Keepers are in!

I am such a fantasy football nerd. Not that this is a bad thing, though Barbara might say differently. But to a casual observer, July 31st isn't exactly a highwater mark of the year. Not so for fantasy football. Next to Christmas and a Saturday in late August (see below), I don't think I look forward to a day more than today. Because today I find out who everyone else in the league has kept! That means I find out who I'm going to take with the 1st pick in the draft!

Ah, the fantasy football draft. Months of preperation lead up to this day (the last Saturday in August aforementioned). Figuring out what the situation is with the offensive line in Tennessee or what the new head coach will do with his star wide receiver in Dallas. The minutiae that is pored over and pondered about leading up to the draft is indescribable. And having the #1 pick offers an added bonus. EVERYONE talks to you. And I mean everyone. They all want that first pick, and I've got it. And you know what. They ain't gettin' it! Becuase some idiot decided to put the best player in football (well, fantasy-wise) back on the market. So I can take him with my first pick! MWHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! Oh, poor souls. Now I have 3 of the top 10 players in the league. And I shall rule the world!!

How did you get the first pick? Is it on a rotation basis? Who did you choose? How did the last wknd in Aug go?
