What fun is that? Just say no to AI. I already got it, pretty simple.

To each his own. AI is just a tool, and as a whole better at things like that than people are.

I like to use my brain rather than push the EASY button. Like you said, to each his own.

The conceptualizing of it to me is the thinking part. Copy pasting formulas into cells is the trivial part Im happy to pass on to AI.

I like the satisfaction of conceptualizing something and then making it work.

Fun time. I enjoyed watching my chosen teams fight for it. Great competition by all.

What does it show? Under NIL you can go get 22-25 year old Semi-Pro players and beat up on 18 yr old college kids. WINNING.

This disparity should level out (more-so) as the top 25 will all get their hired guns in order soon enough?

I didn't realize that the starting 5 players for Michigan were ALL portal transfers!

Me either when they got bounced from the Big10 TMT and before I made my picks LOL! in my FULL pool I missed MICH. I had ALA beating them. ALA did score 88 but MICH 109? ALA looked like little kids to those Adults LOL!

I didn't watch Mich at all but they were very strong physically at every position. When they packed the paint against Az it looked like the Cats were driving into brick walls all game long.
