Please, please don't just stick out your Penix...
That is one thing you need to know.

But also, I generally keep the same team name.

What could Broncos stadium district at Burnham Yard look like? KSEโ€™s Hollywood Park is one roadmap. The Denver Broncosโ€™ Burnham Yard plan could bring SoFi-style mixed-use development, blending housing, retail, and entertainment with a new stadium.

As amazing as SoFi Stadium is, it's not near ANYTHING, especially mass transit. The Broncos have such a great opportunity to extend community with their Burnham Yards development and small area plan.

Tim Buckley (CEF):
โ€œI think China is using it in a very, very geopolitically savvy way, taking advantage of Americaโ€™s stupidity and regression back into a petrostate,โ€ he says, adding: โ€œChina just wins.
America has abrogated the playing field.โ€

Works begins on Newark Airportโ€™s new $3.5B AirTrain | 6sqft Newark Airport's new AirTrain fleet will include seven five-car trains, each carrying 135 to 160 passengersโ€”more than doubling the current capacity.

Even as an infrequent NY traveler (avg 1 visit/22 yrs), I applaud this wholeheartedly.
On our visit 2 weeks ago, flying into Terminal A - was directed to a bus that would take us to the Air Train, only to watch it do a glorified U-turn. They could've made a 1,600 ft walkway and avoided the shuttle.

Quentin Johnson and 2 1sts was not enough.

I think conditional trades (and locking of picks) will suppress trades overall.
Last year I tracked the 5 times I owned the same 4.05 rookie pick.
This year, I tracked the 6 times the 1.03 (and later Tet McMillan) were traded before the NFL season even started.

How would you even go about administering this?
I assume the proper process would lock all possible picks. That takes a significant amount of flexibility away.
Take measured chances and live with the results

One of my favorite soccer games ever - watching my friendโ€™s kids elite team in a prestigious tourney.
Playing a team from a blue collar town that all grew up together. The lunch pail kids destroyed my friendโ€™s elite team.
TBH I was cheering for the other team after a while. Not unlike Rocky 4.

I coached a really good local U-16 (then 17) girls soccer team. The best of them joined the best from the neighboring club for U-18 to compete a division up.
Went to a game that wasnโ€™t going well.
Quip from a mom, โ€œwell there goes her scholarship!โ€
IDK WTF. It can be fun. Or some contrived destiny.

#SFB15 Scott Fish Bowl week 5 update:
We are back on the see-saw.
Not a bad week, but 2 losses and not very close.
Puka was great. I finally had a good week from Calvin Ridley, who gets my gif of the week.
Record: 4-6
9th in Houston Texans division.
3042nd overall

That feeling when you trade for Kyren Williams, but still have to play against him.

In my 2nd year of dynasty, and this is my favorite play - hit the waiver wires as a prelude to trades.

I was so fortunate to trade the yet-unexposed Jake Browning for JK Dobbins a few weeks ago.

Pretty poor rate of return over 227 years, to be honest.

I should place counter bets on Cooper Kupp and Marvin Mims. If they are in my lineup, meh. Out of lineup - all-stars.

#SFB15 Scott Fish Bowl week 4 update:
This was a great week for my team. Puka had 62.5 points. But Iโ€™m giving credit here to Bo Nix who provided clearance above the median score to earn 2 points.
Now at 4-4, 8th in the Houston Texans division and at 2818 in overall standings.

I remember when Wal-Martโ€™s big sales pitch was that their clothes were made in the USA.
I have no idea how long that was true. But surely much of the customer base still thinks it is.

Evidently Iโ€™m on the same side as literally everyone who bothered to reply.
Except those who made a TikTok out of their reaction.

I got to learn first hand about New Jersey jug handle intersections!
Did I need to drive over 2 miles to get to a Panera 1/2 mile from my hotel? Yes indeed.
Did the state save acres upon acres of ROW by not having dedicated turn lanes? Also yes.
Are drivers safer without unprotected left turns? Yes?

Good thing I made Tory Horton my ride-or-die choice in rookie and startup drafts.
On all but one of my dynasty teams - mad itโ€™s not ALL of them, tbh.
In all candor, part of my rationale was based on him being a CSU Ram. ๐Ÿ But also recognized his draft stock was depressed by senior year injury.

Pair that with what I learned at the Holocaust Museum in June. Nazi Germany was actively encouraging emigration of Jews and others. But few countries would take them, US included. Not discounting Nazi atrocities. But much of it could have been eliminated if theyโ€™d just been allowed to leave.

Visited Ellis Island and learned more about the first America First fad. I hadnโ€™t known that EI was really only active for less than 30 years.
Quota acts in 1921/24 essentially shut it down.
Then it was an internment center.
