Right there with you.
@sammydog01
also a Stupid Goat League; although, most of that chatter has been moved to slack.
@connorbush
Yeah I only counted the ones I’ve been stupid enuf to join so far.
All this ppl trashing out on slack are pretty selfish not to share over here.
Goats For Life, all of them.
@f00l I’m sticking to just the movie league. I don’t see many movies, but at least I like reading & talking about them. I started souring (is that a word?) on football about 5yr ago and at this point am beyond caring - meaning discussing or thinking about it actually starts to make me angry.
@compunaut
I pay almost no attention to football, except Longhorn football. So I’m happily random playing fantasy. And then they all get concussions or a ligament tear. I specialize in drafting the hospital-bound.
So, turns out it’s kinda fun being Hated By The Gods.

It’s a cycle of nature. The human experience contained in a microcosm of pretend virtual sports, with our fates dependent on Those Who Can. Why actually get out of your chair? And way overblown, cause aMehrica.
Yeah. Sounds right.

I think by posting this thread you have taken more effort than half the people in the beginner league
@MrGlass Come over to the beginner league thread and say that.

@MrGlass I double dog dare you.

@sammydog01 but that would require effort. I’m against such activities

Don’t forget about the only league in here that truly matters.

Or A League Too Many.
Guess who forgot to update my theater this week.
Fuck Me.
Never mind, hacked that myself.
/giphy a bridge too far
@f00l Just accept you will never beat me and start loving me
@ELUNO
I love you as I crush you. You are so sweet.

Notre Dame can still get a win by stopping by Whataburger on the way out of Texas

Actually, Notre Dame is usually a pretty class act within college sports, love it when they play a Texas team.
Even if my Dad and his buddies did, possibly, in some alt universe, according to obviously false rumors perpetrated by persons with overactive imaginations, do really annoying things in the sky above the Notre Dame campus during his Army Air Corps days in WWII, possibly distracting persons trying to work or to walk across campus or to play informal sports; this might have happened in some anti-matter reality somewhere else.
(Yeah. Prove It!)
Hey, Notre Dame! You all have a seriously gorgeous campus. Very pretty Golden Dome. I hear it looks great from the air!
I finally joined a league. The movie one. Not into football at all. Of course I joined 12 hours after the last chance to put in your movies for week two. So now I’m really behind. Hopefully I’ll remember to choose some stuff.
I figure it anything, it’ll make me more aware of the movies that are coming out. I seem to forget there’s movies since I don’t watch regular tv, and I have YouTube Red so I don’t get any ads.
/giphy movies
Why did they remake Point Break? It was so perfect. I still haven’t watched the new version.
@RiotDemon Don’t worry, you will for sure beat @f00l even though you are two weeks behind.
Also, YouTube is really good for watching movie trailers!
@ELUNO only if I remember to search for them. I have lots of things I’m subscribed to, that take up lots of time, so I tend not to stray outside of that.
When I use IMDB, I’ll occasionally take a moment to see what’s featured before searching for stuff.
I’m going to the movies today, seeing something that I only watched one trailer and didn’t read anything else about, so hopefully it’s good.
@RiotDemon I usually go to Rotten Tomatoes to see which movies are out (and how good or bad they apparently are.) I visit IMDB AFTER I watch said movies since there are a lot more chances to get something spoiled over there.
Enjoy your movie! Don’t forget to get some overpriced pop-corn!
@RiotDemon
@ELUNO
Everyone will beat me in the movie leagues, forgot to do picks prev weekend.
Everyone will beat me in the football leagues, cause /LAME.
@RiotDemon, re football, if you get invited to a league that has ppl you like, just join. The ppl already playing have to agree to help you cause “just because”, and cause you’re a newbie. And that gives them an excuse to talk about football, so WIN!
If you play, give your fantasy league about 10-20 minutes a week. About right for a newbie casual owner. ESPN will rate the players for you, so no worries there. Just get some assistance w rules and the interface till you’re used to it.
There are some Very Serious Owners (@mfladd, @christinewas, and others) who prob put all kinds of time and energy and watch RedZone and hit rotowire and do formula-heavy spreadsheets and spend their lives at All This every fall. Many play in $ leagues. Not to worry, you likely won’t get invited to one of those leagues. Those people wanna play against other Serious Players in those leagues, so the bragging rights will actually mean something.
Just play for fun. My family talked me into it. Was surprised to enjoy it by “playing stupid”. All good.
@f00l when I said, not into football, I should of said, I don’t like football. I’m sure everyone is nice and friendly… But I don’t even want to think about it. Picking players and whatever for a sport that I don’t like, seems boring, and a waste of everybody’s time.
The only sports I’ll ever watch involve horses, and sometimes shooting.
Wipeout is a sport, right?
/giphy Wipeout
@ELUNO I usually go to IMDB after I watch something so I can read the trivia and goofs. Or when someone asks who was in whatever movie.
My work makes popcorn every single day, so I tend to skip it when I’m at the theatre. Ever make homemade kettle corn? So good. My one co-worker liked it so much that they gave me money to make them a bunch. Ended up bringing in a trash bag full of popcorn for them.
I have one of those automatic stirring popcorn bowl things. Works pretty good. Was a gift and I thought it was useless, so I left it in the box for about a year. I was kicking myself when I finally used it, lol.
@RiotDemon
Not trying to talk you into something you don’t wanna do.
But a thought, in case it matters: caring about the game of football, at any level, and enjoying playing Fantasy Football at a casual level, are, technically and logically, two entirely separate spheres - tho many practitioners of one or the other do both. But not necessary.
Technically, the pleasure of FF comes from trash talk, extreme-failure pain, and moaning. Zero work or knowledge involved. Just in case you ever get enticed by the right people at the right moment.
@RiotDemon Exactly why I go visit IMDB. Although the boards can be pretty toxic so I mostly avoid those.
lol, yeah, popcorn is the best. I always wanted to get one of those stirring ones, but I have my old and trusty popcorn pot with manual (shaking) stirring. It makes pretty good popcorn, although I mostly just eat it with salt. I really need to get one of those movie theater machines someday though.
@ELUNO I don’t go on the message boards at all.
When we make the popcorn at work, we just salt it.
At home though, it has to be kettle corn. I want something different after eating just salted popcorn.
@RiotDemon I actually don’t like kettle corn that much. I either like it salted, or sweet, but together I have mixed feelings…
@ELUNO
Mixed popcorn?

What is required of the player/team/film elements of a Fantasy League?
That they perform!
Players should score, block, receive, run, throw, all like champs.
Teams should Win. That seems pretty simple.
Movies should make incredible $. How hard is that, I ask you?
Did any of mine? Noooooo! They were suspended. They got hurt. They screwed up. They lost. They tripped or fell down or got tackled or were out of position. They got blocked. Sacked. Teams lost. Films failed to behave as if they were a new kiddie Pixar release. Excuses excuses excuses.
Fuckers.
…
Now, what is required of an Owner, I ask you?
And owner is required to Sit In A Chair And Make Choices. Hard Choices. Fraught Choices. End Of The Universe Choices.
Well I want you to know i went out there and sat in that easy chair and I did my job. I made choices..
(Well, kinda forgot the movie league, was so busy with the moral weight of my football teams.)
I left it all in the chair and in the app and on the webpage, I tell you. Held nothing back. I could barely walk afterwards. Needed help just getting to the fridge.
Then comes the weekend, I choose to give extra. Above and beyond the call.
That’s right. I did not sit in a chair. I propped myself up on a mattress with a memory foam wedge pillow from Amazon and lots of new Costco pillows. All Day. Nope, no chair, no recliner for me. I’m better than that. I try harder. Not ordinary pillows for my league commitments. Those pillows were from Costco’s special “Fantasy League Owner” pillow line.
I Did My Job. I held that remote and kept Mute going full on, no letdown. Channel button stayed In The Game. I did 5 things on the Chromebook and 10 things on the phone All At Once during the games. I never went to second string pillows. I Ate Junk Food just like your spozed to. And I even watched a movie during all the commotion. What more could any league ask of me?
My players and my picks and my films have no respect for me or my effort and dedication.
…
I’m just gonna go hang with Cute Baby Bevo for a while and try to deal with this.
@f00l I hope you & Mater had a real good time cow-tippin’. Watch out for Frank, tho; he’s faster’n he looks
