Season 3 Kickoff

Legends we are days now from starting Season 3 of THE League of Legends year long Fantasy Sports and Pickem Challenge {queue old school NFL Films Fanfare song}.

We kick off season 3 with a set of 🚨🚨🚨10 BURNING HOT SUPER BOWL TAKES ðŸš¨ðŸš¨ðŸš¨. This year we have a 10 bet parlay bonus for the legends to pick all 10 Hot takes correctly. These titans of take selectors will receive 250 point bonus.

You will notice our legends list has been trimmed down a bit as we removed some of the anchor legends from the bottom of the list. You may also notice we have trimmed down the LOL game list for season 3. We will use Hot Takes (with Double Down kickers) to make up for some of the games we dropped (example NHL and NBA Playoff pickems). You may also notice that some of your old shortcuts to games may be broken. Go to the main LOL page and then use the menus to make sure you get on the correct pages: http://www.thejoestory.com/lol


Season starts Superbowl Sunday, make sure you get your Hot Takes in BEFORE 4:30PM Sunday. Also the decision was made to not count the last few weeks of NHL and NBA weeks in between seasons. Therefore NBA/NHL points will start next week as well.

Action Item: We have a new subscription feature in LOL this year. You must sign up to receive notifications, if you do not enable notifications you will not receive any notifications. In order to enable notifications follow these instructions:

1. Go to http://www.thejoestory.com/lol
2. Click the Info Link in the top right and then select the profile link.
3. First time you access you should see a button that says Enable Subscription Services...Click that
4. You should then see a list of games with switches to turn on Email and SMS notifications, select the subscriptions you wish to activate and click Save. You can double check to make sure everything is set by leaving the profile page and then coming back to see what is clicked.

If you have any trouble with that let me know. This email is long enough so I will end by saying, I am updating the scoring info page on the site to add some more details on the league scoring and such. I will send out an update when that is complete.


Good luck Legends.

Rundown 6/12/2017 - Jcomp edition

It was a big week across the athletic landscape as several sports and collegiate softball crowned champions. Nadal finished an all-time great run through the French Open, the Penguins won the Stanley Cup, and Lebron ended talk of the Warriors and an undefeated postseason. Meanwhile, Patty took the LOL season lead for all of 36 hours until TJS could finish his 100 hour work week and get back to his computer to “adjust” the scoring. We’re 12 days into the second streak month of the LOL year. I feel a bit like Bob Gibson probably felt in 69 after the whiners got their way and the rules were changed. Luckily enough we’re entering prime Cricket season which, outside of Russian Basketball, is my sweetspot. You guys better get ready for a load of Chris Gayle Hot Takes. Triple Frown We’ve seen six different horses win the six triple crown races since American Pharoah in 2015. While being a borderline sports degenerate is a necessity in the League of Legends, do any of us really care abou

Bulls and Bears

Legends I was out mowing Friday and like any normal Legend was thinking of a new contest for the league. A few months back....(just checked it was September 2014, time has flown) I created a site called ClosingBell. It was apart of the League of Legends version 2.0 (technically we are playing on LOL v 3.0). Anyway ClosingBell was a stock pickem game where you picked the price of 5 stocks daily and you pick a closing day price. If you were within +- a certain percentage of the price you set than you got points for that pick. It was a daily thing, and a little complicated. Anyway, while mowing I was thinking there should be an easier way to make a stock pickem game for the legends. Thus the idea for Bulls and Bears was born. Here is the rough idea: Before the Monday opening bell Legends will pick 2 stocks.  Bull Stock - legends will pick a stock they think will rise this week Bear Stock - legends will pick a stock they think will fall this week Friday close prices are recorded

MLS League Moving

Yahoo Fantasy MLS League is garbage. jcomp found MLSsoccer.com has a fantasy league as well. At first glance it is mile ahead of Yahoo. We are trying out the league this weekend with plans to probably move the league to MLSSoccer.com. If you want to try it out this weekend give it a go. URL: http://fantasy.mlssoccer.com/ League Code: 28046-5323 Go to Leagues, create and join enter the code. Some cool features. You can autopick the team right off the bat. Nice feature. Then you can back fill the players you want. Captain - you can assign a team captain. This player's points are doubled. I thought this was pretty cool. Anyway give it a go and get signed up. If all goes well then we will abandon the yahoo league for the new MLSSoccer.com league.
