    Pretty cool event again this year. Bigger than last year, lot more entertaining. This is something that was started a few years ago by Adam Wainwright, a bunch of MLB teams do this now and Wainwright's brother manages it, travels from park to park running these drafts. Nice job.

    It's for a charity Wright's involved in called Big League Impact. Gotta say, he is one of the most sincere and down to earth professional athletes you could ever hope to meet. Truly one of the good guys.

    This year-in my league-we had deGrom and Syndergard. The other leagues had Wright, Murph and Niese. Harvey was scheduled to do it but the event got pushed back a few days and it turned out to be his day to pitch. Signed baseballs and pics and stuff and some pretty cool prizes if you win-which I don't think I will.

    My lawyer brought Adam Schefter with him and he helped us out a bit, but he absolutely stacked my buddies team. Funny guy, exactly as you see him on TV, fast talker, really put together and a bit of a ball buster. Good sense of humor.

    My team, drafting 2nd in a 14 team PPR league.

    I wanted AP but my buddy drafted first and Schefter was torn between AP and Bell, but because of the 2 games advised him to take AP but said I couldn't go wrong with Bell:

    Levon Bell
    AJ Green
    Aaron Rogers
    Carlos Hyde
    Travis Kelce
    Darren Sproles
    Vincent Jackson
    Bishop Sankey
    Terrance Williams
    Alfred Blue
    Breshard Perriman
    Carson Palmer
    Bengals Defense
    Denard Robinson
    2 open slots for waiver claims

    Loved you're first three pics but fell off after that. Highlights are Terrance Williams and Palmer late.

    Yeah I don't do this a lot. I'm not planning on winning but I'll give it an effort. Bunch of guys I'd like to pick up on waivers that didn't get drafted.

    Only my second FF ever. Not a huge fan but it's a great event so I do it.

    Actually had Sproles last year as a flex player and he won me a few games, so I picked him again.

    Stokes only plays FF with celebrities.

    Nice draft. Can't believe you got Rodgers in the 3rd. First 5 picks were solid. After that it's crap. Nice core tho, you can win with some waiver moves.

    And don't lie you are so into FF, last year you were addicted.

    Have to agree there. Being a first timer, it was just pissing me off with some of the outcomes of my games, losing by a point when fucking AJ Green got a toe hangnail and got me zero points.

    And fuck Reggie Bush, that guy sucks.
