Not Liked by Most, Loved by Slow Drafters

Post by DOUGHBOYS » Thu Feb 09, 2012 10:35 am

We should know the fate of Ryan Braun within a few days.
The person or person's who leaked the results of the test have been lambasted by the media, Braun's 'people', and Major League Baseball.
On behalf of slow draft NFBC'ers, thanks for the leak, uh well, you know what I mean.
There is nothing worse than drafting a first round pick not knowing that the player is in for a 50 game suspension. Now, it is figured into our drafts.
That 'leaker' saved us countless stories of how slow drafts were ruined because of the suspension.
You're probably not welcomed much in the real world, but from us fantasy early season drafters, thanks.
On my tombstone-
Wait! I never had the perfect draft!

So True Dough! Now if somebody could have leaked that VMart was going to blow his knee out, Slow Drafters EVERYWHERE would be happy! ;)
Let me just say, I love the fact you posted on the General NFBC Discussion. I get over to Doughboy's Daily when I remember and can, but when your stuff pops up here I LOVE IT!!! :D

I missed the leakage...what was the verdict?

He's referring to the fact that we even know Braun is going through this process, not the outcome of Braun's appeal (which should come any day).

If I'm not mistaken Braun's positive test should never have been released to the media thus enabling we as fantasy players to make a more informed decision on whether or not Braun is a 1st rd'er, before duh! now, w/ the very real possibility of a 50 gm suspension, not so much.
Always be closing.

Cool. 8-) Thanks for the clarification, Dave. Notice how it's been all quiet on the Gekko front since I roasted him on the other thread. Let's purposely take longer just to drive him completely off the deep end when we draft. :mrgreen:
