Draft Day! (1 Viewer)

I took a plain white T, a black sharpie marker, and wrote 2009 league champion in big bold letters across the front. Just for a laugh, and of course to rub it in my leaguemates face a bit.

 
Wearing a Jersey is so yesterday. I'm thinking of not even wearing one to the games anymore. You look around and there's a million people with the same Jersey as you and I say....what's the point. I think a simple t-shirt with a pack of smokes rolled up in the sleeve (even if you don't smoke, which I don't) and a pair of jeans with mustard and ketchup stains on them, and a pair of sandels with socks, and top it off with love/hate tattoo on the knuckles of each hand. Yep, that should scare the hell out of them.

 
All I have is an old Elway jersey and Cutler Bronco jersey.

But the guy that showed up at our last draft with his Bronco Brandon Marshall Jersey and he took tape and covered the name and wrote in "Tebow" in magic marker was pretty creative.

 
I have two jerseys that are worthy of being worn on draft day.

Plummer white Cards jersey.

Jeff George Falcons jersey. The big number "1". I consider this one my "lucky" jersey, as it's what I was wearing 15 years ago when I met the woman who is now my wife.

 
In my dynasty league I drafted P. Manning 6 years ago. Got a Manning jersey that Christmas (along with the league title) - worn the 18 every year to the draft. Living in Chicago, it was not well received the year after the Bears lost the Superbowl to the Colts.

Was thinking about getting a Finley jersey...but the thought of wearing a Packer jersey... :yes:

You and I have different definitions of "luck."
 
I usually bring a few different jerseys to the draft. When its time to make my 1st pick, I will excuse myself and go to the restroom (I will stash 3 or 4 different jerseys in the ceiling the night before) and put on the jersey of the player I intend to pick. After a minute or two (building the drama), I'll cruise out wearing the jersey (in '09, M. Forte). Everyone goes nuts, laughing and cheering. It's become a real event for the league and even for the regular bar patrons. This year I am drafting 1.01, so I will just wear my new CJ jersey straight to the bar. Kind of anti-climactic, but it will be nice to not drop $300+ on jerseys I'll never wear.

 
My league has always done it a bit different. Instead of jerseys, everyone shows up in suits and ties (a change of pace for college kids) with briefcases full of cheat sheets. We like to make it feel as professional as possible.

Guess that depends upon the marriage. I am truly lucky with my wife and marriage.
