Summerpalooza VIII: Music + Fantasy Football WE ARE NOW DRAFTING (16 Viewers)

[Long Ball Larry]

We have a final format

Normal Option
1 point per 25 passing
1 point per 10 yards rushing or receiving
1 point per reception
6 points for all TDs
- 2 points for turnovers


1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 Flex (RB/WR/TE), TE, K, D
5 bench spots and 1 IR

This should keep the waiver wire open and active, prevent anyone from hoarding a position to block others.

Snake draft, right?

 

[Ilov80s]

@Ilov80s Is there any defensive scoring? Turnovers, sacks, points allowed per game? Length of kick? Also are there bonuses for over 100 yards rushing or passing or anything of that sort?

Yes definitely defensive and kicker scoring. I would say default yahoo settings. @Northern Voice doe that make sense? Can you post it when you set the league up?

[Truebluey]

I am in the middle of simplifying my life after my retirement last year, so I am going to keep my "theme" for this year simple. Has to be singable or danceable. That's it. Nothing esoteric this year.

With pick 1.1 in the Summerpalooza 2025 draft, the Anzac Diggers select:

Ja'Marr Chase WR Cincinnati Bengals

Welcome To The Jungle

Guns N' Roses · Appetite For Destruction · Song · 1987

I had Smokey Robinson and the Miracles’ “Going to a Go-Go” album in my list of 70 albums, and Smokey on my mind. I’ll go for the title track.

NV will get it all figured out out. No rush at the moment, we can get everyone in this week.

 

[kupcho1]

Could everyone please post their Yahoo! team name when they make their first pick? It would be helpful in tracking what's going on.

FTR, I'll probably forget to do this by the time it gets to me (a whole 6 picks from now), so I'll link mine now

kupcho1 = Cat Wizards

Nowi if you'll excuse me, I'm off to get my robe and wizard's hat so I can dominate effectively.

I don't open Yahoo! links since I don't know what they'll be, but in this case I made an exception.

I just changed my team name to Ilov80s to keep it easy for you. I'll keep it that way until the the draft finishes and the players are entered.

I am gonna have to use my commish override here and veto this pick because I want Jahmyr Gibbs.

 

[kupcho1]

Music Draft: For every player selected (both in the draft and in-season), you must also post a song that relates in some way to that player - leaving this fairly unrestricted, as long as you can make the connection, it can be based on birth/college/NFL city, name, number, lyrics, whatever

1.03 - Jahmyr Gibbs - RB, Det

Not picking again for quite a while, so I need to make sure to get someone who can . . .

Run Like Hell - Pink Floyd

I can understand a lack of effort in the later rounds, but why you'd go with that when the entire Freddie Gibbs catalog is still available is damn near unforgiveable.

Yeah I was thinking about going with one of his songs, but I was up early to check into my flight and was too groggy to figure out which one to use.

 

[Northern Voice]

OK, I believe simey (krista) and The Dreaded Marco are the only two from last year not back and

@zamboni @kupcho1 @rockaction @Yo Mama are the four who were not in last year

Those four can click this link to join the league, the rest of you should already be in
