I love their cover of this song.  It's a favorite of mine.

Cool. I always enjoyed it, too. timschochet likes to bring up how much people hated their cover and that it was laughed at; all I remember was that most people dug it. I like it better than Simon and Garfunkel's, actually. 

 

[Northern Voice]

Maniacal moves:

Added: Frank Gore - RB - Buffalo

Dropped: Mecole Hardman - WR - KC

Song:

More Ladytron from 2005, the year Gore was drafted. Sugar

My turn to add Gore because for some reason Yahoo let me put Gordon on IR. 

Lorde - Glory and Gore.

Lorde - Glory and Gore. 

That makes two Lorde songs in the mix. I've been listening to Pure Heroine the past thirty or so hours and it's just so fantastic. 

 

[Northern Voice]

I thought last year we had more than 1 IR spot - any objections to me bumping it up a couple?

No objection, but we only had one. I tried to use it and was rejected.

Hmm, it's possible I'm confusing leagues. 

 

[rockaction]

Hmm, it's possible I'm confusing leagues. 

Yep, if you go back and look at the original Summerpalooza, I'm almost positive you'll find it's one spot. And this year, it likely just renewed the settings for the league from last year unless you did it manually.

But like I said, I have absolutely no objection to more than that. 

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

We only had one IR spot, and I couldn't put Bell on it.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

I can't figure out who I'm playing.  Could everyone add their team name to the player list in the spreadsheet, please?

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

I am Exhuming McCaffrey. 

Best of luck! 

 

[Ilov80s]

My opponents use of Duke Johnson and Devin Singletary sure looks a lot better now than it did a week ago. GL to everyone tonight as we kickoff the season!

I just thought of this thread and it was bumped. Amazing, isn't it, how the teams got better or worse? Mine looks worse. Hey, Shady, good to meet you! All my teams stink. It's funny.

[Mrs. Rannous]

I am Exhuming McCaffrey. 

Best of luck! 

Right back at ya!

 

[Eephus]

How long do I have to decide on Antonio Brown? 

To prolong the agony, the Raiders have the late Monday night game

 

[Doug B]

To prolong the agony, the Raiders have the late Monday night game

As long as the team doesn't suspend him for Week 1 (what are they waiting on?), I can use him. Right now ... Brown is on my bench.

I'm OK with whatever ... just make a decision already, Oakland.

 

[Eephus]

Yeah, it's a cliche but still

 

[Northern Voice]

I'm pretty sure I posted something similar last year but this sport can be absolutely terrible to watch.

MItch done killed your vibe?

Tonight was awful. I am now projected ahead of you and your greatness.

That is all. 

 

[simey]

How long do I have to decide on Antonio Brown? 

I think you should just not play him. By the way, all of my players have drank a special potion  to cast off any voodoo spells you might try and inflict on them. 

 

[rockaction]

We wouldn't be seen dead here in the day/ I guess you're lucky that it's dark now/ And if I like it, then we'll stay/ Impress the empress, take a shot now 

 

[JZilla]

I almost drafted Marquise Hollywood Brown, but instead went with baby Chark.. just need to remember what the song was going to be..

 

[Doug B]

I think you should just not play him. By the way, all of my players have drank a special potion  to cast off any voodoo spells you might try and inflict on them. 

Moved him on and off my roster four times since Thursday afternoon. He’s off now.

Didnt foresee the Patriots signing him at all, but I’ll take it.

Steely McBeam must be downcast.

I think you should go ahead and put him in your lineup. It will make him feel a part of your team. You know how sensitive he is.   

 

[Ilov80s]

Dropped Geronimo Allison and added

Rashard "Hollywood"Higgins 

Hollywood is Bleeding by Post Malone

[JZilla]

Brown on the block! Chark on the blark!  Sell sell sell

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

"All those penalties offset."

You hardly ever hear that.  Can you get another penalty after you've been ejected?

 

[Northern Voice]

Was that Myles Jack?

 

[Northern Voice]

We get points for turnovers right? Josh Allen would go 1.01

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Was that Myles Jack?

Oh, yeah.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

This is going to be the best season ever.  Football on the TV and hummingbirds in the yard.  Excellent.

 

[rockaction]

Eephus ran into zilla today. Oooooof. 

 

[JZilla]

Eephus ran into zilla today. Oooooof. 

Hell yeah, eat it Eyeballs!

Dropped Geronimo Allison and added

Rashard "Hollywood"Higgins 

Hollywood is Bleeding by Post Malone

BRILLIANT move!!

 

[rockaction]

I owe a bunch of picks for roster moves.

I think I owe for: Preston Williams, Demaryius Thomas, Dare from Tampa Bay, and Houston DEF. 

Will get caught up in a bit. 

 

[rockaction]

Songs:

Preston Williams - Star 18 - The Hold Steady

Number 18 for the Dolphins

Demaryius Thomas - Indian Giver - The Ramones

Born in 1987, Indian Giver appeared as a B-Side that year

Dare Ogunbowale - I Dare You - Kaiser Chiefs

or, for Spotify's sake (dang it) - I Dare You - The xx

or, even better... Truth Or Dare - N.E.R.D. ft. Kelis and Pusha T

Should be self-explanatory

Houston - Defense - Sittin' Sidewayz - Paul Wall

Paul Wall and dem Houston grillz. Or even better, this one, one of my favorites ever...yes, I love Kanye's ability to tell a story, actually.

Drive Slow - Kanye West ft. Paul Wall

Will add to the list in a second or two...

Added.

I almost drafted Marquise Hollywood Brown, but instead went with baby Chark.. just need to remember what the song was going to be..

I don't know, I forget now. 

Not sure if anyone gave it a thought but my songs were all by artists who played the Download Festival this year, which I was lucky enough to attend.. I'm fairly happy with how it came together and I'm going to keep trying to take bands from this pool but I've used just about all the good ones 

So for now I'm looking at a lot of reaches like these here beaches..

The Beaches - Late Show

Sorry for all the heavy #### in the master playlist!    More to come 

spotify playlist for team download 

Any other playlists out there that were themed besides the Bowie one?

 

[Eephus]

Are FAAB waivers on Tuesdays or Wednesdays?

 

[simey]

Any other playlists out there that were themed besides the Bowie one?

All of my songs have the city in the title of where my player I drafted plays (in the NFL).

 

[rockaction]

Are FAAB waivers on Tuesdays or Wednesdays?

Wow. That's a good question. I think they run on Wednesday A.M., meaning late Tuesday night, really. You should get a night between the Monday night games and your decision to bid. That's more of a question for NV.  

 

[Eephus]

Eephus ran into zilla today. Oooooof. 

Hell yeah, eat it Eyeballs!

I'm playing this season under protest.  I should be playing Marco's schedule due to the commissioner's error when originally entering teams.

ETA:  Officially

 

[Ilov80s]

Rough start to football for me: Michigan looks meh, the Lions look like the Lions and I am going to be the lowest scoring team in both my fantasy leagues. Look like I will lose here by 0.5. 

 

[Ilov80s]

Wow pulled that out of my ###

 

[Eephus]

Wow pulled that out of my ###

 

[rockaction]

I don't know why, but this gag gets me every time, no matter the context. But especially here.
