  1. Superflex league and 8 QBs taken in Round 2 befire I picked at 11. Ended up with McCaffrey and Bijan. Then Tua fell to me at end of round 3 which never happened in the mocks. My other two QBs probably suck, and I don't really have a running qb, so I can't have Tua getting hurt, but I am liking my draft for once. Will be streaming TEs this year, I guess..... (12 Team, Superflex, 0.5PPR, 4 pt TD passes)

    USMNT 2023

    I am not sure how Berhalter is going to have time coaching the USMNT while working front of house at The Bear and gunning for that Michelin star. But, hey, he’s not like this because he’s in Van Halen. He’s in Van Halen because he’s like this.
  3. So my main league switched to super flex 5 years ago. At first I hated it because I didn’t know how to draft and got stuck with one QB many weeks. But now I love it. It makes the draft a lot more interesting because you either get QBs early or you steal a ton of value as guys that would be 1st round in a 1QB league fall. But man, drafting 11th if I need a QB, sweating out 20 picks and crossing fingers there isn’t a run can be excruciating.
  4. These guys are a dime a dozen in Austin. Built and sold one company or have family money or whatever and run around trying to "help" entrepreneurs build their companies and raise and intro to investors for just a small piece of your cap table. Somehow, Vivek has elevated the scam.
  5. Vivek is so clearly using the Trump playbook both in his strategy and his debate tactics, he should be paying a royalty. Like I said above, he's the ultimate one spectaculary exit tech bro that assumes because he built one good company he can do anything and that every single one of his "ideas" is executable and possible because he's him. But he also knows what to say to get cheers and the stupids excited. My only concern with that guy is he gets momentum for 2028. Although I think he can get ground up by the GOP in a way Trump couldn't.
  6. Fuck this guy. This was a fuck you move because the Spanish Federation thinks it’s untouchable now. I guess Hermoso plays in League MX and wasn’t part of the rebellion but World Cup or not, they need to do a house cleaning of that federation and coach.
  7. Did anyone bring up Vivek’s 9/11 truther leanings? Haley had the best zinger on Vivek - “you have no foreign policy experience and it shows”
  8. Yeah…. But Fox is too weak to ask the question that way. Folks ought to start doing it.
  9. Tracks. I work with a lot of tech bros. He is the most empty suit on that stage. He is the typical ex tech-CEO that had one good exit and think he’s gods fucking gift. He is not.
  10. I can’t wait to see the Truth social bombs coming out tomorrow. Everyone but Vivek said something negative about Trump. Better question to all of them - how do you expect to fucking win?
  11. I’m not doing the education part. I am out. Godspeed surly-ites
  12. DeSantis has engaged Seinfeld Rabbi mode.
  13. Vivek is a fucking beating. He is the first person that made me kind of like Pence. Haley just nuked him.
  14. Man, Christie doing the Hunter Biden dance and completely whiffing on how that gun law is enforced customarily.
  15. Fucking lying about abortion. Abortion to term at choice? Yeah, no state allows that unless health of mother at risk. I guess they are preaching to choir. VP Pence, did you fuck up Covid? Let me tell you about defunding the police.
  16. Meh..... I like mine, but they are mostly house and backyard pool shoes. I don't wear them in public except on accident.

    Austin FC

    Well our roster construction does suck because we have two benched DPs. That is death in this league. That said, other than Memo and Hedges (and Craig (?) who can't seem to find the field), all of the players were signed in a prior regime. I think the new guy would be fine if the season were to end early so he can get started on the "rebuild" and it would also give him an excuse to fire Wolff. I am in between Bottlecap and ztejas on Wolff, so whatever happens there, happens. But tanking sucks, because outside of last year, the MLS playoffs are usually a free for all, and the difference between 4th and 10th is a two week swing, good or bad. I'd like to make the playoffs. My guess is that this is a very different looking team next year and only Driussi and maybe Stuver are safe. I presume it will be hard to rid ourselves of Rigoni at this point, but I expect Ring, Zardes, and Urruti to be gone. I'd say we ought to be able to sell Wolff to Europe, but he was bad last night. Pereirra has talent, but he's not a good defender which is ... not ideal.... for your 6. I want a destroyer back there and I'd give up Pererra's 25 yard forward runs through traffic to have homeless man's Tyler Adams protecting the CBs. I am VERY curious what Rodo plans in the offseason. January will be really interesting.
  18. The look ok that kid’s face in Nashville that walked Messi out….. Pretty cool. Also good to hear boos and knowing that this crowd won’t roll over in awe like Frisco. Hope this is a fun game.
  19. Please please please let him do something to try to one up the debate. More NFTs, a rally at the same time that he asks Newsmax to air instead of the debate, seppuku….. whatever. It’s all I ask. Edited to add that DeSantis has to hate this. He is going to be the main target of the others both because of where he sits in the polls and that he’ll be the stand in for Trump for the few that are brave enough to bitchslap Trump. I will say it would be good to see Trump at a debate to see how others “challenge” him given they’ve all (other than Christie, Hutchison and Hurd) have been so afraid to seem critical at all.
  20. The first guy at the debate (probably Christie since Hurd and Hutchison probably don’t make it) that does the “Yeah, Trump deserves to die, and I hope he burns in hell!” take at the debate will get a 5-10 point bump. That person still won’t come with 20 points of Trump. But I think someone that comes out aggressive and shames the others tip toeing around the indictments consolidates some of the polling. I just hope it happens for the entertainment value.
