Eh, that's with one hand and a beer in the other isn't it Cheesehead?

Question: can we change our "Kentucky Derby" draft preferences if we change our minds?

When Tom and I come into work on Tuesday, we're ouputting all of your Draft Preferences, picking the random order 1 through 15 and then slotting you according to your preferences. We will announce the draft order before noon on Tuesday and get that set up on Mock Draft Central.com.

I also will talk a bit about the choices of your Draft Preferences online and in the magazine. It will be good insight for everyone and hopefully explain how the system works. It will be good for everyone and since I'm paying for the top prize out of my own pocket it's paid information!!

Three years ago I wrote an article for Rotomojo (a site by Jon Loomer) about fantasy sharks. I think I reprised it in a CREATiVESPORTS article. It dealt with Sharks, whales, fishes and guppies. I began it with the children's song "Three Little Fishes" which goes:

"Whee!" yelled the little fishies, "Here's a lot of fun

We'll swim in the sea till the day is done"

They swam and they swam, and it was a lark

Till all of a sudden they saw a shark!

Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!

Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!

Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!

Till all of a sudden they saw a shark!

"Help!" cried the little fishies, "Gee! look at all the whales!"

And quick as they could, they turned on their tails

And back to the pool in the meadow they swam

And they swam and they swam back over the dam

Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!

Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!

Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!

And they swam and they swam back over the dam.

Little did I know at the time that I would meet the master shark in Gordon Gekko. I will find out for myself in the Magazine League.

What's up with the draft order?

Then first thing tomorrow morning Tom and I will randomly pick the order, go through your draft preferences and announce the order before noon. Then Jason Pliml will get the order, create the draft site and send out the URL to each of you via e-mail. So look for that tomorrow afternoon or Wednesday at the latest.

This was explained earlier, but you must have missed it!

Draft order will come soon. Just wrapping up something first.
