MBBRL 2016 SUICIDE DRAFT

[Chef99]

Loving the concert posts, you guys have seen some great bands!

I'll throw a few of mine in: Seen Neil Young 4 times, twice on the Rust Never Sleeps tour. I had always been a huge fan of his and when he went "pseudo punk" I thought it was the coolest thing ever.

I think the best show I have ever seen was Pink Floyd on the Animals tour at the Garden. When the show opened and you saw the giant pig among other animals floating in space, you just knew it was going to be an eventful night.

Saw Fleetwood Mac during their Rumours tour. And not with a chick. My friends and I were madly in love with Stevie Nicks back then.

Living on the Jersey shore, I went to clubs all the time, the most notable being the Stone Pony. But the coolest moment I ever had was while watching David Johansen at a place in Asbury Park called the Fast Lane. In the middle of his set, out steps Bruce Springsteen to jam on 'Personality Crisis'. I will never forget it.

Oh, and I also saw Sly and the Family Stone at the Fast Lane. Sly was not...at his peak at the time. Didn't matter, when they played 'I Want To Take You Higher', the roof blew off the place. Great times.

I was going to ask for a definition but found this:

My parents used to work the March of Dimes Walk-A-Thon down at the beach. One year the free concert they had was Loverboy. Nothing special until you think about the fact that this was about four years before they made it.

 

[Sam Sportboy]

You have obviously never met my sister, and her overinflated view of herself.

Hmmmmm..................wonder if you might be my long lost brother?

 

[TKOSpikes]

I've seen The Tragically Hip six times. That's about it. Sloan once, and a few others not really worth mentioning.

Hip never took in the US, I don't get it.

[obxyankeefan]

Best show was Triumph. They only had a few good songs, but were great on stage.

Oxy came out for an encore and played War Pigs. Metallic came out with them dressed in diapers and played the song with Ozzy and his band.

Maybe I need some sleep? Putting the notes together for the FA article. This is the way we drafted the QB. I'm sure we all support our choices and even our backups. But do you see anything out of the ordinary with this list?

If everything looks good, I may scrap the QB from the discussion and just focus on RB and WR.

And while we're at it... this is middle-to-late round WR picks. Our disagreements tended to diminish once we got our starters. Anything jump out at you here? We need some controversy. I'll go through the rest of this thread tomorrow.

Hey Chef I have seen Neil at least 8 times and Rust was my fave tour good ol raunchy Neil

David Johansen was great he played a small.club up here as well

as for Floyd always special and did you know that your fave show the Animals tour played the big owe in MTL
Montreal is a monster Floyd town
Roger has been quoted in saying the night in MTL was the inspiration for The Wall
During Pigs On The Wing part 2 during that oh so quiet acoustic end to side two a few guys in the front row were making too much noise
Roger yelled down at them and said Shut The Fuck Up
He then spat on them
It was there and then he realized that they had grown too big and they had created a wall between themselves and their audience
It was the last show of the tour and 80000 of us jammed into the Big O
When the show ended we all refused to leave and even as they were dismantling the props the lights etc
Mason Waters and Wright came back out and did an impromptu blues jam without Gilmour

The tour before in Montreal they also did an unscheduled encore by coming back out maybe 20 minutes after the planned encore

They played Shine On Your Crazy Diamond. with all The Forum's lights on even though they had already preformed that same 20 minute piece earlier that evening

Treff awesome write ups
did I miss something besides the kiss of death
I read your vote of confidence but never read my team review

The reviews are fantastic.

Had me reading with only one eye on the glorified figure skaters

Seriously good stuff

Turn Me Loose
I use to see them in my local bar

Well shoot. .must've skipped yours when posting..

My preface for Barilko's team. ..he's the team to beat, period.
Firstly, hands down the best starting WR trio in the league. Julio, AJ Green, and my personal fav, Benji. Simply outstanding first 3 picks imho. But then he follows it up with quality, value based picks at RB, Lat. Murray- sure he has some passing game issues, but in the 4th round with this bunch, as good as it can possibly get. Ajayi in the 5th. I can't stand the Phins, and think their offense is a borderline joke, but I don't see the backfield confusion that some others do. Ajayi has the job until further notice. Langford, again, another guy I personally wouldn't go after, but in the 6th? Only way he could've done better by me, would've been with Gore. Jordan Matthews, not a guy I would want starting every week, but with this lineup, he won't be. Great pick for that bye week fill in. Little reach on the Chef's defense, but when your starting wides, RB's and their first 2 backups are already on board, why not? But I would've gone Carolina or Houston over KC, personally. Ladarius Green is one of only 3 minor issues I see with this team. I think he's got some work ethic/focus problems that will manifest quickly while playing third fiddle or worse in that system. The Rams are the other issue #2. Granted those first 4 wides are great, the first 3 RB'S are tight, but you'll always need more. No need for a second D in this format, an entire D never gets hurt, and punting one week of DST points isn't going to kill anyone in the long run. Forsett would've been beautiful here. The lone weakness in the starting lineup, and only major issue, would be QB. Would've liked to have seen Marriota or Dalton over Ryan. But Ryan isn't bad. Hopefully Taylor doesn't get knocked around too badly before Bar needs him. Finally Allen is minor issue #3. Much like the D, no reason to carry a second TE, especially when you've only got 3 RB's and 4 WR's rostered, regardless of how good those 7 guys are. Grabbing a handcuff to Murray or Ajayi, or a 5th WR would've been a better move , imho.
Best starting lineup in the league as of right now in my estimation. But awfully thin.

@TREFF amazing write ups man. I think my wrs are good though with fitz and Smith. I just need one other wr to emerge as the three and the are a lot of long shots on my bench but I think one with I'll pan out. I feel like a got a top TE qb defence and 2 top rbs along with to oldies but goodies at wr. I am worried about injury to Reed but didn't like any options after fleener got snatched so early or at least what I thought was early by ram. I think I got a contender and ready to go

 

[broncosmitty]

No joke: Whats left of Skynyrd is playing here this summer.........add that to the other bands I posted earlier and that's pretty cool! Pocatello Idaho............lmao.

Well it's, 8 o'clock in Pocatello, Idaho..... Just doesn't have the same ring to it.

I think I would agree with every word of Treff's write ups for a standard league, but Suicide is much different. RBs and WRs are relatively less important here because they are much harder to predict. Everybody gets screwed here to some degree, but it is nearly impossible to recover from a first round bust in suicide. In a standard league free agent claims give you a chance to recover.

As long as Gronk and Cam stay healthy, my team will be competitive.

 

[leftypower]

Lefty

Lefty has that prototypical team that doesn't look all the frightening, yet could beat any one on any given week. Solid contender

Can't disagree with a thing said here. .... totally agree with solid but not flashy. ...

 

[leftypower]

85 8 Brandon LaFell CIN 9 WR40
100 9 Josh Gordon CLE 13 WR42

I saw nothing that sticks out as a too soon on the QB list. As for WR, the 2 listed here are IMO wayyy too soon. Both could probably have been taken in rd 11 or later. In this format, Gordon probably should have gone undrafted.

 

[leftypower]

If @Sam Sportboy can load this draft into fantasypro it would be interesting to see how they grade out. .... all can be take with a grain of salt this early but it would be interesting none the less. ...
