I picked Larry David as producer/writer/actor/creator and all the characters he played. I can do anything with my flex, and that's how I define the pick. If it's allowed that people can pick a character he played after my pick, so be it, but my definition stands.

Why not include all the characters he cast and all the sets he created and episodes he envisioned as well? You may as well just say "I draft the entire TV series with my flex pick. Draft over."

Sounds good to me.

Tick tock....Norwood, you're up.

Really? I think you either draft him as a flex (writer/producer) or as one of his characters. Not both.

 

[pantagrapher]

I'll go on record as saying that I believe the Larry David was too open-ended to be valid.

Nice use of color there. I can live without the characters I guess, if that's the ruling, but I have to stick with producer/writer/actor/creator since those couldn't be defined in any other category.

 

[Eviloutsider]

Lots of arguements here but atleast there is some discussion. I didn't like my "I'm out" pick but I love my fusilli jerry pick.

This is the right answer. :slamsgavel:

 

[Killerclown]

I'm fine with that, but Jerry Seinfeld can not also be taken as a producer, etc.

 

[Nigel Tufnel]

I expect an extremely controversial pick from Norwood right here in a futile attempt to make a point.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I didn't like my "I'm out" pick but I love my fusilli jerry pick.

I agree with you, although it may have been a bit early for fusilli jerry.

 

[Smoo]

I'm fine with that, but Jerry Seinfeld can not also be taken as a producer, etc.

I disagree, but it's a fair compromise.

And Norwood picks ... New York City!

Don't encourage him.

Larry David was picked before Stein. The Stein pick was after.

They're both legitimate picks. Larry David was picked as a writer. George Steinbrenner is a character. Both valid.

IT'S THE SAME PERSON!

No it's not. Larry David is a writer. George Steinbrenner is a baseball owner. They have different names, personalities, everything.

Same DNA

Your tenuous grasp of reality is slipping. You do know the difference between an actor and a real person, right?

Yes. This is a SEINFELD DRAFT. Think of it as 2 universes, the Seinfeld universe and the real universe. We are drafting from the Seinfeld universe. Producers, writers, key grips, nerdy fans, whatever exist in the real universe and are inelligible. You can't draft from both universes. It's against the premise and the spirit of the draft.A SEINFELD DRAFT DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF CANNOT STAND!

But if you all want to be difficult, that's your problem.

My pick:

Independent George

It's only half of the George that was drafted earlier, but it's the far more entertaining half.

pick coming in a second...

Do you win a prize for this prognostication?

This would be a good argument if that restriction was made clear before the draft. But it wasn't. You're making assumptions.

Recognition from my peers is enough reward for me.

common sense down?

Coffee just came out of my nose.

Jackie Chiles- character

 

[Killerclown]

yep in the 2nd round things start to fall apart. The have same DNA argument does now apply.

 

[Nigel Tufnel]

And the wheels are now ... off.

 

[pantagrapher]

Can I pick television?

 

[Early_10]

"Independant George" as a flex only because it becomes an actual conversation. I'll give it to you as a "frame of mind" type pick, not as a character since George, the character is gone.FFA Norwood is kinda ~ but draft Norwood is

 

[Nigel Tufnel]

I'm taking "Seinfeld," the NBC television series next pick, if it makes it to me.

 

[Killerclown]

well I guess that works.

While it was technically a layup....

I think Independent George is a good pick. About ten rounds too early, but good nevertheless.

As a character? It's fine as a flex (concept or catchphrase).

Agreed. Although, I don't think that's how Norwood wanted it.

I still like New York as a pick.

How is that common sense? The draft was specified to be about Seinfeld the TV show, not Seinfeld the fictional universe. While the writer doesn't exist within the fictional universe, he does exist within the TV show.
