Sigh.

Exactly so don’t pick kickers from offenses that struggle to move the ball and defenses that don’t give them midfield field position very often

I do think Fred is better talent than Wayne and Gore at least and also had more longevity than Kuechly, but Kuechly’s peaks looked like Brian Urlacher so he’ll get in, and Wayne and Gore both compiled like 14k yards and are just a tier above him in stats / compiling as well as both appeared in a Superbowl

And this whole section very well describes why Boswell is such a good fantasy kicker lol

Boswell the goat. Good for like two 5 fg games a year.

Randall Mentzos replied to the thread Football Chorus.fm Fantasy Football $$$ League 2025.

For kickers I’ve made the same argument every year, it’s not a crapshoot and if you think critically it’s not hard to pick a kicker who’s consistently scoring decent points - even if it is hard to predict when they’ll have that 15-20 point game that actually helps you win, the teams who know how to find the kicker who is a sure bet to score at least 8-10 are not being HURT by the kicker position and are hedging their bets, which is a legit strategy. I’ll even tell yall my strategy. Very good offensive teams that are in the red zone all the time, and very good defensive teams that often get good field position but stall in the red zone, are your two best bets situationally, and then from there you pick the kicker with the best “leg” cause even if they’re not the most accurate overall, you’ll still score more if they’re trusted to kick a lot of 50+ yarders, instead of that team being more prone to punt than kick a long one.

I think I only voted yes because we’ve been doing the same thing for however long this league has been active and this slight change might make things interesting. want to keep kicker though because it’s always funny when a kicker gets 20 points and someone loses because of it lol

Randall Mentzos replied to the thread Football Chorus.fm Fantasy Football $$$ League 2025.

This is true too. Open to y’all’s perspectives as well, just explaining mine. I personally find fantasy a bit less fun when teams are having to start more unexciting players and throw more dart throws at players who are mostly situational sub-ins and have very little rhyme or reason to which games they’ll randomly be involved in more. That feels more like the chaotic unpredictability betting on parlays you “feel good about”, and less like the “you have some semblance of control over your performance by doing research” that draws me to fantasy. Whereas when there’s enough talent that every team could feasibly have good starters in every slot as long as they stay healthy, it becomes way more competitive in that specific way. That is where I feel like our 12 team, 2WR/2RB/FLEX, 0.5 PPR situation is the perfect model for parity and actually being able to steer the ship. but this league will be fun regardless if we vote for it I’ll play along, just voicing my dissent as the one NAY vote in court lol

Randall Mentzos liked spiffa0's post in the thread Football Chorus.fm Fantasy Football $$$ League 2025.

I feel like it compensates for the fact that there aren’t 24 worthy starting RBs in fantasy so someone with a bad second starting RB can maybe make it up by hitting on that third WR since there are a lot more startable WRs in the league

Randall Mentzos replied to the thread Football Chorus.fm Fantasy Football $$$ League 2025.

Like, 3 WRs AND flex makes sense in leagues that do full PPR and extra special teams points etc, that give consistent scoring to anyone who touches the ball regularly even if those aren’t necessarily high reward touches. but not really in a league where you need at least 60 yards and a TD to be worth a damn. Just not enough guys to go around who do that more than 2-4 very random and hard to predict times a year

Randall Mentzos replied to the thread Football Chorus.fm Fantasy Football $$$ League 2025.

Don’t understand thinning out the talent pool more than it already is but I guess I’ll roll with it. I just feel like if we’re gonna make WRs more important then we should expand scoring so that role player type WRs are actually useful and not scoring 4.1, 5.9, etc and barely affecting the game. Because every team that doesn’t get super lucky with WRs staying healthy and performing as expected, will have to rely on those.

Travon Walker at 78 and Trevor Lawrence at 75, oof Ratings deserve to be downgraded a lot from last year in general for the Jags, I agree with it in honestly most our roster. We need to see our LBs, IDL, OL, RBs, every receiver/TE that isn’t BTJ, every DB that isn’t Campbell, etc step it the fuck up from last season. We are desperate for Hunter, Armstead, Milum, and Ransaw to be improvements over what was there before. And Ill admit Trevor has regressed and deserves to be bumped down to low 80s if not 80 flat till he proves otherwise. however Trevor is ranked below QBs who have had much worse performances on less dysfunctional teams haha. And Travon’s had two 10+ sack seasons in a row that’s not a 78 overall lol. I think he’s officially no longer a “project” and ball knowers can see he’s a franchise piece with a well rounded skillset, who’s already a problem for opposing OL in the pass and run, and still developing

Oh, the “hidden” (but not really, you just grind a power line and it breaks the fence) skatepark in Philly in THPS2 is a great vert spot too and that one is legit very faithful to what FDR skatepark actually looks like.

Randall Mentzos replied to the thread Football 2025-2026 NFL Season: The Patrick Improvement Plan.

Didn’t really play much of the others. I did play through THUG 1 but don’t remember it very well. Only very briefly played THPS 1 (sucks and overrated. Way more boring when you can’t use manuals to keep combos going), American Wasteland (seemed pretty cool for sure) and THPS4 (the fact Kona is in it makes me want to come back around to it) if I had to pick a vert-skating heavy map that I really like, I love Skatestreet Ventura and Marseille in THPS2. THPS2 just had the best maps overall. Tokyo is a pretty solid vert heavy map in THPS3 and Australia is a good one in THUG2

Randall Mentzos replied to the thread Football 2025-2026 NFL Season: The Patrick Improvement Plan.

More of a street skater in video games, my favorites are actually School II and New York from THPS2 Los Angeles & Canada are my fave THPS3 maps (but I also like Cruise Ship a lot) and in THUG2 they did a good job saving the best for last, Skatopia and the alien ship / Aztec ruins / Hell secret map are easily the two best. Skatopia is where I nailed my first 1 million & 2 million point combos lol

Last two tips of the night: $100 on a $356 check $220 on a $700 check notable upsells: Had two tables that were just gonna go with wine by glass but I could sense they liked wine and were just intimidated by our list. I turned what would’ve been like two $17-$20 glasses for each guest, into one table of 2 ordering two $65 half bottles (one each) and a table of 3 ordering a $190 Merlot killing it at my job even in slow season. Even when I have less guests than the other servers did I still finish with the most tips like 75% of the time
