Week 10 - HISTORY LESSON + TRADE DEADLINE

 Quick update from last weeks "Feed Me Washington":



Okay moving on.


--------------------------------------


Before we get into our first segment of the blog I'd like to announce that for the first time in the history of writing these up we have an AD sponsorship. So I urge you to diligently read the AD without scrolling through it and then read it again. 

- Note: I am not getting paid for this AD; rather I get the privilege of keeping my fingers.

AD:

"Have you been hungry before?" 

Hi, my name is Dustin Ramsey, the owner of Paws Smoke n Grill. If you are hungry and want a local food truck we are the stop for you! Now lets meet the team:


Wow just wow! We've assembled a great team here. Along with that our HR director Alan can be contacted at (419)-276-0995. Also here is a link to our website: https://pawssmokengrill.com/

Note: I'd advise not complaining and only praising on google reviews.


History Lesson: Dictatorship

Note: Before I get to into the weeds in comparing Dustin to Hitler; the only thing I remember in college is writing a 15 page essay on Hitler's leadership skills which I think I have on my old laptop.

Now we are going to only focus on one of the candidates on this list which is #1 Hitler.

Rise to Power:
- Hitler: Was a true mastermind, a creative force, and had a meticulous attention to detail. Germany was in their own great depression and had no leadership. So Hitler in a whimsical and or "sprinkle of magic" type of way; thrusted himself into power on the basis of infusing the economy back to a mouthwatering metropolis-esq country. 


In Power:
- Hitler's right hand man "Heinrich Himmler" was known to be Sales Savant, a welcoming presence that would ensure this leadership would be unforgettable, and had a warm smile that would leave you craving more. Here is a picture of Heinrich:

- While Himmler was selling the vision, the real villain behind the scenes was: Josef Mengele aka "angel of death" aka "mad scientist".

We gotta take a T here. The full minute and thirty. I had just wrote maybe the most horrific paragraph in human history. Although extremely funny I could not find it in myself to publish. The whole premise of this blog is to say that Dustin/Alan went full dictator mode on two members of the league this week; one of which was me and the other Kirk. Kirk's request to me was to go "full scorched earth" on Dustin/Alan. My brain then tried to find ways to connect the dots on how to compare them to Hitler/Dictators throughout history. 

Well I found my in when I went to the ol' Paws website and read the "About us" page which I comically made and advertisement out of and screenshotted above. It you read that page and what I typed you'll see what I am doing. Like having nicknames such as "Big D" obviously translated into "Big Dictator" and then I got to Lukas's bio which would've been the last paragraph...... working with a nickname of "Mad Scientist" into expressions or sentences such as "Pitboss Extraordnaire", "fiery passion for grilling and smoking", "Armed with a keen eye for perfection", "genius that ignites"......... 

Throw in the tag line and what I would do with this logo in paint...... Let's just leave it up to imagination what I had wrote.


TLDR: A new rule that I'd like too look at next year is if your IR spots on your team are empty, would should be able to add IR players that are on waivers directly to it without impacting your actual roster. Here is my example:


Now is Allen a world beater, no. But if Breece would have blown his knee out this week I'd be pissed. Kirk had something happen very similar when trying to add Christian Kirk to his team this week also. I don't think forcing me to drop and active player, to sign one that's going on my IR, and then being requested to fill the empty bench spot makes any sense..... I guess that's a future problem. 

Note: Dustin said no to my request to add Godwin to my IR spot without dropping a player on my team . So I went to Alan to try to fix this rule/request which "shockingly" he said no also. "Their is no rule for it so we can't do it" ya okay bud you clearly have no skin in the game huh bud.

TRADE DEADLINE

Because we are at the trade deadline effective next Monday at midnight, I am keeping my cards close to my chest and won't be talking any players/teams etc. My couple hints/thoughts:

- If you are going all in, maybe look at trading next years picks + players etc. to get what you want.

- If you are tanking, look at keepers for next year that you'd want (Kirk broke this down two weeks ago about players he'd look at if you need help) and then starting selling your best players for future picks. 



Last couple note:

- Two our of four 6-3 teams lost this week. (Should have prayed Christopher). 

- Both 5-4 teams lost this week.

- Both 4-5 teams won this week. 

- Two of the 3-6 teams won while the other two lost.

Standings will look like:

7-3
7-3
6-4
6-4
5-5
5-5
5-5
5-5
4-6
4-6
3-7
3-7

That middle group is going to be a battle.
