Want even more Fantasy Football advice? ESPN's "SportsCenter Fantasy Draft Special," set for Tuesday, Aug. 21 at 6:30 p.m. ET on ESPN hosted by Trey Wingo, will feature a mock fantasy football draft by a number of ESPN analysts and experts. Each participant will serve as a team owner, drafting players throughout, and subsequently subjecting themselves to the criticism, debate and analysis of their picks by the panel.

 

[Pittsburgh United]

Last year they had that boy band Backstreet Boy on there. I think he took Lamont Jordan at #7.

 

[BusMan]

That's tempting, but I'm more interested in the NFLN's take on college ball.

I watched this last year, was possibly the worst fantasy show ever. I remember Jaws insisting Manning should be taken #1 overall in every draft. These guys are really out of their league when it comes to FF.

Which is on from 6:30pm to 7:00pm EDT, despite the information in the link.

Be sure the other owners in your league know this valuable show airs tonight.

This show cracks me up every year. I really wish they tracked those teams throughout the year so we can see what they do...

Nick Leshay (sp?). That was two years ago I think. So it wasn't that bad a pick. In looking for something more on this, I found the 2006 rostershttp://sports.espn.go.com/fantasy/football...it/draftspecial

 

[Sinrman]

"Hey, It's Suzy Kolber, and with my 2nd round pick, who can go wrong with Mr. Packer himself -- BRETT FAVRE!"



A few know what the heck they are doing, but the rest need to stick with commentating and give it up on trying fantasy...

Yeah, I couldn't take it anymore after the CHI D/ST in the 4th and went out to edge my lawn...Right after Ditka said on camera that basically he was being fed the picks and had no idea how to do a fantasy draft, and then went on to insinuate he had "better things to do" than appear on the show, IIRC ...lol

I think someone also drafted the Steelers defense in like the third or close.

Oh, yes! i watched the Leshay year, but didn't think I saw last year's. But I do remember the Ditka thing; we probably shut it off around the same time. I'll probably tune in again anyway at least to start....

I'm actually watching the ESPN Draft Special, and so far it seems like an improvement on last year (although I didn't see it, I'm just basing that on the comments in this thread). I realized I can watch the college show on NFLN the next few days.

 

[BusMan]

Mr. Bryant,

Cato June needs to get set up with a free subscription and a spot in VBD 101.

[tomarken]

I agree that this show is horrific, but what's wrong with MJD in the 4th? Are you saying that's too early, or that he fell too far?

 

[ChitownPone]

19. Westy

S.O.D!!!!!!!

and if you but Harrison in the top ten you should clarify that is Marvin Harrison. This pick was so stupid that I had think "who is Harrison"

 

[TitusIII]

Is Sean Salisbury owning? Are you kidding me? Thomas Jones at #10? Which expert picked him so I can avoid him forever?

 

[Pittsburgh United]

You know it's a bad league when that idiot is owning it.I think Michael Smith is purposely trying to field a horrible team.

Cato June. Hardly an expert though.

Schlereth picked Portis in the 6th cause he can pick up the blitz.

Fell way to far. Course when Thomas Jones is selected ahead of him.............

 

[BIGGjohnny]

Adrian" The Cashier" Peterson....

Merrill Hoge nick-named him the Cashier because he will be making everyone "pay" and all the teams that didn't draft him "pay" this year.

Are you FN kidding me.....

This has to be the worst nick-name in the history of sports.

Kindly

BIGG Johnny

Team ########

 

[ScoobyDoo]

Kellen Winslow is selected now. Who? Yeah, that's what I said. And there goes the defense already.

Still on the board. That's where. And Witten just went. Run on "D" and TE" going right now. And the guy that took Witten already HAD A TE. ALREADY HAD ONE. Wow, idiot.

It was almost set up for a commercial down the road, it came off that cheesey

 

[RamMan]

That's tempting, but I'm more interested in the NFLN's take on college ball.

At this point, the "Paperclip and Gluestik" shopping channel would be more tempting....

 

[Slingblade]

Smith took witten instead of Brown.

With RBs of Peterson and MBIII. lol

 

[ScoobyDoo]

I think the funniest part is that they keep saying value. Now if I'm not mistaken this site is where you come for value based drafting. The least they could do is practice what they preach. And who is that guy playing "fantasy" expert?

 

[BusMan]

I agree that it's fun to rag on this as this is the premier FF think tank out there, but seriously, what did you expect from ESPN? Hopefully exactly what they're giving us.
