Summerpalooza: Now at QB for the Buffalo Bills...Goo Goo Dolls

[Eephus 17,530]

Summerpaloozan Fantasy Football Music Draft

 

DRAFT SHEET

SPOTIFY PLAYLIST

 

This will be a 20 round Combined fantasy football and music draft. With Eephus in for FF and Chaos Commish bowing out, this leaves Hov34 out in the cold as he was the lone remaining music only drafter, sorry GB.

When you select your player, you will select your song at the same time per the rules below (essentially a musician who lives or started their career within 160km from the FF player drafted's pro or college team).

As of now, we are going with a 14 team head to head league. Hopefully with it being a slow live draft, we can be fairly patient and accommodate JZilla's busy week, since without him, we are uneven numbers:

-----------MUSIC RULES--------------------
 When you draft a pretend football player you must also pick a song (album?) performed by an artist (solo or band) who can trace origins to either:

    The player's NFL city. -OR-
    His college (within a 100 mile radius)

So if you picked Kevin Durant, you'd also need to pick a song by a performer from Oakland or within 100 miles of Austin.

Lineage can be traced from being born there, or beginning their career there so Joe Strummer would be eligible for either Ankara or London.  We'll use Wikipedia as the authoritative source.

I haven't followed the NFL for about five years so I have no idea if these rules will even work.  

The fine print:

I'm more a Packer fan than a football fan these days so we'll give them territorial rights to Milwaukee.

NFL team representation is by their named city e.g. New York, San Francisco rather than E. Rutherford or Santa Clara

Teams named after states or regions get their home city, not the entire state, e.g. Boston, Nashville

In the summertime when the weather is hot...you got drafting, you got drafting on your mind....

[Eephus 17,530]

I almost forgot the most important rule.

That damned Kid Rock song is blacklisted.  You know the one.

I'm proud to say I don't. 

Yeah! 

Anyway, totally in for a summer-themed draft. I hope to roll 1.01 so I can take my favorite summer song.

Don’t even have to read it. I’m in. 

[Ilov80s 21,894]

I’m in favor of pre-60and 2000s bring split but nbd if people find that too much work for a chill summer list 

[El Floppo 23,644]

Summer twist.

She was something.

I'll be gone from June 23-29. I'll make up whatever I miss during that time.

[AcerFC 4,031]

[Sabertooth 5,870]

Summer Nights - Van Halen or pretty much any other song on the 5150 album.

If that was a reason to not do something, we wouldn't have The Dark Knight or Gatti-Ward 3.

If we did, I think the thread's been purged.  I tried searching and came up empty.

I think the old surf rock playlist I made was in a summer draft but this is A PALOOOOZAH! 

 

[Eephus 17,530]

Eras:   60s, 70s, 80s, 90s are IN

Question 1:  include pre-1960 as a separate category or roll it in with 60s?

Question 2:  21st century in its entirety or split between 2000-09 and 2010-18?

Split 

[drpill 159]

I vote for 1) pre-60s as its own category, and 2) split the 21st century.

[Chaos Commish 2,921]

Separate pre 60

Split the last 18 years

Think of more possible rounds

[Eephus 17,530]

I did a couple of simulation rolls with two 7-sided dice.  It took 15 and 18 rounds for the last number to come up for the third time. 

I think the theoretical minimum is between 10 and 11 rounds and the maximum is 50 as it is for all Palooza variants.

This game has a lot of commercials.

[krista4 14,292]

In, on perma-auto-skip.

[Mister CIA 6,928]

Pass the beer.

[El Floppo 23,644]

You can't fool me. I know their ain't no sanity clause.

[Eephus 17,530]

I'm sorry but I'm going to put Summerpalooza back in the cooler until next month.  The World Cup is coming up and I don't want to ghost on my own draft.

If we start after July 4th, the groups and round of 16 will be finished and the calendar less cluttered.  If someone else wants to run this thing, I'll play along but good commissioneering takes more commitment than I'm prepared to offer right now.

Hey diddle-diddle, there's a fella in the middle
And I think he's pulling my string
My wife's lactating and I'm spectating
It's a football thing

[Chaos Commish 2,921]

Ah man. There is no World Cup without Italy.

I've missed the last three or four music drafts.

I need this with the NBA done.

For Eeph.

That song is gonna be stuck in my head for weeks now. Thanks for nothing, @Chaos Commish

[dal_boys_phan 752]

Willing to play seeing that the CCrows were not blacklisted 

[Dr. Octopus 11,086]

If we’re starting on 7/4 now I need to back out. Will be in Vietnam between 6/30-7/14. 

Next time....

Summer dreams ripped at the seams/but oh, those summer nights...

[Chaos Commish 2,921]

Summer's just beginning, baby
I might learn to hate you, lady
One weekend you're acting crazy
I might have to hate you, baby
This ain't what I thought it would be
This is the saddest summer ever
The saddest summer ever

I’m personally going to be busy until after the 9th. Folk festival with the family. Nice lineup this year — Courtney Barnett, Real Estate, Julien Baker, Waxahatchee. How about we delay it a little more?
