Summerpalooza III: FFA Music/Fantasy Football Draft - Congrats League Champ Pip's Invitation (3 Viewers)

[Dr. Octopus]

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.

I love both but like his solo albums better. More my style.

@Mrs. Rannous is up

 

[Ilov80s]

1.10 WR Michael Thomas (Saints)- The Gypsy Live at Newport by Louis Armstrong

 

[Ilov80s]

I assume no clock, right?

 

[rockaction]

Probably slow draft. No clock, per NV a few pages back. Mrs. R. was here and left before we got to her, I think.

We may eventually have to start a clock so we can finish before the season starts.

Why does it sound familiar that we did go to a clock towards the end in the first year of the leeg?

I feel like she’s typically a night poster too so we might be done for the day. I’ll check back later to see.

I was, but I gave up on Ilov80's and went back to bed.

Round 1  -  Deshaun Watson  -  Hou  -  QB

Music later.

Tube Snake Boogie  -  ZZ

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

@Pip's Invitation is up for two.

 

[rockaction]

I was, but I gave up on Ilov80's and went back to bed.

Round 1  -  Deshaun Watson  -  Hou  -  QB

Music later.

I figured that was what happened. Wasn't being judgy or pushy or nothin'. Just noting that you were here.

Oh, and nice pick. Crazy QB thing we've got going here.

 

[Ilov80s]

Sorry, got caught up on a work call.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

1.12 Dalvin Cook, RB, MIN

Song: Husker Du -- Games. They are from Minneapolis. 

2.01 Russell Wilson, QB, SEA

Song: Well, this is easy, I have almost the whole grunge scene to work with. Soundgarden -- Jesus Christ Pose

Back to @Mrs. Rannous

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Round 2.2  -  Clyde Edwards-Helaire  -  RB  -KC

@Ilov80s you're up.

Walking to New Orleans  -  Fats Domino

 

[Ilov80s]

Round 2.2  -  Clyde Edwards-Helaire  -  RB  -KC

@Ilov80s you're up.

So close! Good pick 

 

[Ilov80s]

2.3 WR Davante Adams Green Bay: Just a Little by The Beau Brummels

Adams was born in Redwood City

 

[Ilov80s]

@mphtrilogy otc

this feels like the movie draft all over again 

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Music choices:

Watson  -  Tube Snake Boogie  -  ZZ Top

Edwards-Helaire  -  Walking to New Orleans  -  Fats Domino

Because you can.  Baton Rouge is only 81 miles from there.  And there's zero miles from Houston to Houston.  I could do an entire draft just using those two cities.

 

[mphtrilogy]

2.4 - T. Hill - Kansas City

Birthplace of Burt Bacharach, choosing the Naked Eyes version of his classic tune , Always Something There to Remind Me

 

[mphtrilogy]

@Raging weasel

 

[Ilov80s]

Here we go with another zero RB draft. That wasn't the plan and maybe I should have taken CEH over Thomas even though that sounds insane. 

 

[Raging weasel]

Round 2- Josh Jacobs RB

Will post song in a bit

Bad Company- 5 Finger Death Punch

 

[Raging weasel]

Here we go with another zero RB draft. That wasn't the plan and maybe I should have taken CEH over Thomas even though that sounds insane. 

Yeah, it was hard for me not to go RB in the 1st but figured in a superflex QBs would go fast. Looks like I'm going zero WR- lol.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

2.4 - T. Hill - Kansas City

Birthplace of Burt Bacharach, choosing the Naked Eyes version of his classic tune , Always Something There to Remind Me

I was taking CEH if Cook was gone, and I would have gone with a Burt tune as well.

WR is deep this year so it's not a terrible strategy

 

[Raging weasel]

Damn, my song choice is 106 miles- back to the drawing board.

Remember, Google sometimes goes by the driving route rather than the actual distance.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

2.06 Aaron Jones - Green Bay RB

American Music - Violent Femmes

 

[Dr. Octopus]

@KarmaPolice

Spot on. There's a tool, though I forget where it is on the internet, that lets you tell a hundred mile radius or something like that. It gives true distance, not travel distance. Maybe look for that.

 

[KarmaPolice]

 

I am so out of my element here.  Plz give me a couple minutes

 

[KarmaPolice]

2.07:   NICK CHUBB - RB  (went to U of GA)

SONG:  B-52s:  MESOPOTAMIA

Trying to dig a tad deeper and have some fun with this playlist.

It's Miles Sanders, RB, Philadelphia
Song TK

 

[rockaction]

I'm up. Give me a moment. 

 

[Raging weasel]

Song added to pick.

 

[rockaction]

Huh. Here we go. An oldie but goodie from last year (the player on my Summerpalooza team, not the song. The song is from around '97, I think).

2.09 - Chris Godwin, WR, Tampa Bay

Song: Interpreters -- Make Up Your Mind

The Interpreters grew up in and played in Philly. Godwin was born there, too.

 

[rockaction]

@Northern Voice

 

[rockaction]

Shoot. Anybody know how to add songs to the playlist? The Interpreters are there, surprisingly, but I can't seem to figure out how to add the song.

Do you have the playlist on your Spotify? If you do, just click and drag the song into the playlist.

 

[rockaction]

Both of my picks are on my dynasty squad. I'd better pray for good health for the both of them, or I'm nuked all over.

Now I have it, but can't drag and drop. This must have been what wikkid and otb talked about frequently that draft.

On my Android there is an add to playlist button. Hit that and then use search to find your song

Word. That totally did it. Thanks.

 

[Northern Voice]

I didn't expect it to get back to me this soon. I'll pick soon

You picked 9 hours ago. That's a long time in a fantasy football draft.

 

[Raging weasel]

I'd think you guys that did these before have a huge edge on the music side. I generally have no idea where a band is from let alone which colleges are within 100 miles of there.

I can keep up with the player picks but expect big delays in the music Sat night and Sun because I have 3 real drafts then. Sunday afternoon Im hosting the first ever outdoor draft for the league I've commished since 1995.

I have to look up a lot artists/bands all the time in this draft, especially when picking players from colleges or teams in the midwest. 

My long-time league draft is tomorrow, but I am not going in person. First time ever. I just don't feel comfortable being around those league members with possible cooties since Covid is spreading all around these parts.  I bought my first laptop ever recently so I will Zoom. One of the league members from out of state is Zooming too, and another out of stater might be Zooming as well.
