Looking Back at Pre-Draft QB Projections

Every year we gather around the glow of a computer monitor and do our best not to embarrass ourselves during the draft. For 25 years we've done this Yahoo, and in front of our eyes, Yahoo suggests their rankings as a guideline. We all know these suggestions are all but worthless for IDPs, but how … Continue reading Looking Back at Pre-Draft QB Projections

Looking at the Perceived Values from the Draft

Heading into the draft, Yahoo set projected values for every player to use as a tool in auction drafts. For many reasons, these values are, to say the least, wildly inaccurate when combined with our particular league settings - but it's still guideline for the overall expected performance of a player.

Only One 2K Team In Week 3, only The Mexico City Quasars broke 2000 points. Scoring overall is down a little … Continue reading Observations Through 3 Weeks

Welcome to the Shitshow; 2022 SCL Draft

Wednesday, August 31 2022 marked our historic return to the now defunct halls of education where most of us met each other. The skeletal remains of Eddy Elementary have replaced scholarly pursuits with rooms of booze and a Keller Williams office, but the weight of Eagle Pride was still present in the heart and bowels … Continue reading Welcome to the Shitshow; 2022 SCL Draft
