I just wonder what happened to Chubba. He was a legit track star and was never caught from behind his junior year. 2 years later and he seems a 4.5-4.6 guy. What in the world happened.

  The thread title. @Northern Voice

 

[KarmaPolice]

Dyami Brown WR Wash

A flyer based solely on the music selection.

@Northern Voice

Will double it up for fun here:

CORROSION OF CONFORMITY - MINE ARE THE EYES OF GOD

LAMB OF GOD - WALK WITH ME IN HELL

 

[Dr. Octopus]

16.02

TE Jared Cook - Los Angeles

I'll pick a song on Sunday for this and if free for all is tomorrow I will likely wait until Sunday to make it. I don't care which defense I get really.

Put on weight for football? An extra 15-20 lbs could make a difference.

 

[Ilov80s]

Probably a huge part of it though he still only weighed in at 205. I wonder if was playing at 190 in college?

Dunno ... in the 2019 OK State media guide, he was listed at 207 lbs  

EDIT: Hmmm, his Oklahoma State Pro day 40-time is variously reported as 4.36 and 4.48

I think he was the Canadian U20 100M Champion. It is Canada though so maybe that’s not as fast as you would expect.

Canadians are allowed to be in forward motion at the starting gun like in the CFL

The shark move may be to wait on the final pick until this weekend's pre-season action plays out

 

[otb_lifer]

16.03

Rico Flores & His Pazzo Band of Whyos - MIAMI DOLPHINS DEFENSE

imo, the biggest omission of the facacta R n' R HoF is my guy, Ian Hunter ... but Miami's own Disco Darlings ain't far behind, 'specially considering the riff raff fringe #### they have opened the doors for - 

K.C. & The Sunshine Band - Keep It Comin' Love

(is that suggestive title too racy for FFA circa 2021?)

if Everett got sniped i was gonna go TrautMON ... 

good snag.

 

[otb_lifer]

If you told me an 18 year old left winger from White Rock, British Columbia named Chase Claypool was the top prospect in the upcoming NHL draft, I would buy it. 

name sounds more Ontario-ish than BC ... but i'll allow it

 

[Truebluey]

A few of us mentioned we might like to play in an additional league.  I created one on Sleeper.

Let's see if there is interest. I could really use a League where there was some good back-and-forth haranguing and trash talk, and even more so an active league where people trade at least occasionally. My 24+ years home league is fun, but they are NOT into trading and some of them aren't really into fantasy (at least the way I am).

https://sleeper.app/i/JMY7W7aKOAwg

Feel free to share the invite with anyone you think is appropriate.

I'd love to do a live draft - if we can find a convenient time.

Best,

Truebluey

horse faced folk from the lower 48, too ...

 

[Truebluey]

Hmmm, I rechecked the invite link, it checked out. This is the actual url I have.

https://sleeper.app/leagues/732468308103823360

Maybe you have to join Sleeper first?  I've never used it before. I can create a League on Fleaflicker if we wish, that always seems to work for me.

16.05  Will Fuller  WR Miami

What the hey.

@Pip's Invitation

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

them's USofA sounding names, though ... "Josh Palmer" sounds like a gritty forechecker for the Halifax Mooseheads

Clyde Edwards-Hilaire not working for you?

 

[otb_lifer]

Clyde Edwards-Hilaire not working for you?

perhaps a Marcel Edwards-Helaire ... but, Clyde?

 

[rockaction]

16.05  Will Fuller  WR Miami

@Pip's Invitation

Will Fuller went a long, long time ago, Mrs. R. NV took him in the eighth. That would have been massive value. 

 

[Eephus]

Claude?

 

[Eephus]

Sorry Truebluey, I'm a Musicguy, not a Footballguy

 

[rockaction]

Claude?

Claude-Eduoard Helaire. 

 

[otb_lifer]

Claude?

... and this is why i need more caffeine - well played.

Missed that one.  I just assumed he was out for the season.  How about this guy:

it's only Friday ... give it time

I'll play provided it's not for crazy high $.  I use and like fleaflicker, but don't have a problem trying this new deal.  Just give me a head's up.

FREE FOR ALL STARTS AT NOON EASTERN THE DAY AFTER PICK 16.14 IS MADE. 

EVERYONE HAS FAIR WARNING THIS WAY.

Chuba makes me think of these, not crack rocks

Where did that come from, Eephus?

By the way, True, I'm in a bunch of leagues this year. Going to have to pass on this. Hit me up and keep me in your thoughts for next year. That's when I crash gates hard. 

 

[Pip's Invitation]

I guess this guy is the non-Canadian, East Coast version of Josh Palmer. In other words, he could be a huge surprise but more likely will be the first guy I cut. 

16.06 Quez Watkins WR PHI

Song: T.S.O.P. (The Sound of Philadelphia) -- MFSB ft. The Three Degrees

@Eephusup.

 

[Eephus]

Where did that come from, Eephus? 

Used to call 'em hubbas back in the day.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

For Parris Campbell:

Paris (Ooh La La)  -  Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

 

[Eephus]

16.07 - Younghoe Koo - PK - ATL

@The Dreaded Marco

 

[Eephus]

any ideas for Friday night bonus round?

 

[Northern Voice]

For the vinyl folks in here @rockaction tonight was a vinyl night, but mostly all modern indie rock as I am me...

The Strokes - The New Abnormal

Tokyo Police Club - Forcefield

Rural Alberta Advantage - Mended With Gold

And now playing, one of the most NV albums of all time. I'll give a ten minute window to guess in case anyone cares. JZ would likely nail it...

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

The first player you every selected in a FF draft and a song to go along? I still remember my first

I don't necessarily remember my first but we could throw alongside it a memorable sleeper or bust?

Hells yeah. Just was going through my albums and gave my old Hot Fuss copy a fresh see-thru plastic sleeve that's a bit larger than the one it had. Thought of ole NV. No bull####. I was then going to put on the record, but I started having "Cowgirl In The Sand" go through my head. I did not think of Pip.

I obviously 1000% have Hot Fuss on vinyl (the photos of Brandon and co in the liner are absolutely priceless) but not what I'm currently listening to.

The music of bitterness.  I like it.

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

16.08  Indianapolis Colts - D/ST

Silver Jews - Sometimes a Pony Gets Depressed

@Northern Voice

 

[Northern Voice]

In the spirit of Marco's Friday bonus... I don't remember my first ever pick but I do remember in 1998, my first year ever playing fantasy football as an expansion franchise - and in a dynasty league - I hit on a rookie RB who reeled off 1400+ total yards and 12 TDs. And I was laughing going into year two with this stud to lead my squad. 

You know where this is going, don't you. 

Summertime Sadness - Lana Del Rey

Robert Edwards, RB, NE

 

[rockaction]

Bonus Friday Night First Ever Fantasy Selection: 

My first or second pick was a doozy and a bad one that year. I forgot where I picked him because I got him close to the back end of the first round or beginning of the second. I was not on the turn, but close.

He had an ankle sprain and never quite recovered. This is a song from Atlanta from that year (2010 into 2011). 

Roddy White - ATL - WR

Song: Follow Us - Big Boi - Sir Lucious Left Foot...The Son Of Chico Dusty 

My other pick went really well. I remember it distinctly. 

Matt Forte - CHI - RB

Who else could I pick from Chicago? Another one from 2010 into 2011...

Song: POWER - Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy 

 

[rockaction]

I obviously 1000% have Hot Fuss on vinyl (the photos of Brandon and co in the liner are absolutely priceless) but not what I'm currently listening to. 

Yeah, I figured it wasn't the one. I seriously was just going through my stuff about an hour and a half ago and thought of that.
