A Buy or Sell card: The regular season is too long, and everybody knows it. Swipe left to sell, right to buy.

How it works

Three taps to your first take.

1

Pick your teams

Follow a club, a league, or all six. The feed only deals the news you would actually argue about.

2

Swipe your take

Right to back it, left to doubt it, up to skip. One question per card, about one real story.

3

See the room

The split lands the moment you swipe, with the fans you follow named beneath it.

The Returns sheet: 63% say earn the pick, a split bar, a band reading Room beat the model, and a tally of 24,918 cards.

The Returns

See where the crowd landed.

Your take against thousands of other fans, the moment you swipe.

Every card keeps a tally. You get the split, where you stood in it, and whether the room beat the model's call.

Letters

Then defend it in print.

Every letter files under the call its writer made.

Replies show their hand, so you can see who is arguing against their own take. The best letters rise on the carets.

Letters: 212 replies under one story, each tagged with the take its writer marked, scored with carets in the margin.
A ranking's Returns: 41% ranked Cut the season first, with the room's order of all four options beneath.

Rankings

Put the argument in order.

Your order against the room's, first place counted.

Not everything is a yes or a no. Some cards want four things in order, some want the winner of a trade, some want a number over or under.

The deck

Nine ways to take a side.

NewsThe signing, the firing, the injury. Worth it or not.
Buy or sellThe hot start, the slump, the rookie. Real or noise?
TradeBoth sides laid out, gets and gives up. Pick the winner.
RankingFour names, one order, settled by the crowd.
Roster debateTwo names, one spot. No fence to sit on.
Over or underA number on the board. Does the season clear it?
ScoreCall the final before kickoff, locked in on the record.
TriviaOne question, four answers. The only card you can get wrong.
Legacy tierWhere a career lands when it is finished.

The Wire

Your take gets answered.

Replies, mentions and new followers, on one wire.

When someone challenges your call, backs it, or names you in a letter, it lands here. Follow the fans worth arguing with.

The Wire: replies, a new follower, a mention and an up-vote on your letter, with four unread.
The Credential: a badge for @baselinedan, classified True Believer, with its reverse behind it showing three honors and a record of 1,204 takes.

The Credential

Your fandom, on the record.

Classification, honors and record. Earned card by card.

Every take is saved and dated. Over a season that says more about you than a bio would, and it is not always flattering.

Go on then. Pick a side.

Free on iPhone. It takes about nine seconds to have an opinion on the record.
