Hey, I drafted my first four picks! (Holmes, T. Barber, P. Price, D. Mason.) 😛

I decided though that I’m sated on mock drafts for now, I’ll probably wait at least a month before I do anything again.

No worries about the password comment, it was directed to everyone from the last draft.

Antsports has a relatively easy set-up, once you do a little exploring. What’ll happen is that I will reserve an entire draft with 10 of my usernames (“Munch1” through “Munch10”). Each username is assigned a password corresponding to whatever number of Munch you are. The passwords are “cecil1” through “cecil10”.

You can change your password at the draft site, in case you don’t want anyone peeking at your predrafts. The comment was to remind people to change their password back to the “cecil” password.

I’ll call him. Uh, no back-to-back picks for him. I’m as tired as you are of him making a pick, then waiting 12 hours until the computer makes his next pick.

**Munch:** Camel Toes wants to know if you can set up a draft with 3 football fanatics and 7 complete morons, to more closely approximate the conditions in the league he and I play in?😉

Well, we’ve got you and Camel Toes, so let’s see if we can scrounge up five more idiots…

Hey!

At one draft I attended, one of the guys showed up with a copy of\*\* “Beckett’s Football Card Magazine”\*\*. At another draft, one of the players was drafting out of the sports section of the local newspaper. The best one was the guy who showed up at the draft and said “Does anyone have a magazine I could borrow?”  
He took _Jeff Hostetler_ with the third overall pick of the draft.

I always print bogus ranking sheets to take with me to the draft just in case you ever run into anyone in the “Hey, can I look at what you have?” crowd.

I’m lost on the antsports thing. Went there and couldn’t find exactly where I had to sign up for this league. Am I too late or can I get a bit of help?

draft hasnt started yet. munch will probably sign up for an entire draft and fill up all the slots and tell you which team you are / and password (if you want in) when the draft starts.

Sorry folks!

I was just on Antsports today, and they just added a great new feature - private drafts! You can reserve an entire draft, give out a password, and have people sign up on their own time. Also, we can set the time limits to whatever we want. Let’s discuss this week, and do this next week, m’kay?

I am terribly busy, but hope that next week will be much better. And thanks to whoever bumped this, I was getting nervous I might have missed this and all the cool kids would be laughing at my face (instead of behind my back as is usual).

</div>

I’m in, I looked at the first thread on this and wasn’t up to sifting through the mess that is that website, but I suppose I could manage it for this, at least to give it a try.

I’ll do the first draft, and if I enjoy myself I’m sure I’ll do the second. I’ll pick anywhere, and I think I’d like option C for the rosters.

</div>

If you need another, **Munch** , I’d be willing to give it a try. Any position, option C is fine. This coming weekend is bad for me - otherwise I’m pretty much always available.

I haven’t thought about football in months… this should be interesting. Emmitt Smith is still with the Cowboys, right? 🙂
