Tactics to Distract Fellow Owners at the Draft... (1 Viewer)

Fair Tax!
A guy in my longer running league has recently - past couple years - resorted to bringing his, now, 9 year old son with him. Kid is cute as all get out but he just does not shut up. Will talk to you if you were dead and not take a breath. I've seen picks be made so that the owner could get out of the room to be away from said kid. We call him Nuke, because he is clearly the nuclear option.

During the draft??

Ask what his "B" means in "VBD".

Cleavage.
No before, just announce the fact during the draft. Bring along some proof in case they do not believe you.

Sharks don't need tactics.

Anyone who's so easily distracted probably kinda sucks at this anyway. All the articles that say "DON'T DRINK AT THE DRAFT" make me laugh.

Obviously you haven't seen the guy's wives in my league.

That's why it's called taking one for YOUR team.Obviously you haven't seen the guy's wives in my league.

There is one group I am in a league with that I play the same rouse on each year. I print out my VBD-like matrix for the draft - TWICE.
One is the real one, one is a fake where I have intentionally changed the order and "game plan". The fake is ALWAYS left on top of my draft kit and sometimes I even put it down while I grab some chips or beverage. I returned from the head one year to see one of the guys marking up his notes anticipating where I might draft next - BONUS.

Where do these guys finish relative to you? Do you keep track of that?Also, you know you're going to set down the wrong one one year, right?

I've always thought it would be cool to have a topless beer/pick runner. I wonder how much it would cost to hire one for a couple hours?

You're hiring at peak season, so it's gonna be pricey. Tell you what, I can cut you a special deal on 'ol Carla over here . . .I've always thought it would be cool to have a topless beer/pick runner. I wonder how much it would cost to hire one for a couple hours?

Did you ever think they were letting you do this so you are the one distracted?
T Bell
Footballguy
How distracted can you get in two minutes?

What do you do with the other minute and a half?

Blush, usually.

Always provide BEER is the obvious. But a tatic we always use is when a owner needs to go take a leak we run off 10-12 picks fast while he is away.
Needless to say they come back stunned and pissed. Even a fight broke out over this tatic couple years ago!

Print out last year's NFL schedule. Sit back and watch unprepared drafters cry about their bye conflicts after the draft is over, then swoop in and trade your lower players without bye conflicts to him.

Some of this depends on when you hold you're draft. If it's on a Saturday night, it's going to take quite a bit of scratch to keep them out of the cabaret and fetching you beer instead. We did this one year. I ran into her a couple weeks ago when she was offering samples of tequila in a liquor store on Saturday afternoon. It was an awkward experience to say the least.
