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. Yahoo's numbers are based … Continue reading Looking at the Perceived Values from the Draft
It’s Draft Week!
Just a few more days until the annual shit-show that is our yearly draft happens. With Timmo gone, and Dave drafting remotely, the average BAC is sure to lower than usual, so we'll really need Josh and Kyle to step it up. And with Toepel and Kaiser out west, and Chris drafting via Spirit Airlines … Continue reading It’s Draft Week!
The $40 Men: Checking in on the Draft’s Priciest Players
Last year, there were sixteen different players who inspired at least $40 worth of draft capital, including Jonathan Taylor with the high-water mark of $63 to Dave.

Mr. Irrelevant: A History of Scattered and Indifferent Decisions
As suggested by Chris, I took a look at the last pick of each draft since 2001. Our record here is all over the place. A few gems, a few total whiffs, but mostly just end-of-the-bench guys likely didn't make it all the way through the season on their initial roster. The ranking is figured … Continue reading Mr. Irrelevant: A History of Scattered and Indifferent Decisions
The $40 Men; 2022’s 16 Most Expensive Picks After 4 Weeks
How close were we on determining value on draft night?
Observations Through 3 Weeks
With three games now in the books, I thought it'd be a good time to take a look at how things are going so far, and what kind of oddities we've seen thus far. 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
