You'd be surprised. I had a coach pretty enamored of my prospects in high school so that he had me kick a bunch one afternoon and burned my leg for about two-three weeks. It wasn't right the rest of the year. It was . . . just . . . dead after a session of about forty-fifty kicks. I should have known, but had no freaking clue. Soccer all my life and never a problem (I was too slow and Polacky to get to the ball too much, I guess).

Olamide Zaccheus - CHI - WR
Zacchaeus Was A Wee Little Man - Frank McConnell

Enjoyed this apparently religious song a bunch
Ray Davis - RB - BUF
“Ray Mysterio” - The Alchemist, Westside Gunn, Conway The Machine

I like this slow, eerie, and admittedly vulgar track

Devin Neal - RB - NO
"New Orleans" - Silver Jews
Pretty angular, meta song about being lost as if one were a song (or lost like one were in a song) for such a straightforward player/song crow flying connection.
Crows mourn.
Dylan Sampson - RB - CLE
"Woolly Bully" - Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs
I forgot what it was like to drive with rock n' roll on the stereo. This hit the spot last night

Almost forgot to pick him back up after the bye. Third time I’ve picked him up this year. I’ll go for a cover of Otis Redding’s “I Can’t Turn You Loose.” This version is from a 1967 concert at Winchester Cathedral that was just released earlier this year. This is from early stages of the band, and before signed by Epic Records (their gigs at Winchester eventually led to that).

1) Jayden Higgins - WR - HOU
"Way To Act" - D.R.I. (Dirty Rotten Imbeciles)
D.R.I. is from Houston
2) Andrei Iosivas - WR - CIN
"Dressed In Black" - Teengenerate
Iosivas was born in Tokyo, which is where Teengenerate were from
Sammy, Fifi, Fink, Shoe, and Suck were the band members. Boys and girls, this is punk rock n' roll!
Two-for-one special:
"Benz Friendz (Whatchutola)" - Future ft. André 3000
open.spotify.com
André and Andrei are pronounced the same way (I think)
My God, I just listened to D.R.I. and that album up there. Not being emo, but that had to be a different life of mine. Holy smokes they couldn’t play. I missed that?
I enjoyed it regardless. Heh. Some of it is righteously bratty and sometimes just plain old righteous.

If I pick up Joey Slye any more, I’m going to ruin any chances for a future MAD31 of Sly. (I suppose I’m at least picking songs that would not necessarily make a 31.)
Pip's Invitation
Footballguy
There’s no rule that says songs picked here are ineligible for future MAD31s…
Eephus
Footballguy
The shark move would have been for another team to add Slye and use him as trade bait for DQ.
Pip's Invitation
Footballguy
Ask and ye shall receive. LaPorta ruled out.
Eephus
Footballguy
LaPorta doesn't really help because I don't have a backup TE.
But Irving and Pacheco have both been ruled out as well so I guess that helps a little

Maybe so. It looks like I’m up to 10 songs from Sly and the Family Stone and 1 from Little Sister on the playlist so far. Shticking ain’t easy.

My teams been real good. Lost Tyreek and James Conner (then also Benson, I even had the handcuff)! But just keep cooking.
Mostly dumb luck, the only thing I want credit for is being an Alec Pierce OG true believer. He's been incredible for me.

Thank you so much for that.
@Truebluey, we played last week (well, the week before this past Sun)! Good show. I would have written if I had known.

Having never done an FAAB league before, I wanted to track transactions and see how much money everyone had left. Then I saw it tabulated in league standings.
