Suicide pool picks 2021
My biggest one is Circa Survivor, which counts Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day as their own "week"...so it's 20 picks to the end. So, if I'm playing to win, I need to avoid teams that play those days and generally need to have all 3 entries survive on common picks until week 12 or so before I start considering getting cute. There is also a $1M bonus for using the Chiefs or Bucs with you last pick, though if I get to a point where I need them, winning is obviously more important than chasing that bonus. It may not work and I could crap out week 1, but I think the strategy is sound. San Francisco on all 3

Txtag website and customer service
If you can go back to an old statement email and follow the link it’ll land you on a page that will let you create “new” credentials…was the only way I figured out my new account number. You have Oklahoma to take shots at instead of Kansas, you bastards!

2021 I don't give a fuck about your Fantasy Football Team thread
Yeah, we can keep up to 2, they cost you $5 more than previous year's cost, but guys that you pick up as free agents are $15. My team was mediocre last year and unlikely to make a run, so on the last bye week (when roster spots get less valuable), I burned a good chunk of my FAAB on Barkley. I have him under reasonable cost control until he's 30 now. I just threw Zeke back this year, he went WAY too cheap his suspension year, and I just kept riding him up $5 at a time...he finally got too expensive.

2021 I don't give a fuck about your Fantasy Football Team thread
Keepers were due yesterday in my auction league, Kelce and Waller both kept...so I'm at the crossroads of loading up for Kittle or settling for somebody in that next tier. Might be a gametime decision based on my ability to land an elite guy. 10 team league, must play a TE, and I've got $167 left with Russell Wilson and Saquon Barkley rostered.

Auction is really the only way to play fantasy football if you're not doing dynasty/keepers. Over time, I've ejected from every snake redraft league I've ever played in.

NFL Betting 2021
Bengals UNDER 6.5 -110: I actually don't think they're going to be THAT bad but the schedule is brutal...hard division + AFC West. Dolphins UNDER 9.5 -116: I make Miami slightly better with Fitz, which sounds crazy b/c they were 7-3 under Tua....so I had to dig into why. Post QB switch, if you throw out the week 17 game (I know, I know but stay with me they were desperate fighting for the playoffs and abandoned the game plan), they were +9 in the other 9 Tua starts which would have been good for THIRD for the whole season. That TO luck is unsustainable. If you prefer more sophistication than a random dude on the internet, PFF graded him 31st. I'm looking at two more unders, one of which would be oppo @closetohumping (Bills) and I like Titans if I can get 9.5 at a good price, but it's currently not juicy enough.

Annual Disclaimer: Nobody beats the NFL. I don't beat it, and you don't beat it. We know this. We are all going to lose money in this thread. With that said, the NFL is pretty awesome and pretty fun to gamble on, so let's lose our 10 cents of vig together. Steelers OVER 8.5 +130

Buffalo Bills moving to Austin?
This is a pretty big deal if you're talking about an MLB team drawing from some location in San Marcos on a Tuesday night...it's a pretty insignificant difference for 8 home games. Splitting the cities isn't a good idea either way, but with an NFL team it's at least logistically feasible.

Those are good. I think these are even better (similar but even a little lighter weight).

So how does this forum work?
Oh, I don't like it. Random UT Friend: "Yeah, when I was on the 40 acres you only had to be top 10% in your class to get in...it's a little harder now. What was it like at Kansas?" Me: "On, you know, top ***COUGH***100%***COUGH*** of your class."

COVID-19 2nd wave - Texas only - Stats and such
So far it seems like the vaccine gives a stronger biological response, but it doesn't (yet) seem like that translates into much difference in reinfection vs vaccine breakthrough. Best guess is that higher measureables isn't predictive, but I don't know why. It smells a little bit like how we thought of surface transmission in the early days before we knew how strongly viral load tied to infection.

I've never been able to find it on the iPhone app, but I set my lineup in a web browser (usually) and it is there.
