Anyone want to take my pick in case Doug picks? I likely will stop checking in soon.

I’ll pick the song tomorrow.

14.03

Gerald Everett, TE Seattle

DK ain't gonna be the only athletic freak Mr. Ciara can chuck it to ... bonus of Waldron coming in as new O.C. for Seattle, after spending the past few years coordinating the passing game and coaching the tight ends for Everett's ex-employers in El Lay. 

UAB alum, so let it fly with one of the favorite sons of Alabama: Hank Williams - Howlin' At The Moon

So much of nfl is a war of attrition.  See: SF 2020.

 

[Raging weasel]

i missed this ... why did you have to snag them?

So I could get the title song of our draft playlist ( Heaven and Hell)

Doesn't hurt that they should be a top defense and have a late bye so only need to draft one.

 

[Northern Voice]

So much of nfl is a war of attrition.  See: SF 2020.

Also NV 2020. My CMC, Ekeler, DHop, OBJ, Burrow, Mayfield, Montgomery, Lamb, Ertz (  ) squad should have killed all of you last year. Yahoo's 11-2 projection was generous to the rest of the league. 

 

[facook]

Allllll riiiight....pivoting off Everett, who is BOUND to disappoint, and with the benefit of watching a bit more of the festivities tonight...

14.04 Rhamondre Stevenson RB NE (swinging for the fences, he stands out so much he becomes THE GUY...uh huh, right)

Mr. Brightside - Boyce Avenue

@Mrs. Rannous

 

[Northern Voice]

Has any other team had 4 RBs drafted?

Miami, Philly, Tampa, NYJ all at 3, I think.

I'm a schmuck.  NE is always a c-tease for rb drafters.  EVERY TIME.  At least I'm the least of these.

Rhamondre looks like he could be the goal line guy but also, I could potentially find the end zone against Philly's lineup tonight.

Cooler name than James White

@Pip's Invitation yo up!

SO true.

I took him early in BB, and kinda tilted after otb took my#2 te.  I have issues.

Also, Bill Bel can bite me.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

14.06 D WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM

Song: Washington, D.C. -- The Magnetic Fields

@Eephusup 

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

Sorry if I missed a final decision but are we going 16, 17 or 18 rounds? 

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Answer was on p. 25:

17 and FFA in round 17 final

Snake draft for 16 rounds. Then 17th is a free-for-all where everyone posts their last pick (probably a kicker) whenever. 

 

[Eephus]

14.07 - Tampa Bay DST

The Pillows - Little Busters

Bears (Monty, Cohen, Williams) also at 3.  

 

[Northern Voice]

Well, @otb_lifer said it was more fun to win and he's been the top WR on my board for like a week, so...

14.09 - Cole Beasley, WR, BUF

we just talked about multi (3+) rbs from particular teams, but are the Bison first with this many wrs off the bored?

4 taken - Diggity Dog, Davis, Manny, The Beeze.

I think Arizona beat them there. I'm sure having one of the four in each instance is fine, right?

They do have a great QB.

 

[otb_lifer]

ties 'em with 4 (Nuk, AJ, Captain Kirk, Rondale).

They do have a great QB.

and yet, one of this generation's greatest only saw only ONE of his WRs go ... 

still time for a couple more to hit 4 off the bored, but lookin' slim. 

 

[Ilov80s]

14.11 RB Justin Jackson

The Left is Right by Desaparecidos

If anyone is aware of Jackson on social media, he's very politically engaged and far left 

@JZilla you are up 

 

[Ilov80s]

14.09 - Cole Beasley, WR, BUF

@Raging weasel@KarmaPolice

Very curious to see what song you go with here...

14.12  Jake Funk  RB LAR  DC area guy

Hope this works out better than Jake Butt

Girls Against Boys - Taste All The Fruit

 

[JZilla]

@Westerberg

 

[Westerberg]

Animal Collective - My Girls

Was never really a fan of these guys, but I always loved this song.

Same here, only I love Panda Bear from the Collective. Don't know why, but I do.

14.14 - Marquez Valdes-Scantling - WR - Green Bay 

I'll be your camp hype's Huckleberry, Marquez. There you go, otb. Two. 

These next two songs focus on the town's punk history and their best rather than '77. I figure it's in that spirit. 

Okay, Rev. Norb earns honorary seventy-seven honors with his hucklebuck. The Rev. is from Green Bay, and nobody would know more about punk history than he would. Former columnist for Maximum Rock N' Roll by way of Green Bay (that means you were a national punk stud), here is the Rev. His columns were 90s punk. Non-politically correct, unconcerned with social justice, he just was the ultimate pop culture dork, ten years before that hit the mainstream in the A.V. Club, only without political wankery. Anyway, I was his Huckleberry back then, just like MVS today. 

Song: Rev. Nørb - The Anti-Hucklebuck

for the list we're going with 

Song: Boris The Sprinkler - West of The East

15.01 - Blake Jarwin - TE - DAL

There is no '77 connection on Spotify for Dallas. Or, I'm lazy. This is about as '77 as you're gonna get in the aughts. Straight out of it. This fits the mix perfectly.

Song: The Marked Men - Too Pretty To ####

@JZilla you are up 

Take it to the political sub forum!

 

[rockaction]

One day maybe
You'll be way be-
yond this silly habit you've put on

Tough and strong enough and wrong 
Yeah wrong enough for long enough 

To belong there
But 'til that day comes along 

You'll be sullen and regretful
Querulous and fretftul 
Carrying a headful of evil thoughts and 
There'll be
lots of girls and people 
Who wanna know where you stand but in your 
Sackcloth and ashes
Sackcloth and ashes 
Sackcloth and ashes
they're never gonna understand - "Sackcloth and Ashes," Mr. T. Experience

I'm on a Mr. T. kick. Can't pick it because it's 95, but here it sits...

Covering a Dorothy Parker essay/poem will earn you major points in my early 20's book. I always emphasized the first verses and left the last. From the first...

This is what I pray
Keep her by me tenderly
Keep her sweet in pride of me
Ever and a day

Let's just say auto-correct is a drag. I was saying "verses" not "versus" and it auto-corrected. It's not a terrible algorithm but must be responsible for so many misunderstandings, never mind family fights. Hoo boy. Same with texting the wrong person on accident. Oof. 

 

[rockaction]

Take it to the political sub forum!

Almost impossible with Jackson and Beasley. Hoo baby. 

I have a hard and fast rule for myself. No Twitter. Ever. Only follow and like, never comment, never DM. I'm embarrassed of football views I held five years ago, never mind political ones. Add that to the fact that I'm being hyperbolic to make a point most of the time, anyway, and you've got utter ####### disaster on Twitter. My two followers might flame me. 

But just so this doesn't become even remotely a political discussion, I see you, Westerberg, tailing my '77 New York picks. Don't think I haven't busted out the periscope and seen it from not even a drafting distance. 

WE'RE ONLY A SLOT APART!

There’s also the button that allows you to make a voice recording and send it as a text. My MIL accidentally sent one of those to my wife and sure enough, it was a conversation of  my MIL talking #### about my wife. It was not a big deal because we all know my MIL is nuts and this is par for the course. When my wife asked her about it, she denied it like a child. Luckily my wife is very chill but I can imagine in some other families, this kind of thing has caused nuclear wars.
