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

The Bears took Trubisky at #2 over Mahomes and Watson, and Trubisky had only played one year as the starter at UNC. He wasn't all that during his junior year when he started. I guess the Bears loved his potential.

Heard an interview with Carson Palmer's brother who worked with Trubisky , Watson and Mahomes before the draft and was there with them on draft day. He said the Bears never interviewed any of them and didn't even call Mitch before they drafted him. He found out when his name was called. What a clown show.

 
16.09 - Ryan Succop - Tampa Bay - K

Song: The Swingin' Medallions - Double Shot Of My Baby's Love (Succop went to University of South Carolina, Swingin' is a Carolina band)

I'm likely going to have to cut Succop, too, as he's in a kicking competition with Matt Gay.

 
My what the heck pick, and player I will probably cut.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling  - WR Packers           He played his first year of football at NC State, and The Rosebuds are from Raleigh.

Life Like - The Rosebuds

My God.  Please, no one listen to this song.  It is so atrocious.  Unless you own Ambercrombie & Fitch, which they say @ 45 times in the lyrics.  🤮

I am now kinda angry I didn't list Butterfly for an LA song.  So perfect.

I took this dude with my second round rookie pick this afternoon, so if he sucks I blame you all.

Great pick in Dynasty (I also used a 2 on him this year).  Be patient, they will use him but he won't be primary ball handler. But by end of the year/next year he could be a baby Kamara with his athleticism and skill set.

Adrian Peterson released...

Cool. This album is a bit like YHF but has a harder edge. Before recording started, Jeff Tweedy took guitar lessons from Television’s Tom Verlaine, giving some of the new songs an edgier and more dissonant sound than their predecessors. 
 

The band’s lineup was revamped after these sessions and avant-garde guitarist  Nels Cline was brought in. The new lineup toured this record — I saw them 3 times the following 2 years - and Cline absolutely killed these songs. That lineup remains to this day. 
 

Less Than You Think has a long instrumental section at the end. You won’t miss anything if you cut it off after a few minutes. The sound is meant to convey what Tweedy hears/feels when he gets migraines, which were particularly bad for him around that time.

Just finished A Ghost is Born and thought it was pretty good. Not as good as YHF but much better than Being There. Only track I couldn't take was Less Than You Think which you warned me about. 

Fav tracks- the late greats, handshake drugs,spiders, wishful thinking. 

Going to take a break from the Wilco and give the playlist a listen. Will try Summertime for my next Wilco.

I can see your 2020 roster in the league - direct link.

You had a Yahoo account last season to participate in this league ... do you still know the login to that account?

Yep.  And the site recognizes me.  Weird.  I do have a new computer.  I will try logging in again.  If I have no success, I will wait for my in-house tech support.

 
I feel like this is my best team yet in terms of coming up with music themed team names. Ertz, Lamb, Ekeler, OBJ, Burrow, Mayfield and more all provide good options. I usually change it for the first time around week 4 when I'm 1-3

Finally worked it out.  The computer change had me log in as a different email address.  All set now.  In-house tech is a wonderful thing.

 
Hey, just wanted to keep this on the front page and say pleasure drafting with you all.

No way my team gets a C. I love it. I only win with C's or less.

Oh no. Even in the beginning? I've already likely got to make two add/drops. Added to my transactions tab, I guess. 

It has to do with the great Trubisky/Foles battle. Great subheadline from the Chicago Sun-Times:

"The Bears hoped that challenging Trubisky with real competition for the first time in his NFL career would spark him to run away with the job. They were wrong. If they hoped Foles would sense an opportunity to start for the next three years and ease past Trubisky during training camp to get there, that didn’t happen, either."

I have $ on Mitch getting week 1 start at +300 odds.  Just think with a short training camp and their investment in Mitch he gets one last chance to hold the job.  Way easier to replace him with Foles than the other way around, in my opinion.

Yeah, you're probably right. Though Jacksonville found out their own Foles debacle the hard way. He looked awful in his games back with the Jags. He looked so awful against Tampa they replaced him in the middle of the game.

Oh, by the way, you sniped my D/ST. In every mock I did, Tampa was available. Not so in Summerpalooza, this fidelity to mocking. You had to be a round early this draft. Bunkum. At least they waived Gay today, and Succop is indeed their kicker. I'll only have to add/drop one then.
