Just venting. Yeah, I do my own research, but this was beyond the pale. (Been in an IDP league for 15 years, btw.)

Okay, so I am in a short bench league and have both Roquan Smith and Patrick Queen on my roster. No way am I dropping Roquan, so I need to cover for him (not happy about dropping Queen, but it was a good ride). So, I went to Rest of Season rankings and sitting at the second spot of the...

LoL. Not likely.  After it being the last song at every High School dance* and all of the overplay on the radio, I just burned out with Stairway to Heaven many, many years ago.  Oh, on it's own merits, it is a great song, and I would never change the radio station when it comes on, but I have...

Sorry.  Trying to rush in my list before the deadline.  Didn't read the rules.  Invited late to the game.  Feel free to disregard my list!  

I guess that makes it my #1 song? 🙃

Here you go.  Some of the rankings are pretty random.  Take them all as plus or minus 5.  And there are probably lots left off... 1.       Communication Breakdown 2.       Over the Hills and Far Away 3.       Black Dog 4.       Whole Lotta Love (the 20 seconds starting at 3:03 may be the...

Ah.  Pop meaning post Peter Green then. The "White Album" (aka Fleetwood Mac 1975) and Rumours would definitely be my wife's favorites.  So, pop.  Back in the day I guess she would have been a Top-40 fan and now she is "just" retro, lol.  Whereas I would have been quickly changing the station...

There is a "Pop" version of Communication Breakdown?  Please post a link! I am talking about the version on their first album.  If that's pop music then I will have to rethink a great deal of my musical prejudices!

Yeah.  Ten team league.  Many years ago I tried to get the league to go for playoff spots decided completely by points on the year.  We had some folks threatening to quit, so I proposed that we go with record for the top two seeds, points for the third and fourth.  It has worked really well...

Oh.  I'm in!  😀 It'll take me a bit, but I'll get it in by New Years (holidays, moving my dad into assisted living, starting a new job on January 4th ... and in my league's playoffs, btw :p) But here's a teaser:  Communication Breakdown will be in my top five, probably my favorite. PS - My...

League Rules?  If I turn in a full lineup, with players that were not on the injury list a week ago, please prove my intent to tank. I simply don't see a way that league rules are going to prevent this.  I would say, "Well, he played last week, how was I to know?" "You should have paid more...

I will come back to this thread and read it start to finish -to do it justice- when I have the time.  I'm not the greatest concert goer, but I have been to 6 U2 concerts, including back-to-back nights.  Which were totally different, but awesome experiences.  The first night Bono came within 15...

Dealing with a bit of this in my league and have been for years.  I think 15 years ago we introduced a system where the 1st, 2nd and 3rd highest scores for the week win $20, $10 and $5 and the 3 lowest scores for the week lose the equivalent.  Yeah, not high stakes, but still the idea was to...

Wow. This is our 32nd year in Sid's Vicious Fantasy Football League.  10 Teams, all friends.  I would never tank just to get a victory and neither would they.  I guess there are friends and there are "friends".

To that I would add, how are you doing in your league?  If you are comfortably positioned to make the playoffs (up to you to decide that) then go with Knox.  If you are looking for someone to give you points right now, go with Freiermuth, since Knox may not play this week. Personally, I'm...
