Summerpalooza IV - Combined Music/Fantasy Draft - Braxton Un-Breaks My Heart (5 Viewers)

[Dr. Octopus]

I haven’t had a player play yet and I’ll still winning 

0 to -0.6

0 to -0.6

I literally spit my coffee when I read that. Oh my God.

LOLZ. ROJO!

 

[rockaction]

Just so everybody knows, I started RoJo in my main dynasty league and am eating that -0.60 as we speak. The worst part of it? I traded Chase Edmonds for him and a third earlier this offseason, thinking Edmonds had one more season to score any points in a committee and RoJo, though part of a committee, had a chance -- a chance -- of breaking through this year.

So much for that. Tampa is Tompa and they'll win with blitz pickups and ball security in the backfield. That's where the bread is buttered. RoJo is a volatile back, a talented runner, but a tough sell in other phases. Exactly what Tampa doesn't need.

I almost started him in one dynasty league but went with Hardman instead. I also traded for him this off-season which at this point looks like a mistake. Arians just does not like the guy.

 

[Northern Voice]

While we're talking other leagues, I did an NFFC qualifier thing Tuesday night for the first time. I was super happy with my team. Especially the SOD at pick #49.. Gus Edwards. The (useless) draft review thing gave my draft an A+ and easy league winner but not sure it has the horses without Gus.

It's strange if that's the case (as it appears) that they didn't add anyone else in the offseason, aside from Gio Bernard - who I recognize is regarded as an excellent NFL player because of pass protection but not really a substantial option for touches. 

 

[Ilov80s]

Interesting word. I always thought obsidian primarily meant black and smooth.

Anthony Hecht uses it in "Death As A Whore" to describe her crack pipe, IIRC.

"Obsidian-slick," I believe he says.

Fun fact, obsidian can be other colors. But yeah, smooth and shiny on the outside but if you break it open it's sharper than a razor.

Jeez. I am being disabused of that notion that I knew what obsidian meant today. I had an inkling I didn't. Never draw context from poetry, I've learned. Words in poetry have impact, import for meter and time. Not necessarily accuracy.

The bolded sounds like one of those rose/crack pipes.

Many years, NE didn't have much in the backfield to support Brady aside from a reliable pass-catching back (Kevin Faulk, James White). Perhaps TB decided it could get by with the same and grabbed Bernard to fill the Faulk/White role.

Thread title.

That's French mastery. (Okay, I'm really just looking for an excuse to use this icon which has appeared in my "used icon" box. I haven't used it.)

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

I almost started him in one dynasty league but went with Hardman instead. 

I had this exact same situation in this league. Almost went with Hardman.

As you have pointed out, though, I started RJ.

This new title makes me sad. 

The Rush hate HAS GONE TOO FAR!!!

I'm not sure you understand that obsidian could be used as a scalpel in a pinch.  From Wikipedia:

Obsidian can be used to make extremely sharp knives, and obsidian blades are a type of glass knife made using naturally occurring obsidian instead of manufactured glass. Obsidian is used by some surgeons for scalpel blades, although this is not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use on humans. Well-crafted obsidian blades, like any glass knife, can have a cutting edge many times sharper than high-quality steel surgical scalpels: the cutting edge of the blade is only about 3 nanometers thick.

It makes lethal projectile points.

No, I'm becoming aware of its incisor qualities. Have you ever seen how hard the shards of a broken crack pipe can be? You get cut just handling one. Lips and fingers. It's why they pass out free ones in San Francisco now. To cut down on all the cutting that pipes do. AIDS gets transmitted that way if it's wet with blood, which it often is.

But I'm a blank slate when it comes to obsidian right now.

Added LA Chargers D

Dropped: The two QBs I added for $9 four days ago. 

Rat tailed Jimmy is a second hand hood
He deals out in Hollywood
Got a '65 Chevy primered flames
Traded for some powdered goods
Jigsaw Jimmy he's runnin' a gang
But I hear he's doin' okay
Got a cozy little job sells the Mexican mob
Packages of candy cane

I had a beer tonight called "Little by Little" and I've had the confounded Oasis song in my head ever since. Posting here to not spotlight in case someone has the lethal Definitely Maybe/What's the Story combo queued up in the half decades draft --- I joke but they're actually probably draft worthy a few rounds from now. Not Heathen Chemistry though, which is what this song is from. 

Little by little we gave you everything you ever dreamed of
Little by little the wheels of your life have slowly fallen off
Little by little you have to give it all in all your life
And all the time I just ask myself why you're really here?
Why am I really here?
Why am I really here?

Why indeed

We ain't going to the party
We ain't going to the game
We ain't going to the disco
Ain't gonna cruise down Main

We're stealing people's mail
Stealing people's mail
Stealing people's mail
Stealing people's mail
Stealing people's mail
On a Friday night

Drivin' in the mountains
Winding 'round and 'round
Rummage through your mailboxes
Take your mail back to town

And we got license plates, wedding gifts, tax returns
Checks to politicians from real estate firms
Money, bills and cancelled checks
Pretty funny pictures of your kids

We're gonna steal your mail
On a Friday night
We're gonna steal your mail
By the pale moonlight

We got grocery sackful after grocery sackful
After grocery sackful after grocery sackful
After grocery sackful after grocery sackful
Of the private lives of you

People say that we're crazy
We're sick and all alone
But when we read your letters
We're rolling on the floor

And we got license plates, wedding gifts, tax returns
Checks to politicians from real estate firms
Money, bills and cancelled checks
We cut relationships with your friends

We're gonna steal your mail
On a Friday night
We're gonna steal your mail
By the pale moonlight

We better not get caught
We'll be dumped in institutions
Where we'll be drugged and shocked
Till we come out born-again Christians

Stealing people's mail
Stealing people's mail
Stealing people's mail
Stealing people's mail
On a Friday night, n-n-n-night

Dead Kennedys - Stealing People' Mail

 

[rockaction]

Somehow two goose eggs by starters might just be too tough to overcome. Too bad I wasted a bench spot on the NYG defense over New Orleans, who I thought would be good this year, but not against Green Bay.

Now that album is in my head.

Sunday Sunday at the 'musement part
See that fat kids with their pop
"Oh Dad," and the flags and balloons

I was so happy with the team I drafted that went

• AJones
  
• Barkley
  
• AJ Brown
  
• Gus Edwards
  
• Thielen 
  
• Rodgers
  
• Sutton
  
• Fant
  
• CSamuel
  

Absolute disaster in week one.

I appreciate the points and the win, but how many guys do you think would have to be on Waller for Carr not to try to force the throw to him

 

[krista4]

That was one of the best games between two teams I don't GAF about I've ever seen.

 

[facook]

Great. Teams. Cover.

Huh, the team with Jones actually won because it played one of the only three teams that scored fewer points. 

In this league I would have won if I'd had anything resembling a normal QB score. The other team with Rodgers completely shat the bed -- it's Superflex and I started Rodgers and Fitzmagic.

I laugh because Fitz and Aiyuk's zeros wound up killing me this week.

It's 6 points per pass TD, so your QBs should be putting up at least 40 between them. Mine got 2.
