Wouldn't be a big deal if I'm watching them live, but I usually watch the later games the day after because of the time difference to Finland.

That would be a pain in the ass.

My wife just heard today that her work money based league is going ahead. They are usually set up well before now, but that means, once again, she's drafting in her room and I'm drafting in mine at the same time Monday night in our B&G league. You can't bring down fantasy football. Us nerds are not controlled by politics.

LOL!

Nobody said it was going down. Just a cut in participation by 20-30% which is what people in the industry are saying so don't shoot the messenger.

Next year probably back up but the NFL will have to stop attacking police and military. They themselves are not 100% perfect with hunt, rae caruth, Ingram's Dad, Sharper. Maybe just don't beat your fist demanding other organizations to be perfect when they themselves have a lot of deuchebaggery every single year. More than just about any sport.

Yup. My response was more directed toward the other one.

Well you luck to you and your much much better half. I hope she wins.

I hope we both win. Different leagues this year. And you are correct, my much much better half. She's a feisty redhead and keeps me on my toes after 32 years. Married up for sure.

Surprisingly we usually have to replace two or three in a normal year. The biggest issue is concerning dues and payouts and how that would be handled if the season is cut short. For some it simply isn't worth the hassle, I suppose.

By the way, my username comes from an old fantasy site called FantasyAsylum.com. We moved to a new site and the username Guido was already taken so I added Asylum to the front to differentiate.

Guido, telling me that you are in 300 fantasy leagues is a non-sequitur to the point I made. There is no reason for "uncertainty" surrounding fantasy football. You don't have to leave your house to play it. And if you sign up, and the season somehow gets canceled, nothing is lost.

You are unilaterally deciding that the reason participation is down is because of uncertainty. I'm calling BS. Because that IS BS. You don't even have to believe that the drop is due to politics. But don't tell me it's because of coronavirus. That's absurd.

	If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
