I didn't do anything for the schedule so it's just whatever Yahoo does, I don't know if we need to do anything else? I think with 16 teams/14 team week regular season everyone plays all teams but one, so the only real advantage goes to whatever team doesn't end up having to face me...

There's 18 weeks to the season. Why not a 15 game regular season (everyone plays everyone once) and then 3 week playoff.

Because week 18 is awful for good players sitting.

Sure, but that's why good team management is important. In any event, your call although I will say that everyone benefits by playing everyone else while on 1/8 of the league will care one way or the other in the championship.

Yeah, I don't think we can use week 18, we haven't in past years and if I took Josh Allen, for example, early and now all of a sudden week 18 matters, I wouldn't be too happy.

Yeah, I don't think we can use week 17, we haven't in past years and if I took Josh Allen, for example, early and now all of a sudden week 18 matters, I wouldn't be too happy.

:lmao: I didn't realize you actually do have Josh Allen but my point remains.

I'm mainly here for the music and am just looking to have fun. Hell, I reached (per Yahoo!) for Jordan Love because I wanted a good song and team name. In the unlikely event I make the championship game, I wouldn't care one way or the other. It would be nice to play everyone once though.

And I'm probably a lone voice on this one given the thousands of dollars at stake. :D

Thanks for running the league.

ETA: Yahoo! gave me a C+ grade, projected 4th place finish at 9-5. That's much better than a team selected based on the music should fare.
 
Roster looks good on the site. I got an A draft rating and am projected to finish 3rd at 10-4.

Best pick - Aiyuk
Worst pick - Chubb
 
Yahoo AI draft analysis is pretty sad. Better than ChatGPT because at least it knows what year it is, but still pretty unininspiring.

Seems like Yahoo grades are based on how closely you drafted to their rankings. Which means that it very well could be that the teams it thinks are worst are actually the best.

I think it pretty much nailed my effort. I tried to compensate for dynasty brain (I go young and very risky) and instead I went for old and hurt with limited ceiling. Sheesh.

I assume it killed you for no kicker/defense we well which skews it all a bit?

Chiefs have some opportunity at WR to start off the season. Also, every KC game seems to be at night this year.

I can't believe someone got sniped on free agents.

Especially when the waivers ran overnight I think?

We all just decided at the same time on a Sunday afternoon that "hey, why don't we go look at some Yahoo free agents for our guys on IR"
 
I've started reading Such Great Heights by Chris Deville.

It's absolute catnip to me because it traces indie rock from 90s to present. There's a playlist with every chapter.

He's one of the editors/owners? of Stereogum which is my favourite current (last standing?) really great indie site, the music place I subscribe to because I think they're great.

I'm only on chapter two but I feel very called out. From the over reliance on Pitchfork (RIP @Pitchfork, you were my favourite alias) to bands blowing up because they were on The O.C., I am reliving my early 20s right now.

I don't really have a point other than I guess some music publications should have some financial support so they don't all go away I guess, so check out this book?

I am a bit high....

This is the perfect place for it. I naturally love to read about music and liked those publications. In retrospect, my thoughts turn towards taking a one less thing for granted. Were those publications actually good for music or did they serve more as a stultifying gatekeeping function not just in terms of who got heard but what kind of music was acceptable, and sadly, what kind of person was acceptable also? I think it wound up with its own orthodoxy in sound and type of person welcome.

I think that became more perceptible in the later aughts with the weird poptimism those publications embraced, as if the poptimist vs. rockist debates were really going to be, in a way, defining. What started as a lark with the gorilla pissing to the Jet song review became like a weird yet consistently expository position and it felt like the initial burst of “Hey! This is music and we cool!” had been (inevitably, I guess) replaced with more fencing on the beach to keep the intellectual riff-raff away.

But that’s just off-the-cuff on my phone. It’s a cool memory to think about having a bunch of writers and websites dedicated to an interest you share. I remember the beginning of the aughts and the mid-aughts and it played a large role in my life (early thirties so a touch older) also. I miss its infancy but I was too old then to have a nostalgia lens now, so the latter part I could probably pass on.

Great album.

Probably didn't need to post when you're talking about a book you're enjoying and that's my conclusion about P'fork and others. Noted.

He’s always been on. I’ve had Spotify for six years and have always listened to him.
