    Shame there's not a baseball sub, but anybody else still a fan?  Games are far more accessible to be watched now with pitch clocking, and the huge shift to straight power lineups has created more scoring. 

    Braves, Rays, Dodgers and Houston are far and away the best teams in the league, and the Braves may be a historically great team by the end of October. 

    We used to have a baseball sub that I moderated but that was a while back. I love baseball (Phillies Fan) and the new format that it has moved to. Feel like baseball is moving in a good direction.

    I'm still in a fantasy baseball league with some of the guys from the Huddle of yesteryear like Nance, Medical Malpractice, and a couple of others. We've been doing that for 10+ years or probably even longer. Haven't posted here in a couple years but a baseball thread brought me out of of the woodwork. : )

    talk about memory lane.

    found some other years/links

    2007  https://www98.myfantasyleague.com/2007/home/59939

    2008  https://www98.myfantasyleague.com/2008/home/49168

    2009  https://www66.myfantasyleague.com/2009/home/37167#0

     

    I think we had "unofficial" league for several years before 2007 the same way it is going down now, with 2-3 leagues.  Zod made a forum because FF posts would drive some guys nuts for some reason.

    The same for 2010 and a few years later.  That is where I went back to just one league and Bwood and some others stepped up to run additional leagues.

     

     

    That is incredible to scroll through and see those names. You put A LOT of work into those leagues and did a great job!

    Can't be believe looking through that list, I had my 14 year old son in that league and he is nearing 30 and has his own family now. lol....time flies!

    Thanks for posting those my guy and hope you are doing well!

  3. So some nice news for this thread and an update to something I posted last week. I shared a local news clip about my ex wife's bistro that was days from closing down because of the pandemic. Since that aired she had a string of recording breaking days. People drove from more than an hour away, ordered a $10 meal to go and handed her $100, $200, (even $500 in one instance) and told her to keep the change. She spread this good fortune among her employees for sticking with her through this. 

    I am sure that surge will die off eventually but there are still some really good people in this world. This generosity from total strangers will keep her business and her employees going for awhile longer and hopefully help sustain them until things get back to "normal", what ever that might be. If any of you were able to visit and contribute to her business, I really appreciate the support.

    Good to see you here.  Nice post.  Hope the best for her restaurant.

    Stay well.

    Good to see here you also. Stay at home or open businesses...it’s a hard decision and a lot of people are hurting for different reasons.. I see both sides and wish everyone well. Just be kind to one another during these times. That we should all agree on.

  5. Hey everyone...

    I don’t post here here much anymore and not sure how to embed a YouTube video but if any of you live in Iredell County NC , specifically Statesville, I would appreciate any assistance you could give to a local business. This is my ex of 20 years and mother of my 2 kids and she is close to shutting her restaurant down and could use the help. She is a good person and many of the original members know her. No Go Fund me or anything like that. Just a news clip to show what people are going through. It’s a hard time for a lot of people. Thanks Huddle and this seemed like an appropriate place the post this. Hope you are all well and enjoy the draft. 

     

    XOXO,

  6. Philly definitely presents some challenges with their uptempo, quick hitting offense when clicking is tough to stop. We've seen McCown throw for 300 (without Luke) using a similar quick passing scheme. Philly has some guys that can move in their front 7 as well. Barwin, Cox, Alonso, Kendricks are all pretty athletic.

     

    Thankfully our OL is a bit different this time around. Last year in Philly the OL consisted of Bell, Amini and Chandler... Cam stood no chance. It also didn't help that Deangelo fumbled on the second play of the game. It'll be interesting to see how the Panthers come out coming off their huge win in Seattle. 

    Doubtful Alonso or Kendricks see the field this week. Alonso hasn't played a full game since week 1 and Kendricks has been out the last couple games with a hamstirng. DeMeco Ryans might be out as well with a hamstring but I think he hopes to play. 

  7. Let me tell you something Proehl. . .

     

    Donald LaFell is a starting 1 in this league.

    But not until he left here, so what does that say?

    I guess that is something I just never understood. How can everyone yell from the mountain top that the WRs sucked the last few years, never get separation, drop easy passes, etc.  but at the same time they proclaim that Proehl is the best WR's coach in the league? 

    What makes Proehl so much better than the other WR coaches in the league but none of his WRs have done anything until he got a 1st round pick with Benjamin? I honestly have no idea if Proehl is good or not but apparently many people know he is but something just doesn't add up there. 

    I know, I know....it's Shula's fault.

  8. Since it's summer and everything is casual. I MUST at all times make sure at least one foot is not under the covers. Even if it's sub zero in my room i can't wear socks while sleeping. I will not go to the doctor on a Tuesday unless it's an absolute emergency. I never grab the top newspaper from a stand. Never drink coffee between noon and 4. To name a few.

    What is the deal with going to a doctor on Tuesday?

  9. How old is he? He was drafted in the same class as hangman. What a good draft for lineman. 

    ​33...that may be a bit on the old side but considering he didn't play much in his early years, he probably has more left in the tank than most his age. 

  10. ​Why Dave, why???

    ​Well I don't think it's a coincidence that I post something about Taylor and a couple of days later Dave is also a hug fan.....

    It's obvious he reads the Huddle in his spare time and is a big fan of me. 

  11. I don't know what happened with that first post but anyway,,, those things are huge and especially in a kayak. One came out of nowhere and stole a big king mackerel that we were attempting to land on a boat down in Clearwater. Scare the sh*t out of all of us.....happened later that day again but it was a shark and not a grouper. 

    Had he not released it, he would have been in some big time trouble. You are not allowed to restrain or attempt to take them out of the water. Very protected,
