For a long time I've actually thought about doing a "Greatest American" draft, with President being one category.

So do it. Do it.

I'd love to. I just don't have the time right now to manage it. Maybe over the summer? Either that, or I'll gladly participate if someone else wants to run it.

I'd be happy to run it O.C. Who else wants in?Rules: does not have to be born in America, but must associate his or her life with America in some fashion.

I don't think there should be categories, just an overall draft. I can think of great Americans who might not fit into any of those categories.

 

[Moe Green]

Two rounds and no Ronald Reagan -- gimme him at 2.04.

 

[timschochet]

Oh yeah, and for this thread: Jefferson Davis.

There is usually a wild card spot in these to cover the hard to fit people/things.

 

[timschochet]

Gotta run, but again, I'd be happy to oversee Orange Crush's idea of a great American draft. If I oversee it, I won't be a participant, but will freely comment on everybody else's choices. If somebody else wants to run the draft, then I want in. Let me know.

 

[B-Deep]

I am thinking Grant may be a good pickup next round, he'd bring fine cigars and vulgar language to the team.

Although Van Buren gets bonus points for being our most insane president in terms of appearance:

and he has the VanB boys gang in tow

2.05 Dwight Eisenhower

Ah, no, sorry.

FAIR TAX! FAIR TAX! FAIR TAX!

I don't like categories. Suppose we have 20 people in the draft. There might be 70 political leaders worthy of being chosen in our history, for instance, and only 13 social reformers. Then the draft becomes uneven, and many worthy people are left out, while some total stretches are put in. Besides, what about people in multiple categories? Better simply to be able to choose who you want without restriction.

 

[Orange Crush]

I was thinking this for categories:

* President

* General / Military Figure

* Statesman / Bureacrat

* Scientest

* Business Mogul

* Humanitarian

* Artist / Author

* Woman

* Sports Figure

* Patriotic Symbol / Icon

A person could only be selected in one category. So those who could fit into multiple categories could be selected to prevent him from being selected in another (think G.Washington).

The last category would be like what your team would have on the side of their football helmet. I kinda like that idea.

I like this list, although I don't see the need to have a separate Woman category, and definitely think Journalist should be a unique category (in the hopes that someone will pick Rush Limbaugh and cause me to go into fits of convulsive laughter).

3.1 Sarah Palin

Wait for it...

 

[Big Daddy Kane]

3.2 John F. Kennedy

Steal of the m'f'n draft!!!

Team BDK: Lincoln/FDR/Kennedy You guys might as well crown my ###.

We're already a testosterone-heavy board, so I think it's very possible to do this draft without a single woman being taken if they don't get their own category. Since a big plus to these kinds of drafts is learning about people that we otherwise wouldn't know much about, the woman category is really there to stretch our knowledge of American history. Plus, it's got great potential for schtick!
