Are you ready for some Football (Americano)!

Nope.

As is tradition, my twelve-team league (as in, my high dolla make you holla) will be drafting on the night of kickoff. We are getting together next Thursday and will be having our annual, in-person live draft leading up to (and, more often than not, through and including the First Quarter ... yes, we have special rules to deal with people drafting players in the game).

Last year, I came in second place. Continuing my fine tradition of never finishing first, but always finishing high enough to make my money back and sometimes more (4th place is you get your entry fee back, and 3rd place on up is you get more ... significantly more for second and especially for first).

Last five years?
3, 3, 4, 3, 2.

I'll take it.

That would be hella fun drafting right into the opening game! Alas, ill be drafting this Thursday night becasue some folks will be on vacay next week.

It is! Loser each year has to pay for the venue and the food.

Drafting on Thursday. I almost always make the playoffs, only to end the season like a warm Budweiser. Bring it!

Do we have enough for an enworld league?

I've given up on fantasy, mostly because we all drifted apart and the fun part is giving each other naughty word......also, I just don't watch as much as I used to (and that is likely good).

Have fun everyone! Looking forward to another year of the Vikings letting me down in a crushing way.

Have one slow draft in a best ball league going on right now, just picked 12.12/13.1 so only a few more rounds to go, 18 total. The team so far is:
QB: Kyler, Fields
RB: Bucky, Chuba, Montgomery, Mason, Stevenson
WR: Chase, Tyreek, Odunze, Godwin
TE: LaPorta, Henry

Feel like I overpaid on Reek need to find a few good value WRs at the end of the draft. Godwin was a steal if he actually plays. Otherwise I'm pretty happy, I'll probably grab a 3rd QB at some point too just in case. No waiver or trading so it's draft and watch.

Adopted an orphaned dynasty team as well whose RB2 was Gus Edwards but is otherwise solid (Jayden Daniels, Evan Engram, Drake London and absolute fleet of WR2s...) I pick 5th in the rookie draft that starts in an hour and I'm praying that Henderson falls to me.

My draft's not until next Tuesday. Defending my crown whilst splitting my allegiances between my assuredly breathtaking picks and the Bills.

Only if it includes some kind of edtion wars about fantasy football, a bunch of post about how WOTC ruined Football, and debate if football is a railroad or not.

Back in the day we had to agree what newspaper to use, since sometimes the stats were different, does that count as edition wars?
