I’m on a train from Sintra (best city I’ve ever visited) or Porto without wifi, which means I can’t watch the film I need to in order to finish up the next column for your 2025 rookie drafts.

Fun post today:

I broke down each side of the Geno-Darnold swap including the fantasy and real life angles for MIN / SEA / LVR

I also made the case for Geno Smith as a top-10 QB, and ranked all 32 teams' starters (***right*** behind the ol' pay wall of course)

You would think if the chief concern was how a shut down would effect Dems' general election chances someone like Ossof - up in 2026 - would be on this list

Instead it's a bunch of impending retirees who don't have to answer to their own voters, and leadership members who are addicted to losing
The Dems who joined the GOP on today’s cloture vote: Cortez Masto (NV), Durbin (IL), Fetterman (PA), Gillibrand (NY), King (ME), Hassan (NH), Peters (MI), Schatz (HI), Schumer (NY), Shaheen (NH).

So far the approach of every Canadian citizen and politician has been to put up a united and defiant front against baseless economic war... and Trump has folded within 48 hours every time

Good to know the "opposition" party is adopting the roll over and die strategy instead. I'm sure it'll go well
March 14, 2025 at 9:04 PM
Seems bad that in the lead up to the shut down vote Dems spent 24 hours actively waffling, and essentially taking agency for the potential shut down.

The gambit only works if you win the PR war, and they've certainly kneecapped their odds of that since yday regardless of outcome

I wrote this on Saturday but the intro is ahead of the paywall re: the prospect of a RB MVP

If they gave me a vote it would be for Allen

But I have zero issue with a Barkley MVP. More importantly, most "valuable" is not as objective as made out to be

Plenty of talk about trade deadlines atm:

All above the paywall, I laid out my case for my most strongly held belief in dynasty:

TRADE DEADLINES ARE GOOD!

No deadline leagues create bad incentives that undermine everything they intend to support

The echo chamber conversation is weird because the people making those criticisms (journalists) use social media to escape echo chambers whereas I think most normal people have jobs where they rarely interact with people who share their exact values, social media connects them to likeminded folk
I do think the "echo-chamber" conversation is over-simplified, no doubt, but also I think everybody can always benefit from assessing what they've convinced they're doing by way of action, what they are actually doing, and adjusting accordingly. Same goes for being critical of who / how we engage.

Alright, in celebration of the vibes actually being fun over here... let's dive into the Week 11 slate.

Here's one nugget I found on each game while writing the Walkthrough, my weekly preview article.

People thought Dawson Knox was worth a Round 8 pick underdog pick when Stefon Diggs went in Round 1 and Gabe Davis went in Round 4.

Those people were wrong.

But he’s probably worth a start tomorrow!

I think dynasty should reward players who want to be as creative as possible so long as they are each making deals with the intent of advancing the interest of their own team

Rentals are a synthesis of what optimal play should look like anyhow (1/??)
@jakobsanderson.bsky.social - please please make a post on here defending your ‘rental trades’ take on your most recent Substack - I can’t get my head around it. Maybe it’s good??
