Summerpalooza V -- Playoffs Over -- Eephus Is Now Two-Time Summerpalooza Champion (1 Viewer)

[Pip's Invitation]

Doug selects

11.02 - Marlon Mack - HOU RB

Why?

He got cut today.

 

[rockaction]

He got cut today.

I looked after you frowned. I was scared that he was a double pick in Summerpalooza. I would have had no idea how to unwind that.

 

[Eephus]

He got cut today.

Mack might get a look somewhere else but it probably won't be in as promising a spot as Houston.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

If anything that means the third-round pick of Pierce in this draft has a better chance of paying off.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

14.05
Laviska Shenault, WR formerly Jacksonville and just traded to Carolina

Jacksonville - American Aquarium

Make up song picks, whew, busy day

Lets circle back to yesterday's conversation about the 2002 Trail of Dead / Queens of the Stone Age tour w @Pip's Invitation

And the late great Mark Lanegan, whose book "Devil in a Coma" I just finished last night right before my pick came up

12.16 Tyler Higbee, LA Rams
Perfect chance .. SoCal desert monsters, and Lanegan was in LA by this time as well, living hand to mouth, painting Hollywood sets and ****

Song for the Dead -- and look.. it's that man from the BackBeat crew, on the kit
(those of us who saw them on the US tour were not so lucky)

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

You're a bigger person than I. I'm still mad at Ringo for "It Don't Come Easy."

Now, I'm going to love you
'Til the heavens stop the rain
I'm going to love you
'Til the stars fall from the sky
For you and I

If I got twitchy every time this happened, I'd have St Vitus dance.

 

[rockaction]

Hey, dkp sent me a list but it was for Round 13. That said, I'm going to extrapolate because he seems truly not to care and might even like this. This was one of the teams listed to select if not a tight end in Round 13, so I'm assuming that means this isn't too early.

dkp selects

14.06 - L.A. Rams D/ST

[plinko]

Make up part deux

Mike Gesicki, Jersey dude

I'm not sure what's happening down there between this guy and his team, but here's New Jersey's SKID ROW with Makin' A Mess

 

[plinko]

Oh I see the defense run I tried to start four rounds ago is finally taking shape

LOL. I thought of you when I posted this thinking you wouldn't be so lonely.

 

[rockaction]

That third-round pick had a better chance of paying off when they sat him for the last preseason game. That meant "starter" right there.

Have you heard anything else from Ticketmonster?

 

[rockaction]

Ticketmonster. LOL.

Good work, simey. That cracked me up.

Sorry again, k4, for whatever bureaucratic hell you're in. If it makes you feel any better, my mother can't cancel HBO from DirecTV (long bureaucratic hell story) and they keep charging her for it. We're going to have to contact the Better Business Bureau about it. They've promised to fix it, to call, etc. Nothing. It's ridiculous and she's spent a total of more than sixteen hours on the phone with them, which is ridiculous. They tell her they can't cancel it because of a ticket on their end or something. They always remark how calm she is about it. I'm getting angry just typing this.

Anyway, that's part of why I hate corporate bureaucracies.

 

[Eephus]

I will take Jarvis Landry and Bills D .. songs to come

If you're trying to start a positional run, it helps to mention that you're making the pick to avoid being caught at the end of the run.

I just did that with QBs in the Shining Path Memorial. Then I took a receiver about 20 spots above FBG's ranking and ADP because...well...because a myriad of reasons I won't bore people with.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

My auction draft is starting soon and I'll be unavailable all night. I sent a pick and a backup to @rockaction

 

[Northern Voice]

I can't believe this guy is only 25

14.07 - Ronald Jones, RB, KC

 

[krista4]

Break a leg! Or whatever is the appropriate phrase here!

 

[Eephus]

I tried to spark QB runs twice in this draft. It sort of worked too. You have to do it casually though

The WR run cleared out the guys I knew about so I'll start a QB run and research some more receivers.

With 22 picks until my twelfth rounder, I don't want to be stuck at the end of a backup QB run.

I didn't notice it the first time you did it, but I certainly did the second!

Pip in a sec

Pip selects K.J. Hamler, DEN

I think. He chose "K.J. Osborn, Den" but Osborn has already been selected. I'm using Occam's razor here.

14.09 Jamison Crowder WR BUF

[krista4]

Hurry up, Eephus is itching to snipe us for the seventh time!

 

[rockaction]

Ilov has dinner and a movie, most likely. I envy that guy. I've got Haribo™, bubly™, and this draft. Switch places, ilov?

 

[Ilov80s]

MAKE UP PICK MUSIC
13.07 RB Snoop Conner Jags

The Next Episode by Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg

14.10 Trey Sermon 49ers

Music by Eric Sermon

@Truebluey

 

[rockaction]

Man, Ronald Jones and now Trey Sermon. It's like they've raided my dynasty team for longshots. Hwarf. I actually roster both and was going to pick one in this round. Time for Plan B!

I thought Hamler was already gone. Friggin Robbie Anderson. Sigh.

I like Bubly. My favorite is the cherry.

 

[rockaction]

It isn't too bad, actually. I'm having no problem drinking it, and it satisfies the need for a drink in my hand. (Once I quit drinking alcohol, I needed a nervous habit replacement.)

I am also a bubble water fan. Got some Bubly at home as well. Pretty refreshing stuff imo.

Correct. Hamler. Sorry about that.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Herbert, Saquon and Zeke in the auction so far to go with my keepers of Kupp, Higgins, A Robinson and Kittle. 10-team PPR Superflex, pass TDs 6.

My sentimental last rounder Easop Winston Jr. was waived by the Browns

Keep living, it’s all gone make sense in the end

 

[Eephus]

I like Polar's orange-vanilla flavor. It has the added bonus that nobody else in the house likes it so I can drink them all myself.

I had some orange-grapefruit Aha water when I was in Wisconsin and would definitely buy some more if I find it on sale.

We mostly just go through the 24 packs of the unflavored store brand fizzy water.

Far healthier.

Polar's cranberry lime is my favorite from that company.

Topo Chico's Twist of Grapefruit is my overall #1 fizzy water, though.

We try all different brands and flavors. I guess I'm not picky because I find them all pretty decent. My favorite this summer has been Polar Tart Cherry Limeade.

 

[Truebluey]

Hmmm, I was hoping for one of Isaiah Likely or Isaiah Spiller to survive this round, I pondered both before choosing Chandler last round. Too many sharks in this pool it seems.

So I will take Ameer Abdullah, hoping for a late-career resurgence with the Raiders.

14. 11 Ameer Abdullah RB Las Vegas Raiders

Love the Cherry Limeade.

Sleeper pick: Aha's Peach Honey flavor.

ETA: Anything blended with lime or lemon is usually great. Gives them good zip.

Go ahead and break our two hearts, which might or might not be beating as one.

True story: We measure "hate" in our home based on my hatred of peaches. Like, if my wife exclaims, "Oh I HATE earwigs!!" my son will ask "Do you hate them more than Dad hates peaches?" Or if my son complains "I HATE ap Bio" I will ask if he hates it more than I hate peaches.

And it's not really that I hate peaches purr Say, it's more that I hate peach FLAVORING. Which stems from being offered/ordering iced tea in my youth and receiving peach iced tea which made me want to gag and scream at the same time. Just such treacle. Like Snapple Peach Iced Tea can take a long walk off of a short pier. So, yeah...tldr, I hate peaches. Vile, disgusting fruit.
