I'm at the football draft (what?) / I'm at the music draft (what?) / I'm at the combination football draft and music draft

Draft Tracker / Google Sheet


Draft Rules

• Football Draft: A slow, snake draft - Probably starting next Monday but sooner if we fill up and the nerds get restless
• Music Draft: For every player selected, you must also post a song that relates in some way to that player - leaving this fairly unrestricted, as long as you can make the connection, it can be based on birth/college/NFL city, name, number, lyrics, whatever...

League Rules

• 14 teams
• QB, WR, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, W/R/T, K, DEF w/ 6 bench spots, 1 IR spot
• Yahoo site
• FAAB w/ $100 in pretend units
• 0.5 PPR scoring, 4 pt passing TD, everything else fairly standard
• Six team playoffs
• No fees, no prize but pride. In spite of the low/no stakes, Summerpalooza is a competitive and fun league with a very active waiver wire.

[Eephus]

Reserved

 

[Eephus]

I probably overdid it

 

[Truebluey]

Possibly less if we decide to go with 12

We could even do a 10 team league.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Twelve is way better.

 

[Eephus]

We could even do a 10 team league.

We're better than that

 

[simey]

I emailed Dr. Octopus. He probably won't come back, but I told him to come out and play, anyway. I hope he does.

 

[simey]

Dr. Octopus said to mark him down as IN!! He will check in tomorrow.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Dr. Octopus said to mark him down as IN!! He will check in tomorrow.

 

[Raging weasel]

I'll play again

 

[Eephus]

That puts us at eleven.

Twelve if @Long Ball Larry or @rockaction are in.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Ok, fine I will do it and win again

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Thus solving the cartoon peril.

 

[Eephus]

So it's question time

stick with twelve or lobby for two more?

If we're going with twelve, superflex or no?

 

[Ilov80s]

So it's question time

If we're going with twelve, superflex or no?

Fine either way but I do think if we go 12, superflex is fun.

 

[Matheson]

:littlefrightenedrabbitavatar:

or whatever we do for black dot these days.

 

[Matheson]

Agreed. I love deep leagues so 14 or 16 again would be cool and my preference if there's interest but if we do 12 I'd vote in favor of Superflex

 

[Don Quixote]

If you find another and want to extend to 14, I could potentially join. If don’t want to go to 14 or can’t find a second, no problem and no offense taken, as enough other leagues to keep me going. Rock should be able to confirm that I’m solid on the FF piece, as I commish a dynasty league that we’re in together (redraft obviously more of a crapshoot though).

I’m a bit less certain on the music, as I just spent about 15 minutes scratching my head on a song that could work if I drafted a certain player (and my knowledge of Jorge Ben, etc probably not helpful here). But maybe would figure it out if and as I get into it.

 

[Eephus]

@rockaction are you willing and able to be #14 or should we look elsewhere?

 

[rockaction]

I can definitely vouch for Mr. Don Quixote (he’s an awesome owner and won our dynasty league championship last year—I’ve also noticed he’s wicked solid with music). Don is a commissioner at Zealots, which is a place pretty knowledgeable people play, myself somewhat half-included/excluded. Heh.

I’m willing to be 14. I think plinko got an invite so we can fight it out if he decides to participate. I have noooo problem either way. I’ll definitely either play or not play depending on league needs and won’t be hurt either way. Seriously.

But yeah, Don is also a fine gentleman and a good person to talk with and also to talk music with, both of which are kind of key here. I’ve personally had nothing but really good experiences interacting with him on and off the boards.

Hope that’s an adequate rec.

Peace, folks.

It's a free league

 

[rockaction]

It's a free league

Just taking the opportunity to blow a lil’ smoke the way of a guy who seems pretty solid by all indications. I have enjoyed being in my league with Don.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I emailed Dr. Octopus. He probably won't come back, but I told him to come out and play, anyway. I hope he does.

Thanks for the message simey. It moved me to return from my self imposed vacation. I will gladly participate in this draft.

I missed the people that make up this league and the music drafts very much. With the said I'll likely limit myself to this thread, check out the music countdown, and perhaps the Jets thread. While I no longer care about the circumstances that caused me to want to leave, I am very conscious of the time suck this site was for me and how I spent my time more productively while I was gone (no offense intended for those that spend time here).

I'm ready to draft and listen to some music. Thanks again simey - and everyone else for your support over the years.

IN FOR VII

Doug B

Just confirmed that I've seen this thread and that I'm still in. Been on FBG somewhat less than usual due to work and such, but ready for Number 7 to fire up

 

[Matheson]

Did we @The Dreaded Marco ? I know he missed last year but it might have been a timing thing.

We can probably find a 16th if he and or Judd are in (or they could be 15/16 if they're both back.

 

[Matheson]

Plinkozilla is out this year.

Like rockaction, I can join if you need another to make an even number. I haven't been around as much lately either due to hell at work and some unforeseen family matters. But if it's a slow draft I could swing it. I always enjoy this league when I've played in the past.

 

[dkp993]

So I guess I got de-invited for this year. Always knew my time with the cool kids was probably short-lived.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

This league usually just keeps moving the number of teams up as people want in so I think you're good.

 

[Eephus]

We're at 16 now

 

[Eephus]

Should we reduce the number of bench spots from 6 to 5?

This would give the draft an uneven number of rounds (or we can ditch kickers)

 

[simey]

We're at 16 now

I thought rock and Marco were more in the camp of "will play if needed for the numbers."

 

[Matheson]

16 with dkp, rock and Marco?

 

[Matheson]

14 if rock and Marco don't really want to.

 

[Matheson]

So I guess I got de-invited for this year. Always knew my time with the cool kids was probably short-lived.

I blame Northern Voice

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

So I guess I got de-invited for this year. Always knew my time with the cool kids was probably short-lived.

Ill drop out if dkp wants to play.

I’m fine being a last minute add if needed to make an even number.

Thanks Marco but I’m good. Just busting everyone’s chops. Like Rock I’m actually buried this year and would struggle to make it fit.

 

[Eephus]

Back to 15

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

One potato, two potato, three potato, four...

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

I’m fine being a last minute add if needed to make an even number.

I’m also fine being a last minute drop, if needed, to even it up—-I’m very flexible with this

Last season was my first in 33 years that I didn’t have a single FF team and I haven’t done any prep for this season so I’d be a bit rusty. But I’d like to play if needed.

 

[rockaction]

I’m also really flexible. Like I said, no problems here either way. Not being a martyr or anything.

I’ll think I ought to let Marco go unless dkp wants to play. I think that’s the best both for the league and for me, also, so nobody sweat it. Please.

 

[rockaction]

I honestly just want y’all to have to a good time and don’t even have it in me this year. Most of us have taken a year off, so I don’t see how I’ll be any different.

Mind if I comment as it moves along? That would be a nice happy medium.

 

[Eephus]

How about a @The Dreaded Marco x @rockaction superteam?

 

[dkp993]

@rockaction, as usual, I’d prefer if you didn’t comment.

 

[simey]

rock has expressed many times that he doesn't really want to do it this year. Let's respect that, and dkp also said he would struggle to make it fit. Let's move forward with Marco, and that gives us 14.

 

[Matheson]

Yep, that works but if people are just being polite and do want to play, we could have everyone in and go 16 no problem, no one has to join or drop. It really comes down to who really wants to be in and we'll make it work either way but I always say the more the merrier.

 

[rockaction]

@rockaction, as usual, I’d prefer if you didn’t comment.

If you would like to play, I will gladly play. Like I said, just trying to make this work for everybody. Seriously, what’s in your gut, dkp? Think about what you’d like to do. Don’t worry about me either way.

 

[rockaction]

I am fine either way. I don’t want to see anybody uninvited. I’m absolutely fine dropping out or playing. Is it okay if we wait on dkp to see? If he gets back w/in the timeframe of tonight, I’d say go with what he wants.

@dkp993

What are your thoughts?

eta for everybody* I think give it until the end of the night and possibly first thing tmrw, if not then proceed with Marco and fourteen. Thanks for your patience!

 

[rockaction]

How about a @The Dreaded Marco x @rockaction superteam?

I didn’t see this. Love Marco, but I’ve seen the troubles of joint ownership and I can tend to be overbearing with moves. I’ll rankle somebody in some way. Best to leave me as an individual. Thanks for the thought.
