I was thinking maybe if it completes a circle around the crest, that would look cool.

I'm not sure that would work for teams like the Lakers or Celtics. What are they gonna do, put 17 stars on the thing? The gold notch won't differentiate multiple title winners, but it's a simple way to commemorate the achievement.

Dang, John Salmons hit waivers again.

It's much easier to do in a rotisserie league than a head-to-head league. In the instance of contraction, I allowed the players to be claimed via standard waiver process, after putting it to a vote as to whether those players should be eligible to be claimed or if they should simply be sequestered on the deadbeat…

They are the worst. I commission with an iron fist. Week One, I lock rosters until payment submitted. I have even dissolved drafted teams for failure to pay.

Come for the Lebron news, stay for the sexual abuse jokes +1

Germany outscored both Portuguese speaking countries 11-1 in just two games. Unbelievable.

We haven't seen anyone lay down for the Germans like this since Hitler invaded France.

The first self-titled album stands the test of time, one of my personal favorites. Pinkerton was less commercially successful, but if you go back and listen, it's far and away the best thing they ever did. Then Rivers Cuomo literally forced himself into nervous breakdown, because he can't stand not immediately being…

Weezer is a one hit wonder?

But where are you going without ever knowing the way?

Those are the bro rock bands of yesteryear. I think a new wave is upon us, where post lobotomy-Rivers Cuomo rules with an iron fist and an irresistible hook.

I really like your turn of phrase there, and I'd actually disagree and say that's *exactly* what they're doing. They're like Weezer, without the benefit of two stellar albums at the beginning. They're like Fastball. Or Bowling for Soup.

I don't see why "Top 40 reincarnation of Jimmy Buffet" explains away anything. To that point, they're gimmicky and pandering, like Buffet. (Unrelated, I won't digress with my disdain for Buffet.)

Can't say I'm not partial to the old white boy guitar rock with a hook. Doesn't need to be as sterile as I personally find Vampire Weekend. If you slapped an American Eagle logo on their next album, most of their fans wouldn't know the difference. I'll lay down a big old pile of hipster troll bait and name check…

They seem about as similarly motivated to create terrible music as Vampire Weekend, and also seem like a bunch of wimps.

I blame Vampire Weekend.

Hi, I noticed you used the word "cloying" but this isn't a lazy beer review. Nice work.
