My most celebrated league the East Coast Blitzers (a CBS league) finally came to time agreements and had the draft on Sunday night at 7:30 at the Commissioner's house. I actually showed up just in time to make my first pick. I was placed in the 8th drafting position.
This is the 7th season of this league. The drafts have always been in person and done on paper. This year the internet was incorporated to speed up things and accommodate a couple managers that just couldn't make it at all. The managers in this league range from a guy who drafted Barry Sanders in the late rounds in his first Fantasy Football experience to me, the youngest of the bunch at 29 years of age.
I love CBS for Fantasy Football, its very detailed, precise, and has a professional feel to it. Also the message board which sends out mass emails promotes trash talk and is heavily used in my league. I am probably considered a premier trash talker. I'm not the head honcho of Trash talk, that would have to go to last year's Champions, Selfah Club, who also received (by the luck of the draw) the first pick this year.
The first four seasons of this league was dominated by the owner that is closest to me in age and a long time friend, Ian Buchanan. He is the owner of the Untouchables. Their team brought home the trophy in 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007.
I've only been in the league since 2005. In 2005 I ended my season 7-6, plus 3 more wins in the consolation playoffs to win the "Con-Crown" as the Con Playoffs champ. I ended that season on a 6 game winning streak. So I felt like I would be ready to take all challengers the next year. Unfortunately 2006 my team was 3-10, followed by an immediate loss in the Con-Playoffs. 2007 was a little better but not much better my final record was 4-9, then 1 win and 1 loss to finish me off in the Con-Playoffs. Finally 2008 was here, and my trash talk even through my losses had never slowed down, every team knew when it was time to play me and my team was always a wild card. 2008 I lead my division going into the playoffs, knocked off the reigning dynasty (the Untouchables) to waltz into the Championship game and take home the trophy. I ended my season 9-4, plus 2 wins in the post season (including the Championship game). 2009 my team was also 9-4 but didn't win my division and ended up losing in the first round of the playoffs.
This year with the 8th pick I'm feeling very confident about my team returning to the playoffs and contending for the trophy yet again.
Two days after the draft I dropped WR Danny Amendola and picked up Mark Sanchez after another owner dropped him. Hopefully I can depend on him for Aaron Rodgers week 10 bye week. But for now I still have my eyes open for other prospects.
One slight issue that I have with my current team, is that my defense plays my QB twice a year. So it is necessary for me to have a replacement DST for those two weeks as well as their bye week.
