Whenever works for me. I will try my best to make it, but I would be happy with autodraft, I did last year and I had a decent team.

Draft Order

1 Betolis
2 Krakens
3 BallsDeep
4 Forte's and Nines
5 The Black Quackers
6 Straight Cash
7 gwcr Steelers
8 Silver City
9 Flying Pigs
10 BB Repeaters

Yesterday I ran a mock and was very glad I did, because I got confused by some of the buttons which I had forgotten ; it was worth the ugly chore of putting all my rankings in. (Hint: it goes smoother if you first rank each position separately). Good Luck All.

Looks like we're staying at 10 teams this year. I modified the league this morning dropping it to 10 teams. Not a big deal as each team should be stronger, and each week should be more competitive. Draft is tonight at 7PM CT. If you can't make it, set your draft order and the system will auto draft for you. If you can make it, please make sure to log in at least 10 minutes early to make sure you don't have any problems with the draft room. I'll be online about 6:45 and will do what I can to help if anyone has any issues.

Good Luck!!

Shhhhh........... can you hear it?

The Borg quickens.

Can a defending champion rise from the depths of last pick? The competion is tough, as we have added promising new challengers, including a seasoned fantasy veteran, and the rookies of last year have become well-honed fantasy football contenders.

How will it all end? We shall see as the new season begins. Today. TODAY!

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?

BEERBORG FANTASY FOOTBALL?

I am

I am ready. Just finishing up with dinner. And I will crack open a bomber of Stone Collective Distortion IPA to sip on while drafting one hell of a fantasy team. Bring on the football!!!!

Feedbag empty. Pouring a pint or 3 of my APA for the draft. Ready to roll!!

Great draft everyone. Good luck this season. Make sure you have your starting lineups set for the first game on Thursday!

Thanks again for setting this up Glen. I know it's just one more thing to worry about...but I (we) appreciate you doing this.

Sorry if BB2 was a little jumpy guys I guess that was my fault for doing this...

OFF TOPIC QUESTION:

I don't eat hot wings often, but I like them every now and then. When the burning starts to get too much, what is the best thing to cool off with? I know milk works, and I *think* that blue cheese dip does but I don't like it. Anything else? Ranch dressing? Radishes (looking at the pic above)?

Milk is truly the best for cooling off your mouth after spicy foods, because it contains casein. Casein is a protein that binds well with capsaicin, which is the molecule that causes the fire in your mouth. Anything containing milk (sour cream, maybe even cheese?) could potentially help, but most milk-derived products won't contain as much casein as straight up milk.

Avoid water-based beverages, as they will just spread the capsaicin around your mouth and make you feel more fiery after the initial cooldown.

And there's your food science lesson for the day, kids!

Yeah all those vegies chilled from the fridge help but not as much as the cold brewkies.

I don't like them so hot that they make sweat appear on my brow but BB2 eats fresh jalepenos at breakfast.
