Yeah, I DO want to try MDMA, though. But I agree... Never sounds fun... Like, almost every story is a version of ppl on the verge of freaking out and losing their shit.

But what I've read about MDMA... That sounds fun.

I've only done it twice and it is indeed very fun. I kinda owe my DMB fandom to it.

Wow, I thought Lemieux was Jordan. His games played being under 1,000 is fucked up.

Whoa. Ken Anderson has to have had two 400 yard passing games in 1981 and 1982. I am sure he did.

That how you sports - 4 out of 5 wrong. Good work, Dave.

Pro Football Reference has him at 1 (in 1982). In a game the Bengals lost 50-34

Cancer.

Pretty common opinion that he would have given some of 99's records a run if it weren't for that.

Sure enough. A 396 yard game was his high in 1981. Memory is a crappy thing.

Yeah. I thought Lemieux was “shortened career”, not “short career”.

AFC

1. Rush
2. Giff
3. and 4. Diamond or Duff
5. Gunpowder
6. Mister D, Rex, or Sancarlos

NFC

Working on this now. Tell me if I overlook someone.

I'm definitely One and Done with that business. Unending hours of the Indigo Girls rattling around inside my head.

Doug Williams. All time run there.

WHo's the host country now?!?!?

Ha, yeah. Even the stories of how great it is doesn't interest me. I've been with friends having great trips on several occasions, too. Really fun was watching Shawshank at a friends house when 3 other guys showed up on acid. One guy hadn't seem it before and was totally engrossed, staring with giant pupils going, "whoah! whoah! whoah!" after all the good scenes. It was hilarious to discuss the meaning of the movie with him afterwards.

Now mushrooms OTOH, those were some good times! Except the one time it wasn't. That was 3 hours of hell. No idea what was on/in them, but it was absolute hell. But that's a story for another day and another thread. On to the second half!

I've always associated them with acid. I almost did them once at a Widespread show, but i was the last one and was handed an empty bag.

Fun fact...I wasn't even remotely unsure of this.

Can non-playoff teams submit 1 playoff question? If not, can I at least?

Yeah I've got a couple good ones.

Bracket to come this weekend though it will follow seeding and there will be no re-seeding after each round, so you can figure it out mostly for now.

Oh, seems fair to me!

Hey, you avoided L-Jam's side of the bracket.

I'm the opposite. Hated MDMA the one time I tried it, definitely want to try acid or shrooms.

Is Gus Zernial that obscure? He's my go-to random guy for that era. He's 1940's Zack Wheat.

Also....Dan Marjele is one point? I thought that would be the high scorer. And HOW THE FUCK is Henry A. Wallace a 5??? I was sure as sure as I've ever been about anything in this game that he would be a one-pointer.

You probably did too much. It can be bad if you do. Otherwise it's teh best.

All I remember is slamming red bulls and vodka at the same time and grinding my teeth and watching the sun come up the next morning. I never felt like I needed to rub someone's back, or have my back rubbed. It was Prague in 1999 though, so who knows what the quality was like.

I created the promotion where we can each pick our own bracket, but there's a bug of course, so I'll try to have that posted by Monday at the latest to give everyone four days to make their picks.

I guess I’m officially the “Best DVOA for a team that misses the playoffs” team. That’s what I get for being the Lions.

I don't even know who Tommy Kramer is. Tommy Vardell had the nickname. Erik Kramer threw some picks. Tip hat. Have seat.

Did shrooms and acid a bunch of times (not together). Never had a bad trip on either. I missed the MDMA boom, don’t think I’d try it now.

If I ate acid now, with the amount of stress in my life, I’d be a mess. It’s a younger man’s drug. The more shit floating in your brain to worry about, the more your brain will fuck with you.

Best time tripping on acid was hanging out at a friends house with lots of weed, beer and a swimming pool. Dead shows were fun.
I saw Who Framed Roger Rabbit (in a movie theatre) after eating an eighth of shrooms. That was interesting.
