We should use those sketchy cards of yours. You know, the ones with the five aces.We haven't asked a fundamental question. Will there be dice?

He does, haven't seen him in a bit but he told me he was interested when it came up@Man of Constant Sorrow You wanna play?
Too bad. Best draft last year. Best of luck with the move and sale.Sorry for the late reply. I have to bow out. Just moved and am trying to get settled/rent out the old place. Will miss it for sure.
Hurtful.I’ll watch closely and pull for simey.
I rather like this idea.Can't participate in the draft, but had an idea for y'all about the music theme.
Take the initials of the player chosen. First initial has to match the first letter of the first word in the song title. Second initial (or beyond) has to match first letter of any of the other words in the title.
Examples:
Kirk Cousins-- Karma Chameleon
Christian McCaffrey-- Call Me
George Kittle-- God Only Knows
Saquon Barkley-- Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth...
####. Now I wanna play.![]()
Thanks, GB. Right back atcha. But at the moment there just isn't time in the day for all the stuff already on my plate. This is something I'd feel bad about committing to and not spending the time requisite to make it worthwhile for not only myself but the rest of the participants.
Yes, we really draft teams and carry out the season with waivers, trades, etc. We use Yahoo. It's a superflex league, think we did ppr as well. I forget the exact line-up requirements. No buy-in, just for fun. Also I think we kept the draft going all year- if you added a player from waivers, you had to draft a song.From some earlier posts in this thread, it sounds like that the teams drafted are actually entered into an administered online fantasy league. What were the details of that last year? What league website, what buy-in, etc.? NV was the commish, sounds like?
Yep, this basically covers it. Last year Joe actually kicked in a couple FBG memberships as prizes.Yes, we really draft teams and carry out the season with waivers, trades, etc. We use Yahoo.

Not really.Did any other suggestions get much momentum?
Same.Not really.
I'd go Option C. It would make for a cooler playlist, I think.
Me three. If a link can't pass the Kevin Bacon test, it should be mocked.Same.Not really.

So ... you have to explain any non-obvious links to the house when picking, correct?
Can a link be vetoed if it's too lame and/or tenuous?![]()
I have no preference on the music theme. I'll go with the majority.Poll on music theme:
Option A - Drafted Players initials must be in Song Titles
Option B - Song from player drafted's birth year or draft year.
Option C - Wide open - Any link you like between player drafted and song.

It should be fine.I am travelling to DC today and then back home Friday evening. I can check in and quickly draft players from a cheat sheet but I may have to add songs later to keep the draft moving as some will likely require some research. I seem to remember we did that last year--still okay this season?
YesAnd same scoring as last year: 0.5 PPR, 4pt passing TD, otherwise standard?
Well it was my suggestion but I'll go with c - Im ok with any of them though.Poll on music theme:
Option A - Drafted Players initials must be in Song Titles
Option B - Song from player drafted's birth year or draft year.
Option C - Wide open - Any link you like between player drafted and song.

All those moving parts move.Can we do something with multiple options? So many years, so many names and a couple of 'wild cards' like option c?

Heya - sorry - I've been away this week. I really - really - wanted to do this, but things are keeping me super busy right now. I am afraid that I would just hold everyone up.He does, haven't seen him in a bit but he told me he was interested when it came up
How about facook? He was really happy with the thread last year.We're at 11, which is one less than ideal... @El Floppo...?
I have never rolled the dice before. What am I supposed to do? I thought you rolled for everyone. Do I just click roll the dice, and that is it?Highest roll drafts first, if people haven't rolled by noon/1, I'll do the rest.
I rolled mine so you should have an emailFor the rest: @rockaction @JZilla, @simey, @The Dreaded Marco, @Ilov80s, @Mrs. Rannous, @Dr. Octopus, @Bonzai, @Doug B, @Mr. Ected
You can roll dice for draft order here. I think I prepopulated that correctly to email to me. Just in case, 1, 1000 sided dice one time - mattnv at gmail.com
Just click the link and click roll the dice, it will do the rest including sending the emailI have never rolled the dice before. What am I supposed to do? I thought you rolled for everyone.
