Welp. 22 years later I’m no longer at Rotoworld or whatever it’s called today. I’m a free agent!! It was a great ride. Made great friends and had a great time. Still in shock. Is Luka playing tonight? Love y’all.

Is there anything more annoying in fantasy than your opponent having the fewest COVID postponements and destroying you because you have red ppd next to half your team?

Been a rough couple years. Laid off by NBC in my prime and didn't see it coming a year ago. Duped by Sportstopia just in time for these holidays. But welcomed by ESPN and Rotowire - What a couple of great outfits to work for. I'm lucky and love both of those jobs. LFG.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a player with seven turnovers and zero assists…

Just won my 2nd 30-Deep title and given the year I've had, it's icing on cake. Cruising at NBC for retirement. Laid off. ESPN/RotoWire Freelancer, announced into the FSWA HoF, has cancer, Wins 30 Deep for the 2nd time. I didn't expect two frivolous honors to mean so much to me.

Look. I'm gonna let it go, eventually. But a family was ripped apart for no reason and I'm kinda heated. These guys are my ride or dies and it is what it is. But as the great Walter Sobchak once said, "This will not stand, ya know. This aggression will not stand, man"

Oh man Kawhi’s jaw just got wrecked by teammate Serge Ibaka’s elbow. Didn’t look good. Hope his jaw’s not broken. He walked to the locker room after they cleaned up the blood.

Rookie Shaedon Sharpe is one of the best in-game dunkers I’ve ever seen. He was in the dunk contest but declined in order to focus on getting ready for second half of the season. First off, that’s mind blowing. Secondly, we were robbed. He woulda put on an old-school show.

My kid ran out of house as I was pulling away today...I put window down and he said "Did you hear that Dame got traded to Pelicans?" I immediately pulled out phone and he said "Dad, don't do anything, just kidding". That's a son I can get behind. I panicked.

My fantasy hoops philosophies, short version.
1. Don’t draft guys over the age of 29.
2. Don’t draft rookies.
3. Get your guys.
4. It’s more about having fun than money.
5. Play in leagues that use your preferred website.
That’s it.

Anger. Sadness. Karma. Retirement. Waffle House. Being a Dad. Kicking Ass. Rising from the dead. Sleep. Not sleep. Listing Anthony Davis and LeBron as game-time decisions. Poku. Chris Bosh/Boucher. This is what I do. It's in my blood.

I've written 1,000 word rants on trade vetoes and my hatred of them. My Fournett for his OBJ just got vetoed (arguments include "collusion, not a fair trade," etc). I drafted fournett at 18, OBJ went 23, we both trading to strengthen our weakness. I HATE VETOES.

I get that, but then again, the money they're making, I think they'll be OK on the other side. People making $25K a year get fired randomly all the time and no one cares. Guy making $22 million a year has to change locations and make new friends? he'll be all right

Amazing to see so many people on Twitter asking for sites to void their Kevin Porter Jr. bets because he left in the first quarter. Welcome to gambling, kids.

This gonna be controversial but I think tonight is a perfect example of Luka & Trae. A bad night for Luka is 27-7-7 & 6 TOs, 1-of-7 deep & a win. Trae bad night is 3-of-12, 0-of-8 3s with 9 points, 3 dimes, 4 TOs in a loss. This is what's different about them. For now...
