Make up pick time.

Sometimes you like a prospect, but when they get to the show, they ultimately disappoint you. This happened to the Sockeyes in a bizarre way.

Before ESPN landed the NHL rights for the second time, our beat writer had quietly built herself a nice career and we enjoyed her hits when she appeared on Canadian TV. Then ESPN won the TV deal and has her on TV constantly... I don't know what happened, but the questions she asks her interviewees, the outfits she wears, and her inane sideline reporting have completely ruined all the good she did before.

So, the Seattle Sockeyes will go another way and use Redraft II to replace Emily Kaplan and select one of the pillars of hip hop as our new beat writer: Marley Marl.

I will select Natalie Wood. Hopefully can tell us what exactly happened when she died.

No tag, no message, I see how it is @Magua

I saw you @ me here, and without even reading what you wrote, my brain went, "Oopsies......" :laugh:

You explicitly ask me to message you instead of tagging, but I just forgot this time. Let's also point out you liked my last pick 4 minutes after I made it, pal! You and my Team Philosopher, Ralph Waldo Emerson, will have a chat on "Self-Reliance."

No tag, no message, I see how it is @Magua . Luckily I have no spites reserves at this very moment as I have it all channeled in one direction.

To call this person a hockey player is probably more of a compliment than they deserve. Strike that, it's definitely more of a compliment than they deserve. But honestly f*** this guy. It's more important that he gets what is coming to him, especially when one factors in how much time we had to waste justifiably calling out his d*****bag actions and making sure the indefensible was not defended. He wasn't directly involved in those posts, but this prick caused it all with his idiot fratboy actions.

Besides, who else has a father-son line on their spite team?

@GKJ , you seem like a good fellow. Certainly not the kind who pushes the wheelchair of a person with a disability down stairs, right?
Blast, I was fixing to pick him as my spite goaltender. In my head cannon that meant he was going to be minding the net without any gear whatsoever.

Team Classic Actor: John Barrymore

Unfortunately, I don't have time to give him the write-up deserves, but Barrymore has a legitimate claim to the title of Greatest Actor of the 20th Century. He was a true chameleon, able to play the handsome rake, the dashing hero, the unsettling monster, or the sad clown. Here he is as Jekyll, transforming into Hyde, with his facial expressions the only special effect:



My introduction to Barrymore was Grand Hotel, which is frequently billed as Hollywood's first all star ensemble film. To list the cast would be pick-tipping, but here's a lovely scene with Barrymore's debonair down-on-his-luck gentleman thief flirting with [Ranch]:



As famous as he was as a film actor, he really made his name reinventing some of Shakespeare's greatest characters on the stage, and was widely considered to be the greatest Shakespearean actor of his day. It's been said that all anyone has done since is just another reinterpretation of his version of Hamlet.

Unfortunately, Barrymore's star declined rapidly through the 30's as the excesses of his drinking caught up with him, and he had to resort to lampooning himself to keep working. He died from cirrhosis in 1942.

Team Painter ALBRECHT DÜRER

Albrecht Dürer (/ˈdjʊərər/;[1] German: [ˈʔalbʁɛçt ˈdyːʁɐ];[2][3][1] Hungarian: Ajtósi Adalbert; 21 May 1471 – 6 April 1528),[4] sometimes spelled in English as Durer (without an umlaut) or Duerer, was a German painter, printmaker, and theorist of the German Renaissance. Born in Nuremberg, Dürer established his reputation and influence across Europe in his twenties due to his high-quality woodcut prints. He was in contact with the major Italian artists of his time, including Raphael, Giovanni Bellini, and Leonardo da Vinci, and from 1512 was patronized by Emperor Maximilian I.


Dürer's self-portrait at 28 (1500). Alte Pinakothek, Munich.
Dürer's vast body of work includes engravings, his preferred technique in his later prints, altarpieces, portraits and self-portraits, watercolours and books. The woodcuts series are more Gothic than the rest of his work. His well-known engravings include the three Meisterstiche (master prints) Knight, Death and the Devil (1513), Saint Jerome in his Study (1514), and Melencolia I (1514). His watercolours mark him as one of the first European landscape artists, while his woodcuts revolutionised the potential of that medium.

Dürer's introduction of classical motifs into Northern art, through his knowledge of Italian artists and German humanists, has secured his reputation as one of the most important figures of the Northern Renaissance. This is reinforced by his theoretical treatises, which involve principles of mathematics, perspective, and ideal proportions.
