The Sanderson Gazette - 2012-08-13 - Don't Do What Donny Don't Does
Richie: Poor Ryan Mathews.
Ed: And me.
Richie: Your keeper?
Richie: No, I don't feel bad for you.
Special Draft Section
The best day of the fantasy year is five days away! The draft is this Saturday, the 18th, at 2:00 pm. Get ready with this handy guide!
DO: Be there at least fifteen minutes early. You'll want to settle in before picking, and I'd really like to start at 2:00 on the dot.
DON'T: Forget to bring a laptop, iPad, or at the very least, a printed out list of player rankings. I'll have the draft board (link) up on the TV, and it will act as the chatroom for those of you drafting remotely. And as a place for Allen to randomly shout "kettle drums!"
DO: Check out all the keepers on the draft board ahead of time. This will help you plan out your first few rounds' worth of targeted players ahead of time.
DON'T: Draft the Steelers defense in the third round. They will not score 200 points and we are not all bitches.
DO: Let me know if you'll be there in person or remotely, and worst case, if you can't do either, send me a list of instructions or designate a proxy.
DON'T: Blast songs by Pink during the draft. That's Allen's job
DO: Bring your $30 entry fee (or to mail it to me, if that's the case: 3514 N. Leavitt, Chicago, IL, 60618).
DON'T: Worry about going out of your way to bring refreshments. I'll have some food and beer, and there's a good liquor store on my corner if anyone wants to pick up more.
DO: Prepare for an awesome time! Everyone is welcome to hang out or go out afterwards, and to crash at my place if necessary. Just let me know ahead of time if you'll need to.
