Here we go again!

Keates and I overcome technical challenges and talk about the league while I try to hold my lungs in.

It was a hard loss, and it hurt, but in a good way.

We, Andrea's (3 of them) team, at the bottom of the standings and salary now face the league's top team, Big Love. As such, I am I recommending that our name be changed to Andre The Giant Slayers. Then Andrea can spend the rest of the season trading for player size and eventually we can simply go with Andreas and The Giants. I didn't listen to Morgan's team name podcast (nor do intend to) so I'm not sure if this would meet the strict parity naming standards.

Other suggestions
1) Perhaps recording some non salary based stats, such as number of Bad Calls, times yelling at teamates, times failing to put the right number of players of the field, etc would give Keates and Geofford additional material to work with.
2) Actually that's all I've got.

Records are made to be broken, Matt. If you believe, you can do "great" things.

Geofford and I are hoping that the GMs will have their team name game in order by week 3 and Morgan will join as a guest to officially critique all names on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being Amos level bad, 10 being the fabiled unicorn of perfect parody names.

My new suggestion is then that our team name be changed to:

"an Andreas Fault"

I think Matt's suggestion for "Andreas Fault" might be a 10/10 on the scale? Morgan? If it's not used, it's serious missed opportunity.

I’ve been thinking about the idea that Matt suggested for years: a companion app for tracking other stats (that would, of course, be added to the main app and influence salaries going forward next season).

In addition to his ideas, I’d previously thought of tracking: chirps, uncalled travels, unnecessarily called travels (mas-ters fris-bee, clap, clap, clapclapclap), lookoffs of open players, etc.

Stat leaders this week:

Jim had 9 goals.
Al had 8 assists and 9 teachable moments.
Jessie had 6 seconds and 35 completions.
Mapp had 6 D blocks. (Stop throwing towards him!)
Kristie had 30 catches.
Els, Kindha, and Mikey had 2 TDs.
8 players had 2 drops.

Omissions and corrections from this week’s episode:

[I thought - too late, obviously - to include some items that had been discussed, but that didn’t make the final edit. I might do that if I think of it next time. And I’ll definitely include any corrections that are found in the time between recording and editing.]

  1. Was Keates stripped?
  2. We - as Jessie - wondered if Sul and J, with all the extra room in their basement from giving their crap prizes away last year, were shopping for a BILLY bookcase in search of inspiration. But not in a combative way. #thereisnofeud
  3. The gimmick: it doesn’t entirely work, but it’s fun.
  4. Al’s attempt to go full Pindur was derailed by far too many throws to places that weren’t the end zone.
  5. Luca had a Berry good substitute appearance (bringing the week 1 Berry total to 5).
  6. Kindha claims ownership of the wondrous pizza chirp.

The final verdict, there can be only one true Parity podcast.
