The B Squad (NFL Dynasty start-up) 12 team, PPR, $35 buy-in

Hey everyone, with draft season right around the corner a friend and I are starting up a dynasty league. Looking for active managers, preferably people who aren't in so many leagues that they'll forget about this one/not respond to trades, things like that.

Fun concept, it's based around defunct sports teams as a loose theme.

DM if interested, thank you for reading. Got a league doc to show all the scoring/misc detalis.

Men's sustainable/ethically-made boxer-briefs

Hey, I just found out my go-to stopped making the ones I always buy. It took me so long to find a company that I feel good about buying from, that makes what I thought was good quality and comfortable boxer-briefs. That was Patagonia, but I went to their store yesterday and they said they stopped making them.

So fuck them. I don't really know where to start with all this info out there, and a lot of the posts I'm seeing about this topic are 2+ years old. I'm just wondering if anyone's got good recs out there. Thanks!

Buffalo '66 (1998)

On the surface, this should've been a movie I loved. A story about two troubled people coming together and trying to figure things out. I like movies about these kind of dark people on the fringes of society.

But this movie did not work. I liked the opening, where this guy is getting out of prison (turns out it's because he's taking a fall for somebody - one misstep among many, as I thought it would've been far more interesting if he had actually commited a crime and was just telling everyone he was innocent).

The first few scenes are him just trying to find a place to take a piss. Eventually he ends up taking a leak by a tree, so already nothing makes sense because he could've just done that in the first place. There's a scene where he finds a bathroom, but is so offput by a man staring at his junk that he throws him out of the bathroom, but is so angry that he can't piss. I found that scene funny. This is a troubled guy using very problematic language, but he's so worked up and in his own head he can't even pee. I knew it was going to be a tough watch at times, but I thought the movie had potential.

I think it all falls apart at the dinner scene. He kidnaps a girl, takes her back to his parent's house and asks her to pretend to be his wife. I was still on board with the movie working out at this point, but one of two things would have to happen - he would have to have a serious redemption arc, or, it would have to be a story of him making worse and worse decisions until it inevitably leads to his own self-destruction. Given how terrible he's been, I'd argue the movie should've gone with option 2.

It doesn't do either, though. The movie simply loses momentum and the rest is just a series of things that happens. He has a monologue about a crush he had in 3rd grade at which point I was thinking WHO FUCKING CARES.

This movie has a 77 percent rating on RT, with an audience score of 88 percent. I didn't even touch on how one-dimensional the Christina Ricci character is, how we learn nothing of her backstory or why she would possibly like this guy. Or how at that big finale scene, I had completely lost all interest in whether or not this character really shot himself or not.

Overall I would give this movie like 13 percent, tops. The love story was completey unearned and really it's just a slog after the first few scenes. Not interesting, not funny, not compelling as a drama. It's just a nothing that goes on for awhile until it abruptly ends.

D.J. Moore: Boom or Bust?

Ceiling case for this guy is what we saw with Diggs going to Buffalo. People were worried about Josh Allen's deep ball accuracy back then, and Diggs was a smash hit (I want to say 6th round pick).

Floor case is it working out like Amari Cooper.

Pros: He's 29, so for a redraft should still be in his prime. Upgrade at QB. You have to wonder if touchdown regression will finally come for James Cook, although everyone said that last year and he kept scoring at a high rate. Sometime, though, you'd think that would swing back.

And most of all, there's no WR1 on a team that needs one. The Bills gave up a lot to add this guy to the roster. Unless you think Keon Coleman is taking that next step to become the dude, it should be all set for DJ Moore.

Cons: run-heavy offense and Josh Allen for the last few years has been fine spreading the ball around to a bunch of different WRs and two TEs. If the Bills are continuing to win games this way, there won't be a reason to consolidate targets. Also, he simply hasn't been good for fantasy in quite some time.

I think Moore is one of the more interesting swings this year. If he hits, he could be a league winner. I guess the question to ask is, is it worth the cost if he busts considering where he's drafted and what you have to pass on to take him?
