• when I came onboard, Nova was the first to welcome me (and send condolences lol). Nova also tried to give me some “spare parts” (no pun intended) to get me up and running; really appreciated Nova!
  
  nice to get 1 win this year …
  
  again, good luck to the finalists, and happy holidays to all!

• First* and *thanks of course
  
  first win is much better than their Fred Dirst/Durst win.
  Lake Gage Lornes at Dec 19, 2023 10:58 AM
• But most importantly, far more important than the playoffs - tjanks to Bosa for an incredible recap though - is A GIGANTIC GODDAMN CONGRATULATIONS TO 13 IT IS ON THEIR DIRST WIN!! YOU DID IT! YOU BILLY BEANE OAKLAND A’S SON OF A GUN!!!!

• Playoff time, let's go!
  Love is Patient at Dec 18, 2023 11:22 PM
• I think YBB4 is a little TOO generous with the praise … but besides ‘thank you’, I will channel that energy and confidence into next year lol.
  
  and btw - I am also from Montreal. really happy to join Ott23 - lots of spirit and energy here!

• Cheers, Black & Blue! I don't recall if Niv Shah (Ottoneu founder) posts the same notes across different sports, but I know in baseball he's posted some meetups in DC. He's out there to, so from time to time Ottoneuers (term?) meet up at some place for a beverage and a little community.

• i am in a few leagues thats why i have a you but better 1, 2, 3, and 4 and i would say that this is only league that gives fun updates... thank you
  You but better 4 at Dec 18, 2023 9:01 PM
• Really appreciate the competition and the updates! Thank you for organizing the league. Black and Blue fell a little short this year, but we're looking forward to next season's draft. I'm from DC.
  Black and Blue at Dec 18, 2023 9:00 PM
• Yes they did win the Grey cup, it was a slight miracle and that's what I will need to beat a great manager in it is 13
  You but better 4 at Dec 18, 2023 8:59 PM
• Whoa! Two league members in Montreal? Randomly? That is unexpected and fun. The Ottoneu Alouettes! Didn't MTL win the Grey Cup this year?
  
  Speaking on this league, it looks like our playoff seeds are essentially set ... but I'm looking fwd to the Monday matchup on which 13 It Is has a roughly 35-pt advantage ... yet You But Better has DK Metcalf and Jalen Hurts playing tonight--if Hurts is healthy enough to play and if Metcalf can avoid getting baited into penalties and/or an ejection. 13 has put in a ton of work to reshape that team after it was abandoned right before the draft. (Too bad you didn't roster Stafford or Palmer in your SFL slot, 13! They each dropped for 18+ pts this weekend.)
  
  Allez!

• A little late on this, but like YBB4, I'm also out of Montreal.
  Nova, I've been loving the league updates! Thanks for putting this league together.

• It is only fitting that my ten-week win streak should come to an end at the hands of my cousin, Bosa Nova.
  
  Congrats, cousin!

• Really need that #2 seed so we can host it in our stadium instead of having to go travel to wherever You But Better 4 plays ;)
  Love is Patient at Dec 12, 2023 7:43 PM
• 32 pts separate them, that should read. Transposition strikes again!
  Squirrel Interrupted at Dec 12, 2023 7:20 PM
• With all the auctions posted, I get the feeling Tommy DeVito's agent would be auctioned if Ottoneu allowed it! Good luck ye playoff seekers.
  
  Week 15 is upon us. Kickin' Chickens got bonkers production from Drake London to pip Spare Parts and create a little drama for the #4 playoff seed. Spare Parts (9 - 5) is one back of Love Wins in Division B and one up on wild-card-seeking Ditka. If they finish tied on record, the tiebreaker is points, it looks like; so Spare Parts has a strong hand here...but we've seen some 50 and 60+ pt wins in the league this year. Still a lot can happen!
  
  Lake Gage (Div C winner) has likely secured the #1 seed with a 1-game and 63-pt on the next closest. I think Lake Gage has WON 10 STRAIGHT. Yikes! You But Better 4 (Div A winner) and Love Wins (Div B leader) are battling for position #2. 23 pts separates them. Love Wins has to face Black & Blue this week--who posted a robust 161 pts last week. Good luck y'all!

• Thank you and i am looking forward to the playoffs... much success to the other teams in the dog fight
  
  Thank you for organizing the pool and making it interesting
  You but better 4 at Dec 6, 2023 8:52 PM
• Congrats, You But Better 4, on taking Division A! In Division B, Love Wins and Spare Parts are knotted up. Over in C, Lake Gage has a two-game lead but Ditka, in hot pursuit, is 2 - 0 on the season against the Lornes. (Ditka and Spare Parts also tangle in Week 15.) The playoffs will welcome only 3 of the 4 of you. For the rest of us, may we play spoiler!

• Holy crap Armadillos, Browning went off! That was closer than I was expecting.
  Lake Gage Lornes at Dec 5, 2023 1:28 PM
• Thanks as always to our league’s resident historian and analyst, Bosa Nova: you give us the storylines that create all the drama!
  Lake Gage Lornes at Dec 3, 2023 10:11 PM
• I have great ideas (I tell ya! ) … are you saying I don’t have a chance?! ???
  13 it is at Dec 3, 2023 9:28 PM
• REMINDER: League winner gets to rename the league for next season! We've still got plenty of competition for playoff spots. Spare Parts and Love Wins are duking it out in their division. Love Wins is trailing his opponent late this week, but he has guys still to take the field. Similarly, You But Better 4 is a nip behind Spare Parts but has points still to come with the primetime games. If Bosa and (the Ghost Ship) Grizzlies win this week, You But Better 4 will (I believe) clinches its division. At least three teams are destined to dogfight for the fourth playoff spot. Not quite like the CFP Committee's selections, but, hey: Someone(s) will narrowly miss out! Good luck, buds.
  Squirrel Interrupted at Dec 3, 2023 6:31 PM
• Dang! That bench went wild. You guys had a great two-week toe-to-toe matchup to tighten that division. Good luck on the playoff hunt! My dawgs are clearly thinking about 2024 and golfing in the offseaon. :)
  Squirrel Interrupted at Nov 28, 2023 4:11 PM
• Lol... Yeah nothing like making bad choices! I guess no more waiting to see how a guy performs coming off of IR.
  Way to go the past two weeks Love Wins... I'm hoping for a shot of redemption in the playoffs (if we both make it ?)
  King of the North at Nov 28, 2023 11:06 AM
• Spare Parts' bench outscored 4 teams' starting lineup this week!
  Love is Patient at Nov 28, 2023 11:02 AM

• Yeah, I noticed that too this afternoon... It's unfortunate.
  King of the North at Nov 12, 2023 8:15 PM
• Worth reaching out to them for sure, but not much we can do to compel participation. I hear you though, I definitely got an easy win last week even though my team stank up the joint.
  Lake Gage Lornes at Nov 12, 2023 7:21 PM
• Have the Grizzlies been abandoned? They haven't logged in for 26 days and have been starting players who are on bye / ir for the last 3 matchups. Bit of an unfair advantage for teams scheduled to play them now as opposed to earlier in the season.

  You but better 4 at Nov 10, 2023 10:00 PM
• Ah, Chickens. It was so hard for me not to bid on Jonuu Smith ... not because I needed him but because I thought you might be bidding to fill your TE spot. I thought, "It would be magnificently diabolical to try and block you, then cut a TE too close to the game window for you to roster him...." One day I'll be more cut throat, but not today. As you were!
