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

[rockaction]

I'd join in if we could find a another team or partner up with somebody. If that doesn't work I'll just observe.

I can always use help if we can't find another.

You can take my place if you want.

 - do I need to make this decision?

ETA: I could surely be of use on the football side so not sure who would need that more? Simey I don't want to take your place if you really want to be in it.

 

[rockaction]

Sounds like Eephus needs the most football help. I'd love to see that pairing. I'll fly solo on this one. Just wanna make sure you're able to participate so the offer, of course, still stands.  

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

These are the more complete music rules

So, no music draft theme involved? Just draft songs from artists we like from required cities?  

 

[Ilov80s]

For the anti-superflex people worried that it is too many players, the superflex actually makes it better because it doubles the amount of QBs who are worth drafting, playing, etc.

We're on the same page with the football help. I think that's the way to go.

Total curveball. Had to rethink my typical drafting strategy. I like it.

It is 2018, you don't need to know anything. Just go to a website and draft off their list of ranked players.

 

[Ilov80s]

I agree and it is a fun twist. It really should be more common. It is silly for the most famous and important players to be kind of irrelevant in normal leagues. 

 

[Eephus]

Any song as long as the performer is from the NFL city or college area.  Preferably pick songs you like but if you have to draft a Justin Guarini song, it'll go down on your permanent record.

I'm still open to debate/rule changes, but this thread was started June 5 and we haven't been able to get anything off the ground, that's why I'm trying to just push this through with whatever seems as close to consensus in terms of what will work to actually get started picking music and magic footballers.

 

[rockaction]

I don't know what to do here. Draft for the player, or for the song. Tough conundrum.

Bonus points if your team name can reflect both a player and song you also drafted

Fire it up and give us the draft order!

I almost drafted Leonard Fournette last year so I could name my team Nothing But Fournettes. ESPN used that one later in the year, so I didn't feel so clever.  

 

[rockaction]

Fire it up and give us the draft order!

Yeah, let's do this.

I did not need to hear that.

Let's just go with what we have now and get this started.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I will take over for @simey if she is serious about bailing but if she remains I'll flip a coin and either partner up with @rockaction or @Eephus - a real Sophie's choice type of dilemma.

I have never done a Super-flex so I'm kind of excited to see how that goes.

I like the chaos of the lineups.  Lets goooo

Sure thing, GB. 

 

[Eephus]

I know Supergrass, Supertramp and Superdrag but what in the wide, wide world of sports is a superflex?

I'm sure this will need to be modified

 

[Ilov80s]

A spot where you can play a QB, RB, WR oir a TE.

 

[KarmaPolice]

What's WR?

 

[Eephus]

A spot where you can play a QB, RB, WR oir a TE.

Is there some reason why there's both a Flex and a Superflex? 

ETA:   seems like we'd be better off with an extra bench slot

 

[Ilov80s]

What's WR?

Shouldn't you be tallying movie votes right now 

 

[rockaction]

One's super?  

 

[Ilov80s]

Is there some reason why there's both a Flex and a Superflex? 

Not really- it's just what someone chose. 

 

[Bonzai]

It's basically a 2 QB league with the superflex.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Flex is usually just for a RB, WR or TE. A Superflex allows a QB to be played there also.

 

[KarmaPolice]

  still waiting on one slacker that replaced his 2006 movie with a 2005 one that we already covered.  

 

[Eephus]

How many Bench slots?

 

[Northern Voice]

How many Bench slots?

There are 9 at the moment and 11 starters. We can remove the 2nd flex if that's what people want. I was trying to open up more options for people to try fun strategies

 

[Northern Voice]

I'm going to add a couple extra IR spots as well.

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

Nah. Let’s keep it the way it’s set now. 

 

[KarmaPolice]

We drafting yet?

 

[Northern Voice]

Ok, I'm sticking with the settings, I like the 2 QB option with the super flex. I like the 5 WR or jumbo RB backfield option of the two flexes. I think it will make for some fun lineups during the year and some fun drafting here, that's really the only reason for it, I think it will be fun and make for good shtick. 

So, that said, is Dr. Octopus with rockaction, Eephus, or in place of simey?  Once I know who the 14 teams are, we can make a draft order and start this thing.

 

[El Floppo]

I absolutelydefinitelymust have a slow draft or I can't do it.

Yeah, we're planning on a slow draft. Maybe we can make summer songs picks in between when we have longer waits.

 

[Nick Vermeil]

Wait, what? This should be good. 

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Wait, what? This should be good. 

16 teams?

 

[Nick Vermeil]

16 teams?

Don’t expand for me. If you need a body though I’d do it.
