Are You Ready for Some Football Pt. 2

Some brilliant people decided to hold my 2nd fantasy football draft on Labor Day. Labor Day! Because it was good for some. The rest of us had to come home early from vacations, beaches and cookouts to be there. And then they changed the time to a half hour later. THEN we didn't even get started for at least another half hour after that. That was probably another hamburger and a half I could have eaten at the cookout! Not to mention that I had to get up at 3:30 am for work the next day. This one league is notoriously SLOOOOOOOW when it comes to making picks. Needless to say, 3 hours after this draft was supposed to start, we were done. And people wonder why the hell I was so tired at work yesterday. Anyway, I present to you the Dewey Devils 2008:

QB: Drew Brees, David Garrard
RB: Steven Jackson, Chris Perry, Ray Rice, Maurice Morris
WR: Marques Colston, Nate Burleson, Joey Galloway, Reggie
Williams, Antwaan Randle El, DJ Hackett
TE: Jason Witten
K: Nate Kaeding
Def: Chicago

This league starts 1 QB, 2 RB, 3WR, 1 TE, 1 K, and 1 DEF. Also this league is a keeper league meaning we keep 2 players from our previous year's team. I kept Drew Brees and Steven Jackson and actually picked up another player I had last year, Marques Colston, with my first pick (3rd) of the draft. Another thing to note is that this is my money league. $50 entry fee and $5 a roster move. (Up from $32 entry and $3 a move.) So it's a nice pot of money at the end of the year. We also are having a $20 prize each week for the team that scores the most points. And so everyone stays involved thru the playoffs, we also have a Toilet Bowl. All the teams that don't make the playoffs get to play and the point is to lose your game. The biggest loser wins $20. So really, the chances to win money are endless. As are the chances I don't get squat! Heh. Such is life in fantasy football.
