In what universe does winning a FF Title not require some luck? It's all part of the process




Yeah I'm not sure how scooping Conner amidst all the Brll rumors was luck and not skill.

And what the frick is the difference between luck and skill in FFB, anyway? You can make the absolute best, correct decision in a sit/start and then have it blow up in your face. Was that a lack of skill or bad luck?

Again, this reasoning is flawed.

Say one guy has the first pick and drafts gurley and wins his league.

the next guy drafted David Johnson first then happened to be on Twitter when bell news broke. So he goes and grabs connors before anyone else.

Both guys win their league. Well the guy who drafted gurley bc he knew he was a dog and won his title. That is skill. The guy who missed in David Johnson then happened to be looking at Twitter then went and claimed connors, that is not as skilled.

See what I am saying. It is all relative but clearly some titles are better than others if we looking at if they were lucky or skill. If you got connors and ride him to the title as bell cow that is more on the luck/fluke side of the scale as opposed to being a skilled evaluator.

Whatever. At the end of the day I don't give a shite if I win a championship off of "luck" or "skill". That money's going in my bank account either way.

Yea that’s where we differ. I don’t play for the money I play for the competition. And when you have a Trophy case full of titles you look back more fondly on the ones that were won more on the skilled side than the lucky side.

If you own a fantasy football trophy case in general and look back and relish on your FF championships... you might just have some deeper rooted issues that I can't help you with

Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown was cited Thursday morning after he allegedly drove over 100 mph on Pittsburgh streets, according to WPXI.

WPXI reports that Brown, who was in a black Porsche, was charged with reckless driving after speeding past an officer.

A Steelers spokesman said the team is aware of the situation and gathering information.

D We all got our reasons for playing these games for a lot it is to make a little extra money. That’s not why I like to play I am just a competitor I like to compete. Go up against other People and see who comes out on top. The money is what keeps most people interested in it. But it not the motivator to me. Maybe that is why I view my titles through a different lens than someone who is it in for the money.

whenever I hadn’t won a whole lot Of titles l would take them how I can get them. I imagine that’s where you are in your fantasy career. So I have bee there believe me. But when you get to the top of the mountain you can see there’s a difference in these titles. Some are more skill and some are moreso luck or fluke.

Berry is a talented writer and podcast host but I’m not a so sure that he is a very good fantasy football player. I would need to see his trophy case

I prefer Ingram. Seems he has a full tank of gas doesn’t it. Should be really good to close the season.

How are we feeling about DJ Moore tonight? With Sanders on bye and Green hurt, my options are very limited.
