2.14 - Tee Higgins, WR Cin
Looks like they’ll need to score 50+ points each week to have a chance. Song to come in a few.
@Don Quixote is up if he’s up

That takes some guts. Fabreecy?

Treasure those moments with her. Trust me, I'm a three-time league champion.

Got bored the other night and started looking at statuses for some reason and saw your "greatest daughter ever" to ditkaburgers. Nice, man. Is that where you get your tolerance for boy bands like The Beatles?
Yo Mama
Footballguy
Yeah it’s her last year at school, so needless to say she got me to pay for whatever she wanted at various stores around town.

Motivated by two things, really.
That takes some guts. Fabreecy?
1. I am keeping Braelon Allen in my auction league. This way at least one team takes advantage of however this shakes out. And if Hall gets traded to become RB1 somewhere else, both do.
2. I think Aaron Glenn, as many defensive HCs do, wants a running-and-defense team, and I expect a lot of rushing volume. And a QB who can run as well as Fields does creates a lot of opportunities for their RBs. I would not be surprised if Glenn wants Hall to be his Gibbs and Allen to be his Montgomery.

Ok I’m loopy after a crazy long day, but the hotel tv only has 5 tv stations and 3 are cable news so time to pick a song.
For Tee’s song, we’ll go with:
The Special Two by Missy Higgins
He may be the WR2 on his team, but Tee is so special that he is a WR1 on our fantasy teams and also in our hearts.

Yeah, you diversify and Justin Fields stretches defenses and leaves them in bad situations.

ditkaburgers went max boy bands last weekend while I was up in the North Woods. She gave Mrs. Eephus a late birthday present of a girls trip to Vegas to see the Backstreet Boys perform at The Sphere. They flew in at 3:30PM Saturday, had an early dinner and went to the show. Afterwards they had the $9.99 steak and eggs breakfast special at Ellis Island before heading back to the airport for a 6AM flight. It's a miracle that Mrs. Eephus survived that long with a bag that met the Sphere's minimal bag policy but they had a great time on their whirlwind tour without any major mishaps
In related single-named ladies adjacent news, I was able to meet up with my son in Wisconsin for the first time since April 2024. He'd gotten a new tattoo since I last saw him: the word "Fergalicious" in script on the inside of his right forearm. I had more important things to ask him about so I don't know if he lost a bet or something.

That takes an almost preternatural restraint and I don't know if I could have done that if I didn't know the person at all. I need to know, and I think I'd have been moved to ask. Vive la differance! That ditkaburgers took your wife to the show is sweet and wonderful. It's also ironic in that your daughter and your wife seemed to have switched places with my nephew and I only to listen the same band at similar times. While your wife and daughter were treated to the Backstreet Boys at The Sphere, my nephew and I got a full taste of them at Oracle Park, where your home rooting interest took on Tampa Bay, and where the Backstreet Boys won the democratic vote for the song to be played after the top of the eighth over the park's sound system.

I figure ditkaburgers has a better chance of getting the story behind his tattoo; I probably would have just gotten the PG version especially with other family members in the cabin. Ironically, one of my four tattoos are the letters PG for Mrs. Eephus' initials, done in the font and rectangular style of the MPAA film rating. So I'm no parental example.
The Giants have been crappier than the Backstreet Boys.

Flying to Vegas in a few hours (no WiFi) and there until Saturday morning. Will be online sporadically through the weekend but will try not to hold things up when I’m on the clock.

Maybe I missed it, bud, but I think Eephus and Mrs. R. are talking about pick distance and not your sleeping proclivities. I don’t think anybody even thought to complain about you. Maybe I missed it. Sorry if I did.
eta* that would be so far out of each one’s character and I can’t see any other posts that would even imply it. Normally I’d not jump in but don’t want hard feelings. Let me shoulder those. I’m good at it.

With pick 2.16 in the 2025 Summerpalooza Draft,
the Anzac Diggers select Mike Evans, WR, Tampa Bay
Ten Years After is the obvious band choice for Big Mike. For a song, let's go with their legendary Woodstock performance: "I'm Going Home"

What rock said. I had no idea what you were referring to at all.

There is a Google sheet set up and if you have Google drive you'll see it in your list of shared files. There's a nice app for Sheets so you can follow along once you do get Wifi. Much easier than wading through our nonsense.

Oh no, it most assuredly was about how long he was taking to pick.

Hey Ilov, you’re 3.05. You wrote 3.04. You’re in order but numbered incorrectly.

Toss up here but I'm pretty sure an emo band has never come out of the other guy's city and these guys are one of the most essential bands in the genre, so pretty easy tie breaker.

I missed that you picked Jawbreaker. You know what’s weirder personally? It Is that not only did the punks love them in the ‘90s and I loved punk then, but also that they had an emo revival in the aughts and I loved emo but never got into them either time.
I have listened to more Jets To Brazil than Jawbreaker during my time on earth. I’d have figured that would be different somehow.
