that the entire Aiel are an homage to the Fremen.

Also, mind blown. 

So when does Avengers 4 drop?

And the Browns pull a Browns with their two picks?

Mayfield and Ward??? Probably could have gotten Ward a little later if they could have found a trading partner. I hope they do better in round two. Good thing they traded for Taylor, LOL.

Bills did pretty well value wise with their picks I think. I'm not really sold on Allen tho. I guess we will see.

If you are Joe Flacco, how you feeling this morning?

Rosen probably couldn't have found a better landing space than Arizona. 

Pretty  happy with Lions drafting O line. Not exciting but I think it was needed. 

Who didn't get picked that you expected to in round 1?

I'd be the happiest guy in the world if I can buy a Patriots Nick Chubb jersey in May.

Sony Michel so close?

Captain Marvel only appears in one of the post credit scenes

Falcon becomes the new Cap

Thanos will not be defeated until Infinity War part 2 next year. 

Hawkeye becomes Ronin but not until next year.

Bucky becomes White Wolf.

5 is enough. Seeing it Sunday 

Rams going hard to try to win but overpaid here I think.

Cowboys cut Dez. Good, bad, indifferent?

Pats deal B. Cooks and a 4th rounder to Rams for first(#23) and 6th round picks.

Pats win this one I think. 

They have been dead to me for many years. 

Jets trade up to #3. Colts get the following:

This year picks

First round #3

Second round #37

Second round #49

2019 second round

This is a big win for colts. Three additional second round picks to move down 3 spots and possibly be able to pick same player. Jets will certainly pick the wrong QB. But Bridgewater will save them, LOL.

Bills willing to go to #1 or #2?

I must be getting more British cause I just can't stop supporting these underdog Browns. They gonna become my AFC team.  Lions are my NFC team. 

they strengthened their QB, RB, and WR positions. I didn't know but they also had signed to tackles just before Thomas retired so that isn't as bad as it could be. I think they might actually be best seeing what they can get for the #1 pick (especially if they think they can get Barkley at #4) . The draft value thing says that #1 is worth 3000 points. if someone  (say Buffalo cause it works by the maths) wanted the number one overall it would add up to...

#12 - 1200

#22 -  780

# 53 - 370 

#56 -  340

#65 - 265

total: 2955

maybe they swap some lower picks to make it work or throw in a "future considerations" or a player of modest value to make it totally square. That makes a lot of potential in this draft to upgrade/reinforce a lot of positions. they would have 9 picks in the top 65. biggest problem might be too many too young players.  Browns round 1-3 draft board would look something like this:

#4: Barkley/Chubb?/ QB?/Nelson

#12: OT/ DB?

#22: Would Jackson still be there? I think he might. I think I like him better than most tho.

#33: Best Player Available

#35: BPA

#53: BPA

#56: BPA

#65: BPA

Bottom line is I think they are making a mistake if they are locking themselves into picking a QB at #1. Especially if they don't LOVE one of the big4 (Darnold, Rosen, Allen, Mayfield).

 Note: I don't think that Buffalo makes that move unless they are totally sold on one of these guys. but the numbers add up cleaner for them than anyone else as it gives more picks in this draft as opposed to future picks. It is time for the Browns to get some players. not more future picks. 

just some random thoughts... 

Where do Suh and Mathieu land?

Will Kaep get a job this year?

Which rookie QB plays right away and who has the best year?

You never know. NFL people do stupid things on draft day. Especially when QBs are involved. I was kinda thinking that some of these QBs might drop a ways and then get picked by people not expected to take them just due to being value at the point. 

TBH I don't have a great handle on who the stud defensive players are in this draft. I've only been really hearing about Chubb and Fitzpatrick who are looking like top 5-10 picks. 

Joe Thomas retired yesterday. Do you think that puts pressure on Cleveland to rethink #4 and look at an OL. I haven't heard about any star LT in the draft so it might just not be an option. The guy from ND is a guard I think. 

I was reading that the #4 pick would be worth (using the draft value chart thingy) exactly the #12 and #22 picks that the Buffalo Bills currently possess. those could be two valuable players.  Buffalo trades up to 4 to take one of the Big QBs? 

Free agent QBs going to new homes. do these moves make it less likely these teams prioritize QB in the 1st round?

Bridgewater to JETS

Cousins to VIKINGS

Keenum to BRONCOS

Bradford to CARDINALS

Brees resigns w/ SAINTS

Taylor to BROWNS

Who is now seriously in the market for a QB? 

Browns?? I don't think they should use either #1 or #4. maybe trade down and get L. Jackson? would be interesting.

Giants. Definitely need to think about it.

Bills. Yes. also heard rumour they looking to trade shady to NYG for #2.  I don't think that makes sense form NYG POV but who knows.

Cards? Yes. 

There are some maybes out there and of course if a team is CONVINCED that a particular guy is a certified "franchise QB" then they take them anyway. 

Current QBs

Seattle: R. Wilson

SF: J. Garrapolo??

LA:  J. Goff

ARI: S. Bradford

Detroit:  M. Stafford

Philly: C. Wentz (and N. Foles)

Wash: A. Smith

NYG: E. Manning

Carolina: C. Newton

Atl: M. Ryan

NO: D. Brees

TB: J. Winston?

LVR: D. Carr

LAC: P. Rivers

KC: P. Mahomes

Den: C. Keenum

Cle: T. Taylor

NYJ: McCown ( T. Bridgewater)

NE: T. Brady

Miami: Tannehill?

Buffalo: ???

Houston: D. Watson

Tenn: M. Marriota

Ind: A. Luck

Jax: B. Bortles

I like what the Browns did. I don't really know what the "experts" dislike about Taylor. If I were a Browns fan I would be very disappointed if they don't take Barkley first. I would even consider not taking a QB at 4 and helping fill a different need. Maybe even trade down. 

I just saw this cool new book it was called Celsius 232.778

We already have a system that has the seasons match up to a specific date on the calendar (accounting for leap year). You need it to start on a 1st of the month? Why? Is it so hard to remember?

Your idea for Spring on March 1 doesn't make it simple, it makes it inaccurate. But then it was made up by meteorologists which everyone knows aren't real scientists  Heck they can't even tell us if it will really be raining tomorrow half the time. (except here because it is ALWAYS raining)

I'm fully versed in Metric as well. Don't get me started on Stone tho   

Ley, was your mission to attempt to argue a nonsensical position to engage in deflection and water muttering? That seems to be what you are doing. 

BTW, I just spent about 20 minutes outside clearing Ithi's car of what must have been imaginary snow since it is now spring according to you and therefore it could not possibly be snowing

Your confusing or incorrectly taking as the same two different versions of "seasons". The Seasons are Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. They are set by the previously mentioned soltices and equinoxes. A period of time when the the weather may be relatively constant (locally) can happen at any time for any length of time. They are not the same.

Weather is variable based on many many things. The seasons are constant based on the relative positions of the earth and sun as a result of earth orbit. 

Having lived in several different places on this earth I can confirm for you that the individual local weather is not the same at a certain time of year. In March (or any other time of year) the weather will be quite different in Southern California than from Yorkshire UK or from Florida in the USA or from New York/Pennsylvania or from Chicago area.  If you used the weather to determine seasons then different places would have seasons of different length and start/stop times.

It just wouldn't work.

Just watched Thor: Ragnarok. Enjoyed it immensely. Korg rocks!! CWIDT?

Very miffed that I can't find my Led Zeppelin discs cause I will need the immigrant song on my new phone.(plus other songs)
