At home drafting can be a disadvantage, as you are not able to hear other tables drafting players, thereby, not knowing when some of your sleepers are coming off the board.

KJ, you and Lance are THE BEST!!! : Lance, that pool photo has me PUMPED. I think that was the angle we had last year as we sipped some fruit drinks at the pool. I may have to spend some time there on Thursday afternoon to cool off from my hot college picks!! :D Or, I'll just spend all Monday there. Awesome photos.



KJ, those don't look like Flamingo hosts. I will guess the Rio as they change outfits every year. But still, NICE. ;)

Very much a hypothetical situation that in all likelihood will not happen. actually it did happen last year regarding John Lackey news. News broke during the first 45 minutes of the draft. I had internet on my phone and saw the report.

Okay, here's the latest update on the main event: We now have 60 teams for the main event in Chicago, giving us four full leagues there. All credit cards are through for Chicago and nobody is on the bubble as far as competing. Karl helped us reach 60 today. Thanks Karl.



We lost one owner in New York, so we're down to 112 there. We have a solution to make all of this work out, so stay tuned. It might diminish the fun of these last seven pages, but what the heck. I love it when plans work out. ;)



Stay tuned. Oh, and nice photo Quahogs!! :D

Pardons, I'm doing some math.......



This years leaders and city have little bearing on next years leaders and city.



If I'm going to Chicago, it'll be for the dogs and the pizza and to visit with some really good people.
