Summerpalooza III: FFA Music/Fantasy Football Draft - Congrats League Champ Pip's Invitation (1 Viewer)

[rockaction]

Hopefully Doug checks in soon, because I have to leave by 10:30, and I'll be gone for about 2.5  to 3 hours.

You can PM me your pick if you'd like. Just send your first choice and then second most desired football guy and song. He can't pick both.

16. Benches are a bit smaller to encourage more add/drops and therefore more song picks in season. 

 

[rockaction]

Patrick Mahomes, QB, Kansas City

Song: Buddy Holly - Heartbeat (Holly was born in Lubbock. Mahomes went to school in Lubbock.)

eta* I had this all picked out down to this very song our first year, and Dr. Octopus sniped me. This was back when Mahomes was an unknown entity. He went on to throw for fifty TDs that year. Oof.

Are the songs just going in collective playlist?  We supposed to be doing a flowing individual playlist?

Collective playlist is good, if you want to try to do a shtick/theme, feel free but it will be pretty tough with the geographic limitations.

I'm not sure I'm going to worry about putting the youtube links in the google doc. We have the playlist and if you want to post a youtube with your pick for those who don't go straight to spotify, that's cool too, just one less thing to stay on top of. 

 

[rockaction]

YouTube is down on my end or I'd link Mr. Holly for the world to hear. Love that song. 

 

[Doug B]

Youtube's not down for me, but videos are playing at limited resolution. Wonder what's up?

Dunno. Mine's just spinning around and around, but it does that at times when I have too many screens up. I'll just edit the post later.

Heartbeat

Youtube is fine up here in the great white north

 

[facook]

Catching up, then will pick.  Give me a minute.

You guys have it pretty good up there these days. Especially Toronto and Edmonton. A+ stuff so far from the NHL.

 

[facook]

1.5  Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Dallas Cowboys

Michael McDonald - I Keep Forgettin'

Both from the St. Louis area.

 

[facook]

@KarmaPolice  You're up holmes.

Yeah, I'm shocked how well the NHL bubble has worked, hopefully they continue to have the same success.

 

[KarmaPolice]

I have 0 clue what is going on.  So this where I draft for music, and not for players since I know zip about football, right??

1.06:  ALVIN KAMARA - RB,     born in Atlanta

SONG:  OUTKAST - SpottieOttieDopaliscious

Sorry. I had no idea this started. Give me about an hour. On the beach right now.

 

[Raging weasel]

I have a pick for Raging Weasel who is on deck.

I'm here and changing my pick unless the Dr picks my guy

 

[Dr. Octopus]

So that I don’t hold things up just give me QB Dak Prescott. I’ll add a song later.

Also tomorrow is my in person long running league’s draft so not sure if there’s a clock but I will not be checking in at all.

 

[Raging weasel]

I just drafted that in our Desert Island theme draft. It was sampled in "Bootylicious" by Destiny's Child. Nice pull.

1.09 Derek Henry

EDIT: Greg and Duane Allman, born in Nashville Tenn, DH plays in Nashville Tenn: Midnight Rider

[simey]

1.09 Derek Henry

played ball at Alabama, birthplace of Jason Isbell, last of my kind from the album the Nashville Sound, also home of the Tennessee Titans DH's current team...

         Isbell's hometown is not within 100 miles of Tuscaloosa or 100 miles of Nashville. Henry was born in Florida, so that won't work either. 

When you draft a football player you must also pick a song performed by an artist (solo or band) who can trace origins to either:

The player's NFL city. -OR-

His College -OR-

His place of birth

WITHIN 100 MILES of any of the above is fine

 

[mphtrilogy]

         Isbell's hometown is not within 100 miles of Tuscaloosa or 100 miles of Nashville. Henry was born in Florida, so that won't work either. 

oh didn't see the mileage limit, let me rethink, carry on, but I'll stick take Henry

 

[simey]

The mileage thing is what can make it hard. 

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

The mileage thing is what can make it hard. 

Can and will.

 

[mphtrilogy]

Let's make it easy,

Greg and Duane Allman, born in Nashville Tenn, DH plays in Nashville Tenn: Midnight Rider

1.07 Dak Prescott - QB Cowboys

Life By the Drop - Stevie Ray Vaughn

Life By the Drop 

Tavon Austin still in town?

1.03 - Christian McCaffrey, RB, CAR

And It's Still Alright - Nathaniel Rateliff (Denver is 26 miles from Castle Rock where McCaffrey was born)

Cool song.  Never heard it, I like it a lot.  This is the kind of stuff I'll never be able to post.  I'm just not up on most modern music, and certainly not the stuff that is not super mainstream.  Oh well, shall do my best!

 

[KarmaPolice]

That's what I get for not being able to think of any QBs this am. 

 

[Ilov80s]

Will post in 10 mins

 

[rockaction]

That's what I get for not being able to think of any QBs this am. 

According to Fantasy Pros VBD score, you picked the exact right guy, so there's solace in that. The mini-QB run happened after you did.

 

[Ilov80s]

I’ll take Michael Thomas and will write up music in a minute

1.03 - Christian McCaffrey, RB, CAR

You might be more familiar with S.O.B. with his band the Night Sweats. His solo album is a bit different but equally impressive IMO. That song I posted has become my favourite of his.
