I've honestly never heard of the breed. He's beautiful.

We've been looking to get a dog. My wife is set on a Golden Retriever, and I don't mind, but I've always had a thing for Huskies. They do not do well in Florida though. We bought one years ago, but he wasn't vetted properly and was very sick. He had a disease and passed 10 days after we brought him home. We were all devastated. My kids took it hard. He collapsed on a walk with my stepson and I think he's scarred a bit from it.

This was our boy: Ozzy.

Oh that's horrible to hear. Sorry that happened.

Akitas can be a tough breed, if I remember correctly, but once you're on their good side it's amazing. I don't think they'd do too well in Florida either though.

Thanks, it was really tough. The store we bought it from essentially told us tough shit. We paid a lot for him too. We were going to sue, but any lawyer we talked to said it'd cost us triple in legal fees. So, we had seen a local news affiliate had ongoing stories about similar things this company did. So, we reached out to them to tell our story, and they aired it. And wouldn't you know the company called us and within the week we had our refund.

Thing is, it couldn't replace the hurt or the dog. He was awesome.

Yeah he looked like one to me. My neighbors growing up had one and he was a good dog. Had a lot of issues as he got older though, so I hope your dude stays happy and healthy.
Yeah definitely something we are keeping an eye on. Unfortunately with their size it'a relatively common that they have hip and knee issues as they get older but hopefully that can be avoided for as long as possible.

If we go long term with this, we could make things worth it, like keeper league or dynasty or something like that, but if we stay redraft i agree.
Eh, I'm not a fan of dynasty and keepers. But I would love to keep this going.

We can either do reverse order of finish, or roll it into something else like what my other league does. In that one the draft order is determined by finish in the march madness pool.

I'm down for anything. I play in two paid leagues. One I'm commish in (Keeper) and one is a Harry Potter themed Dynasty. This is a free league, so I'm happy for it to be redraft with fun little things like draft order.

Maybe we can just do like a draft lottery where reverse finish picks their spot in the draft? I dunno, we can talk about it though.

We did that as well in that same league I mentioned. We also did other crazy things like we all took the wonderlic test and drafted in best score to worst.

Definitely a lot of fun things you can do in the off-season.

Although apparently according to ESPN, I have a 3% chance of making the playoffs but who knows what black magic fuckery is needed for that.

My playoff scenario is much simpler.

I need to win out, if Cole loses twice I'm in. If he loses one and I score more than him to finish the year I'm in.

I need to win out, one of the 8-4 teams loses twice and I outscore that team (easiest is Spiner since I'm already head and am beating him this week).

If you can squeak in that would be quite the comeback.
