Wednesday, August 31 2022 marked our historic return to the now defunct halls of education where most of us met each other. The skeletal remains of Eddy Elementary have replaced scholarly pursuits with rooms of booze and a Keller Williams office, but the weight of Eagle Pride was still present in the heart and bowels of several attendees. With Ryan up north, Tan in Vegas, Kaiser in TexAss, and Trigger making the world safe by doing something in Northern Europe, 8/12 managers descended on St. Clair for a 75% showing, our highest ever. Even Kyle drove up, in his stupid Tampa Bay jersey.
The manager previously known as Nacho, who now runs the “Sir, this is a Wendys” squad was able to secure us a room from a shady right-wing power broker who sells guns or something probably. Despite some spotty internet, the location was a hit.
Yahoo did their level best to fuck us with an adjusted budget and nomination order at the last minute, but that really didn’t seem to hurt anyone else as much as it did me (in my heart), so I guess the night was a success.
Eventually, as those with the loosest of wallets succumbed to overpaying early, the night ended in what was basically a snake draft, with several of us simply unable to do anything until the better other teams got their 22 guys.
Bored with the process, Dave then killed the Duke.
After all of that, as some of the smarter members of the league bailed, fun was moved to Ms. Cornnish’s gym, where dominance was shown… by no one. Or, I guess Timmo.
The next morning we were not all thrilled to find out that Yahoo was too lazy to give out draft report cards (though they are usually meaningless anyhow), they did tell us that CTan won the draft. At least until Davante Adams gets behind the wheel or something. In 2020, they said Tim won the Draft, he finished 11th that year, and in 2021, they said Jones won it – and he then won the league, but not before a 2-3 start and 72 roster moves (second most in the league) totally reshaped his team.
Finally, look at that tubby fuck…
