My best Lineup (189.2) Huntley Robinson Jones Claypool Cooks Davis Kittle Andrews Bills One Winner (224.4) Huntley Wilson Foreman Kirk Cooks St. Brown Andrews Adams Texans Another Winner (228.4) Huntley Wilson Robinson Cooks Davis Gage Andrews Adams Cowboys I came in the black/green again as a 1.98% Huntley was absolutely the play. The bonus (fake) news about Lamar possibly playing was a glorious thing that fell right into our laps this morning. Somewhere around 40,000 feet (and a fuck

Shitting on Urban Meyer's Jaguras grave will never get old.  Bask in its warming glow. Will the two fixtures left standing (as of this writing) even go forward?  I have my doubts.  I also don't really give a fuck, because of what I said last week (Everton being ruined by an

So, the Bowl matchups for what King Hippo affectionately calls JV Footy came out and I was perusing them and had some thoughts. Ergo Ipso Factum Testiculum, here we are. There are a grand total of 44 (FORTY FOUR!) bowl games this year, so I am breaking them into pieces

With about 1:38 left in the Buffalo v Tampa game yesterday, it was 4th and 4 for Josh Allen and the Bills. I was praying that the Bucs would stop them and end the game right there. The reason? Ja'Marr Chase had just caught his second TD in the SF

Yesterday was another lesson on something that I am still personally working on: The Late Swap. Close to the start of the 4PM games, I had a lineup in a large field gpp that was top 100. I had one player to go...Antonio Gibson. Since he was going to carry ownership,

ALL HAIL Northern Illinois! JV Shempionship Evening Thread

Oh my cats.  They really, really did it!  Northern Illinois' 700 pound coach and his JV charges redeemed their only single-digit MAC loss (they were 6-1 in such contests), cashing in Hippo's September prop bet.  $20 at 250 to 1, which is $5K for the maths non-inclined.  Nobody told you there

How is it December and Week 13 already? More importantly, why I haven't I won more $? I actually have a theory about the second question. A couple years ago I read some research about the fluctuation, or potential fluctuation, of NFL scoring and how it could potentially impact fantasy football
