Did someone use 4 words when they could have used 37?

Oh, and all four other “idiots” are in this fantasy football league with a live in-person draft for the last 25 years, as well.

Start here, and skim through to the end of pg 37. Maybe 30 posts of slap-fighting.
Mod checks in at the top of page 38. Thought mod was going to go light, but no. Rock's adversary copped to telling the teacher.

There's some kids on this board you gotta watch. Just because TPF is gone doesn't mean there's not some baiters out there.

I'm not sure why, but Gabe Davis brings out the extremes in people.

Even his position coach doesn’t talk about him as much as those guys did.

It might be more than one FBG ... but there's in particular one FBG who apparently feels he has his entire board rep wrapped up in Davis' fantasy success/failure. Serious Business(TM). Rock ran into that.

Haven't finished the playlist but so far of the songs new to me I like Woke Up This Morning the best.

You had to type it out, or did it auto-fill?
What krista and I noticed was that it wouldn't auto-fill rock's username after the @ symbol.

What the #### did I just read?
Sorry, it's a rock conversation.....
Query, as I succumbed to the clicking of the bait and read with great anticipation I found myself reviewing the musings of an effort to overinflate the value of a particular receiver who sets wide and find myself wondering, on a truly metaphysical level, what, in fact, did I just peruse?

Awesome, glad you loved it. This was not the pick I was guessing, and honestly forgot about this song and band when I was compiling my list. So I guess I am to blame for killing today's playlist for people?
My guess when you made that post was a song from one of the artists I have at 13pts and 24pts.

Not sure whether that’s an alias, but it’s one of my favorite usernames I’ve seen in some time.

I'm loving the wide range of guesses here. I am sure you aren't going to tell us if one of these was even right though until we eliminate all of them.

Do you rotate the draft to each of your mothers' basements every year?
Doug B
Footballguy
FWIW, here are my guesses for the prospective one-hit wonders that will for sure have multiple songs selected:
Son Of A Preacher Man - Dusty Springfield
A Whiter Shade Of Pale - Procol Harum
Time Of The Season - The Zombies
Everybody Wants To Rule The World - Tears for Fears
Freedom '90 - George Michael
You Got Another Thing Coming - Judas Priest
Pip's Invitation
Footballguy
Understood re the Caravan song. If you attempt it again, go to the 16-minute mark, for the next-to-last section, which is a melodic ballad, then the last section featuring the instrumental crescendo, which is the best part IMO.
I also found the Coldplay song better than expected. I liked it better than their famous songs with the possible exception of "Clocks."
Your description of Oh! Camil is perfect. There's another Nash song that's kind of in the same mold (Southbound Train, which is ineligible for this countdown because it's on a duo album with David Crosby) that comes with a Dylan anecdote. Just after the song was written, Crosby and Nash happened to be staying in the same hotel as Dylan. They were so excited about this song that they knocked on the door Dylan's room and asked if they could play it for him. He let them, and then asked them to play it again after they finished, which Nash said was one of the best compliments he'd ever received in his career.

The Politics forum is gone, they have to get it out somehow, and poor Gabe Davis is in the cross-hairs.

Ironically, I don't think Rock's sparring partner was a TPF regular. Was he? I could've easily missed it. Really have clear recall of his Shark Pool contributions -- actually a knowledgeable guy, but prone to slap-fights.

I've had no issues @ing him until today. I don't think it's a coincidence.

I'll tell you that at least one of these songs is indeed the only song selected by that artist. And at least one of these songs was not selected at all.

What's your plan if the two FGBs that are tied for the MEGA contest both choose the correct ACE award winning song?I'm loving the wide range of guesses here. I am sure you aren't going to tell us if one of these was even right though until we eliminate all of them.

Now, if you're looking at the consensus picks above and saying to yourself, "Damn, I really messed up," please take heart.
At the time that I posted the contest, so around halfway through, I made a note of what the correct answers were at that moment. The only two for which I did not do this were questions #1 and #2, because I didn't feel like calculating that only to have to do it again later.
Of the 13 questions for which I did note the answer, can you guess how many consensus answers matched up correctly?
Well, I won't ask you to do that, because you guys suck at guessing. It was three. Three of 13 correct.
I do know that some shifts occurred thereafter that could lead to a better performance by the consensus picks, though I haven't gone through to match up the final correct answers yet.
