NFL season starts tonight!!! ๐๐
Fantasy players, some rewards are starting to trickle into the prize pool!
@mellofello is a monster and sent me his donation share (1.88 STEEM), and I added on my share from my posts whose rewards have come in:
for full-measure/tomorrow-is-the-steemit-fantasy-football-draft 1.373
for full-measure/my-draft-in-the-steemit-fantasy-football-league 0.319
Any time you see the 'sff2018' tag on a post, it means the liquid rewards from that post will be donated to the league prize pool.
And as always, you can look at the 'savings' part of my wallet to see the current prize pool.
Hopefully we can run it up and have a nice prize.
Our original buy-ins were in SBD, but the rewards trickling in are in STEEM. So the prize pool will end up being a mix of STEEM and SBD. (Personally, I like the mix. But if people want to convert to one or the other we can discuss that.)
If anyone NOT IN THE LEAGUE wants to see what the league looks like, I think you should be able to view it here: https://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/1194197
TONITE it's my very own Julio Jones going up against Nick Foles and the Philadelphia Eagles.
@misterhorse seems to have recently dropped Nick Foles .. I'm not sure why you'd drop the reigning Super Bowl MVP ๐คท๐คท but hopefully it works out for you, horse.
Other shenanigans right now are that Le'Veon Bell is caught up in a high stakes game of chicken with the Steelers organization, and it's bugging the heck out of @kitzchris and could put a dent in his week 1 lineup.
It's looking increasingly likely that Bell will not play, but hopefully won't miss much more than the one week. Fantasy gaming is just a brutal sport sometimes.
watching without cable
I might break down and buy cable for a few months. But I don't have that set up yet. It seems like Thursday night games are broadcast by Amazon Prime video.
So I feel like I'm okay for tonite and can procrastinate a couple more days.
There are so many choices. A wise man once told me that he likes Trader Joe's because you don't have to deal with the choices. They have the one ketchup, the one dill pickle, the one of everything.
I don't know if I want DirectTV or cable or Fubo. If I can angleshoot free trial after free trial, use Vanilla Visa if need be, or if they notice at some point. It's all just a lot.
Edit to add:
I changed the name of the league to STEEM POWERED
Seems better and classy, am I right?
I may have kept Foles if I was playing you for the fun of it, but apparently he's not good most of the time and Tyrod Taylor has better projections. I also secretly hope that the Browns are good this year.
I'm a fan, puns are good
If you have a tv you could get a cheap digital antenna and watch some games on the broadcast networks. But that depends on if there are local stations near you. I live in the middle of nowhere so it's not a good option for me.
hmmm, ya I wondered about that, we have a "smart TV". I think it probably doesn't work with antennas at all?
It's funny that I'd be better off with an old TV.
The new digital antennas work with modern TVs. I think it uses coaxial cables.
Also, Foles sucked last night so glad I didn't play him! Come on Tyrod.
ya, good job fading Foles
ooo digital antenna
so many options!!!
Oh, I'll also be monitoring this thread for the fun dunks on spammers
baha sick ,,
I'm on Augur right now (prediction market.. no one really uses it).. trying some tricks
I'm gonna try to buy a share of 'tails' on the coin flip if it lands tails and I buy the 'heads' share before anyone else is able to get it ๐คท
it was heads, damn
Thanks for the mention @full-measure. And thank YOU for your donation. You are doing an awesome job as our commish. Keep up the great work. Thumbs up on our new league name.
Best wishes to all teams this week.
thanks man!! and good luck to you too, in this and all your football shenanigans!
lol my favorite grocery store is Trader Joeโs as well. I watched interview with Le'Veon Bellโs manager. It seem like itโs getting more personal. Everyone is waiting for Bell whether he shows up today or not. It seems like he will miss first game, but to me, itโs complete nonsense.
ya, looks like it's become a mess, like whenever he does finally show up.. might be some friction and drama and whatnot to get over.
looks like you don't have anyone in the Thursday game .. we'll see if Mr. Julio Jones can start me off okay against you
@full-measure do you have an Android phone? I can point you in the direction of a good app for football
ooo that'd be cool!! I do have an Android tablet collecting dust but it's been messed up and I haven't been using it. But curious to know the app ๐
It's called NFL live streaming app on play store. So far works great all the games are free
Search nflstreams in Reddit too. That's a decent source
