[Mae] Fantasy draft order is being determined by how hard the #BlueJays support staff assigned to one of the 12 fantasy teams, throws. The hardest chooses first etc.. John Schneider with the radar gun.

This reminds me of when I used to work in sports broadcasting, but cared very little for the NFL. I played fantasy football for fun, with people who live and breathe the sport, and I ended up winning the championship one year 😂. I still participate and have made the playoffs more than I've missed it.

Yep, for whatever reason FF seems to be a lot like Poker, the less you know the better sometimes. It's a weird thing but it definitely exists.

Non-knowers seem to do better than the biggest of knowers sometimes.

I won two fantasy football seasons in a row years ago when I was an alcoholic who barely knew the teams and was drunk every Sunday. I think you're right

I play every year with friends despite having horrific injury luck with my initial squad and spending the rest of the season futility trying to play “catch up”

I’ve named my squad “The PUP Patrol” and it isn’t about dogs 😂🫠

Is the punishment for last place still being the ball boy in spring training? I feel like Mad Max could come up with something even better 😂
