I just feel like this could be fun, as long as I don't have to actually watch the games. It's like long term gambling, each week you get a little bit of a result and a small high. I don't really gamble, but I like picking things and being right/wrong depending on pure luck.

I'll call my dad, it'll be a good excuse to talk to him more and he'd probably get a kick out of it. Oh, and my podcast has a sports section with a fantasy football update. I'll think on it.

Fantasy football chat reminds me: So I might be doing a fantasy football league with some of my softball buddies. If I do, what is the best way to troll the league? I was going to try to get every single kicker on my team but I don't know if there are better/worse options.

Max posted:Just be Taco from "The League" Jon Lajoie as Taco MacArthur: Kevin's younger brother, a perpetually stoned, unemployed musician. He doesn't care or know much about football, evident by his attempts to draft Canadian football players and his tendency to draft placekickers. He has won the league championship at least once in 2006, evident by his handwritten name on the trophy. He hooks up with women easily, and lives via handouts from his brother Kevin and "Eskimo family tree" (people who have slept with women he has slept with), making his own food (thousand-year-old eggs) and making his own personal hygiene products, such as deodorant. He also makes ringtones (Horse Orgasm or, "Horsegasm"). For one episode, Taco takes martial arts, specializing in use of a naginata (a long pole with a blade at the end) and studies of naginatajutsu. He means well but his acts of kindness usually have disastrous results. He is perhaps the most emotional member of the league, prone to crying when his feelings are hurt. In the unrated version of season 1, Ruxin claimed that the reason Taco is such a "frittata" is because they made him smoke marijuana when he was 8. Between seasons 2 and 3, Taco travels around the world and becomes a soap opera star in Algeria where he plays a stupid American. Taco enjoys keeping bongs (which he calls "guest bongs") in all of his friends' houses for him to use. In season 4, it is revealed that he owns the domain name dallascowboys.com, which Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones buys for $250,000. In Season 5 he turns his dead uncle's van into multiple unsuccessful small businesses. It is also revealed that when he is not high he is actually very intelligent, probably the most intelligent member of the League. In season 6, his Eskimo-Brother DataBase ends up making him a lot of money and he starts other business ventures after Mark Cuban buys it from him for 1.1 million dollars. Yes I identify with this individual.

I know nothing about football, fantasy or otherwise, and I will attest to The League being a very good show. It would probably be even funnier if I had any sportsball knowledge at all

BottleKnight posted:Prince Fielder retired I know, it sucks. He was one of my favorites and while I make fun of him, I did have a great deal of respect for both his athleticism and his fearlessness about being open about his body in media. He's a cool dude and it's a loss for baseball that he is forced to retire. Now my favorite fat ballplayer is Bartolo, and my favorite MASH DEM TATERS hitter is Giancarlo Stanton. BUT IT'S NOT THE SAME, drat IT.

Imagine what you could do, left in the care of your own wild self. What words would you speak? What sounds would you make? How would you move through the forests, through the streets? It isn’t easy to live this way, but it’s worth trying this week. This is the work of coming into your powers. This is probably the worst possible advice I could get.

Skies and walls and loves can shift, even when you thought they’d stand firm forever, and this is nothing to cry over, nothing to fear. Sorrow and loss are real, but so is the bright newness that springs up soft and green from the earth. This week you’re a lookout, you’re a lighthouse, so keep your watch: Every change could be the one you’ve been searching for. What does this even mean?

This is like that guy in that movie who was kinda into the # 23 in the beginning of the movie, then in the middle he was super into the # 23 and he starts seeing it everywhere. Then at the end of the movie he finds out that the # 23 killed his wife If I were you I'd be very careful with horoscopes around bob
