The Rules
- Draft skills, not stats.
- Once you display a skill, you own it.
- This is not a game of precision. It is a game of human beings and tendencies.
- This is not a game of projections. It is a game of market value versus real value.
- Exercise excruciating patience.
- It is easier to be crappy than it is to be good.
- Chronically injured players never suddenly get healthy.
- Right brain dominance has a very long shelf life.
- Poor second halves don't get recognized until it's too late.
- 100% of winnings must be spent on significant others
- The two strongest forces on Earth are gravity and regression.

I've got a couple dozen autographed editions of my book that are encroaching on Opus' personal space. Only you can save the penguin. https://ronshandler.com/product/fantasy-expert-autographed-edition/

Pretty much your last chance. You know it's always so tough to figure out what to get for your ol' man. This is an easy decision.
