  1. Past hour
  2. Excellent! Thank you sir.
  3. Today
  4. Yahoo actually finally recognized me, LOL. Before, it was acting as if I was unauthorized to make changes. Now it allowed me to change my email addy, Team Name (Caleb's Nail Salon), and logo (Now you can finally see who you have been talking to for over 2 decades. ;-)
  5. Try this for email: My Team > Edit Team Info > Preferences Tab > Email Preferences > Preferred Email Address (Edit) I see your name and new team name associated with that team, not my info. For logo and name, are you saying you can't access it here: My Team > Edit Team Info > Name and Logo Tab That is where I can change mine; the only access I have to your team is the invite and the roster for keepers.
  6. Late September in Chicago is gorgeous. Usually perfect weather.
  7. Thanks. I was trying to change the email address Yahoo uses to send notifications, but it will not allow me to do so without explanation. I think it is because it is showing what I believe is your email address for my team. Could you please change it for me or tell me how? I'm also getting an error when I try to change the image for the team logo (I need to change my team name, I didn't check names already used before I edited. Sorry.)
  8. Invite sent.
  9. Been awhile since I was last in Chicago but what kinda weather should we expect in late September? Kinda remember it having a more traditional autumn timeframe there (we don’t). Wife was curious as she tends to run cold.
  10. Once I retire (next summer) we’re talking about moving abroad or at least living long term overseas. I’ve watched with great interest when you travel to Thailand. Don’t think I’d be able to convince the missus to go there with me though.

  12. Yesterday
  13. Sent you my addy to use.
  14. Pix, once you get the invite, you will have access to see everything. I think it is considered a "private" league. The Live Draft Time is anywhere from 15s to 2 mins between picks. We typically do a minute, but we can bump it up by 15s intervals to something like 1m 15s or 1m 30s if that was more appealing. There are 17 rounds to fill out the rosters. With a minute per pick, it has typically lasted about an hour. If you are game, just DM me the email address you want to use and I will get you the invite for Scott's team.
  15. Awesome summary stinger! Thank you.
  16. Adam, thanks for taking the time to give me the league setup. I will have to familiarize myself with Yahoo Sports; it has been well over 10 years since I last used their site for fantasy football. I didn't care for their draft room, but I'm sure things have changed a lot since I last used it. I tried using the links you provided, but because I wasn't a member of the league, I couldn't view those pages. Question: How many rounds is the draft, and how long does it give you to make your selection? I will need to get in the groove. When I played redrafts, I could tell you the names of every skill player on every team. Now, I might be a bit lost during the draft, as I haven't followed the other teams' rosters while being a homer. If you and the other managers allow me, I would appreciate the opportunity to join your league.
  17. I finished in 5th last year. It was pretty competitive with the 6th place team winning the championship, and 9 out of 10 teams with a chance at making the playoffs in the last week of the season.
  18. Pix, this 10-man league started in 2010 and I joined in 2012. The "dues" are $75 with winnings: 1st - $440 2nd - $200 3rd - $75 4th - $35 The team you would assume finished in 2nd last year, so they would be picking 9th in a snake draft (so 9th, 11th, repeat). Here is their final roster: Keeper Eligible for 2026: Jonathan Taylor Ind - RB Round 2, Pick 5 George Kittle SF - TE Round 3, Pick 6 TreVeyon Henderson NE - RB Round 4, Pick 5 Breece Hall NYJ - RB Round 5, Pick 6 Brock Purdy SF - QB Round 7, Pick 6 Deebo Samuel Was - WR Round 9, Pick 6 Jared Goff Det - QB Round 12, Pick 5 Jake Bates Det - K Round 14, Pick 5 Not Keeper Eligible: Matthew Stafford LAR - QB - Not drafted by team Justin Jefferson Min - WR - Last Year's First Rounder Jameson Williams Det - WR - Last Year's Keeper Juwan Johnson NO - TE - Not drafted by team Tee Higgins Cin - WR - Last Year's Keeper Christian Watson GB - WR - Not drafted by team Kimani Vidal LAC - RB - Not drafted by team Parker Washington Jax - WR - Not drafted by team Patriots NE - DEF - Not drafted by team We allow up to 2 keepers per season. They have to be drafted by you and on your final roster. The cost of the keeper is +1 round for the first keeper, and if you want a second one, that will cost +2 rounds. For example, if you wanted to keep Deebo Samuel and Jared Goff, Samuel would cost your 8th rounder, and Goff would cost your 10th rounder. The league is a PPR league with the following roster spots: QB, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, W/R/T, W/R/T, K, DEF, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, IR, IR, IR. 2 flex, 7 bench, and 2 IR slots. Most of the scoring is traditional with bonuses for 100 yard rushing/receiving or 300 yard passing. Everything else is pretty standard stuff.
  19. I have been to 36 countries and its the safest one I have been to. The year I retired I went to Columbia and Thailand for a month to try to find a warm place to go for the winter. It is literally cheaper to go there than Florida and AZ where I checked out spending the winter. There is petty thievery there but I have never experienced it personally. Im not out at 2 AM stone drunk, so I dont put myself in a position for that. 70% of their GNP is tourism and they go out of there way to protect it. You dont see a police present either , where other places I've been you notice it all the time. Now the airfare has been up the last 4 yrs over previous yrs. 3 yrs in a row I paid 1180 RT from ORD. Last year 985 , so its coming down. Previous to those yrs, I went 14 times for under 740 and twice for under 600. The weather for the whole yr is 69 to 95 every day. During Dec-Jan-Feb its perfect weather. 69 to 85. I am by the Ocean and its always a sea breeze that makes it much better than inline. In 2019 Thailand was the most traveled country in the world, Bangkok was #1 and Pattaya # 15, where I stay. It is one of the most scenic countries in the world and NOT expensive. I could find a place to live for 200 a month but I like big pools with gyms and sauna . Last yr I paid 320 a month. Covid was dirt cheap and since then the rents have been going up as people try to recover from the Covid yrs which was a disaster in Thailand. The same place I have stayed the last 5 yrs is a condo complex , other renters can pay up to 800 a month, where I have paid much less. If anyone wants to travel to Thailand on a vacation, contact me I have 14 yrs experience going there. I will gladly give advice. Its paradise. I suggest a minimal two weeks because of the length of the flight getting there.
  20. I have been in this league since it started and Adam is the only I always notice off this thread. ( he seems to always win all the time)
  21. Last week
  22. He won’t sign for anything under 25 and he likely jumps into top 3. Probably 26-27 per.
  23. I have played a ton of redraft leagues in the past, but never a Keeper League. I "MIGHT" be interested in filing an opening for a manager position, but would love to review your league's rules and the details of the team I would inherit before committing. I once ran a redraft league for this site many years ago. It was a 12-team league, free to join, played for bragging rights only. (I never had a chance to brag. LOL) Interest in the league dropped, so it was unfortunately discontinued. I really enjoyed engaging in the competition with forum members.
  24. No prob, and thanks for doing that. We can ask the board to see if there are any members wanting to participate.
  25. I believe he's gonna get Sewell money.
  26. Is Thailand fairly safe? My wife and I are looking at it for winter retirement...

    I haven’t seen anything. I also don’t troll for Packers news.

    I cant really find any updated stories on Josh Jacobs, does anyone know if its a nothing burger or just not legislated yet?
  29. 7 months a year in Northern Ill, MP (61115) and 5 months in Pattaya , Thailand. Literally cheaper to live than going to Florida or AZ for the winter. 300 to 350 for a nice condo- food 20 a day-6 for a 1 hour massage- drinking is a little cheaper- 9 for phone service airfare last yr was 985 69 to 89 everyday while Im there, where I stay has an ocean 10 minutes away. I have a broken body after plumbing for 50 yrs and need the sun..
