yeah, baseball also 19th century

Doing things I like

thanks -- was fun doing it

Most of them are MILES away. Some of the most compliant midwits on the planet.

maybe I'll start doing that, thanks

hundreds

anytime!

I'd love the Giants to draft Travis Hunter and sneak a QB in Rd2 if one drops, but I have no idea.

Appreciate you guys having me -- have to run and get my dog from his day camp. Happy to run it back any time.

American football I think started in the 1880s, but I imagine football as the rest of the world knows it is probably older.

ha - I would if I knew the first thing about it. Know almost zero about rugby either.

ha -- it is odd they called it that. Calling soccer "football" makes a lot more sense. I guess back in the day when there wasn't a lot of forward passing, kicking and punting were a bigger aspect of the game.

Fantasy baseball is great (and so is NBA), but it's also hell to manage. I actually outsourced management of my high stakes leagues to some hard core guys. I bought the entry fee, we split the winnings, I draft, they do all the grunt (in-season) management work.

I know VERY little about college football, never really start paying attention until AFTER the draft, once they've slotted into their respective teams. I'm a Giants fans, so I thought we might get one though odd they signed TWO scrub veterans, so maybe not. But after Ward and Sanders, I really don't know.

not live, but some dude I was drinking with in the UK had it on in the background. My former company, RotoWire.com, used to cover cricket, (maybe still do), but it was only because we had a deal with some company in India. I don't even know the rules.

haha, fantasy football is so arbitrary in the playoffs. You can kill it in the regular season and get bounced in the first round. Baseball is much more true to form. One guy had a saying that the village idiot could win your fantasy football league, but never the baseball one.

it's like 4th derivative of actually moving your body

FWIW -- my "career" if you can call it that was in fantasy sports, not sports journalism -- we built a business around that and got pretty serious in high stakes leagues where you could win a good chunk of $.

Tennis is hard, you have to be good at tennis to enjoy it. I'm okay, I like playing, but Padel and paddle tennis are easy to have good points. Never played pickle ball actually, but think I'm scheduled to next week when I'm back in the States.

But as I said, we're Gen-X, basically boomers when it comes to that kind of shit.

yeah, we hired a 22-YO kid to run it, but even he wasn't that into it in the end. It's a weird thing to watch people play video games, IMO
