I get you. And, the math supports much of what you are saying. My main position is it levels out the top of the draft, It brings more players and options into the mix once you get by pick 2 or 3 of the draft. Ultimately, in my opinion, a more unpredictable draft makes for a better overall league in the end. A half-point PPR may work better in a Dynasty league, and if we get that off the ground, we can certainly consider it there.

The Reds lineup tonight against the Cardinals. 🤮

Looking for at least 5 more. Join now and I'll guarantee you a Top 12 pick in the draft.

There are spots a available and you are in. I will address the dynasty option once we have our regular leagues filled up.

I'm open to a Dynasty as an 'extra' league. I would not want it to take away from the two regular leagues though. I agree the players in a dynasty league are more likely to be serious. On the flip side, I absolutely love doing the full re-draft. In Dynasty, if you don't get someone like JT as a rookie, you never get to have him on your team. We can explore dynasty. but I would want all Dynasty players to commit to having a redraft team as well so we can maintain a healthy amount of participation.

I'm personally a PPR guy. The league is becoming more of a passing league and there aren't really more than 5 old-school featured backs left in the NFL (Taylor, Mixon, Harris, Henry, Cook, Barkley if he's healthy.....?). I think PPR really balances out the first round and takes away the massive advantage the first 5 picks used to have. I could argue all day that Austin Ekeler is just as valuable to team success as Derrick Henry is. With backs, it's 80% the system that makes a lot of these backs successful. As far as receivers. Receiving TD's last year: Hill - 9 Renfrow - 9 Hill actually had a few more catches and a couple hundred extra yards. So, it wasn't the the number of catches that kept them close in points over the course of the season. It literally was that Renfrow had a higher percentage of catches for TD's than Hill. I'm open to tweaking the league rules, but PPR is one I'm pretty committed to. Yeah, I get that a 5 yard rush and a five yard catch are basically the same thing. But, I stand by my position that it helps balances the scoring, especially in larger leagues. When the 12th pick of the first round can realistically be expected to score the same as the first pick, I thin that adds to the game.

IHSAA Golf Regional results today. An interesting competitor in the field.

And then there were 5. Mendoza membership down to just a handful.

Bumping. Need about 6 more players to commit to fill out our second league. See link in op above

For the record, I never played in the ABA.

That ballpark they have has to be an atrocious place to watch a game. Baseball for me has become much more enjoyable when I watch teams other than the Reds.

SEC can't be that tough if it only has one offensive player on the Big Ten preseason all-conference team.

Bad day for the Reds - Bullpen blows a lead in the 9th - Catcher Tyler Stephenson breaks his thumb - Albert Almora also left game with injury after diving for ball.

Whatever the alignment, make room for Auburn.

PGA counter-punches. Things are getting nasty. Will there be a legal challenge to the PGA's action? https://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/34063037/pga-tour-suspends-all-players-taking-part-first-liv-golf-tournament

Yahoo.

If the Celts give up home-court advantage, it's game over. That said, tonight is even more important than Game 4. The sooner the Warriors regain it, the less energy they expend to get it, the easier it will be for them to keep it.

Reads better than it sounds if you speak it out loud.

Here's where we stand player-wise as of today. Still waiting for official word from a couple of players from last year. 1) @5fouls 2) @Indykev 3) @KDB 4) @Parakeet Jones 5) @btownqb 6) @Seeking6 7) @KoB2011 8 ) @rico 9) @dgambill 10) @NotIThatLives 11) @mrflynn03 12) @tdhoosier 13) @BeerBQ 14) @Billingsley99 15) @PAHoosier 16) @JaybobHoosier 17) @iuswingman 18) @trc 19) @ATX_sig 20) @iuthruandthru 21) @ephul 22) @Sagamore 23) @5fouls 24) @Indykev

Honestly, if the Yankees make it and it's not the Mets or Dodgers opposing them, it's not an attractive matchup. Everyone will just assume the Yankees will roll a team like the Brewers, Cardinals, or Padres. If I'm a network executive and you tell me in advance that the Cardinals make the World Series this year, I'm rooting for them to face the Red Sox or Astros as opposed to the Yankees.

Thinking it's a must win for Celtics tonight. Anyone disagree?
