[Mrs. Rannous]

Rock, are you changing your team's name on an hourly basis or something?

 

[Raging weasel]

Have a whole bunch of injured or useless guys on my bench but can't replace them because you guys are like piranhas.

Did manage to get Ertz TE Phil

Cinderella-Nobody's Fool

Huh? The Lawrence Arms has been its name since before Week One, really. It went from one to another.

Now it's the Superfly Mayfields. But it had been the Lawrence Arms forever

 

[Eephus]

Man, Eephus, I forgot you were from there for a moment.

"Liberace is Coming"

I can only imagine how they came up with that in their head. "Liberation is Coming? No, Liberace!"

Liberace was a native of Milwaukee.

He once lived about a mile and a half from where I grew up.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Now it's the Superfly Mayfields. But it had been the Lawrence Arms forever

I must be delusional.

 

[rockaction]

I must be delusional.

It was Sisters Christian, then before Week One, The Lawrence Arms, but then I dropped him, so your post was timely and reminded me to change it to the Superfly Mayfields, which should be the Mayfield Superflys.

 

[facook]

Added Tyrod Taylor QB Texans

Sara Bareilles - Single Ladies

Missed this first shot. I love this album and song.

 

[rockaction]

I just added Anthony Miller and Dallas's defense. Give me a minute to make selections.

 

[Eephus]

Added

Jared Goff - QB - Detroit/Cal

Joshua Redman - Make Sure Your Sure

Saxophonist Redman was born in Berkeley. He's the son of Dewey Redman who played sax with Keith Jarrett's American quartet for many years.

This 1993 track features Redman in a pianoless quartet with an all-star rhythm section of Pat Metheny, Billy Higgins and Charlie Haden.  The song is a lovely cover of one of Stevie Wonder's songs from the Jungle Fever soundtrack.

 

[rockaction]

I've sort of exhausted the '77/'78 punk band thing in Houston and Dallas.

Anthony Miller

Discharge - I Don't Care

Zilla, nice touch with The Lawrence Arms. Lol.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

I seem to have won my game.  Whee!

 

[rockaction]

I seem to have won my game.  Whee!

Congrats! 

I drop to 0-4. Ooooof. Not such a great year so far. 

 

[JZilla]

Zilla, nice touch with The Lawrence Arms. Lol.

Thanks, I don't really know what it means but it's a nice name and I thought I might use it for a while. 

What gives, 4-0, I feel like Hootie and the Blowfish selling a hundred million crappy albums

The Lawrence Arms are a punk band from the aughts. Their singer, Brendan Kelly (?) was the founder behind the famous Twitter account Nihilist Arby's, if I'm not mistaken. Least that's what I read once.

Has a team ever gone winless in one of these?

I don't think so. Not sure what you're trying to say...

 

[Northern Voice]

I nearly sent you a trade offer for Montgomery this week, then was pissed I didn't, then happy I didn't. I was mostly just realizing you were now down him and McCaffrey for a while. :(

Oh. That would shaken things up a bit. Now I have this. 

Yeah, it's going to be a rough year. I'm still going to be active, though, long as I'm not incapacitated. I figure I'll play spoiler down the stretch when they come back, maybe. 

And having Miles Sanders isn't much better. My RB-RB-RB start went up in smoke. I waited too long at WR and then proceeded to take the wrong ones. I get my dynasty confused with my redraft sometimes, and I err on the side of younger players, which isn't necessarily the way to approach redraft. 

 

[Raging weasel]

For a few minutes last night while Ekler limped off I thought I'd be down to just Michel in a league I commish.

Have lost Dobbins,Edwards,Moestert, Montgomery and apparently Ty'Son now as well.

[Dr. Octopus]

Me and rock set fantasy football back 50 years in that matchup.

 

[Raging weasel]

Somehow not in last place(yet) with this roster of under performers and broken or useless guys. I'll be shocked if I win another game now that bye weeks are coming and the wire is pretty barren of help.

 

[Eephus]

Jason Sanders - K - MIA

Hip Jones - Elvin Jones - McCoy Tyner Quintet

Bye week kicker and a Dolphin to boot.

The Jazz connection is the living legend Pharoah Sanders on tenor sax. Sanders' stuff as a leader are mostly 15+ minute tracks so I'm taking Pharoah as a sideman. 

This 1982 session reunites Jones and Tyner who were half of John Coltrane's immortal quartet. Sanders played with Coltrane after he broke up the quartet and moved in a freer direction. That's how I've always known Sanders, playing outside with long droning sections. But on this record he sounds more like 50s Coltrane than the stuff they recorded together.  I saw Pharoah accompany a ballet once, he sat on the side of the stage in his robe improvising on tenor while the dancers jumped around. It was a thing.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Picked up Mo Alie-Cox. 

Louis Armstrong plays Indiana.

I shouldn't have used my 90s football reference when you drafted Humphrey in Genrepalooza. It would have been more relevant here.
