The video is 7 minutes long, but well worth it. And the way it's edited, I'm not certain if the picks are represented in the proper order. I hope not anyway.

At Least They're Funny
Chris Cooley hosted the Washington Redskins fantasy draft, and recorded the whole thing. Jason Campbell, Santana Moss and Mike Sellers had teams, so did Chris Cooley's wife, who is really fuckin hot, but it was Fred Smoot who stole the show.

Funny or Douchey?
Pizza Parlor Derek is Commissioner of the Main Event Fantasy Football league, comprised mostly of Poopheads. Each year at the draft, PPD presents the winner (this year it was Billy) with his prize money, and a large mock check, like you see when corporations donate money to charity.
This year PPD went above and the call of duty and actually went to FedExKinko's and printed the check. Then he mounted it on a foam board provided by El Greco.
While I admire his hard work, I think it's a little too far to go for fantasy football.

SCZA's Fantasy
Last night (when I should have been in bed) I spent an hour listening (thanks to the internet) to the Fantasy Fix on ESPN890 in Boston. The show focuses on fantasy sports, obviously baseball, but hoping to move to football in the fall. It is hosted by Bob Halloran and Scott Isaacs.
The first caller was "Mike from Waltham" actually Shawn, posing for some reason.
The first e-mailer was Paul from Jersey. Scott read my comment ("you guys are agreeing too much") on air, but I really intended my critique for him personally. My point was this, the conversation went to Scott taking David Wright 7th in their fantasy league. Bob asked how high he'd have gone. Scott said fourth (after Pujols, A-Rod and maybe Santana). Bob should have challenged him on that point. Here is the argument to be made against taking Wright 4th.
1) Scott is a homer, Met fan.
2) Third base is actually a pretty strong and deep position. You have A-Rod and Miguel Cabrera (if he's eligible) who are both better than Wright. Then you have the second tier of Chavez, Ensberg, Ramirez and Blalock. You also have injury risks Rolen, Chipper and Glaus. And Chone Figgins could be a good pickup for steals. Including Wright that's 11 decent third basemen.
3) The Mets are a jinxed franchise.
4) The Mets play in a pitcher's park and it's been a while since a Mets offensive player was a top producer.
5) David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez will both hit for a higher average and both will probably get 10 HR and 25 RBI more than Wright.
And that last one is really my key point, because it's a Boston show, and a comment/argument like that Ramirez or Ortiz vs. Wright would really encourage callers.
But I enjoyed the show and will listen regularly. I would have had it blaring from the computer so I could have heard while I fell asleep (and I would have heard Shawn's call) but Kate's friend and her 2-month old son are staying with us, and it's very important not to wake the baby.
