Costco is pretty dang cheap for clothes. Not sure why I would buy anywhere else


I've been buying so many clothes from there recently. Cheap to begin with, but they all rotate going on sale too. I'm pretty much completely replacing my business casual workwear from there. I won't buy anything that doesn't have 4 way stretch now. There's no going back to non-stretch for me.
I'm a victim of both Ladd and Rice leaving their games early and giving me double goose eggs.

I'm just on the wrong side of injuries this week. I played against Puka and Emmanual Wilson in both of my leagues. So of course Puka comes back and dominates the week I go against him in both leagues and Wilson benefits from Price going on IR the week I play him in both leagues.

re: Kalif Raymond a thing?

Raymond isn't really quite the same as parker washington. Dude has been in the league for about 10 years, so I have my doubts he's suddenly an alpha WR.


Absolutely, that's why I said it's not exactly apples to apples. I just mean that we all assume it can't continue because there's bigger names in front of him and the cream will eventually rise to the top. But it's not always the case. 3 games isn't a HUGE sample size, but so far, it looks very concerning for all of the other receiving options in that offense that were thus far massively over-hyped.

As for OP's question though, I definitely rather Raymond over Godwin.
Mine has 0 awareness of our current inventory of perishable food items. She'll buy something with a short expiration date that we already had stocked. Like she'll buy a loaf of bread or gallon of milk when we already had a new one we just opened, so now we have to eat a shite ton of sandwiches and milk or we'll be throwing away most of it.

And even worse, she'll open a new item when we already had an open one in use. We always have multiple open ketchup bottles, multiple opened peanut butters, multiple opened bags of the same type of chips, etc. Drives me freaking crazy.

Godwin has looked bad, Tampa has looked bad, and the QB situation is gonna be gross for a few weeks. Think I'd rather take a shot on Raymond for higher upside.

I know this isn't exactly apples to apples with draft capital and age of the players, but remember everybody was hesitant to buy into Michael Wilson and Parker Washington because they were relative unknowns and not technically supposed to be outperforming the supposed #1 alpha WRs in front of them. But sometimes you gotta take a leap of faith that something might be a trend before it becomes too obvious to everybody else.

He's getting a lot of targets in a coveted Ben Johnson offense. So it's not like these were outliers where he had one catch for a long TD. Odunze has had a lot of drops and been pretty putrid dating back to halfway thru last season, so it's possible he's just dropped in the pecking order. Loveland has been a total non-factor. Burden has had one good game. I wouldn't argue that Raymond is the clear cut #1 option for that team, but I guess my point is that there is NO clear cut #1 on that team, so it's worth taking your shots

You can't file a BS lawsuit and then say you are disappointed that the other side is defending themself against said lawsuit.


This was my first thought reading their statement. It's like if I tried to stab you, and then when you deflect my attempt, I say I am disappointed in you for defending yourself. They are the aggressor and are disappointed in the victim not just rolling over and taking it. I cannot fathom how bad the SECs lawyers are that are advising all this. It's one misstep on top of another.
If Watson stays healthy he'll be one of the draft steals of the year. Got him everywhere.

Unfortunately in one league his performance was negated by a hefty negative score by the GB defense. Of course the falcons put up this crazy offense as soon as I target them.
I had Cook and was going against Allen last week. It's very frustrating to watch 12 point swings in favor of my opponent every time they're on the goal line.
I've always thought a penalty on the team for something a fan does is stupid, even if it benefits my team. How's the team responsible for there being one idiot amongst 102,000 people?

What's to stop an opposing fan from dressing up like the home team fan and throwing shite to draw a penalty?

The pendulum probably swung a bit too far on the hype and his ADP climbed a bit too high, but the reasoning was still solid. He was (almost) a first round pick, very talented, very fast, and was tearing it up in camp and pre-season. Add to that the constant injuries the 9ers always have and there was a clear path to relevance. Deebo is old, Mike Evans is old and was missing time in camp with injuries, Ricky Pearsall out for season, CMC is old and injury prone, Kittle is coming off a bad injury. The opportunity was there.

The SEC's selective enforcement and apparent bias against LSU that they just exposed to the whole world puts them in a precarious spot if they want to start making repeated, glaring and egregious calls that influence the outcomes of games against LSU. Not sure I can recall any time in the past that a school would have a solid case to claim collusion for a bad call.
quote:

Sankeys attorney has been questioning him for a while. Line of questioning is focused around how this will ruin the future of college football if teams are allowed to recruit players cut by the NFL as well as players who will be cut from their college teams and replaced by these NFL players.

We know that both of those points are wrong, but that's the direction the Sec is taking.


They have nothing :rotflmao: This is a one-time thing with the 2022 class, which again, you can thank the NCAA for making this a clusterfrick. Should not be a recurring issue, so no grounds to whine about a future injury that cannot happen. Secondly, at least in LSU's case, they established they had the open roster spots for these players.

Lane was two steps ahead by forming that "Team Leadership Council" and having the players address the media that they all openly wanted these players and even voted on it. Genius.
Yes I understand that, it's just an extreme example to illustrate that estate situations can vary wildly. Therefore giving a price before the attorney knows all the details is premature. Most places should be able to give a decent price range to expect, though.
They want to do consultations because successions aren't one-size-fits-all. Estates range from having 1 heir and very little assets to having 10 heirs spread across the country who hate each other and the estate is very complex on top of that. There's not a set price range - it will be tailored to your unique set of circumstances.

It's like asking a plumber how much it would be to do "plumbing work" at your house without any other details. How big of a house? Is this including lugging a hot water heater into an attic, or is it fixing one leaky faucet?

All that being said, if the estate is really small and straightforward, it could be as little as $250-$1000.
:lol: This guy has no more influence over this than any of us here. He's probably just trying to butter up his Georgia voting base for his next election.

re: SNAP denial

Posted by Neauxla_Tiger on 9/2/26 at 3:22 pm to
I just got back from the grocery and cokes were on sale, marked down roughly 33%. I've been seeing sales pretty frequently and this coincides with an article I just saw about soft drink sales being down 12%+ nationally as the SNAP restrictions set in. This is the way.

This also coincides with a recent article about demand for bariatric surgeries being down. Now that is more likely a result of the Ozempic crowd losing weight with pills now instead, but I'm hopeful that between the Ozempics and SNAP restricting the junk food that the next thing we'll see is an easing in the healthcare sector for less heart disease, diabetes, etc. A trend downward in less obesity in this country would go a long way to fix a lot of problems.
I have both Ego and black and decker weed eaters and blowers. I upgraded to the ego and it's much heavier duty with more serious batteries that last through my entire session without needing to be swapped. Only downside to the egos are that they are a lot heavier, so the black and decker still have an application if I just want to do some light work, or need more precision.

As far as gas vs battery, it's really nice to build out your powered tools ecosystem where they all use the same battery that you can switch to whatever you need. One battery and one charger, maybe a few spare batteries if you're working all day, and that's all you need.

re: Keeper Help

Bijan is my vote. He is 1.01 or 1.02 usually, so getting him at 1.10 and pairing with another elite RB or WR with the 2.01 would be a great foundation.

In a 10 man league, there's so many good QB options that unless you're keeping Josh Allen with the last pick, then I don't see it being a huge impact keeping Maye.

James Cook would end up being your 2.01 pick if you kept him, which is about where you'd be able to get him anyway, so I don't see that being a value.



Not to hijack, but I hate to clutter the board with Keeper threads, so I'll pose my keeper question:

12 team, PPR, $200 auction draft. Do I keep Waddle for $9 or Judkins for $2. I think Judkins is the pick because it's hard to beat getting a RB2ish for basically free. It's just the allure of what Waddle could be in a much better offense. I'm scared Judkins will be TD or bust in a shitty Cleveland offense that may not use him in the passing game at all. But then Waddle is always hurt too.
Yeah that's why I liked the smaller ones. Those huge tournaments you basically have to pick the perfect team or be so against the grain with obscure players to differentiate yourself from the millions of other teams that pick all the same players.

I am. I see the big best ball tournaments, but I was looking more for smaller 10-12 man leagues. I could've sworn I did some smaller ones in DK last year. Oh well, guess I'll take what I can get.

Maybe Fanduel stopped, but they definitely had it at one point in the past. I remember doing like a dozen bestball drafts for shits and gigs in their app a couple years ago.
