If by bloviating you mean refusing to dismiss out of hand the potential for mitigating circumstances involved in a medical situation I have zero information on, then yes, guilty as charged. And please direct me to where I said, or even loosely asserted, pot was the only treatment for Crohn's. Should I wait, or shall I begin demolition of your strawman immediately? How much time have you spend talking with Seantrel about his Crohns disease treatments? How many consults with you has his attending physician sought? Don't bother answering, we all know the answer is zero. So unless you're willing to argue that because your family members have not received pot as part of their treatment then it's not a useful treatment for anyone, what exactly does your family have to do with this? Well, other than trying to give yourself some faux authority to take a shot at a GM you want fired, all while passing judgment on the moral fiber of the player. Bloviating indeed. What happened to n "we don't know all the facts" Freeman? Rape? Wait for all the facts! Weed? Low class loser! What a joke. I don't know why he was smoking weed. His history doesn't make it look good, for sure (though I'd also point out he has several pro seasons under his belt without issue...he's not Josh Gordon here). I'm not even arguing he had a justifiable reason. I simply don't know. My issue is entirely with your incredulous dismissal of the mere possibility of a medical reason, and using that to lob a molotov cocktail at the front office. Or maybe you already had the molotov cocktail prepped, and just needed an impetus to knee-jerk into throwing it.

If you want to hang your hat on "rules are rules" then that's your business. But bloviating about a medical situation you have zero information about simply because you want to take a shot at Whaley? That's some incredibly weak sauce right there.

Minus.

I think it's adorable how you all seem to need digital validation of your picks. I, on the other hand, am supremely confident in my own abilities and require no such reinforcement.

Should never just dismiss a poll. Is the outlying result likely to be a more accurate representation of the race than the average? Nope, not at all. But it's not impossible either. The fact of the matter is the race has been tightening and the Trump +1, while on the extremely unlikely side of things, is not outside the bounds of the possible. No, but you should be prepared to be called an uninformed idiot. And while I'm firmly on the left side of most racial issues, what African Americans face isn't exactly genocide. Edit: and seriously, I don't think you know what a white supremacist is.

Paging Dan Bylsma. Dan Bylsma to team North America practice please.

Uh. You're all-in on the Jags. I mean...

I know Bruce Banner. Bruce Banner is a friend of mine. You, WildCard, are no Bruce Banner.

I can draft better drunk than you can sober. And since you're already drunk...

I picked up a 6 pack of Flower Power after the gym. I bet I could drink all 6 between now and 9 and still do better than you.

I like beige walls :(

I can assure you, the media narratives that emerge and are beneficial for media outlets has zero to do with my analysis on this matter ;) The media matters some, but it's factor among many. For instance, the front runner normally runs a more conservative strategy and aims to protect the lead. Current example: Hillary's lead allowed her to spend the last two weeks fundraising rather than campaigning. It gave Trump an opportunity to cut into the lead some.

I'll believe you're capable of more than a tropical depression when I see it, and not a moment sooner :p Nice to see you admit there should be asterisks on it ;) :p
-
Narrative-wise, yes of course. But there's nothing mysterious about the race tightening. This was expected as it almost always happens. Also, the widest lead was combining a good convention bump for Clinton with arguably the worst two weeks of the Trump campaign.

I hate you. Don't take it personally, it's just jealousy.

Is Neo the Donald Trump of Sabrespace fantasy football? I was going to make a Hillary joke, but we all know she'd sooner deleted confidential information than make it public.

I'm positive #1 isn't bold, and I don't think #2 is either :p

Apparently Kris Vertseeg had insurance issues and won't be playing in Europe. Would it really be a terrible idea to bring him in on a one year vet minimum deal? If the kids beat him out then great, if not, then we aren't in a position to force them into the NHL.

I think we need some public shaming for last place, maybe bottom two. I'm thinking bringing back Pi's recently retired avatar would be a good start.

I was on my way to winning last year too, right up until Charles' ACL exploded and forced me to start Charles Sims. Computer programming? No problem. Joining a fantasy league online? May as well have to build the pyramids alone.

There's nothing slow about the pain the Bills inflict on us. It's fast and violent.
-
Any truth to the rumor that you guys just all agreed to forfeit the season to me? I don't blame you. Sometimes it's better to end it quickly than succumb to the slow pain of inevitability.
-
Then it doesn't disprove my point as you initially asserted ;)
-
So they can't be wrong? They wouldn't be the first NFL front office to believe in Bradford only to be woefully disappointed.
-
I misread, I thought you were presenting the dropoff as their argument. That it's your argument and not theirs does not disprove my point, however :) And? Do those passes do anything? Are they quality pre-snap hot reads that move the chains? Are they Trend Edwards-quality checkdowns? Sam Bradford has an entire career of pedestrian performance, and one stat in isolation doesn't change that. Maybe he's not, but the difference isn't the difference between missing the playoffs and being a legitimate contender.
