On Wednesday night, while my two brothers in crime were doing God's work in producing the internationally-acclaimed podcast The Unsportsmanlike Conduct Show, I was doing something that I deemed far more important and necessary in my life.
The fourth Annual ETSF Fantasy Football Draft was conducted at Mecklenburg Gardens in Cincinnati, Ohio.
I don't think you all understand how hard it is to get 12 individuals in one room at the same, much less the 12 goons that I associate with. With that being said, big ups to the following goons: Scott F., Terrance, Doc, Jeff F., Scott S., JAG, King Phil, Esquire, Cool Black, Brian and Wisseh.
I hope you all finish in second place behind me.
Anyway, here are the results of last night's festivities. I genuinely can't tell if I have a dope as hell squad or a squad that's just "eh." Or possibly a terrible team. Check out my squad, starters in bold.
QB: Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck, Joe Flacco
RB: Ryan Mathews, Darren McFadden, Jammal Charles, Felix Jones
WR: Hakeem Nicks, Jeremy Maclin, Reggie Wayne, Sidney Rice
TE: Owen Daniels, Colby Fleener
Defense: Cincinnati Bengals
Kicker: Nate Kaeding
Please let me know in the comments section if I have a team worth a damn. Here's your pertinent reading material for the day.
