Halloween is upon us. Spooky season. For the first time ever, you’ll see me include a hockey video in this post. And a very rare baseball one. The Blue Oysters finally tasted defeat this week, joining the Heroes and Piranha Brothers among the one loss titans. But lurking in the darkest recesses of the SPFL…
Sunk Costs
Sunk cost fallacy: I learned this in my freshman economics class under Doc Greear. “The irrational tendency to continue investing in something simply because you’ve already invested too much to walk away.” SPFL Owners might call it Jaylen Waddle. Or Ladd McConkey. Or Omarion Hampton. Or AJ Brown. I also call it The Dallas Cowboys….
Throwback Uniforms and Throwaway Wins
Tonight’s NFL matchup will carry us back to the “good old days”. Two glorious uniforms will be on display with the classic Orange Crush Broncos gear going up against that royal blue and silver menagerie of the Seattle Seahawks. I will probably find myself scanning the sidelines for Randy Gradishar, Steve Largent and some oversized…
Stages of Grief
They say there are five stages of grief. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. I think it applies to me and my Moops this season (And most season since, oh, about 2017). Denial came to me, early on, when I convinced myself that, at 2-0, I was finally a contender again. Losing my dynasty QB,…
Making Me (Us?) Look Stupid
Three weeks into the season and I have reached an important conclusion: I don’t know anything about NFL football. Or the SPFL, for that matter. My days of having a grasp of the game and our league have long since passed me by. I admit it, I spend most all of the second half of…
The Department of SPFL Insecurity
There comes a time in every fantasy season when the optimism of the draft gives way to the harsh realities of real football. But it usually takes longer than two weeks! For most of us, outside of the younger set of Perry Brothers, we look at our fantasy rosters today and realize that the healthiest…
Overreaction Week
There are certain traditions that tell me fall has officially arrived. The mornings are just a little bit cooler. Christmas supplies pop up in Cracker Barrel and Walmart. Pumpkin spice starts showing up in everything from coffee creamer to Old Spice man soap. And us Cowboys fans continue questioning every decision that led me to…
Season Kickoff Loading …
Okay, folks, one last short blog post to pass along a few tidbits as we head off toward kickoff. Just a couple of business items: We’ve received dues from 9 of 12 teams so far. I won’t call anyone out because (a) the season hasn’t even started yet and we are ahead of most seasons’…
The Calm Before The Draft: Predictions, Reminders, and One Last Chance at Keepers
Three days from now, the rush from our annual SPFL Draft will be wearing off. If form holds … The Midgets will have accidentally auto-drafted their first four picks despite being online for the draft. The Brothers will have loaded up on four of the best WRs the league has to offer. The Lightning will…
Preseason Check In
The season (whether you consider the NFL or the SPFL as primary is a personal choice) is creeping closer and I just wanted to check in with everyone to make sure all was well. As always, I heard from the usual handful of folks after my opening manifesto and then the dramatic Draft Order video…
