Chance to pick the #1 kick/kicker song is still out there for some high VBD.

Wait, is this the league with kickers?
I'm so confused.

Good time to answer some technical ?s

- League rules are posted in the OP, defense and K settings will just be Yahoo default
- We have a K and D slot but you don't have to draft a complete lineup, waivers will run once rosters get loaded
- You can't use your IR spot until the rosters are loaded into Yahoo and they have the correct designation,
- We will do $100 FAAB for waivers
- Trades can just automatically go through, no need for votes or waiting period or any of that.

Will yahoo allow you to roster more than 5 bench spots though (assuming you draft other positions than K/D in our 14 rounds)?

Yes, I've done it before where I drafted an extra RB and no K then right before the season starts, drop the RB and add a K to play.

Hey guys, thanks for the pick. Didn’t want to hold everybody up. We’ve got a heat wave and I’ve spent the past thirty-six hours with limited internet access and some sort of bug. I’ll make my next pick at 8.05. Thanks again.

Glad you’re back among the living. Hopefully we didn’t screw things up too much.

Nope. Good show. Thanks for helping things move along. I’m still without internet access on my desktop but am using 5G. I hope it holds.

8.04: QB Jared Goff, DET

Goff slinged the rock for the California Golden Bears, right up the street from the Berkeley record shop where this act formed:

Song: "The Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'Em) [Live on the King Biscuit Flower Hour]", The Greg Kihn Band

I was unable to find that exact performance on YouTube -- it might be on Spotify since there was a live album recorded and released from that KBFH appearance. So I linked to a roughly contemporary live version of the track.

7.10 - TANK BIGSBY, RB, JAX

Would have preferred Etienne, but I think there’s a decent chance that Bigsby will end up more productive

Songs for 6.05 (Khalil Shakir) and 7.12 (Michael Pittman)

Michael Pittman was born in Bakersfield, CA. Buck Owens created the “Bakersfield Sound,” a country offshoot that featured a rhythmic drum and a two-part harmony with a twangy guitar.

Act Naturally

Buck Owens · All-Time Greatest Hits, Vol. 1 · Song · 1990

Khalil Shakir went to high school in Murrieta, CA, which is the town bordering mine to the immediate northwest. Olivia Rodrigo is stunningly (to me) from that town while Finch (‘00s emo) is even more stunningly (to me) from my adopted hometown.

I actually wish there was a version on the soundtrack that didn't have them singing and just explored the music and melody more, it's a beautiful piece of music. But yeah if you don't like La La Land, that's cool.
