I expect another year of mediocrity.

teddykgb · Feb 1, 2016

I hope to at least be mediocre this time. Last season was an abomination.

cshea will probably win because Spieth is just that good but IMO he really left the door open with a lot of wild card and low ceiling picks. Not trying to talk shit, just an instant reaction that will probably be wrong.

Want to let me win back the money you took from me two years ago?

Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat · Feb 1, 2016

Don't forget DOTB's last round pick

What was that bet again?

$100 for full year results. And an additional $50 for just the 4 Majors. You're holding my $150.

FL4WL3SS · Feb 1, 2016

That $150 was spent a long time ago!

I'm open to the same bet, let's do it.

FL4WL3SS · Feb 1, 2016

Although your team is really good this year... Can I get some odds?

You certainly can. Even money.

It's a bet.

FL4WL3SS · Feb 1, 2016

I'm at least a 2-1 underdog... I'm willing to shave that down to 1.5-1 underdog.

FL4WL3SS · Feb 1, 2016

How about this... I'll give you even money on the points standings bet and take 1.5-1 on the majors bet.

I have zero major potential on my team.

Deathofthebambino · Feb 1, 2016

I disagree about CShea's team. I think he's fucking stacked. I would be the happiest fantasy golf player of all time if I was able to put that team together. In this format, Spieth/Woodland/Horschel/Deleat is an awesome foursome, and toss in Westwood/Kaymer/Cabrera for the Majors. Man, that seems like it could be tough for the rest of us.

As far as my team goes, I fucking hate every single pick except for the last one. Just like every year, I look back at my team after the draft and think to myself "Self, what the fuck were you doing?" I was so back and forth between Bubba and DJ this year. All I could think about were those blown major opportunities by DJ, and the thought it would get into his head that I just couldn't pull the trigger on him. Oh well. I'll send along my donation again.

You'll get nothing and like it. All I'm trying to do is get my money back from two years ago.

ezemerson · Feb 1, 2016

can i talk smack about my own team? in all the years we have done this, my team this year is by far the one i hate the most after the draft....went with similar draft strategies as in years past but just feel like the caliber of golfers i got were sub-par....hoping for some late round magic by some young guys like a win from a 7th round guy last year

All I'm trying to do is keep winning!

I'll take both bets, you're on. I hope Adam Scott is as shitty for your team as he was for mine last year.

Don't worry. I'm getting all of my good weeks behind me before our season starts. Three in a row.
Good luck. I hope you suck.

Vegas Sox Fan · Feb 1, 2016

Bummer, the tablilizer seems to be gone so I can't post my full power rankings but it's probably better. My spreadsheet likes The Four Peters on the strength of his Carl Petterrson pick so it's clearly broken.

EZ - you and I have had similar drafting strategies from the beginning and I feel the exact same way about my team. I feel like this draft has really evolved a lot over the past few years and some steals that used to be around in the 4th-6th round are now seen as solid picks in the 2nd or 3rd round.

I also still would love to get a day out on the course with anyone local in the eastern Massachusetts area this summer, getting 12-16+ of us for a round would be a good time.

Ben An is my secret weapon.

Agree to both sentences....and with these warmer days maybe the start of the season is closer than we think...knock on wood.....also just bought a new driver (taylormade sldr s) and want to use it

Average Reds · Feb 1, 2016

So this is the trash talk thread, right?

Two words: Jim Furyk.

cshea · Feb 1, 2016

Since we're finished drafting, anyone up for counting Phoenix this week? Maybe just count points towards the year long standings?

Edit: It is a non-Spieth week...

Only if we count the past 3 weeks too.

cshea · Feb 1, 2016

You've used up all your wins for the year already.

Victory!

I won the power rankings last season. It's a curse I tell you.

No shit. 1st, solo 2nd, T6 this week.
Winner last week.
Lost in a playoff the week before.
Fuck me.

Leon Trotsky · Feb 1, 2016

I'm up for counting next week. Or go head to head for 5 bucks or something?

bostonbeerbelly · Feb 1, 2016

In for a $5 side bet on this week. Keep the regular season points the same.

Leon Trotsky · Feb 1, 2016

Okay, I am in on the $5 dollar side bet.

If we could coordinate it around memorial day, I'm in. I'll be in town that weekend.

Average Reds · Feb 1, 2016

With half of my team taking the week off, I will pass on the $5 side bet.

FL4WL3SS · Feb 1, 2016

I have 8 guys going this week, I'm in.

BigMike · Feb 2, 2016

I am in, I only have 4 guys going this week, but it's 5 bucks, and nothing would be worse than have my guy win, and be out

Went with huge gamble guys this yeam. Tons of upside (I think), but at the same time I could end up with only 2 or 3 guys making the Fedex cup on the downside

ezemerson · Feb 2, 2016

i got 7 playing and the guy who isnt was my 8th pick so im in

AirborneSas · Feb 2, 2016

I'm in. My 1st and 8th round guys aren't playing.

FL4WL3SS · Feb 3, 2016

Dollars sent.
