Craziest draft time/place (1 Viewer)

[LordHusker]

I'm in a money league that has been around for at least a decade.

Because many of the guys work nights (not me), we have decided that we will have the draft at 1 a.m. this year on a weekend at a league owner's house.

There's really only one guy who whined. And there's not a single guy who couldn't make it.

Needless to say, I plan to be drinking. Heavily. Until my wife (very enthusiastically, of course) picks me up at 4 a.m.



Anybody else have bizarre draft circumstances?

Yahoo screwed our draft order tonight, so we drafted in a Yahoo Pool Room, worked out pretty well.

I actually think that could be fun. Just have your ducks in a row ahead of time and then enjoy yourself.

Outstanding.

Yeah, I'm pretty studied up. Lucked into the No. 2 pick, so, theoretically with SJ, I'll score a few points each week despite what sort of drafting genius occurs around 2:30 a.m. or so ...

I never had an odd start time, but once my league had to wrap up our draft early because the party room was reserved for an AA meeting at 9:30 PM.

This takes the cake in craziness. Not saying I wouldn't do it (I sure as hell would), but it's crazy.

Strip Club. 10pm-3am weeknight.About 8 years ago, I started working at a new job and one of the 10 young salesmen, wanted in for this FF work league and heard I was good at it. So he asked me to be his consultant. I didn't work in sales but heard enough about these guys, so I went along. We met in a bar, about 8pm, ate, drank and pick the order and went over the "rules". I asked if they had a board and one idiot said "hey the new guys BORED!" and everyone was like wait til the draft starts. I started to explain myself, but that got nowhere. We all get up and leave after a few rounds and next thing I know I'm forking over $20 bucks at some strange doorway. Thats when things got interesting...being a weekend night we sorta had the run of the place at first. I had the guy take Holmes at #7, and Jamal on the way back. Grabbed Gannon late. Can't remember much about the middle rounds but it was tough reading the players drafted list in that lighting. The shot girl was kind enough to give us a little flashlight to use that had a neoprene grip (more later). The guy who lost in the championship missed three rounds while in the champagne room (hi roller). He said it was worth it. After blowing over $100 in dances, I was hoping to recoup these expenses as part of my consultant's fee. No dice. My guy was out of it and getting "handsy". He was tossed or given a time out. i didn't see him again until a week later. With no more cash, no ATM card, and just that flashlight ,I really cleaned up in the later rounds. Baltimore D and so on.Now the bad part. I went outside to find my partner and couldn't find him and couldn't get back in the place. I went to the train station, found another drafter who was tired and going back to job to sleep. Stupidly I did the same. He had keys, and talked his way in past security. We raided the fridge and crashed. I jumped up off the floor of the conference room when I heard copymachines come to life. Uh-oh, it was past 9 and I forgot to get my gym bag to change. When I snuck to my desk (imagine the Matrix, but Nero is a little out of it, reeks of stripper perfume and has a pounding headache) I realized I didn't leave my gym bag, with clean clothes in it. So I sat in a meeting that morning with my regional director, (who kept trying to open the window of the same room I slept in) mentally updating my resume all the while my immediate boss complained about the lack of AC. As I strolled back to my office all the guys in the office heads would whip around after getting a mere whiff of that sweet peeler scent. Worse I had black pants on that night and the women kept asking why my "belt area" was covered in glitter. It was a tough day and I had forgot about that flashlight that I threw in my gym bag. My gf did my wash for me that weekend (after I dropped off the incriminating clothes at the dry cleaners ) and found that flashlight and it stunk. Neoprene "baton" passed among 10 guys + lap dances + shots = You didn't need to be Grissom from CSI to convict me. SOL.PS We lost in the playoffs
