  1. If you can go back to an old statement email and follow the link it’ll land you on a page that will let you create “new” credentials…was the only way I figured out my new account number. You have Oklahoma to take shots at instead of Kansas, you bastards!
  2. Yeah, we can keep up to 2, they cost you $5 more than previous year's cost, but guys that you pick up as free agents are $15. My team was mediocre last year and unlikely to make a run, so on the last bye week (when roster spots get less valuable), I burned a good chunk of my FAAB on Barkley. I have him under reasonable cost control until he's 30 now. I just threw Zeke back this year, he went WAY too cheap his suspension year, and I just kept riding him up $5 at a time...he finally got too expensive.
  3. Keepers were due yesterday in my auction league, Kelce and Waller both kept...so I'm at the crossroads of loading up for Kittle or settling for somebody in that next tier. Might be a gametime decision based on my ability to land an elite guy. 10 team league, must play a TE, and I've got $167 left with Russell Wilson and Saquon Barkley rostered.
  4. Auction is really the only way to play fantasy football if you're not doing dynasty/keepers. Over time, I've ejected from every snake redraft league I've ever played in.
  5. Bengals UNDER 6.5 -110: I actually don't think they're going to be THAT bad but the schedule is brutal...hard division + AFC West. Dolphins UNDER 9.5 -116: I make Miami slightly better with Fitz, which sounds crazy b/c they were 7-3 under Tua....so I had to dig into why. Post QB switch, if you throw out the week 17 game (I know, I know but stay with me they were desperate fighting for the playoffs and abandoned the game plan), they were +9 in the other 9 Tua starts which would have been good for THIRD for the whole season. That TO luck is unsustainable. If you prefer more sophistication than a random dude on the internet, PFF graded him 31st. I'm looking at two more unders, one of which would be oppo @closetohumping (Bills) and I like Titans if I can get 9.5 at a good price, but it's currently not juicy enough.
  6. You think that exchange was OTHER people getting upset?
  7. Athletics -111 Should have bet it sooner, the number got away from me.
  8. Annual Disclaimer: Nobody beats the NFL. I don't beat it, and you don't beat it. We know this. We are all going to lose money in this thread. With that said, the NFL is pretty awesome and pretty fun to gamble on, so let's lose our 10 cents of vig together. Steelers OVER 8.5 +130
  9. This is a pretty big deal if you're talking about an MLB team drawing from some location in San Marcos on a Tuesday night...it's a pretty insignificant difference for 8 home games. Splitting the cities isn't a good idea either way, but with an NFL team it's at least logistically feasible.
  10. I was hoping for some dumb David Price money to make it juicier but it moved against me. Today... Athletics -112 Reds +126 Astros +115
  11. Those are good. I think these are even better (similar but even a little lighter weight).
  12. Oh, I don't like it. Random UT Friend: "Yeah, when I was on the 40 acres you only had to be top 10% in your class to get in...it's a little harder now. What was it like at Kansas?" Me: "On, you know, top ***COUGH***100%***COUGH*** of your class."
  13. So far it seems like the vaccine gives a stronger biological response, but it doesn't (yet) seem like that translates into much difference in reinfection vs vaccine breakthrough. Best guess is that higher measureables isn't predictive, but I don't know why. It smells a little bit like how we thought of surface transmission in the early days before we knew how strongly viral load tied to infection. Disclaimer: I'm an engineer that likes data but no medical background.
  14. I've never been able to find it on the iPhone app, but I set my lineup in a web browser (usually) and it is there.
  15. It has since changed (a little), but when I went to KU the general study in-state entrance requirements were that you'd graduated high school. That's it. That's the whole list.
  16. ACL surgery...that sucks.
  17. Rangers +120 Braves +102 (weird line move here...Fried's peripherals have been a little better than his traditional stats and Marlins are dead last hitting lefties, I'll take the plus money)
