Guten Tag drones.
Let’s make this quick. I’ve just come back from a weekend in Vermont, where I ate and drank a lot and did not sleep much. I need to remedy the latter tonight, but I’ll not doubt be stewing over that C+ Yahoo just gave me for my fantasy football draft.
Just kidding. Yahoo giving me a C+ is pretty much all I could ask for, considering last year it gave itself an A- for auto drafting Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison Jr. early for me, and gave itself an especial pat on the back fro drafting Hollywood Brown, who proceeded to not play at all for 15 weeks. This year I went Derrick Henry, Kyren Williams, and Chubba Hubbard with the first three picks, so I’m really counting on a return to 1985 offensive thinking this year.
Ah yes, no one give a shit about my fantasy football team, nor should they.
This week’s topic comes from everyone favorite, and possibly only, Fulham supporter, Litre Cola. Taking a break from cursing out his favorite Lesser Footy team, at some point this season Litre suggested “songs you like that everyone else hates.”
The rules are very simple. Do you like the song? Does everyone around you not like the song? Congratulations, it’s a pick!
Litre didn’t give me a pick, or at least I didn’t write it down, so I guess the first pick goes to me. I am a man of impeccable taste, so I really can’t think of one off the top of my head. I’ll go with Ace Frehley’s ‘Back In The New York Groove‘ which I do like, but which I have noticed elicits groans from several people if I play it, and outright cursing if my brother is around.
The rest of you are on the clock.



Well, Venus put up a good fight, but the inevitable result is on the way.
Kenny Pickett to the Raiiiidersssss!
God, you can’t make this shit up…
That’s My Raiders!
To be fair, this was the only option. With Flacco, you got experience. With Gabriel, you got steadiness. With Sanders, you got potential. If all three fail, you got another high draft pick.
With Pickett, you got a 5th Round Pick.
WITH FLACCO YOU GOT MORE ELITE THAN YOU CAN SHAKE A DICK AT!

First day back to work after a week off and a weekend bender. That was absolute hell.
I honestly can’t remember which song I was speaking about I just know Hippo and I have an argument vis a vis I hate Cold War Kids, and he hates Radiohead.
Radiohead is Pink Floyd for autistic millennials.
I am Gen X, and not on the spectrum that I know of. Just really like hallucinogens in my 20s.
Lousy tunes and tons of confusion regarding a couple of Fantasy Football leagues-this might be the prototypical DFO thread.
So I’m now officially placed on work at home designation. No more wasting 4 hours in my car driving to that rat’s nest of DC. I burned all my pants and am looking for an office chair that won’t stick to my skin.
Congratulations!!
I’m 90% happy, kind of bummed that I won’t be seeing my coworkers. But hey, at least I’m not going to no longer get up at 500 am.
Co-workers are overrated

Both Draft Relevant and Mood Appropriate!
Can’t wait for them to go through this all over again next off season!
For the sake of my sanity and liver, I’ve allocated a 24 hour grace period where reality and common sense doesn’t apply when my teams actually does something.
Ok, hear me out.
I was stupid and liked this when it came out. Sourry.

My 6th and final pick. These guys get a lot of hate, but I like them.

I was thinking about this one too
Those guys were Spinal Tap before it was even a thing!
For the actual draft, I like my EDM and don’t really know anyone IRL that likes it, so basically my entire playlist.
so will draft this version ( h/t balls) of Sandstorm

I see that Sythony is in Calgary next week, would love to go see them, but just can’t justify flying out for a concert by meself.
I DO!!
Freezer Vodka FF update:
Invited @borisnow and @Col. Duke LaCross via email to the league using the emails given when you signed up to this site. Please let me know if you did not get the invite. or that you have even seen this. haha
Made balls co-commish. It only allows 1 commish at a time.
Rremoved the extra @BugEyedBoo team that had no history. If I got the wrong one, please re-join and remove the other one or let me know and I will do it
So, currently down to 12 teams, but with 2 pending invites.
Needed to spend a minute and figure out who is who and who go promoted and relegated and then match it all up. I was told there would be no maths.
Draft is Sept 2 at 2100 Eastern
had a busy weekend so wasn’t around much, so trying to get back up to speed
Great minds!!
This is what I came up with. I believe Jimbo took Brick’s place in the Lowratio League…
haha this looks like mine
“Heinous Fuckery” is Rev
The Schlitzstains= BGR
Free Thursday Night Points=sharky
Big Bag of Suck=Litre
I changed my name, I’m Tush Pushy Galore in the Freezer Vodka league
Brick is still in the Lowratio League.
Unless someone else named their team ‘The Brick Experience’
Brick is still in Lowratio League, even got an A+ in this draft.
I think BeerGuy got bounced somehow and Jimbo took that spot.
I think Shiba is for the people is Brocky.
nope, that’s BugEyedBoo
You are correct!
Gimli’s Groin Grabbers is me, though I need to update the name before the seasons starts. “The Hunters of Renfrow”, perhaps?
I like that
I play Brick week 1.
I have two Yahoo accounts somehow, which is annoying as fuck. Even more so since it was my own damn fault (as Jimmy Buffet would say). Anyway, the more active account is fine.
Duke has joined the FVFFL
wooohooo
Just waiting on Borisnow now meow.
I interrupt this draft to ask an Administrative Question for the Freezer Vodka League. Yes, being named Assistant Commissioner has me drunk with power.
Who was “War and Peace” last year in the Lowratio League? You got promoted yet you’re not in the league yet. Please let me know so I can send you an invite!
@Duke LaCross, I’ve sent you an email inviting you into the league.
War and Peace is Borisnow

It’s been years since I regularly played music around other people so not really sure what to go with here. This would be super easy for my neighbors though because everything they play loudly next to our common wall is crap
This is always on the list of hated Stones songs, but I love it. Keith Richards claims the wrong take was released, the one they wanted was great, and when they went back to find it, it was gone. He was taking copious amounts of LSD at the time, so who knows?

Oh I forgot to mention last night that my draft strategy that earned me a “D” was my abject refusal to draft players from bad teams.
You have no chance of doing well in a league unless you get a C or lower from Yahoo
Uh-oh.
I got a C+. Gonna be tough sledding.
stolen from twitter
REMEMBER:
If Yahoo/ESPN grade your draft an “A” – your team is absolutely fucked.
If Yahoo/ESPN grade your draft an “F” – you’re going to the ‘Ship.
This is the same AI that graded my old Madden NFL draft picks a C- for not selecting a QB despite having a 86 OVR QB and no safeties, free nor strong.

Who doesn’t love this song?!!
My mother, my wife, my ex-girlfriends, my ex-wife, and the church group I was part of during high school.
Many people cannot stand the psychadelic noodling of The Greatful Dead, especially 23 minutes of it.

Only 23 minutes? Pfft. They should call that version “Pitino’s Choice”.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-T6cZwvsV4
yes drive me nuts too was trapped in a 3 hr ride with the driver playing all live tapes the entire time and driving the car with his bong balanced between their knees and the steering wheel, just chose Greyhound instead the next time
The only thing worse than Deadheads are the Phish people. At least the Dead had a few good tunes!
It’s amazing how many times I’ve played songs from American Beauty or Europe ’72, been asked who it is, told them, and got “What? But.. but this is good!”
My 5th selection… I hope this one is visible…

Every once in a while I get the can’t view in your area blank screen on the music from Vevo or YouTube. I think it’s a copyright thing US vs EU.
This one worked
One of my favorite punk rock songs. More than one person, including one I am currently married to, (but not for long if keep blasting this during long car rides), has told me “that’s not music, it’s just noise”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVaPaJZnkaw&list=RDtVaPaJZnkaw&start_radio=1
It’s OK for all of those people to be wrong, because I know I’m right.

Love this song.

4th round, from an album most fans disliked, but I own and enjoy.

Thanks, buts yours is “unavailable” to me. Geezer must have ongoing litigation.
This is a horrible song but I associate it with playing pickup ball in the summer so it’s good.

always a good one to chase most people away

My anarcho-leftist children roll their eyes at me every time they hear this song so every time they get overruled by me (or their mother) regarding a family decison on restaurants or vacations or whatnot, I just ask them why the maples can’t be happy in their shade and they tell me to fuck off. It’s a totally healthy dynamic.
Outstanding Fathering right there folks…
I hate Rush so much.
You’ve just made some powerful enemies for life of America’s Hat!
[scoffs] Pfft. “Powerful”.
Oh no, the Canadiens are made at me. What’re they gonna do, hit me with a Big Turk?
No wait, that would actually hurt.

I’m sorry, my lovely neighbors to the north, but I hate them too. Geddy Lee’s voice is nails on the chalkboard for me.
I might have counted one woman in the Rush concert I went to .
“what about the voice of Geddy Lee how did it get so high? I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy”
https://youtu.be/Z5j4W2Y7RPQ?t=93
could do Pavement too but the missus likes Pavement alot.
I fucking hate Rush
Gonna hit you with my Bazooka ( Joe)

Over half an hour of jamming with no lyrics. A great song to put on the jukebox to get your money’s worth & piss everybody off.

My sister had all of thier albums.
I personally suspect that they had to be very conscious of thier foundation garments selection.
Anyways… In the third round… From the way back machine that GG and I obviously frequent…

Watched too many K-Tel commercials during reruns of Gilligan’s Island and Hogan’s Heroes back in the day and every 70s pop compilation I wanted (and never got) included some ABBA, so here goes: https://youtu.be/iUrzicaiRLU?si=7TcsILuBL9QcgRLX
/Found Blue Oyster Cult in 6th grade and went the standard route of Midwestern white boys thereafter!
I’ve got an ABBA spot myself… Don’t tell the others…
Your secret is safe with me, Fernando (oops!)
Come at me bro, I fucking love the Monkees! https://youtu.be/Sz-2jckjeHo?si=66NZAv-nvyDnTxGM
Easy there, Jane Goodall.
I have a nearly endless supply of 60’s bubblegum you guys will hate. I was born for this draft!

2. Another fairly unpopular album by a popular band.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mYoVkX3Kso
I realize that “Everybody Hurts” would be an idea R.E.M. selection but I don’t like that song any more than anybody else does. Same for “Shiny Happy People”.
I don’t hate Shiny Happy People. It’s certainly not my favorite song of theirs, but it doesn’t make me angry or anything.
Can’t speak to whether people hate this particular song, which I always crank up, but they sure do hate the band. Which is totally legitimate.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z92bmlcmyq0
I always remember a certain movie scene when I hear this song:
Saw them with 38 Special in 83. Crappy music, but a good show.
I would pay good money to be be let out of that show.
God, I loved annoying the boys when they were younger by blasting this.

The Ghost of tWBS picks Green Day’s Holiday
https://youtu.be/A1OqtIqzScI?si=zN6Wkatlx8JKhrst
I really should have named this draft after him.
https://youtu.be/4WwJ6OVSwkM?si=s6rnAJ0HjZszlr-I
Don’t know why but Wifey really dislikes this one… so I crank it up of course.
I’m assuming the patron saint of this draft is tWBS? Anyway, here’s a Nickelback song that I enjoy because I think it’s tongue in cheek fun!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmeUuoxyt_E
You’re allowed ONE Nickelback song, and this one is mine.
So many cameos!
1. This is going to have to be more album-oriented for me, but I’ll pick a representative song from each. With my first I’ll take “The Unforgettable Fire” by U2. Good song, and I’m pretty sure I like both it and the album 90% more than most folks.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTzmzrruHwc
I don’t know people who hate this song, but they’re incorrect if they exist.
