"RE: Bye rules
We have a 20-team league, so the scarcity is a serious issue. Even scaling back the number of keepers from 8 to 6 (and only one developmental instead of 2) to improve the draft, there are very limited opportunities to pick up starting…"

I never miss Chicago Bears football, however, and have found a good online streaming substitute for the weeks when…"

GDS: Congrats to Butler
The Butler Bounty Hunters came back on the final day to defeat the Fairport Lally Gaggers, 5-4. All told, it was a successful first season of GDS fantasy baseball, and I appreciate everyone who participated.I'm writing up a summary article for the GD blog and would like some final thoughts from owners and their next-generation franchise partners. I've mined some of the comments from the discussion boards, but it would be great if you could solicit a quote from your offspring about what worked,…See More
Kevin Makice replied to Steve Henry's discussion 'Claim a GeekDad Sports (GDS) Fantasy Football Franchise' in the project GeekDad Fantasy Football League"Looks like the draft ran. As Bears and Colts fans, color us pleased with the results"
Kevin Makice replied to Steve Henry's discussion 'Claim a GeekDad Sports (GDS) Fantasy Football Franchise' in the project GeekDad Fantasy Football League"I recommend sending your rankings (customized or default) through a Mock Draft or two to see how it will turn out.
I hope this is the case for all of their drafts, but it looks like the auto-pick will fill your lineup needs first and then return to…"
Kevin Makice replied to Steve Henry's discussion 'Claim a GeekDad Sports (GDS) Fantasy Football Franchise' in the project GeekDad Fantasy Football League"Do we know the draft order yet? Our strategy for the rankings may change based on where B-Town picks."
Kevin Makice replied to Steve Henry's discussion 'Assignment #1 - Team Name, Logo, and Sign up on Yahoo Fantasy League' in the project GeekDad Fantasy Football League"After MUCH deliberation, the Makice clan has arrived at Bloomington— sorry, "B-Town" Basilisks. Logo to follow.
Attempts at Whoifying our franchise without moving us to Detroit were rebuffed. "
Kevin Makice replied to Steve Henry's discussion 'GeekDad Fantasy Football League - which online site and scoring system' in the project GeekDad Fantasy Football League"Yes, that last point is an important one. We had a number of Superbowl games distorted by Marv Levy benching Buffalo players. Bill Polian took that strategy to the Colts and even messed up some second-to-last-week games, too."
Kevin Makice replied to Steve Henry's discussion 'GeekDad Fantasy Football League - which online site and scoring system' in the project GeekDad Fantasy Football League"Definitely head to head play, as it allows teams/owners to focus on a much smaller group of new players each week and resets the competitive clock every Sunday (or Thursday, as is the case this year). Even an 0-12 team can still win week 13.
I have…"
Kevin Makice replied to Steve Henry's discussion 'Claim a GeekDad Sports (GDS) Fantasy Football Franchise' in the project GeekDad Fantasy Football League"Glad this is getting off the ground. Archie (and maybe 1-2 other junior Makices) and I will commit to a franchise."
Kevin Makice commented on Paul Brown's blog post 'Paternity Leave Diary: Week 5 - Generation Game'"Excellent choice of name for your son. My 8-year-old is named Archie, too."
Kevin Makice replied to Steve Henry's discussion 'Fantasy Football or Pickem League?' in the project GeekDad Fantasy Baseball League"I was just thinking this today. For many reasons, fantasy football is the easiest of the sports to get kids to understand and track, and I know I'd have some interested co-owners for this. This is the time to start prepping for drafts and…"

Kevin Makice replied to Kevin Makice's discussion '2012 GDS Draft' in the project GeekDad Fantasy Baseball League"It depends on what the red dots mean. If you click on them, up near the top of the page you'll see a new panel with week-by-week stats for that player. There will be a line in red that explains the nature of the injury, whether it's…"

One of the great things about nature is how complex systems can yield such simple little miracles. My 12-year-old showed me a trick with a termite.
Think of how much technology iteration had to go into developing a…

Kids (and parents) can learn about the geeky side of baseball through fantasy leagues (photo: Kevin Makice)
In the summer of 1985, I met a media professor from Indiana State while at at a two-week camp in Terre Haute on film, radio and television. He told me about a game his colleagues had…
