Draft Day

My family loves football.
And every year we do a fantasy football league.

My team is the New Fangled Velocipedes.
(The name comes from Big Jake. It's the best John Wayne movie. Ever.)

I'm up against five other teams:
Grass Carp (Dad)
Provo Pianocrashers (Mom)
Mouserkitty Golliwogs (Jenni)
Nine Spine Sticklebacks (Darin)
Favre From Over (Scott)


This year we decided to do a live draft instead of an auto draft
so all of us gathered down at my parents house tonight.
It took 5 laptops, 30 minutes, and 16 rounds of draft picks.
Seriously fun stuff. Honestly, why haven't we done this before?!


I'm pretty happy with how my team turned out. Mostly. I did have a bit
of a problem not taking my personal preferences into consideration.
(I'm thinking that's perhaps one of the reasons I never find myself victorious
at the end of the every season.) And I also picked a few players that are currently
listed as probable. Fingers crossed they're healthy when the season starts.

But I'm super excited for football season to kick-off.
It's hands down the very best time of the year.
