Summerpalooza VIII: Music + Fantasy Football TEAMS ARE IN YAHOO, GOOD LUCK WEEK 1 (4 Viewers)

[Eephus]

I changed my team name again in tribute to the great Welsh singer/guitarist/producer Dave Edmunds who's currently dealing with some health issues.

Edmunds' fourth album was titled Trax on Wax 4 so my team this year is Stax on Jax 4 due to its excessive reliance on the Jacksonville passing game.

[Ilov80s]

I really don't care which kicker I get

This is why kickers should be banned from fantasy football. But that’s a topic for the political forum.

Good point, imagine someone being like "just take whatever QB for me I don't care who I get"

[Arizona] was going to be my free agent defense to replace Mixon on the roster if I'd gone with a position player in round 14.

Opening at New Orleans. A very nice slate of young/struggling QBs over the first six games -- Rattler, Bryce Young (we'll see), Cam Ward, Daniel Jones.

It's been a long time since things looked this bleak for the Saints. They haven't always made the playoffs but they managed to hang near .500 at least. I guess you'd have to go back until before Payton and Brees arrived on the scene.

Rattler is a much cooler name than Shough.

Song make-ups. These are two doozies. Going with YouTube stuff for those interested in hip hop history. The first might be the best freestyle ever. Universally loved. The second might be the most important hip-hop song of the aughts. It's still resonating today. It ruled the summer of '24. And then there's one for NV's emo/screamo list, just to give some background.

He bounced around a lot after leaving the Jets but is back home in NJ and with @Dr. Octopus.

If Pip doesn’t accept his invitation to make his pick in the next half hour, does anybody care if I make my pick? I’m taking a kicker and he already has one so it shouldn’t matter.

I’m going to head out for a bit to do some grilling for dinner and that usually takes me a while so I can drink lots of beers.

14.14 - Tyler Bass, PK Bills

Purely a bye week play since I don’t plan on rostering backup TE/K/D and also choosing a bye week with minimal other teams off.


Everyone in the stadium shouts “Yes!” when Bass (the name of a Fish) makes a kick from Long Distance. Hopefully he doesn’t reinjure his hip trying to Runaround after kicking a game winner. (Plus there is some pretty solid bass play in these songs too).

I haven't been tracking defenses, but looking at the song sheet, I only see 13 picked. But I'm last, right? Should I list the ones I see to find out which teams I'm missing?

I count 14 including Pip's Rams pick.

Well, since I don't see them chosen, I'll take the Green Bay Packers, and if I'm wrong, just let me know.

And for their song, since they traded for Micah Parsons, he's now

When I tried to log in as a collaborator, it said "link expired". Strange, because I can access the Spotify playlist fine. It lists Quixote as Creator and four collaborators.

Can someone explain how I get to add as a collaborator so I can add my songs? Like I'm 10 please. Or if there's a Youtube video for 10-year-olds, that'll work just fine. Actually, 10-year-olds are probably way too good at this kind of stuff. Like I'm 5.

@zamboni

Great track. I was trying to find this for one of my picks because I knew there was a RTJ and big boi track named something like this but for some reason I could not figure it out.

 

[kupcho1]

Draft stat time:

QB: 29
RB: 69
WR: 76
TE: 21
DF: 15
PK: 14
I think rock and LBL have some transactions to make

• BUF and HOU share most selections with 10. Saints had the fewest with 4.
• BUF, DEN, KCC and MIN all field a complete team (i.e., had at least 1 QB, RB, WR, TE, DF and PK selected)
• CLE was the last team from which a player was selected (Njoku at 6.02). PIT wasn't far ahead with Metcalf at 5.02

Good luck to everyone. The fun part has ended and now the slog begins.
