Quote of the evening:
"We don't want to hear any of your rhetorical nonsense."
-Maggie to Steve lamenting about one of his picks.
My Picks:
QB- Jon Kina & Tony Romo
RB- Shaun Alexander, Cedric Benson, & Marshawn Lynch
WR- Terrell Owens, Larry Fitzgerald, Reggie Brown, Braylon Edwards, & Brandon Marshall
K- Josh Scobee
D- Denver
Overall, I'm happy with my picks. I really wanted Donovan McNabb and Javon Walker but waited too long on both of them. Also regretting taking Marshawn instead of Ladell Betts. Might try to remedy that. Didn't realize Terrell and Larry Fitz had the same bye week so had to get a WR with my Wild Card. Rookie mistake.
There were a few disagreements.
Surprise pick of the night: There were few eye-poppers but Javier did drop some jaws when he picked the Cincinnati Defense in middle rounds.
Besides Shelly, Steve and I, the rest of the "Team Owners" have been playing FF for years. This is their easy league and they were playing it fast and loose, I guess. I was a little stressed when I realized I would have to take bye weeks into account. Caught looking on that one!
Anyway, everyone is super cool (actually, it's hard to gage Randall over the phone, but I have admire his stick-to-itiveness.) Looking forward to much shit talking, drinking, and football!

Way to go Commish! The draft was awesome!

- the telephone opperator each time we were cut off from Randall.
My Picks:
RB - LaDainian Tomlinson, Willis McGahee, & Ronnie Brown
WR - Steve Smith, Lee Evans, Deion Branch, Donald Driver, & Joey Galloway
QB - Matt Hasselbeck & Phillip Rivers
K - Nate Kaeding
D - Miami
Like Dana, I am very happy with my picks. Somehow I managed to luck into the number one draft pick (LT) and then picked up the number one WR as well. I waited quite a while to pick up any QBs (the 7th and 9th rounds), but hopefully the touch of evil that graced Matt's palm earlier this week (see Dana's previous post) won't spoil his performance this year.
FYI, Dana's FF team and my FF team are pitted against each other the first week of the regular season. It's so on.
Congrats to everyone. My hopeful real-life FFL in Denver fell through, but I'm going to do several online ones vs. people I'll never meet. And remember, if you need a QB due to injury, Joey Harrington will be worth about 5 points a week, which is better than zero. Also, Anthony Gonzolez (WR for Indianapolis) is a great sleeper guy for late in the season, once he knows what he's doing. Good luck, have fun, and yes Dana, it'll make the season more fun, because now you'll be learning more about football, the players, and the little things that are worth watching.
