Is anyone here a true sicko? I found this handy dandy spreadsheet to keep track of your Dynasty. It works really well if you download it as an Excel file. The only real issue I found is that the logo VLOOKUP doesn't work(you'll have to make sure the pictures are in the cell, not placed over the cell). That's a pretty easy fix for a document that will keep track of your entire College Football Career through 2054. I haven't played enough to know how this years record keeping compares to last years game, but I found last years game lacking. This is the exact type of thing that I wish the game had, but I'm enough of a crazy person to keep up with all of this shit myself. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GB3uXjuPBqnslh2968WLOhVvm2f9ENyBGjZQ9UCEB08/edit?usp=sharing

The Dame thing makes sense for everyone involved. His family kinda fell apart based on the trade. His wife filed for divorce and asked for sole custody of the kids because he couldn't be a parent from Milwaukee. If he didn't get injured he probably would have asked for a trade. The Bucks need flexibility more than an injured Dame Lillard. They don't have any picks, so they might as well get him off of their books so they have money to sign free agents. Dame gets to go home and be a dad, the Bucks get to try to build around Giannis. No one loses in this situation.

As someone who loved The Cat's drunk country karate uncle gimmick (we really haven't explored the diversity of goofy black uncles in wrestling), I'd be all the way into him and Duggan having a feud. Hear me out. Do a series of vignettes where The Cat and Duggan are neighbors who are both having cookouts at the same time, they begin to argue about who makes the best barbecue, and after a day of drinking they start brawling. The entire angle is about two men who have too much pride to admit the other man's barbecue is just as tasty as their own. The blowoff wouldn't even be a match, it would be a barbecue cookoff at Great American Bash where the judges taste both men's barbecue and give both perfect 10s. They then look at each other, and realize they're both right, they toast a beer, and hug it out. I might shed a tear after that.

If people are interested, I think we should probably set up some ground rules. I'm looking for feedback, so if you have an idea on any of the below, go ahead and let me know. I think we should set a start date for August 1st. I don't quite know how to set up the dynasty yet, but I'm pretty sure I'll have all the info I need by the first of the month. There should probably be a schedule. I'm thinking each in-game week will take a real-time week, but I'm willing to shorten this time depending on how many people sign up and their schedules. It will allow everyone enough time to play their game and do their recruiting. I don't see any reason why we would need to extend this time, but I could be overlooking something. Let me know if you have any questions. What difficulty should we use? I don't think we should do Heisman, but we damn sure shouldn't do Freshman either. So, I'll probably take a vote for Varsity/All-American. I feel like the difficulty should make the season reflect our skills as players, but not to the point that it isn't fun for our less talented players. Should there be a star cap? For instance, we can only pick programs three stars and below? I don't like the idea of having everybody going after the Ohio State/Alabama/Georgia level teams and hoarding all the recruits from everyone else. I'd also be all for everyone picking a one star team, and allowing everyone to take better jobs until they get hired by the college football elites. Should be do a lottery and draft? Should there be a limit on how many teams per conference? One person being in a conference with one user and another being in a conference with 8 users would destroy competitive balance, awards, etc. I'm open to making custom conferences to enforce the limit. I don't think we should limit custom playbooks, I personally think half the fun of the game is changing my playbook to fit my team. We can vote on this. We will have to figure out how to schedule user-vs-user games, especially once the playoff/bowl games start. If you agree to a time, you'll be held to it. Once a user-vs-user game starts it is official. We can't have people getting "disconnected" after an injury or during a blow out. Does anyone have any opinion about spamming plays? I don't know if there is a way to limit this in the options, but I'm all for limiting exploits. There are 32 slots, if you have any friends outside the board who want to play, I'd like to fill up the entire dynasty if possible.

Wait, what?!?!? I don't think any of the things you said here. I'm not saying it's smart to be irresponsible with your money, I just can see how someone who takes an 87% pay cut can fuck around and find themselves with financial issues. I feel like we act like moving cross country is cheap and easy. If you live in expensive ass Los Angeles and have Los Angeles bills, a $15 million dollar salary is probably great, but if you move to Milwaukee and have to pay both L.A. and Milwaukee bills on a $2 million dollar salary, you might struggle. I just saw that he's currently in the second divorce preceding with the same woman. The first divorce he was filed after Beasley started dating Larsa Pippen during his marriage, but they reconciled. You know what, forget everything I said, he's probably dumb as hell. Because of how the salary cap works and how you can't trade expensive assets for cheap assets. So, if you want Kevin Durant, you can't trade a mid-level exception for him. You have to put together a package of players who make a relatively similar salary. Most of the time, you will have to mix and match a bunch of pieces to not gut your entire team for one player.

OK, there is kind of an explanation for how he fucked his money up this quickly. All of these issues seem to have started when he got to Milwaukee when he went from almost $16 million a year to $2 million dollars a year. He was a poor fit for the Lakers, his numbers dropped, they declined his team option, and he had to take an 87% pay cut. I don't know what his spending habits are or if he actually has a gambling problem, but an 87% pay cut, even at that kind of money might fuck over just about anybody. For whatever it's worth, his numbers in the games with weird gambling lines don't seem to point to him tanking his effort, but who knows how many more games are in question that what has been publicized. Not saying he's guilty or innocent, but there is a lot going on with this story.

I know I'm going to regret this, but would anyone be interested in an online dynasty?

If a woman made me a drink and turned on a 90s R&B playlist before sex, I'd call that a hell of a night. I don't think I'd even want to have enough sex to be into the things described in that trial. I'm just a simple man, I suppose.

He's made $60 million and he's only 28, how the fuck do you need to borrow that kind of money? That's an insane level of irresponsible spending.

He owed over 50 grand to a barber in Milwaukee, which would be crazy on it's own, but he's never played for the Bucks and he's from Atlanta. How the hell do you get that many haircuts in a city you don't live in? As a 44-year-old black man in America, I can't see any possible way to rack up that much money in haircuts. A crazy expensive black barber might charge $200 per haircut. So, he'd have to get a fresh haircut once a week for five years straight without ever paying in a city he doesn't live in. Based on the barbers I know, I can't possibly believe that any of them would let that shit slide. A huge percentage of barbers I know are dudes who used to be in the streets and it's a legitimate job that is kind of built on the same foundation of knowing people in the neighborhood, word of mouth marketing, and getting paid in cash based purely on your ability to satisfy your clients. One thing not in this foundation, taking you to court over unpaid debts. They aren't cutting your hair for free twice. They might hook you up once, but the next time you sit in that chair, you better have their money. I really need to see the evidence the barber presented in court to get this debt resolved, because those numbers do not make any sense.

This is worse than that. In both of these cases, the women were OK with the power play and degradation in their sex. This is closer to the Darren Sharper thing where he was drugging and raping women who would have had sex with him willingly. They didn't just want to have power and degradation in their sex, that is not a crime as long as it is consensual. This is much more about what happens once consent is removed, which shouldn't be that hard, but legally we have a long way to go. The real legal question that the Diddy case seems to ask without really answering is where is the line when you consent to a level of powerlessness and degradation? This wasn't a one time thing, this seemed to be a lifestyle they lived for a number of years, where she was a active and consenting participant. The real question is how do you prove in court that you were OK with this on Tuesday, but not on Wednesday? In reality, it is whenever she says she's not OK with it, but legally that is really hard line to set.

Cassie seemed to be OK with all the sex stuff while she was willing to be in a relationship with Diddy, from what I gather all of this is about what happened once she tried to leave. I've heard multiple legal people describe this as a miscarriage of justice, which I can relate to, but I've also saw people say that legally, the prosecution didn't really prove the more serious charges in this case. The video of him beating Cassie could just be regular old domestic violence, they couldn't prove that it had anything to do with the sex circus. In order for it to be sex trafficking, they'd have to prove that he beat her specifically to keep her in the sex circus and not in an attempt to keep her in the relationship. There is no question that he hired prostitutes to join the sex circus, which he was convicted of, but how do you prove that someone who was a willing and active participant in the sex circus was forced to stay in the sex circus? Having a sex circus full of willing participants who aren't paid to be there is 100% legal

With both of them I'm amazed by how much the women consented to before they reached a point before it became a problem. This Diddy trail isn't even about whether or not there was consent. It's much more about the whether or not you can legally have a traveling sex circus on your payroll. The verdict seems to say that it's OK to have a traveling sex circus as long as you don't pay people to join. I thought they had him dead to rights on the sex trafficking, because there is literally video of him beating Cassie when she tried to leave. The sex circus stops being a sex circus when the performers want to leave and you don't let them.

I'm a live and let live type of person, and I'm definitely not someone who judges people on their bedroom habits, but the details in that case made me want to reconsider my whole stance on not judging people. I don't even want to know how some of that shit even crosses your mind, let alone spending the time, money, and influence to make these things happen. I haven't even been following the case that closely, but occasionally I'd come across a tweet or an instagram reel of someone breaking down the day in court and it was always insane. I'm not a prude in any sense and I'm all for casual sex, but I can't even imagine the complete lack of care he seemed to have for the victims in this case. Another thing that really grabbed me in this case is how little self-worth a lot of famous/well-known people have. I can't imagine anyone being able to talk me into any of this shit, but I'm also not chasing a lifestyle that is based on some sort of capitalist fantasy.

I had no idea either, but I have a hatred for anyone who treats people badly. Making kids walk for miles to get him some cheesecake on Making of the Band was enough to me to realize that I could never be a fan. If everyone who works for you ends up dead, in jail, or joining a ministry, odds are you are a piece of shit. Also, he has a much bigger role in the Biggie and Tupac beef than he's ever gotten credit for. Tupac didn't believe that Biggie set him up, he believed that Puffy and/or associates of Puffy set him up to be robbed and Biggie didn't warn him. The Death Row/Bad Boy beef started when Puffy's bodyguard killed Suge Knight's best friend at Jermaine Dupri's birthday party. So, Biggie and Tupac end up dead because they are the public faces of a beef that is some behind the scenes street shit that has much more to do with Puffy and Suge than Biggie and Tupac.
