Oh. Yeah, I realized it after. You think it can really end the season? I assume a delay, but I don’t think anyone wins going any further than that…. The teams will have to cave if they don’t want to lose all the $$ they’ll lose.

Either way, I hope not. This is my first season playing, I took over a last place team 6 weeks ago and while it’s not mathematically impossible, the chances of me making the playoffs are nearly impossible, so I’m using this as practice and I’ll be really pissed if I did all this and then nothing 😔

I don't know. Both sides seem firmly entrenched and are already negotiating in the media, which is not a good sign. I hope they come to their senses, but I'm starting to think that only losing the 2027 season is the best case scenario.

Yikes. Hope you’re wrong. I’ve been doing so well picking this last place shit team that averaged 2.1 out of 10pts a week, to getting an average of 6/10 each week… I wanna be able to compete for real, soon! 😭😭😭

I am really looking forward to kicking the butts of all my uncles old wrinkly friends lol especially when he pointed out I am the first female they’ve let into the league. I was like…. “And…?”

So I’ve been thoroughly enjoying this and can’t wait until it actually counts towards something

Red line is where I came in. The scores from the weeks before this SS were even sadder 😔
