This is just stupid. Even the highly partisan Republican report on Benghazi doesn't allege this.

I guess the press should stick to pushing Republican causes.

Re: New York Fantasy Sports Legislation

We will see what each state does. If we want to stay in New York, Pennsylvania, California and other states that charge season-long game operators we will have to figure out a way to make it work. It might be a combination of state surcharges and/or lower prize payouts. Who knows at this point. We ...

Re: Free speech be damned --- Curt Schilling fired

This is why political discourse is so toxic. It is a 100% FACT that rapists and murderers are coming across the southern border. The evidence of this is not refutable. Countless horrific crimes have been committed by people coming across the border illegally. That is what he was talking about and t...

It was the National Education Association that gave $93 million to liberal groups and $3 million to conservatives.

Re: Free speech be damned --- Curt Schilling fired

Ya mule, Presidential historians give resounding high marks to the Reagan presidency and specifically how it unified a fractured nation. Trying to use Reagan as an example of a divisive president is funny. Historians' ratings of Reagan are good, but not great. This site rates him as the highest sin...

Re: Carlos Correa

I didn't like any hitters typically available at the 2/3 turn which caused me to downgrade kershaw. I believe the correct play out of the early slots this year was hitter/SP/SP. Agreed on both accounts. I think the 7th pick is the earliest I would have drafted Kershaw. Picking Kershaw in top-5 guar...

Re: Site Questions

I think much of the frustration comes from the fact that none of these issues are new. This is my third year of doing DC's and all of the issues mentioned have been brought up in each prior season, added to a list for IT and sent off.

Great job Glenn. I thought this league would be too tough to generate an overall champion. Needless to say, your domination of it was impressive.

Oops, I broke the strikeout record

Yesterday, I hit 1592 strikeouts for the season, eclipsing the record of 1588 (set last year by Joe Thelen). It wasn't by plan. I have a 243 K lead in my league. How did this happen? It started by drafting Kershaw, Sale, Archer, and Fiers (rounds 1, 3, 14, 15). Oh, and my (former) closers were Rodne...
