BLACK
CREEK, AL - Second Helping was the second studio album recorded by Lynyrd
Skynyrd mostly in Doraville, GA and released on April 15, 1974. It is known for the band's biggest
hit single, "Sweet Home Alabama", an answer song to Neil Young's
"Alabama" and "Southern Man", which reached #8 on the Billboard Hot 100
chart in August of 1974. Produced by Al Kooper on his MCA Sounds of the
South label, the LP cemented the band's trademark triple-guitar attack
as it peaked at #12 on the Billboard album charts. The RIAA certified it
Gold on September 20, 1974, and it became Double Platinum on July 21, 1987. After
the success of their debut album, Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd,
Lynyrd Skynyrd's fan base continued to grow rapidly throughout 1973,
largely due to their opening slot on the Who's Quadrophenia tour in the
United States. Featuring Ed King, Allen Collins, and Gary Rossington all
collaborating with Ronnie Van Zant on the songwriting, Second
Helping was the band's breakthrough album to commercial success.
The album only featured eight tracks including "Sweet Home Alabama" and
the rest were Skynyrd classics as well - "Don't Ask Me No Questions", "I
Need You", "Workin' for MCA", "The Ballad of Curtis Loew", "Swamp
Music", "The Needle and the Spoon" and "Call Me the Breeze". The stupid
music critics
of the day panned it, but the fans loved it. In retrospective, the album has stood
the test of time. In Week 8 of the BDFL's 32nd season, the Black Creek
Freebirds put a second helping of industrial-strength whoopass on the
Brookside Dogs (45-15) in front of the chaise lounge crowd at Elmo
Matthews Ball Park.

PLACE - When the last five NFL MVPs (Rodgers, Mahomes, Jackson,
Allen and Stafford) are all ranked #23, or lower, in a consensus
of 100 fantasy football websites, you know something is bad
wrong with fantasy football scoring in the mainstream. Luckily,
the BDFL doesn't float in the mainstream. In the BDFL, we know
how to score players and games, thus we know how to create the
correct value for players and provide realistic scoring that
mirrors real football. Case in point, Josh Allen was the #1
player selected in the 2026 BDFL Genuine Draft, as he should
have been. He goes #23 in most BSCS leagues. Another case in
point shows that in the 2025 season, NFL average scoring was up
from 22.9 to 23 points per team per game while the BDFL average
scoring was down from 25.9 to 25.5. This makes the two leagues
closer in scoring since the 2020 season, meaning the BDFL is
doing a great job mirroring NFL scoring with their weekly game
match-ups. The fact that the league's patented Aladdin Scoring
System (@$$) hasn't really changes at all over the last 32 years
is a testament to the BDFL's tenacity, vision and wisdom. |
