Last year, 50 years after 1971, I said in some of the music threads that I would do a third 100 from 1971 countdown because it was such a deep year and there were a lot of great songs that @timschochet and @Bracie Smathers left off their lists. I in fact decided to do it after @rockaction and...

As promised, here is a third set of extraordinary songs from 1969 following Tim's list and Bracie's list. These are my 100 favorite songs from 1969 that didn't make either of their lists. It was a loaded year so there should be plenty of stuff to intrigue you.  @timschochet's list was heavy on...

As many of you saw, @timschochet posted his top 100 songs from 1975. When he did this for 1979, @Bracie Smathers followed with his top 100 songs from that year that were not on Tim's list. Bracie has graciously allowed me to do the same for 1975.  What follows are my top 100 songs from 1975...

I have been a Neil Young fanatic almost since birth -- CSNY and Neil were among the few non-classical artists whose albums my parents owned, and things steamrolled from there, greatly helped by my college years coinciding with his late 80s/early 90s renaissance.  In May, while I was bored...

10-team PPR auction, $250 cap. Superflex league. Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex (RB/WR/TE), 1 Superflex (QB/RB/WR/TE), 1 team K, 1 team D/ST. I have to keep Sony Michel at $12. I can have three other keepers. Which three from these five would you choose? QB Garoppolo $11 RB Cohen $11...

14-team PPR, $250 cap, each team can keep up to 4 players. I am out of contention. A contender has offered Chris Carson, who is $6 to keep next year, for Gronk, who is too expensive to keep next year. Is Carson worth pulling the trigger on? 

Our 14-team PPR auction league that has added a Superflex position for this year has two vacancies. Auction is Monday evening, August 21 at a bar on South Street in Philly. In-person is preferred but phone or Skype participation is OK. League fee is $106.  $250 cap, H2H, decimal scoring...

PPAL, an auction league based in Philly, is looking for replacement for two founding owners. 14 teams, PPR, decimal scoring, $250 cap, $106 entry fee, 3 or 4 keepers (one must be a rookie from the previous year.) Auction is on Monday, August 19 at 6 PM at a bar on South Street in Philly. It's a...

10-team league that draws from 17 MLB teams (some AL, some NL). 5x5 with OBP and net steals instead of AVG and SB. We have some unusual rules, including a $75 cap instead of $260, a $.25 minimum bid instead of $1, and no long-term contracts, but year-to-year raises instead. To keep someone, you...

Eagles fan with no inside knowledge, but these are my two cents. 1. Do not take the Eagles if you're still alive in any survivor pools. Their record in the game before the bye week is abysmal under Reid. I think they've only won it once. Plus, they are traveling all the way out to SF and...
