Donovan Peoples-Jones WR Browns
Bill Evans - Two Lonely People
Peoples is the plural of people right?
Bill Evans (1929-1980) was one of the greatest Jazz pianists. This 1971 recording of his original composition features his longest-serving trio with Eddie Gomez on bass and Marty Morell on drums.

I don't think I'm going to be able to keep the '77/'78 punk schtick up if I want to even have a remote chance of getting back into this. I may be sunk already.

Ty Johnson - RB - New York Jets
Charlie Parker - Scrapple From the Apple
Bid $5 on Johnson to lock down both halves of a bad RB committee.
Scrapple From the Apple is a Bebop standard written by Bird. It's been recorded a lot and you're probably familiar with the melody even if you don't listen to Jazz.
Scrapple is a Pennsylvania Dutch dish of a "mush of pork scraps and trimmings combined with cornmeal and wheat flour" which also describes the Jets' offense.

simey thought, years ago, that I was churning. I honestly just couldn't make up my mind. It prevented her from a move or two. Thank God I didn't know that until much later or I'd have been mortified. I'M NO CHURNER, DARN IT!
I'm also in dead, dead last and my FRDC is gone for a few weeks. I wouldn't want to play me as a spoiler, but it looks like that might just be what I'm shooting for here. Oof. I'm 0-8 in my leagues this year. Turrible.

I have no ####### idea what "churning the Ds" even means. I upgraded my original D (Indy) for this upcoming week based on a match-up (NYG vs. ATL). But I also noted that one of the best D's in the league had been dropped so I put in for a waiver on the Rams.
And I got to add the Ocean Blue and Owl John to my playlist, to boot.

And why do you care about my waiver wire moves in a free, song-draft related FF league?
rockaction

I can't speak definitively for facook, but from what I know of my bud, I think he's just kidding. I think he's being ironic about the free, song-draft related league and its general lack of cutthroat competitive spirit and behavior. That's my two cents and how I would take that, anyway.
The tone never comes through right in this format unless you know the person sometimes.
Churning, by the way, is a strategy whereby you select a bunch of guys and then drop them without ever using them, preventing your opponent and league from doing the same. It's a shady tactic in competitive leagues, even.

I am so guilty of churning without meaning to.
MoCS, God bless him, asked a few years back who had picked up guys and added them again without having ever used them. People raised my hands for me. I was embarrassed, but that was me.
It's all good. It was indeed a free league -- this one -- so nobody killed me for it.

I don't know what churning means. I thought you were just neurotic with adding someone and dropping them the next day, adding someone else and then dropping them too, etc. It drove me nuts, cause I would want to pick up the person you picked up, but then you would dump them the same week, and it would be too late for me to pick them up, cause they had to be on waivers for a specific amount of days before they could be a free agent. You did it all the time one year. I didn't think you were doing it strategically. I thought you probably needed medication.

Sorry again, simey. That must have been annoying. I was being neurotic. I never would have done that in this league on purpose. Or any league. I actually was on too much medication, and felt speedy from it that year.I don't know what churning means.

That year that simey is talking about? I finished seventh, by the way. :X
I may really be in for it this year, too.

You'd have to ask NV about that. I can tell you that I'm in dead last and I'm going to have to get a band tattoo if I lose, apparently. Or buy a band shirt and wear it to a nice dinner.
Ouch on that last one. Twist my arm.

Also #### Robby Anderson. I genuinely liked him this year.

Oh my. Shark Pool brawling aside for me and Sam Darnold, I can tell you as a Jets fan that he and Darnold have had zero chemistry over the years, though I thought it might be the offense back then.
Nope. Looks like Sam and Robby.

A quick search says I could adda spectator as a co-manager to a team and limit them from making any roster moves.
Seems complicated for buzzed, on his phone NV but I'll have sober, on his computer NV look in the morning.

I get it, but Robby caught 95 passes last year and they just threw like $30 million at him. Maybe target him a couple times a quarter?

Sorry Marco, I was being tongue-firmly--planted-in-cheek. And then I went and put my son to bed and then I watched a TERRIBLE show with my wife and now I'm back and see I caused a stir. Was having a laugh, but you don't know me, so you don't know I'm generally having a laugh. You could pick up and drop every D in this league and if I caught it at the right time I'd comment and if not I'd ignore. But ultimately no, I don't care. Cheers!

I'm going to make an addendum pick to Eephus's Donovan-People Jones pick.
Yes, you know what it's going to be already, don't you...
I'm just wild about saffron
Saffron's wild about me.
Is he saying "Quite right, Slim"?
No, he's saying "quite right-ly"
Oh boy. He's also wild about fourteen. That's not so aging well.

I cooked a ribeye for my father in law tonight for his birthday (and salmon for my mother in law and mom, who are up here with me. and impossible burger for vegan Mrs. NV - it was all on the BBQ, so no hardship).
Anyway, father in law still doing pretty well. He's been bugging for a steak for months but most of you know, I'm "flexitarian" I suppose but basically don't eat meat. But I did tonight with him because it's his birthday and let's be real, maybe his last.
We also did proper roasted potatoes (high temp, over an hour in the oven, tons of oil, salt, thyme). It was all so good. I always say I don't miss steak but damn this was good, even if I say so having bought, seasoned and cooked it myself. It was damn good.
Anyway, really great meal and good night.
Now, I'm off to churn some defences.

I'm making this recipe tomorrow for my fam: https://damndelicious.net/2017/02/13/sheet-pan-shrimp-boil/. Got it from the Judge Smails golf trip thread.
Thinking I need to pre-roast the potatoes, corn, and sausage for maybe 10 minutes before baking as called for? A little char goes oh so far, right?
Also, even if I didn't already know you were Canadian....

I was kind of keeping an eye on it while I was typing. Best I can tell it is on HGTV and it's something along the lines of "Our Attractive Family Built A New Home On Three Square Acres Of Manure."

The cooking nerd in me thinks you should parboil those potatoes for a few minutes like I did tonight before throwing them on the pan but that maybe defeats the single pan meal purpose.I'm making this recipe tomorrow for my fam: https://damndelicious.net/2017/02/13/sheet-pan-shrimp-boil/.

Oh ####. As I was dropping my car off at the collision place the other day (it's been weeks now since I had a working vehicle after I wrapped it around a Ford F-350), they were showing one of those. HGTV, too. The guy on the program had to fix and repair his own shutters. I was sort of thinking, "that's a do-it-yourselfer that wishes he'd scored a bigger program."

What did you drive that was big enough to wrap AROUND an F350?
rockaction
Footballguy
It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's how pliable my front end was. It was around the F350. Thankfully, the F350 and I were moving at like fifteen miles an hour or so when we hit, him a little more than me. My car wound up around his front bumper end. My car was...
concave.

My mother in law won't watch anything with swearing, violence, sex/innuendo (there is a religious component to this..), so our TV choices up here are limited.What show? I can almost guarantee you somebody here will just adore it
We've taken to watching The Chase at night which I like because I can show how smart I am and my mom also loves trivia.
Left to their own devices, the in-laws inevitably seem to land on Escape to the Country. At home, on her own, she watches kids shows/cartoons
To fill time we've put on the new season of Nailed It! - I won't pretend I haven't seen all past seasons and love it. It's hilarious.
Anyway, open to any G-rated TV suggestions.
