Where the hell is everyone? It's just OA and myself playing??

I'm in JG.

Me too.

This is the whole game? Pick the top 15 draftees? No second round/ No third round?

This won't be much fun. Too easy . Besides. It's a sprint. I prefer the marathons.

Points are based on accuracy:

Scoring Grid:
32 pts - correct pick
16 pts - 1 pick off
8 pts - 2 picks off
4 pts - 3 picks off
2 pts - 4 picks off
1 pt - 5 picks off
0 pts - 6+ picks off

So if I'm thinking about this correctly, we really only have to pick the first 20 slots, right??

Looks that way....

I'm gonna play, but I'm gonna make my excuses before the game even starts. After the top 4 or 5 guys, I've barely even heard of any of these players.

So I guess I'll buy the newspaper and look at somebody's mock draft and go by that.

Yeah, I know, that's "research". But it's different than baseball and basketball. I do research, but then I can at least formulate an opinion of my own based on what the research tells me.

This game will strictly be a 100% crapshoot, so if I somehow win I can assure you I'll do no crowing.

Crapshoot? You got that right. I don't know anything about any of these guys. Uber points, man -- Uber points!

Get your picks in - it starts tomorrow morning!

Yeah, the game locks at noon. Twenty picks....I guess I better give myself at least 10 minutes :rolleyes:

Actually only 15 picks.

One hour to go. Everyone all excited? :rolleyes:

What? It's over already? How many uber points did I get?

Was it as fun for you as it was for me? :rolleyes:

Do you need a cigarette, DB? :p

I don't smoke, Crabby. What you do is spoon your computer for 15 minutes until she falls asleep! :p

I don't smoke either. I always wonder what us non-smokers do in situations like this. Thanks for the advice.
