In the Footnote League I am merely the reporter / Commish.

For this one I am trying something completely different, setting lineups, depth charts and strategy for team and players then just letting the game sim out a week at a time in the background. Sure does reduce the game-by-game stress levels!

BTW that handle of yours is the best. Any story behind it?
Those are unique challenges with each. Haha yes, that is a good stress relief approach with this one. What happens the previous week is just done and there is no reason to worry.

The nickname of "Human Rain Delay" was given to Mike Hargrove during his playing days. While hitting, he would annoy hurlers between pitches by stepping out of the batter's box and spending inordinate amounts of time messing with his batting helmet, shirt, batting gloves, cleats, etc. This author walks readers through Hargrove's comical routine: https://www.businessinsider.com/the-human-rain-delay-mike-hargrove-used-to-drive-opposing-pitchers-insane-video-2013-7

Keep up the good content.
