Summerpalooza: Now at QB for the Buffalo Bills...Goo Goo Dolls (1 Viewer)

[rockaction]

Your sister thinks that I'm a freak
She's been ignoring my calls, we haven't spoken in a week
I get so drunk that I can't speak
Yeah, nothing's working and the future's looking bleak

I got this one. 

I hope this draft happens.  

 

[Northern Voice]

I got this one. 

I hope this draft happens.  

It's happening. 

 

[Chaos Commish]

 

[Northern Voice]

Everyone in the world knows this one

Well it's too late, tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to carry each other

 

[Mister CIA]

I cant see the words for the fonts.  Wat are we doing here?

 

[Chaos Commish]

I said a la favella los colores
The streets are getting hotter
There is no water to put out the fire
Mi canto la esperanza

 

[rockaction]

In the afternoon, you're out on the stone and grass
And I'm sleeping on the balcony after class

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

I have no idea what you people are talking about.

Of course, I'm in.

We need to move on this, or it will become Winterpalooza.

 

[Ilov80s]

We need to move on this, or it will become Winterpalooza.

It's a slow draft

 

[Chaos Commish]

I'm losing faith

 

[Northern Voice]

Monday was a holiday up here and I took an extended long weekend. Organizing today, both drafts start next Monday. 

 

[Northern Voice]

No one has explicitly said they only want to do the FF part, So I believe the following are in for both the fantasy football and music draft:

NV

El Floppo

The Dreaded Marco

Ilov80s

Rockaction

Kupcho1

Mr. Ected

Simey

Mrs. Rannous

AhrnCityPahdner

Bonzai

JZilla

Karma Police

With music only participants

Eephus

Chaos Commish

Hov34

Opinions from people who play FF on this format (is it too many starters)?

1QB

2RB

3WR

1QB/RB/WR/TE (superflex)

1RB/WR/TE (standard flex)

1TE

1PK

1DF

0.5 point per reception 

4 point passing TD

All else Yahoo standard scoring. 

 

[Northern Voice]

I'm thinking

DRAFT A - 20 round Fantasy Football draft - rules and precise setup to be determined.

DRAFT B - 20 round Everything else we've talked about in here, set up to mimic the position scarcity of the fantasy football draft.

• 6 "songs of summer" selections - 1 each from 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s
  
• 5 "music that shaped me" selections 
  
• 4 @Eephus unstated classic rock shtick selections - this can be swapped out if it doesn't fit the shtick
  
• 4 alpha/omega selections - they can be based on any songs taken in the first 3 rounds (from any of the above categories)
  
• 1 song related to football in anyway - this can easily allow the football neutral or anti-football folks to shtick it up.
  

...and this craziness for the music option unless someone suggest otherwise (I kind of feel like we need some flex and superflex music categories to make it more similar/confusing). 

 

[Northern Voice]

Both drafts still open to join by the way. Football is at 13, so more would be easier for H2H

 

[Northern Voice]

Both leagues still open to join - football is at 13, ideally we'd get an even number for H2H. 

 

[Hov34]

I'd do the music, but want no part of magic football.

I don't need the superflex, but whatev. 

also- what's a DF?

Added.

Your likes spoke volumes

 

[Ilov80s]

I assume defense but I am curious what the abbreviation is. 

Also, got to go superflex IMO. Too many QBs just get relegated to WW fodder in regular leagues. 

 

[Eephus]

Music rules need some attention

 

[JZilla]

Football themed playlists?

You're welcome

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Whoa- that's a lot of starters.

Monday should be a fun day.  Are we drafting both things simultaneously?

Feel free to take over that side GB 

 

[JZilla]

How busy is this going to get next week?

I may let you get down to 12.  On the plus side it looks like I got a job!

I'll be traveling a bit and don't want to hold things up

Congrats!

Thanks bonz

 

[Eephus]

OK, here's my concept but it's probably for players only.  I might have to pick a side.

When you draft a pretend football player you must also pick a song (album?) performed by artist(s) who either:

1. Is from his NFL city.
   
2. is from within 100 miles of his college
   

Lineage can be traced from being born there, or beginning their career there so Joe Strummer would be eligible for either Ankara or London.  We'll use Wikipedia as the authoritative source. 

I haven't followed the NFL for about five years so I have no idea if these rules will even work.   I'm more a Packer fan than a football fan these days so we'll give them territorial rights to Milwaukee.

 

[Bonzai]

I like #1.

  Sweet Jeebus.  

Also - we aren't paying for this FF stuff are we?  I haven't looked at stuff, and just might be drafting NFL players based on the artist, not vice versa...

 

[KarmaPolice]

Also, I am assuming this is just for any member of a band too, right?  

 

[Eephus]

Updated with clarifications

OK, here's my concept but it's probably for players only.  I might have to pick a side.

When you draft a pretend football player you must also pick a song (album?) performed by an artist (solo or band) who can trace origins to either:

1. The player's NFL city. -OR-
   
2. His college (within a 100 mile radius)
   

So if you picked Kevin Durant, you'd also need to pick a song by a performer from Oakland or within 100 miles of Austin.

Lineage can be traced from being born there, or beginning their career there so Joe Strummer would be eligible for either Ankara or London.  We'll use Wikipedia as the authoritative source. 

I haven't followed the NFL for about five years so I have no idea if these rules will even work.  

The fine print:

I'm more a Packer fan than a football fan these days so we'll give them territorial rights to Milwaukee.

NFL team representation is by their named city e.g. New York, San Francisco rather than E. Rutherford or Santa Clara

Teams named after states or regions get their home city, not the entire state, e.g. Boston, Nashville

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Could we add their birthplace?  Some of those colleges are in West Podunk.

 

[Northern Voice]

  Sweet Jeebus.  

Also - we aren't paying for this FF stuff are we?  I haven't looked at stuff, and just might be drafting NFL players based on the artist, not vice versa...

I'm assuming free league for bragging rights and if people want to play for money, can always do side bets or something.

I set up a Yahoo league here https://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/1192523/invitation?key=996d5e6daa58f7ad&ikey=22a6234c05a20b45

 

[KarmaPolice]

Any rules for team names? (sorry if I am asking questions already answered)

Just have to be music related. I think in this early stage they can be placeholders, I plan on changing mine when I feel more creative. 

 

[dal_boys_phan]

This sounds like an awesome concept, but I am going to be a lurker for this draft.

Starting a new job on Monday, which will probably take up a sizeable portion of the commute for the foreseeable future.

Please continue to tag me when we rip Counting Crows though.
