Can we get a Vegas draft RJEL league going so that we are all forced to meet up in Vegas once a year?If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

Those are new data points to consider, for sure, but I don't know that they are *required* in order to compete.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

The problem will likely be differing interest levels in the depth of the league. I'm just not that interested in a crazy deep league but that seems to be the norm around here. I'm guessing we'll be lucky to find 12 interested which is fine by me but might be too shallow for others. And I have no interest in an only-league.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it.

I too am competing with close to zero consideration given to those things. What I was saying was, if I was asked to play FB for the first time, and went to check out the FB discussion on Reddit, Twitter, etc, I’d give the offer a big nope.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerWe pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.

We still have lots of owners from the early days and I enjoy that aspect of it. I have dabbled in other leagues over the years, but they come and go. I have been successful in them, but I do not find the victories as rewarding. I like crushing my friends more than strangers.2021 Auction Anatomy
