If anyone is interested in joining a NFL and college football picking league, for fun/no cost, send me a dm with your email address. I will send you an invitation to join the group.

Is that one league with both NFL and college, or two with NFL or college?

One league each.

Longing for the day when credit is given for successfully stearing the economy through a very difficult time
'A series of economic data supported a solid economy, easing fears that perhaps the Federal Reserve is cutting rates aggressively because of the economy slowing.
Weekly jobless claims fell more than expected, pointing to a steady labor market. Durable goods orders for August were unchanged versus economists’ expectations for a decline. And the final reading of second-quarter GDP was unrevised at a strong 3%.
“If there’s a problem in the labor market, it’s not showing up in the weekly jobless claims data. As is always the case, though, the monthly jobs report will play a bigger role in defining market sentiment,” aid Chris Larkin, managing director of trading and investing for E-Trade from Morgan Stanley. “But until there’s evidence to the contrary, numbers like this will likely keep soft-landing hopes alive and well.”

Certainly giving credit to the data has been rewarding the bulls. And skepticism is healthy for stocks -- keeps the market climbing a wall of worry.

Anyone interested in joining a group to pick against the spread for the upcoming NFL and college football season?

Anyone interested in joining a low key, auto draft, fantasy football league?

Let me know and I'll send you the sign up information.

I'm in for the NFL. Thanks!

Maybe this year I will do better since last year I didn't realize until several weeks into the season, it was using the point spread - unlike our Survivor pool.

This is amazing to me, that people don't believe we landed on the moon. Next question should be, is the earth flat. C'mon man!

What's more amazing is the Apollo Guidance Computer had 64KB of memory running on a 0.043 MHz single core processor.

That was disheartening. As was the one asking if the 2020 election was stolen/legitimate.

Thanks. Almost never go to the home page. Focused on the Forum. I'll try to remember to look once in a while.
