Last night marked the start of the NFL season and today mark's the start of Welly Maker season!
Welly Maker 8.0 is live. Help me and the amazing folks
@charitywater
deliver clean sustainable water solutions to those in need.
We will match the first $40,000 in donations, so
Only one way to improve after flag-planting six touchdowns the weekend before.
Thanks to the incredible team
@EstablishTheRun
for covering for me a bit this weekend.
This piece by
@Slate
on
@LeBatardShow
is well worth the read.
No piece of entertainment has shaped my foundation more than this show over the last 15 years. As a sports fan, as a person, etc. Seems silly at first, but the show is so damn smart
If you feel upset about all the work you put in on a DFS slate and it not mattering, perhaps you can understand how the players feel about their work trying to create systemic change.
For those having a tough day.
I've had a few holidays that were really hard & felt like I wasn't where I wanted to be.
I worked through a lot of stuff in therapy, leaned into the relationships that saw me and valued me, and I am the happiest I've ever been in my life.
So the Eagles just rolled through an entire season losing elite player after elite player due to injury with a heavy investment on o-line, d-line, analytics, and coaching schemes that leverage NCAA spread concepts
Will that be enough for other NFL orgs to learn?
Jimmy Butler didn’t look like himself after last years deep run, neither did Bam.
AD and LeBron are limping to the finish line.
But Jokic played every game this season and looks better than ever.
Incredible for a guy whose conditioning was constantly questioned.
Giants got a 4 play Tecmo Bowl offense
1. Give it to Saquon hope he takes it to the house
2. Throw it to Saquon hope he takes it to the house
3. Throw it short to Odell and hope he takes it to the house
4. Hail Marys to bad Wrs
To acquire Doug McDermott, the Bulls traded two 1st rd picks (Gary Harris and Jusuf Nurkic)
To get rid of Doug McDermott, the Bulls traded Taj Gibson and a 2nd rd pick (this landed them Cam Payne)
In acquiring 2 2nds, they have just gotten rid of Cam Payne
I imagine running a NBA front office right now is exhausting trying to figure out which 10 day guys to sign and what not, but I do imagine in each front office there is 1 crazy basketball nerd who is having the f-ing time of his/her life suggesting 30-50 players no one else knows
I don’t know who needs to hear this (code for I’m sub tweeting) but being accountable when you screw up is always a better look than blaming someone else when things go wrong
So incredibly excited to start this new chapter and build the NBA product at ETR. I'll of course contribute to our already loaded NFL product as well, with articles and shows. I am also ready to help Establish the Pun

I think a lot of the skills necessary to play DFS well are immediately transferable to life.
- Outsized benefits of being different
- Reasons to embrace risk
- How to manage funds to avoid going bust
- Dealing with disappointment
- Swapping off of things that aren't working
Having one of those really productive work weeks where I feel super grateful for what I do.
Thanks to everyone who has supported my work over the years!
Hit the match goal yesterday so up to $50,000 raised for Welly 3.0, approaching $150,000 in total over the last three years
So thankful for everyone's generosity financially and spreading the message!
I'm thankful for living life where access to clean drinkable water has never been a concern for me
Trying to make that the baseline around the globe
Year 3 of the Welly Maker is making a dent!
- $43k raised
- next 5k match at $45k
Not sure what it says about my dynasty skills that my best roster is a team I adopted because someone was thrown out of the league for extramarital affairs
but IF you know someone who is cheating on their spouse and has Mahomes, Kelce, Kamara, and Evans - I am ready to take over
It was only 6 years ago that the Bulls had
Derrick Rose - 23 years old
Luol Deng - 26
Joakim Noah - 26
Taj Gibson - 26
Jimmy Butler - 22
They went 50-16
My last 40 hours or so
- lose showdown slate on 4th string RB TD
- lose showdown slate on golden tate TD
- Parkey hits upright
- Fly home and person next to me spills drink all over me
- Bulls trade for MCW
2019 is going well
This is what Perk is talking about, when Jokic is off the floor the entire team is playing worse intentionally so he can make graphics like this. In fact, they've done it their whole careers. They shot worse for 5-7 years for this moment to stat pad.
The ball was slick after spending the night in the damp crevices of the himalayas. As I gripped the cold leather i felt the warmth of the defense closing in. I released with full confidence a duck, but not any duck a hungarian duck
It was indeed, a Peterman.
Fun Sunday in the DFS streets.
Our projections team is incredible at ETR and they put up with a lot of my questioning this week.
The Sims
@TheSolverSports
were also an integral part of the process this week. Will review with Adam tomorrow on the tournament review show.
I’m at this stage in life where impending grief feels around the corner far too frequently and the internal conflict of trying to be present while also sub consciously preparing yourself for the loss has left a lot of
@LeBatardShow
content really resonating of late.
“My wife was pregnant when my son died…watching brothers mourn a brother has been very difficult…it’s heavy sh*t.”

joins the show for an extremely emotional conversation with Dan about grieving and the loss of loved ones.❤️

@draftcheat
@Nike
do you just walk away after these tweets and wake up the next morning to see what comes in or do u pour yourself a tall boy and watch the chaos?
Why would you a trade an early 2nd round pick for 9 games and the right to negotiate a contract extension? You're one of the few teams in FA with massive $ to throw, why not just wait?
A long sweat but a fun one this week. Shout out to
@JTDPeabody
@RufusPeabody
for the projections
@ETRGolf
Great warm up for my favorite tournament of the year!
I think Miles Sanders is really good.
I think the Eagles run game should be really good.
I think he has a chance to secure a large share of the opportunity.
I think drafting him in rd5 is a poor risk-reward investment
Bought a $1500
@DKReignmakers
pack and got Jarrett Stidham, Preston Williams, Marlon Mack, Roquan Smith, and Robbie Anderson.
Quickest flush of $ I’ve ever experienced - getting some backups who are unlikely to ever be usable in the game.
Whew what a customer experience.
