I sort of had to grab him as Higbee ran almost no routes his first game and finished like 4-5 for 5.40. That's wire stuff. I could play the wire at TE if that's the kind of output I was getting there. I still might have to. Everyone might.
At this point my 2nd TE is my best non-qb flex (Gisecki).
I also had a year where I had Ertz and Kittle (got Kittle late) and they carried me as my TE and Flex to the championship. I think a flier on a TE late can be just as good as a WR late.
I took Jonnu in the rookie draft I posted about in here earlier so I've paid some attention to his games. Seems like he could be a monster. Like he's already a lot of the way there but I actually think he could be even more involved as the season goes on.
I don't disagree. My thinking was different this year about TEs. My dynasty roster is hurting, though, as the guy who had it before me probably felt the same way I did about the TE position.At this point my 2nd TE is my best non-qb flex (Gisecki).
Ertz and Kittle sure, but you have to be lucky. The cutoff last year for WR3 numbers was 170 PPR points. Only 6 TEs achieved that. WR2 was 212 and only 4 TEs did that. While I get the WR pool gets drafted deeper, I still think WR ultimately carries a larger upside.At this point my 2nd TE is my best non-qb flex (Gisecki).
I'm sure he was, but the better word in this sentence is "insistent" or "adamant". However, he was indignant that Jesus Walks was not the first single, or was indignant that Roc-A-Fella did not make Jesus Walks the first single.
What slot do you think I need to secure in order to get murder hornets in the first round?
No, you're right. I haven't used a word incorrectly in a long time, and there it is. I was editing the sentence as I was going along. The syntax is wrong, too.
Gotta be lucky to win this game either way. Last year I chose Lamar as my qb 2. Lucky.
I'm so conflicted on this, though I lean towards the side that streaming services have made it so much easier to find new music while also giving you everything you'd want at your fingertips. There's something amazing about the ease of thinking of something you haven't heard in a while and instantly finding it and streaming it. So overall I'll give it a net positive.

The fact that Spotify pays fractions of pennies per stream bothers me too. I don't know what the solution is, they would probably need to pay like 25x what they do now to give even a semblance of fairness to artists but I think so far it's not a super profitable company and I'm not paying 25x ($250/month) to stream.I'm so conflicted on this, though I lean towards the side that streaming services have made it so much easier to find new music while also giving you everything you'd want at your fingertips.

At the same time, as an album purist I don't like the fact that streaming services have "killed" the concept of albums to a large degree. Probably not for serious music lovers, like those in this thread, but the ability to create playlists and to just listen to songs randomly, lessens the impact of albums for a large part of the public.
Also as a music lover I took great joy looking through people's music collections whether records or CDs - it would give some insight into them as well imo. I'm not sure if I can ask to scroll through the downloads on their phone when I visit.
Yes - this does bother me as well. I see artists that have been around 30+ years like Big Head Todd or the Jayhawks doing live streams and asking for paypal donations and it hits me that these bands can only make money touring now. Gone are the days of musical acts being set for life after one or two big albums.
Both of you guys make interesting points about the artist and his or her viability as an economic agent within modern capitalist IP laws and payment procedures, but this issue is probably the most onerous with respect to actual performance and has been going on since 2001. I remember bands, Mogwai especially, having trouble getting visas and getting over to the States. They sort of wound up saying "forget it" and playing a lot in Europe rather than take these big tours of the U.S. where they're not as big, which of course made me sad. The tours were more financially viable in Europe to begin with, the added planning and cost of bringing equipment was a factor, and then the hassle just to be able to be here legally for a proper show was a great deterrent to them.
Yep for sure. Been a financial issue for a long time and now even moreso. I found the article I had read before about the recent changes. Not great!
Steal for me at $51!
I actually had to write a CD-laden contract in a music law class I had in law school. The artist paid a premium, per unit, for the "luxury" of having CDs produced by the record company, which was actually much cheaper for the company. It was a technology add on. Total rip-off. Most of the record companies really were banks and promotion outfits, they sure weren't about music qua music. But we know that. Just remembering the CD cost in the contract.
I didn't get the subtlety of the "not great" until I read that again. Well done.
We shall prosper. Also I am totally neglecting my dynasty team. I never remember to look at MFL
I have that problem in fantasy baseball. I hate CBS software/app, so I don't look at it near as much.
You're 2-0 with 25 fewer points scored than me and I'm 0-2. I'm sure you'll find a way
Or I’ve been lucky and my team is actually going to be bad, your team will be good moving forward. I actually love my team if they weren’t all hurt. I almost rather have Saquon where you can just cut him and move on instead of clogging up the roster.You're 2-0 with 25 fewer points scored than me and I'm 0-2. I'm sure you'll find a way
At least we have multiple IR spots this year, so you can move them to that temporarily.
You are a genius. I just need them to be ruled and not just doubtful.
Very interesting picks. What led you to Missing Persons? Listening right now on Spotify. I wouldn't have had the "Words" band on my radar in the least. I can see Paul Desmond and where you'd get there, but an obscure Missing Persons song? That's top notch.
No clue where I heard it. It's been in my liked songs list on Spotify for a few months and I don't at all remember what led me to it. Oh and I figured if they sang Walking in LA than they might be from LA.
I think that Missing Persons song was taken in a recent draft. I remember a brief discussion around them.
