Hype man has woken from his slumber. Harrison is going to draft another team with an average age of 26 but it won’t make the cut!

Shots fired! It’s time to build my own core of guys:)

Singular my aim is tight

I wanted to write a post before the draft as kind of an ode to Pat Kavanagh, and how brilliant I was for drafting him, but then I looked at the 2020 draft. Holy smokes there were so many great players drafted that year. The "hit rate" in the 1st round is well above 50%. Not only that, there were some really great picks in later rounds, including Jake Taylor in the 2nd round by Maddog, Evan James in the 3rd, Payton Cormier!!! and Jacob Angelus in the 4th, Adam Poitras, Jake Stevens and Mike Tobin in the 5th and Ross Scott in the 6th round!!!! I'm glad I got two good ones that year or else I'd be a little embarrassed.

With so many graduations and players moving on after 2024, this season looks up for grabs in actual NCAA lacrosse. I think we may see some of that in our league too. Get your draft boards ready, because it'll be a fun draft!

Math is for suckers! We liberal arts son! Thinking men.

My man Taleb drives it home without me getting into Iatrogenics and the study of doctors allocation of learned knowledge.

Excerpt: (NNM is a mic dropper with a vast array of metaphysical metaphors w multiple PhDs)

I want to remove the harm from these economic models. And the Nobel is not helping. They should be held partly responsible, if not largely responsible, for the crisis," Taleb told Reuters by telephone.

The first of the Nobel awards will be announced next Monday, with the economics prize due a week later on Oct 11.

According to Taleb, there are a number of mistaken ideas about forecasting and measuring risk, which all contribute to events like the 2008 global crisis. The Nobel prize, he says, has given them a stamp of approval, allowing them to propagate.

Taleb is a former trader who took advantage of the mispricing of derivatives to make his fortune in the years before the crisis. He published "The Black Swan" in 2007 and went on to make millions more during the upheaval.

He rattles off a list of Nobel prize winners who make his blood boil. They include: Harry Markowitz, William Sharpe, Robert Merton, Myron Scholes, Robert Engle, Franco Modigliani and Merton Miller -- a virtual "Who's Who" of the economic world.

Merton and Scholes, for instance, were recognized for their work in valuing derivatives. Modigliani and Miller are known for a theory which some have argued promotes financing by debt.

Taleb attacks their works for how they are constructed and what they lead to. "There is no world in which these ideas can work mathematically," he said.

Forecasting methods, which he discusses in detail in his book, create a false sense of security or, worse, send people in the wrong direction. Universities then compound the problem by teaching these Nobel-approved ideas as orthodoxy.

We have others but recall FFG Jr brings back C Kav, Sam King and Colin Kurdyla. A good base fo sho. That’s ten pts a game or more right there.

And I am reigning HMOY (hype man of the year). Note how I pissed and moaned about trying to push Poitras to attack because I knew in my heart it was a hill to
Die on. Who wins Midfielder do the year?

Signed,

Hype Man GOAT

I like BU and Michigan. The 4th Att and Mid are interesting and I'd be in favor.

Looking at the rosters, I see a big year for CalLaxDad, FFGJr, Lax1, NC Lax.

Sam king and c Kav will put up a combined 80yrs this fantasy season if not more.

Jr was saying the other day “man I had guys from every team we saw in Philadelphia last may!” This is fun for him and me. Just have better games and don’t sell the walking street tacos for $20 that made the hype man throw up.

Hello, everyone. I am prepared this year to use more than my hype man to win. I have been waiting all year for this.

Signature enjoy get this guys

You have 17th overall pick. I'm curious what direction you'll go.

Dawg we’ve got Sam king and Chris Kavanaugh returning at attack their is irrelevant

Hype man has a elegant idea that is in no way talking his familial legacy book that's running game on this joint.

Hype man has a sugggestion that is too sensical NOT to adopt.

One team included in draft is selected by reigning champ.

I mean yeah this obviously means Jr will be addding teams for a while, but thats more of competion incapable of stepping up to the big boy usurper field of play. Could be worse, you could have Doc B for the kids. Jr at least will graft it up for sycophants who will sell out their morals.

Blah blah blah blah...
