“When I grow up I want to be a sting ray!” – Ava

Kids movies and TV shows. They are strange and bizarre. Until I had children I had not watched any animated movies with the exception of South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut. South Park is not only the best animated movie ever made, it’s also the best musical ever made. (Change my Mind Meme) I’m not sure what this says about me, but I’ve never seen Mamma Mia, and can’t recall any memorable musicals. BLAME CANADA! (They’re not even a real country anyway)

All adults before they have kids say “my kid won’t watch a movie 500 times,” or “my kids won’t have that much screen time.” LIARS. All of them. Do you want to switch the laundry? Do you want to shower? Do you want to be able to hear your own thoughts? PUT A SHOW ON FOR THE KIDS. This isn’t going to be a complaint about screen time. Although we all grew up watching copious amounts of TV, but are now critical that kids spend just as much time on iPads. There is no difference. A screen is a screen. In many ways an iPad is significantly more educational than what I watched as a child. However, watching Predator 200 times has come in handy in my adult life several times. If I get a cut, I just say “I ain’t got time to bleed.” Three people from that movie ran for Governor of a state and two won at some point in their lives. That is a fact.

But I digress. This post is about the shows and movies our kids love. Some I can stand. Some I can’t. I also wonder how many drugs were involved in the creation of these shows. Do your kids watch these shows and movies? Do you agree  or disagree?

TV

Paw Patrol
This used to be a favorite in our house. When there were only what felt like eight different episodes I wanted to die. If I had to watch the pups save farmer Yoomie’s farm one more time I was gonna break the TV. (I’ve also decided that’s how you spell YOOMIE) Now they added new characters and it’s even weirder. Everyone is fine with adults just texting this teenage boy when they need help. Then the teenager uses his magical talking dogs to save the city. Do they not have police? Who funds the Paw Patrol? How much did the Paw Patroller cost? The mayor probably has broken some sort of financial laws in order to let them build that lighthouse. I bet it cost like $5 million.

Bubble Guppies
My daughter loved this show. I finally accomplished a lifelong dream of having the entire series on my DVR. Then my daughter gave up this show. I refuse to delete any of the 85 episodes. This show has no continuity and make zero sense for why they have roads on the ground under water when everyone can swim.

PJ Mask
I was all in on this show. It was a little different and kind of fun. Then they went to the moon. Wait, What?! This was the moment I was out on the show. You know how Spider Man: Homecoming basically kept its story small and stayed in New York and DC.  That is exactly what PJ Mask did, until this season. Going to the moon took the kids from the city solving crimes and changed the show. Just like how Manifest introduced a LOST like smoke monster for ZERO reason completely out of thin air. Changing the scope of a show can be great, or hurt as it did in this case.

Puppy Dog Pals
This show has the best theme song. BINGO AND ROLLIE!!!! I’m in on this show. They just need to have more episodes.

Muppet Babies
This should be a homerun for me. I grew up watching the original Muppet Babies. However, it just doesn’t work for me. It feels very forced and the animation is meh. Plus when Kermit the frog talks I just think of Kansas City Chiefs QB Pat Mahomes speaking. HAVE YOU HEARD IT? IT IS VERY UNIQUE. HE SOUNDS LIKE KERMIT THE FROG.
Even if you don’t watch football, if I tell you a star QB sounds like Kermit the Frog you are clicking that link 100 times out of 100.

Vampirina
Love this show too. From Transylvania to Pennsylvania is the tag line and it’s perfect. They need more episodes, but it’s fun and Wanda Sykes doe a voice….and wait JAMES VAN DER BEEK DOES ONE TOO. He better say “I DON’T WANT…YOUR LIFE,” at some point or it is a missed opportunity.

Movies

Inside Out
Nothing scares my daughter like the clown from Inside Out. NOTHING. She loves the movie and when it’s clown time she asks to fast forward and comes over to us. It’s cute. I like this movie. Teaches a great lesson. Don’t lie to your parents and don’t run away from home. HA.

Toy Story Movies
I had never seen these until my son was born. For a long stretch they were his favorite. I balled at the end of Toy Story 3. Didn’t everyone? When the Toys are resigned to their fate in the incinerator, it’s very sad. However, nothing compares to Andy officially leaving his childhood and giving his toys away to Bonnie. Man. Watched this, looked at my son and thought about him leaving in the future. Water Works. Made me realize how hard it was for my parents when I went to college.

Frozen
I love this movie. I love some of the songs. It’s still not better than South Park.

Moana
We watched this a lot for a while. Now the kids are sick of it. Welcome to the club.

The Karate Kid (1984)
My wife showed this to our son this weekend. He has watched it three times and loves it.

Cars
My son was Lightning McQueen for Halloween one year. It’s an actual movie, not a kid’s movie. The notes it hits on slowing down and nostalgia are very interesting considering it was released before twitter and iPhone’s existed.

The Parent Trap
My son loves this movie as well. I had never seen it before, but Lindsay Lohan as a kid is a weird watch now. It’s like watching Heath Ledgers Joker knowing how it’s going to turn out. Yep, I’m sure you came to this blog for a Lindsay Lohan in Parent Trap is similar to Heath Ledger in the Dark Knight comparison, but here we are.

Movies and Shows my Kids hate

Harry Potter
Maybe six was too young to try this? But my son hates it. This saved me from watching an eight movie build up to see this big battle that lasted under five minutes. Even WWE knows how to script a better main event. If HHH booked the end of this series it would have been fantastic.

Ice Age Movies
Why are there so many of them? My kids will watch for a few minutes then give up. Did Ray Romano really need the money that badly? I know Dennis Leary did.

Fancy Nancy
Has this show been pulled yet? Does anyone like it?

Random Movies My son Loves and it’s Entirely My Fault

Speed
My son loved buses and trucks. So I showed him the best movie about a bus I knew. He has asked to watch this a dozen times now. At what age can I show him the Matrix?

Independence Day
When my son said he wanted to learn about Aliens I showed him this. I hope you are sensing a pattern here.

Terminator Movies
My son has watched 1-3 and Genisys. He loves robots, he loves them fighting. Come on the Terminator movies are just fun and awesome. I Watched T2 like a million times as a kid.

Titanic
Obviously, we skipped two scenes from this movie. But my son loves the regal and fancy look of the boat and how it sinks. Also, this is a fantastic movie. I can like Predator (Including the new Predator movie, which I loved from a few weeks ago) and this movie at the same time. I have diverse entertainment tastes.

Fast Five
To be fair, he has seen most of the Fast Movies. He loves the ending when they steal the bank vault. So do I son. So do I.

 

What is on your list? What shows and movies do you love that you have shared with your kids?

Not a good weekend here. DFS turned into a disaster thanks to the Mixon late news. Mixon it appeared was going to have his touches limited, which was kind of correct. Mixon played 79% of the snaps and performed very well. My original plan for the week was to jam in Mixon, Gordon and Gurley into every lineup. Then the Mixon news hit near Noon and I started to tinker and make changes. MISTAKES WERE MADE. I decided I was going to fade James Conner as I felt he would not get the touches in the passing game. Despite being a Steeler fan, I was wrong. The Steelers ran the ball the best they have all season. I moved Mixon to CMC and came off some Gurley to free up salary. The Bengals used AJ Green more in the slot and that crushed Tyler Boyd’s usage and targets. Boyd being on the outside destroyed his value. I played 100% Boyd because I believed he should be priced well over 6k on DK. MVS was great and I wish I went 100% of him.  My cash lineup ended up being my highest scoring lineup on both sites and even that did not lead to a good week. (You can view my cash game win percentages below) This is why we manage our bankroll and don’t over extend. You must be able to sustain losing weeks in GPP and cash. I do find it interesting that I have been to two Steeler games, in week 2 and week 5 and those are my only two losing weeks. I did get a major win in Pittsburgh this weekend stopping into Dancing Gnome Brewery. They only had one item for sale, a Triple IPA named ROC. I got to see my parents, go to a Steeler game with my dad, watch the Steelers win and look impressive, buy some fantastic beer, and come home to my wonderful family. Not a bad weekend besides the DFS disappointment.

I went 1-1 with my crazy teasers this weekend, which raised the winning percentage, which is funny.

My Crazy Teasers 3-7 (30%) good for -420

My selections however are going very well. I had the Steelers who won easily. I had the Browns who won outright. Then there is the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins were up 17-0 getting six points late in the third quarter. HOW DID THEY NOT COVER? What’s that? Two turnovers that the Bengals brought back for scores in SEVEN minutes of game time. Oh that makes sense. When it was 17-0 Dolphins I was already counting my money. Despite that awful loss, I am killing it after five weeks. 10-4-1!

My Picks 10-4-1 (71.42%).

 The Undertaker (GONG) total of the week came in easily thanks to Bill O’Brien trying to get fired in Houston. That was an awful game. Falling asleep on the couch watching the fourth quarter is might have been the best decision I made on Sunday.

Week Three DFS Stacks
Disclaimer***
When you are stacking you must ALWAYS play a QB with a WR from their team and run it back with a player from the opposing team. All the data says that is the optimal way to play, even if it doesn’t work every week. The goal here is to give ourselves the best opportunity for a big GPP score. I am not playing to cash, I am playing with win GPP’s.

Draft Kings
Dalton/Boyd / No Dolphins
Ryan/Julio/Vance/Switzer
Ben/Julio/Vance Switzer
Bortles/Westbrook/Hill
TBD – Waiting on that Packers WR news.

ADMIRAL AKBAR PLAY OF THE DAY – JAMES CONNER

Fan Duel
Bortles/Westbrook/Hill
Dalton/Boyd/(No Dolphins)
Ryan/Julio/JUJU/Vance/Switzer
BEN/JUJU/Julio/Vance/Switzer
Wilson/Baldwin/Gurley

Pending any news this is my plan. It could change if anything else comes out between now and lock.

Some value is going to pop this week based on injury news. If the Packers have some wide receivers out Marques Valdez Scantling will be in play at 3.3K on draft kings. AS a friend said to me, “I’m ready for all the Valdez puns and memes.” I agree especially if he pops and we play him. To me this week has lots of very obvious plays (Mixon) and some fantastic GPP plays. I am completely prepared to run a full fade in DFS on James Conner. His price is too high for me on DK, despite the game and situation. I can’t pay 7.5k for his limited touches. I want to play the other Steelers “RB.” Who is that? Just wait.

 

(Just a reminder that cash games are all head-to-heads, 50/50’s and double ups. Tourney’s or GPP’s are events with larger prize pools and different payouts the higher you score. I normally make one cash lineup and several GPP lineups every week) The player pool below is for the main Draft Kings and Fan Duel slate. Thursday, Sunday night and Monday night are not a part of their main slate.

Current Player Pool

QB
Andy Dalton- He is in play every week.
Matt Ryan – All the Falcons this week. I think I write this every week.
Blake Bortles – This will be weather dependent.
Ben – He will smash and win a slate at some point.
Matt Stafford – At home, and high game total. YES.
Kirk Cousins – Eagles pass defense is now bad.

 

RB
Alvin Kamara – Wait? He’s not on the main slate? Can I play him anyway?
Melvin Gordon – LOCK HIM IN.
Joe MIxon – So we are gonna play Bengals RB every week,
Todd Gurley – I know the price is high, but he is a lock for 25+ points.
CMC – He smashes every week. He’s 500 more than Conner.
Devonte Freeman – Price is pretty nice.
TY Yeldon – Weather?
Corey Grant – Fantastic GPP play. They will have to score tons. 3.7K
Where is the Steelers other RB?

WR
JULIO – Julio Eruption spot. (Has to happen, I keep saying this)
Calvin Ridley – He has to regress in terms of touchdowns soon right?
Tyler Boyd – Too cheap for role he has. When is he going to have his price raised a ton? Play him.
Dede Westbrook – Someone has to catch passes from Bortles.
AB – This is my issue. I know JUJU is a better play, but I can’t quit you AB.
JUJU – Play him.
Mohamed Sanu – Safe, and targets are consistent.
Ryan Switzer- Steelers have been using him as a RB. Falcons give up the most receptions to RB’s. HE is the STONE COLD MINIMUM.
Doug Baldwin- Will have to score to stay with the Rams.
Tyler Locket – I like them both.
Marvin Jones – He will end up being chalky based upon price.
Kenny Golladay – Detroit will score.
Adam Theilan – Eagles pass defense is now bad.

Tight End
Zach Ertz – Eagles no.1 option.
Austin Hooper –Still very cheap.
Vance – HE IS STILL TOO CHEAP.
Nick Vanette – Super cheap and now the starter.

This is where I am currently. I’ll post my stacks on Sunday to give a clear picture of who I am really backing. Did I miss anyone?

 

*Also more words will be coming on what Fan Duel is doing to change their basketball product. Dropping the lowest score is insane and takes some of the skill away. BRING BACK LATE SWAP!!!

My crazy teaser play of the day involves the New England Patriots. It feels like a good spot to take the Colts, but they have so many injuries. I think the game is a stay away for the most part. However, I would like to throw in another wild teaser. Yes, my crazy teasers are 2-6 (25%) good for -420. This week we get into the positive!

I don’t want to steal the name parent corner from Bill Simmons, so I am sticking with calling this blog #Dadlife. Maybe I should call it “Hashtag Dad Life.” Every Wednesday will be #Dadlife Wednesday at Wintheweekends.com. Week one we tackled the second shift. Week two we tackled bed time insanity. Week three we are going to discuss daycare. Much like picking a cable provider, your options are limited, especially after you cut the cord.

I thought having a second mortgage through student loan payments was fun (It’s not), then came the third mortgage payment. DAYCARE. (Also not fun, but at least there isn’t interest) Before you have a kid everyone says it is expensive and of course parents would pay anything to make sure their child is safe, secure, and well cared for. Doesn’t make writing the check every month any less traumatic. I don’t recall having this extra money every month before having a kid. What did I spend it on happy hours and going out with my wife?

The one thing no one discusses about daycare is the constant sickness. My daughter was home with me all summer. Not one cold. Not one illness. Not even one runny nose. Three days back in daycare and boom, green runny snot everywhere. Does that sound gross? Good, because it was. IT WAS THREE DAYS. We couldn’t even make it one entire week without a sickness. Of course, putting 50+ kids in one large building or confined space is bound to cause issues. Still, it’s a good thing parents have sick days to use to stay home. Would it be weird for kids to decontaminate themselves when they leave daycare? You know like in a sci-fi movie when they say you have to shower and get clean. Why can’t they just pour hand sanitizer over them and then leave? Is that wrong? Probably. I keep hand sanitizer in the car and as soon as I pick up my children both have to clean their hands. It’s the least I can do, well it’s the only thing I can do. (At least until my daycare shower decontamination business takes off)

Packing my kid’s lunches is so tedious and difficult. I feel like they eat the same five things, because they are kids and only like five things. Then we have to consider the daycare rules. Last year they were not allowed to make a mac and cheese cup. WE HAD TO PRECOOK IT. Apparently, the 3:30 it took to make a mac and cheese cup was too long, but the one minute to reheat it was fine. They must save so much time not making those. My kids also only eat the toddler food groups (Yogurt, fruit, chicken, snacks, mac and cheese, pasta, snacks, gum, muffins, cookies, pizza, snacks, and did I mention snacks.) Feeding kids is the fun that never ends.

My Kids Monday: I LOVE TACOS.
My Kids Tuesday: WE HATE HAMBURGERS.
Me: It’s basically the same.
MY Kids Wednesday: MEATBALLS ARE SO GOOD.
ME: (Surprised man GIF that used to be super popular on twitter.)
MY Kids Thursday: WE HATE TACOS.
ME: (Slowly becoming the emotion anger from the movie Inside Out.)

Before my daughter got moved to her new room we had to provide THREE WATER SIPPY CUPS A DAY. No, I didn’t write the wrong number. Again, the time they save not filling up the kid’s drinks must be astounding. I bet they use it to sanitize all the rooms and keep the kids from getting sick. Perhaps they spend the time wiping all the kids noses because they are all sick. Do we the parents say or do anything? Nope, we have no choice. This is part of the daycare deal.

Every single parent who has had their child in daycare can relate to some or all of this. The weird rules, the strange food and snack policy, spending tuition money they used to spend on craft beer, a trunk club, and a FabFitFun subscription. However, it doesn’t matter. Parents just have to pay until kids are in school…oh wait then you have to pay for before or after school care.

Week four was very good for me.

Every single lineup I made on both sites cashed. (I run all of my lineups in the Milly Maker on each site) My cash games were very strong as well. No major scores, but solid production and made a very nice return on investment. If one or two things breaks slightly, a massive week is close. Last week, playing Ridley over Julio would have been the difference. This week a friend suggested Taylor Gabriel and I dismissed the play as too thin. WELP. As I said cash games were very good. Adam Levitan discussed in his Monday article how he played Barkley over Gordon at his flex. Oddly, I had the exact same lineup as him in cash except I played Gordon over Barkley. That was a 13-point difference and why I won all my cash games.

The computer algorithm had another good day going 7-5-2 with the Chiefs tonight. The season long record now sits at 35-24-3 (59.32%). While we did not have any Platinum plays, Premium plays went 3-1 moving the season record to 6-4 (60%).

My personal wagers went 1-1, thanks Big Ben. Season record now sits at 8-3-1 (72.72%).

My crazy teasers went down again, 2-6 (25%) -420

The Undertaker total of the day lost and The Dead Man is 1-1 (50%).

 

Monday-Thursday Slate
This is a very strange slate coming up tonight. The Colts are injured and now travel on the road for s short week. It seems TY Hilton will be out due to timing alone. Nyheim Hines though seems to have grabbed control as the passing down back for the Colts and he is very cheap in this slate. I realize Marlon Mack could come back, or they could rest him Thursday and then give him another ten more days to get healthy. Tonight seems to be a spot where Denver offers tremendous value. Everyone scores on the Chiefs and the price is right for Case Keenum. My advice is to stack up Keenum with Sanders and/or Thomas. Load up at WR and play some cheap RB’s. I see only two defenses in play, Denver and New England. Hopefully, that gives you a nice baseline to try and win some money on this short slate.

Wagers
CINN +4
Atlanta’s defense keeps getting worse and they are still getting respect in terms of the line. Obviously, I like the Bengals today.

PITT -3
Primetime/Home Ben Roethlisberger. They kill at home on primetime.

I don’t really like too much else. One of the best pieces of advice is don’t force it. Just because there are games doesn’t mean you have to bet. I know that can be hard, but bankroll management and discipline is very important.

I really hope that Calvin Ridley is not the Admiral Akbar play of the day. Since there is so little value, there really isn’t anyone that feels like a trap. Maybe Sony Michel, but I am not playing him. My core is going to be Boyd/Shepard/Gordon/Gio and I am going to rotate other players in and around them.

Fan Duel
Dalton/Boyd/Julio
Dalton/Boyd/Julio
Eli/Shepard/Kamara
Ryan/Ridley/Boyd
Dalton/Boyd/Ridley

Dalton is still too cheap on both major sites, as is Tyler Boyd. Boyd will be over 6k next week. I have Gio locked in every lineup. I like the Julio bounce back spot, but the cheap play of the day may be Tyler Eifert who is way too cheap on FD. I am all over the Colts on both sites for my cheap defensive play.

Pending any news this is my plan. It could change if anything else comes out between now and lock.

By week four most of the value has been sucked out of players unless there is an injury. This week there hasn’t been any major injury that has created value except for Joe Mixon. Yes, this injury happened weeks ago, but Gio Bernard is too cheap for his role and how the game against the Falcons is shaping up. The total has already been bet up three points. The Falcons are on a historic pace for completions given up to RB’s. Not only is Gio going to be in my player pool, he is a cash game lock.

Not only did I hit all three wagers last night, but my Monday-Thursday DFS slate was very successful. I said to take Vikings players and I ran it back with Rams WR’s. It wasn’t looking good after Monday, but the Vikings did their job and it paid off for me. If Cousins takes the Vikings down and hits Diggs for a TD to tie the game I could have won several GPP’s. All you can do is keep putting yourself in good positions and hope for the best. All my entries finished inside the top 150 of every GPP I was in.

Since the Vikings +7.5 was good I am now 7-2-1 good for 77.77%. I also hit my Vikings and over tease taking my crazy teaser record to 2-5 (-320) for 28.57%.

AS always please read Evan Silva’s weekly game reports.

(Just a reminder that cash games are all head-to-heads, 50/50’s and double ups. Tourney’s or GPP’s are events with larger prize pools and different payouts the higher you score. I normally make one cash lineup and several GPP lineups every week) The player pool below is for the main Draft Kings and Fan Duel slate. Thursday, Sunday night and Monday night are not a part of their main slate.

Current Player Pool

QB
Andy Dalton- I am going to have so much Dalton this week.
Matt Ryan – All the Falcons this week too.
Eli Manning – They will need to score to stay with the Saints.
Drew Brees – Always on the short list.
Phillip Rivers – If Keenan Allen sits I have more intrest.

 

RB
Alvin Kamara – If he is not in consideration you are doing it wrong.
Melvin Gordon – Great spot.
Gio Bernard – See above.
Tevin Coleman – Sneaky GPP play.
Saquan Barkley – Will catch lots of passes, better suited for DK.

WR
JULIO – Julio Eruption spot. (Has to happen)
Michael Thomas – Look at how many targets he gets.
Calvin Ridley – ALL the points.
Keenan Allen – SF is not good.
Will Fuller – Can now be called safe for cash. Weird.
Tyler Boyd – Too cheap for role he has. (Said this last week and it’s still true)
Sterling Shepard – All in here, especially with no Evan Engrahm.
OBJ – Yep, need to score.
AJ Green – Sneaky Comeback play.
Mike Williams – If Allen is out, or maybe even if not.
Antonio Calloway – He is the minimum on FD.

Tight End
Greg Kittle – KITTLE DEATH TRAIN REMAINS.
Zach Ertz – Eagles no.1 option.
Austin Hooper –Still very cheap.
Eric Ebron – He sucks, but opportunity is there.
Trey Burton – Every TE has killed the Bucs.
David Njoku – Baker’s going to change that offense.

This is where I am currently. I’ll post my stacks on Sunday to give a clear picture of who I am really backing. Did I miss anyone?

The week four computer algorithm picks are in! We have zero platinum plays this week. However, we do have a few premium picks. I really like the Vikings and so does the computer. But, why is the line different? The computer picks are based on the Hilton/Westgate Super contest of handicapping. This is the $1500 buy in contest that features the best handicappers in the world. Those spreads are set and lock into place. I am in a contest that follows the same rules and spreads and I encourage others to try one. Select five games a week against the spread, two points are awarded for a win and one for a tie. The contest ends after week seventeen. I have been in one since I was ten years old, which is completely normal.

I just saw the Vikings at +7.5 and I am jumping on board. This is a perfect spot. The public will be on the Rams. Everyone saw the Vikings get killed by the Bills last week. The Rams defense is dinged up and points will be scored.

My Picks Record 6-2-1 75%

Crazy Teasers
I am staying with tonight’s game and love the over as well. I’m going to do a 7 point -120 tease and take the Vikings to +14.5 and the total to 42 and go OVER. *When I say -120 that means you have to bet $120 to win $100.
