Give it up. Let's be serious. I'm willing to wager a good chunk of us are scumbag's when draft time rolls around. Especially those of us who do "live drafts".

Varying degrees of Scumbaggery are surely going to be evident, and I'll start off with a mild, and a spicy one to get the ball rolling.

1) Live Draft 2011 - Fake web 'article' created, with the Breaking News about LeSean McCoy's "ankle sprain". The story had a nice touch of believability (not an over the top kinda injury). Drafter #5 passes on McCoy (eagles fan), and takes Jamaal Charles. #6 wins scumbagger of the draft.

2) Live Draft 2008 - In the history books. Approx an hour before the draft, "John" tells "Andy" he's been hearing rumours that "Andy's" girlfriend has been hanging out with her ex. Said he hadn't heard it was sexual, but that they've been seen at the local Tim Hortons having coffee once or twice. Seed planted. "Andy's" gf was at work, bartending, and didn't/couldn't respond to "Andy's" dozen or so txts. "Andy's" frustration was evident during the draft as he made a disaster of successive picks, as he went from reigning champ to out of the playoffs that season.

*** So gentlemen, let's hear 'em if you got 'em!!!!

Disclaimer: Neither story was executed by me, personally, but league-mates. Mine tend to stay in the mild-medium territory.

Well one time our Jewish friend who was the league champion the year prior, he was absent while we picked the draft order. Well, his name got pulled as the #1 pick! We made a vow never to tell him, and gave him the merely okay 6th pick or so.

Later that season, we had a porno filmed in the apartment of another owner in the league.

What a crazy season that was!

I always buy the first fantasy draft magazine I can find. That way when the draft comes it will have the oldest info. I leave it out and usally someone will pick it up and get some kind of info from it. Last year a guy drafted two running backs who were already on IR because he saw they were still available. I also will leave a couple of last years mags laying around.

That show is hilarious. Between The League and Archer, FX has really earned my respect.

Well I don't know if this counts as scumbag but I'll throw it out there and let everyone else judge haha.

So I had just won my Week 14 in last year's playoffs in one of my military leagues, and here I am the HUGE underdog ready to go against the undefeated juggernaut in Week 15. This guy definitely wasn't the most savvy fantasy player in the league but somehow via 2010 trading and lucky drafting got his hands on Rodgers, McCoy, Sproles, and Gronkowski. Safe to say he was absolutely destroying every single team week to week. No lineup decisions to make, just plug and play the whole year pretty much.

I on the other hand had a very mediocre and underachieving team but I was absolutely on fire with my lineup decisions towards the end of the year, especially with my IDPers. When I realized I'd be playing him in Week 15, I quickly checked the match-ups to see what was going on. To my sheer horror, as if his starting lineup wasn't dominating enough, Murray had just broken his ankle and this guy had Felix Jones against the Bucs just sitting there on his bench. Now another important tidbit was that along with Gronk as his TE, he was starting Tony G in his flex spot the entire year. After looking over his roster, clearly the no brainer move was to put in Felix for Tony G. I knew if he did that... the tiny chance I had at scoring the upset would be gone. Now keep in mind I had Gates on my team. So after panicking for a good 5 minutes, I suddenly have this moment of pure genius and hop on the SMACK TALK board and type the following message,

"3 of the greatest TEs in NFL history in one matchup!!!!"

LOL so I planted the seed and was anxiously checking this guys roster every few hours for 4 long and grueling days, hoping to God Tony G is was in his lineup by the Thursday night game. I had the biggest moment of celebration when that Falcons game started on Thursday night and saw Tony locked in his lineup.

When it was all said and done, Felix's 100 yards were sitting on his bench while Tony G just had 1 catch. He would have won if Felix was in his lineup and although he never admitted to being influenced by my "smack talk" message, I have a feeling it played in his decision to leave Felix on the bench.

A couple years back a few of us guys went down to sunset and murdered a hobo the night before the draft. We put the body in our leaguemate's trunk who had won the league the year before. The draft was online at 7PM, and around 3PM, someone called the cops and left an "anonymous tip". He didn't get out of the interrogation until almost 5AM the next morninig. Too bad his auto-drafted team still finished 3rd.

I give that a medium-spicy rating.

Sounds to me like he probably was the savviest fantasy player in the league. By a mile.

I traded a leaguemate Derrick Alexander and something for Isaac Bruce back in the Rams' heyday. He was quite satisfied... until he discovered the 'Derrick Alexander' I gave him was not the high scoring Kansas City deep threat but rather a back up defensive end for Cleveland.
