    Haha I was wondering where you've been.  We are actually thinking of moving the league to sleeper app. I think it's more user friendly for dynasty league.  Just need everyone to sign up. You and @diesel_3 I think are last ones left. 
     

    https://sleeper.app/i/jZPnGlO2bX98

    All signed up.

     

    can you shoot me the Slack link too? Got a new phone so I can't access the Slack channel anymore (unless we're not using it anymore?)

    I greatly appreciate that you looked into this!

     

    I really never considered the heel/toe strikes (which I'll have to at least take a look at now) because I never had this problem recently. As for running again after taking some time off, I had been running a lot prior to this injury. I probably overdid it when it came to the running because I was running 4 or 5 times a week for about 40 mins at a pretty decent pace.

     

    Based on what I said above - and this is before I look into the other factors of course - I think a calf strain is a lot more likely. That being said, I don't feel any sharp pain. It's a dull discomfort whenever I walk. When I do heel lifts, my calves are sore rather than painful. As I touch the achilles, it's more tender to the touch.

    I'd probably need more than just 1 week and a half of rest right?

    Would you describe it as similar to after you squat for the first time after a break, and the hamstrings are super sore to touch but it's not necessarily pain?

    I’d say if it persists go see a physio. IIRC @NucksPatsFan is a physio himself so he may be able to give you better info or might be able to recommend a physio he knows in your area. 

    @Dazzle Based on reading a few sentences on a message board and knowing nothing about your history or presentation, sounds like it could be likely 1 of 3 things.

     

    1. Heel strike or toe strike versus a mid foot strike. Have a friend or your phone film you running about 20 paces. See where you make first contact. It could be a simple biomechanical fix by adjusting your foot strike which will reduce or eliminate repetitive trauma (ie. repetitive excessive stretches) with every step to the likely tight, weak ankle stabilizers, calves and even up to the popliteus and distal TFL.

     

    2. Similar to above, but assessing the other end of the leg. Piriformis syndrome or even just piriformis tightening is very common when someone takes up running after some time off, and can change your hip positioning, which will alter your mechanics all the way down to your ankle and circling back to impairing your foot strike and ankle positioning.

     

    3. Could be as simple as calf strains (similar to how your legs hurt a lot after squatting for the first time after a break) and over time as you stay consistent with the running the tissues will be able to meet the demands. 

     

    I don't think it's anything related to compartment syndrome.

    Congrats and great pick with NIO. I remember you putting it out there that you bought it. Do/did you have stop losses on any of those? Did you ride CCIV on the way down?

    I had intraday stop losses at about 7% that didn't trigger. I expect volatility in WISH so I didn't use any as I'm happy with my position size. I have a core CCIV position with an average in the $11's in my long term retirement account with my portfolio manager, and then have traded it frequently in my Questrade. I rode a large chunk for $11 to $61, but didn't sell it all and had to sell the rest at $42 the following morning. Re-bought at $17 and sold at $28. rebought at $21 that I'm still holding but I've brought my average down to about $16 by selling weekly and monthly covered calls against the position.

    I think this thread has died because of all the crazy speculative plays that have blown up over the course of the last few months. Time to talk bout normal names that I think have great potential. I really like BABA and it's my number one holding right now, I believe we are looking at a double in the next couple years if not more. It's going to always have political overhang on the stock but it's just too damn cheap to ignore from a valuation stand point considering it's growth.

    STEM has been a beast, the $20 adds were so clutch. Same with NIO at 33. WISH is crushing it as well from $10 adds. PLTR coming back to life as well. Took UPST the other day at $120. And of course my babe CCIV.

     

    March and April sucked and that's when I think a lot of the regulars in this thread disappeared, but other than those 2 months I have secured several multi baggers. The one bag I'm still holding and waiting for it to recover however is ARVL ($18 average) 

  6. Really liked our draft.

     

    Mac Jones is a great fit for our system and in no hurry to be a day 1 starter.

     

    Barmore was the best DT available in the draft, and it was way too easy to run on us last year.

     

    Ronnie Perkins could be a steal in round 3 as his stock fell due to being suspended for the first half of the covid season. Just from what scouts are saying, as well as Sooners fans, he's got a motor that doesn't stop and can be a hybrid edge rusher who is agile enough to also do basic coverage drops.

     

     

    The rest of the picks are just depth pieces, but really love our first 2 picks, and Perkins being an intriguing prospect.

  7. My thoughts on Mac (who I predicted in early January should be the Patriots target at 15 and would be a year 1 back up) can be summed up as:

     

    Nick Saban and BB are best friends. Saban over the last 2 months during his many off the record conversations with Belichick would've told Belichick to stay away if he didn't think Jones would succeed in a similar environment in NE. 

     

    I like the pick and I like the player, and don't expect to see anything out of him until 2022 barring an injury.

    This would be awful for the Eagles lol.

     

    Justin Fields is a guy that could slide, so I'm curious to see where he ends up.

    From what I've read around online, sounds like Eagles need a stud O lineman
