Today is a day that will live in infamy, as we rev up for our inaugural Champlain fantasy football draft. At the last minute we had to switch from one fantasy football website to another because the first one would only allow us to have a live computer draft - which sounded too chaotic/stressful for a bunch of newbies. The one we chose is going to allow us to carry out our draft offline (and then, much as with my fantasy baseball team) I'll add the players in later. It should make for a more relaxed and fun-filled evening. With the exception of a couple (quiet) ringers none of us know what we're doing so there should be much foolishness. My hope is that my team, the Springfield Buffalo, avoids complete humiliation - especially in their Week 1 death match with Cyndi Brandenburg's Mojo Nixons.
