Ah, my comment sounds snarky, on re-reading. Sorry! Didn't mean it like that. I shared the post, I thought it was interesting. On top of actual ESPN journalism interesting me, it's a fascinating look backwards/earlier into this era of internet-based shared experiences. If pizzagate 1.0 [Fenway] happened today, I probably woulda heard about it. ---- To pay accidental snark tax, and since absolutely nobody asked, and since hubski almost never talks anything sport-related, and since I'm down $120 so far: Every year, I pool $30 into a fantasy football league with 10 other people, winner takes all. First season, I was learning the mechanics, but then I really played. My team name changes every season, but it's always been a pun on "Watson", because I make decisions almost exclusively based on IBM's AI named "Watson" 's point projections every week during the season. The projections are integrated into the fantasy framework, and trusting them kinda weeds out some of the rumors and speculation, imho. Because yeah, I don't actually watch football, or football news, I just check into the ESPN fantasy football app once to thrice a week real quick to make trades, shuffle around my active roster to maximize projected points, etc. ... ANYWAY. Though I may try, I don't know how I'll top last year's scheme. My team name was "WHOSON FIRST WATSON SECOND", in tribute to the Abbott and Costello comedy bit, and my football team's icon was a baseball, appropriately. Even though I scored the most offensive points during the regular season, I got stuck with an unfavorable slot in the playoffs (don't get me started on this). The Grand Plan was to make it to the championship game (playing for 1st or 2nd place) and then bench my entire team shortly before the opening round of games on championship game day, thereby finishing second and forcing a $300 "WATSON SECOND" joke, and also changing the "WHOSON" in my name to the name of the team I forfeited to. And THEN, hopefully my team, the team I benched/dropped, would have otherwise won, to further underline the ridiculousness of it all. Either way, all I had to do was make it to the championship. I narrowly missed it :(. The upcoming season? Well, I've got a new web crawler, and big plans.
