Fantasy Football!!

My name is Brian Delehant and I play fantasy football.

I love fantasy football. One of the things that I start to look forward to once August hits us is draft day. Here's some reminders for your fantasy football draft.

1) You have to schedule a day for your draft. This part is NEVER easy. You have 8 to 16 teams (or maybe more) and that means you have 8 to 16 schedules that you have to coordinate to determine a time when you can all get together. Good Luck.

2) You need a place to hold your draft. Do you go to a house? Do you go to a bar? You need beer, you need snacks and most importantly NO KIDS (team owners need to focus. You don't see any kids running around in the war room during the NFL draft, do you?).

3) You need to speak loud AND turn up your hearing aids. There is nothing more annoying than getting to the 6th round and having somebody draft a player that was taken in the 2ND ROUND.

4) Be prepared. Don't get to the draft and ask a fellow manager to look off their sheets. Do your homework, get your own magazines and be ready. Everyone else is, you should too.

5) And finally, TALK SMACK. Everybody can do this on the day of the draft, because you haven't lost yet. In your head, your team is made up of nothing but all stars and you're going to run the table and make your opponents look silly. That is until game one when you lose 115-25.

Let the games begin!
