Is there a way to bring my list of players in queue to mock drafts in Sleeper? I have done 20 mock drafts and I have placed 100 players in queue one by one many times and I am tired of doing this.

My right index finger is rough already with callous from the hardened skin caused by all of the clicking heheheheh.

A very important news update that I reckon everyone will be cheering for this because cheering might be something for you also heheheheeh.



Twelve NFL teams have announced they will have male cheerleaders for the 2025

The Minnesota Vikings, Baltimore Ravens, LA Rams, New Orleans Saints, Philadelphia Eagles, San Francisco 49ers, New England Patriots, Tennessee Titans, Indianapolis Colts, Kansas City Chiefs, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Carolina Panthers have all announced they will include male cheerleaders for the 2025 season, up from seven last season.

Read in full https://www.news.com.au/sport/nfl/no-one-asked-for-this-america-in-meltdown-as-male-cheerleaders-hit-back/news-story/9ec64646cb0cd95105cfaa59eda4a557



I will approve of this if these male cheerleaders will be the players on the field on a running kickoff vs. the other team's secondary.

Male cheerleading used to be a respectable profession.



Notice the strategic placement of the towel in the wasteband.

I'm in. How many roster slots do we get for male cheerleaders and what's the scoring system for those?

When we say we want to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, eliminating this nonsense is what we're talking about.  We don't want to see gay male cheerleaders dancing around on the sidelines pretending to be some non-disgusting creature.  Nobody asked for that...  The NFL seems destined to destroy themselves catering to liberal mental illness.  I wouldn't have thought anything could take down the NFL with the growth and excitment in the league, but go woke go broke appears to still be in full effect...

Excellent!  I've updated the post with the list.  


Still waiting to hear from wheelz1200, South Park, and seek3r.

How many slots do we get for male cheerleaders

They are only equipped with two, as opposed the normal three.  Which is rather unfortunate, the one that's missing is by far my favorite.

Hehehehe this made me remember Vitalik's famous image with an Asian girl where it appears he also needed a strategic placement of the towel.

It also appears that he would have needed an extra towel also placed strategically after the first towel hehehehe.

Meh, who TF cares. Its 2025, surely there are some gay people who enjoy the NFL in this day and age. They are not cheerleading in your home, in front of your bowl of cereal. I really doubt they'll be shown on camera unless it is with female cheerleaders also in the frame. And if they are, you'll just have to muster all your emotional strength to get over it.

Haven't male cheerleaders been around forever? Go look at the cheer competitions of high school and college athletes and you'll see males everywhere, tossing the girls in the air or holding them up with 1 hand. The only difference now is these guys are dancing, a big who cares moment if ya ask me. People might see these cheerleaders for 3 seconds at a time max on tv.

[DireWolfM14]

The cringy part about it isn't the male cheerleaders, it's the big deal the NFL makes about it.  They're breaking their arm patting themselves on the back.  Trying so hard to prove to the world that they're not a bunch of racists and bigots, they essentially expose themselves as being just that.  It reminds me of the media circus they made about Donovan McNabb making it to the Super Bowl.  McNabb was a good quarterback, and that's that.  Why the need to bring race into it, unless of course you've been accused of being a racist and want to prove otherwise.

@nutildah. I have nothing against gay people. However, the fault here is from the NFL. Are they trolling their fans? I am talking about fans who buy tickets every weekend to be in those games. Male cheerleaders are okay, however, creating a male cheerleader with skirts and pompoms? Is this the gay pride parade?

@yahoo62278. You are thinking about a different type of male cheerleader. They are the respectable types who have good strategic towel placement similar to the image @DireWolfM14 has shared. This male cheerleader that the NFL is, I am not quite certain what is their motivation for this.

In any case, @nutildah is correct. Lets us only accept and let us be happy there is another season of NFL.

IMO it's societies fault and started with participation trophies. Now we got men wanting to be women, women wanting to be men, men in womens sports, forced to learn pronouns cause someone identifies as a blah blah, kids being confused and thinking they are opposite sex and need hormone crap and more.

Yes a little rant there but all true. Can I look past it all, sure, but should I have to and would it all be happening if society never started being pussies? Ok now I think rant is over lol.

Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with the cheerleader thing, but the world has gone to shit and nothing i can do about it. I like football season and will just ignore it as it doesn't affect me since I am not at the games so I can see your point regarding those that bought tickets to games with the cheerleaders.

The Niners had male cheerleaders last year now, maybe the year before, too.  I try to go to at least one game a year, two tops.  I can't say that the cheerleaders, male or female have taken up much of my attention at games.  In fact the last time I was at a game, my brother pointed out that one of the cheerleaders was male, and if he hadn't I probably wouldn't have noticed at all.  It's really not a big deal, but people have to make a big deal about something to keep the Bread and Circus affective.

Let's just focus on the Circus, because even when you know it's just a distraction, it's a welcome one.

[Hueristic]

OK, guys we have 2 weeks left and Is everyone ok with the Saturday before kickoff for draft as usual?

DW can we get the current roster of players and the checkin status in the OP, and any changes we need to vote on?

I've been busy but reading the thread but haven't seen anything about rules changes from anyone so if anyone want to recommend a change do it now so we have at least a week for people to discuss before we put it up for a vote.

[BrokenM14]

ChiBit mentioned that wheelz is in, that makes 10 confirmed participants.  Still haven't heard from South Park or Seek3r.

As for any changes, I think we have most things buttoned up from previous years.  ChiBit suggested we remove PPFD, I suggested adding 0.2 points per sack yard, and we still need to align on the platform.

• Switch to Sleeper
• Add 0.2 points per sack yard
• Eliminate PPFD
• Eliminate kickers

Sure, this all sounds reasonable to me. It puts slightly more importance on having a good DEF. I don't mind the PPFD either way, won't miss it if its gone. And yeah we definitely need to keep the kicker, its a fantasy football tradition, and who are we to stray from tradition.



And its good to hear that Sleeper is also available on desktop. Trying to do good player research on a phone is just... nah, I can't get into it.

Pre-season-wise, its interesting to see that the Giants have gone 3-0 without any real talent to speak of. Also, the Broncos are now 6-0 in preseason games. Bo Nix will probably take the starting QB position as we go into the regular season.

Oh yeah, I forgot about his kicker comment.  I updated the list.

Pm'd.

[morvillz7z]

• Switch to Temu of fantasy - No thanks!
• Add 0.2 points per sack yard - No
• Eliminate PPFD - Keep PPFD
• Eliminate kickers - Keep kickers

Friday and Saturday work for me, busy on Sunday with multiple drafts pending.
