Can you believe it, only 20 days remain until it's time to sit down and select the players that will lead us into battle for 2008?



Here's a couple draft day tips for the newbies, inexperienced, or weak-minded:



1) After you walk into the draft room and realize what you've gotten yourself into, you will likely have some belly pains and have to make a brisk walk to the rest room for a #3 (mix between #1 and #2). Don't worry, this is normal. Just make sure there is sufficient toilet paper in the stall.



2) When you sit down at the draft table, look around and see if anyone appears nervous. If you don't spot anyone, it's because you are nervous yourself.



3) If a fellow participant gives you his drink tickets before the draft, there's likely devious intentions.



4) When it's your turn to select your player and you don't know how to pronounce his name, try your best. Of course you'll be laughed at and ridiculed by your leaguemates, but at least you'll get the player you want.



5) About midway through the draft, you'll realize that your team has no shot. Most people fall into this group. When that happens, just truy to enjoy the remainder of the day and head to the bar and get a few drinks.



Hope this helps!

Also, no need to bring any cheat sheets or other draft prep work with you. If nothing has changed, you will be given a goodie bag filled with several magazines to use at the draft.

Jack - does that mean u agree with having the squirts?
