    I know I watched non-Browns games waaaaaaay more intently back when I played FF.

    My dad made up a fantasy football league back in the late 60s... had to get the Monday morning papers and manually add up all the points for the teams.

    I only watched a 'little' more. I haven't played in a competitive league in a loooong time. Not going to put that kind of research time into it anymore.

    Yeah, it's been like 15 years for me I think. I remember trading for Michael Vick when he was playing QB for the Eagles towards the end of my run, which should tell you how long ago it was.

    I did enjoy the live draft(s) back in the day. We'd all have to bring food to form a buffet and we'd eat at Half Time (and drink at, All The Time) 🙂 I'd bring my Riddell Browns Helmet and put it on my little table. 🙂

    We used to do them on the back porch of my buddy's house in Shippenville, PA. Good times.

  • TBB community! Brainy Ballers is working hard to put the final touches on our fantasy football app before the upcoming season starts.

    It's a bit different than what you're used to. It amounts to a dynasty league but played in a manner similar to the stock market. Think - combining Robinhood + your favorite fantasy football app.

    Tossing in some screenshots.

    We're looking for beta testers in the next couple days. If this seems like something you're interested in, please DM or @ me your email address and I'll make sure you get an invite.

    I wanna do it Tiamat. I wanna beta test the shit out of it. @orion and @dutch-oven , l wanna talk you in to it too. We don’t actually have to play FF, we’re just helping out one of our own doing cool shit. We could be footnotes on something really cool.

    I encourage all of you Brownsboarders to give it a go.

  • Keeping up with the league I'm in take time enough. It has helped keep up with other teams & players though. Naturally I will try to get the Rams defense on my team since I know they will be better. ?

    All the Ohio Love for Dante Moore, but he was smart to RTS. You can't be a quality 1st Rd QB and struggle to work full field progressions.

    It's Fantasy Football, just in a different format. You can have free leagues just as you'd have fee leagues.

    The dollar values, like the screenshots I posted above, are purely a simulated, "stock market like" type of presentation. It functions as users can "buy" shares of a player out of a pre-determined IPO pool.

    There's no actual money being exchanged (apart from league fees)

    Fantasy Football has been around for 30 years now.

    I should've added 'Just Saying' to my comment. I've been in many fantasy football leagues. And I've run my share of them. As a matter of fact, I've run a little Yahoo league for the last couple of years for my young grandsons to be part of....along with Mrs. Wife, their Mom and her boyfriend (we hate her ex husband...but the boys think of him as daddy) 😞

    I should've clarified that I've got no beef with fantasy football. But truly dislike all of the gambling around sports that there is in this day and age.

    I had no idea I'd lose a mouthful of coffee when I started reading this reply, but it was worth it... I've been in the same 12 man league since 2004 that started in Rochester, NY; and continued on as we've scattered all over the country. We still have 7 or 8 of the original guys using the Yahoo scoing system with PPR and vaious bonuses for rushing/receiving yardages exceeding 100 yards in a game or anyone exceeding 300 passing yards in a game. 6 points per TD. 1 guy that teaches an honors course for a high school out in CA pays for a team and lets 2 or 3 kids run his roster (and he also let's them split the winnings). They're always 1 of the 4 teams that earn 1 of the 4 playoff spots lately. JMO, I don't think he's teaching them to gamble since it's his money paying for it.

    We all have a competitive side in here or we wouldn't be here rooting like crazy for celebrating and sharing our 1st sports miracle together since 1964. On the merciful side of all this, many of us have favorite college and/or high school football teams that have been capable of winning Championships much more recently. If that ain't working - YES, there's fantasy football. If you DO play Fantasy Football - don't be that sissy that let's Yahoo auto-draft your team every year...

    Well done TJ! I've been a critic of his too! I don't see him as an NFL Franchise QB. The things he should be most consistent and efficient with - he hasn't been the times I've seen him. Oregon outclasses a lot of their opponents to the extent even a guy like Dillon Gabriel can put up eye catching stats at the ease of a layup with that adavantage. He needs a lot more work on what he does from the point he gets the snap until the time he releases the throw; because it was a flippin mess. He put the ball on the ground during playaction fakes sometimes without any defender causing it too much for comfort.

    This may be a moot point because Oregon is in the shot-gun a high pecentage of the time. That being the case you know what I didn't pay any attention to TJ - that you might have? At any/all direct snaps under Center, how often does Dante Moore open to his right? Or, to his left? And does one of those have a much bigger influence in the sloppiness he needs to clean up in play-action?

    I only have a handful of games all-22 for Moore. No snaps under center (yet) I'll post more as I find it.

    Thanks TJ! Great example of an effective playcall against a talented Front known to produce 1st round draft picks at DT. The Eagles landed 2 of them in successive drafts. When you play someone like that - your margin of error already walks a very thin tight rope so in your example take what is given/least of all evils. They moved the stix doing so.

    You asked why Mensah is falling down my board. Long winded, but this might help.

    Facing a closed post defense doesn't mean you can't find success throwing vertical & between the hashes. Like any system, defenders can be manipulated & moved to create 'attackable' space.
