Draft Day Suit

The most important night of your entire life…or something close, at least.

Still need a few more people to sign up for the DDS Fantasy Hockey league.  If we don’t have all teams claimed by about 8pm ET, they will dump our draft, and you don’t want that kind of blood on your hands, do you?

By the way, it’s free.  While I love winning money, I hate losing money more and my chances of winning are incredibly slim.   Hence, free.  And why you really only get to win bragging rights during the off-season and a nice facsimile of the real Stanley Cup.

If you’re not already a fantasy sports user on ESPN, just register.   It’s free and it’s easy.

Unfortunately, if we’re still short a few teams later today, I will have to open this up to the actual public, and I can’t be sure that we will still have cool people joining the league if that happens.

So there, enough guilt for ya?

Hi there.   Thought before I jump into any tough trash talk, I should introduce myself a little.

My name is Colleen and I’m a Fantasy Sports Addict.  My husband used to be part of a fantasy football league with some co-workers and I thought it was stupid.  Especially considering how much money he kept losing each season.  He offered to have me join and being the frugal freak that I am, I backed away like he was holding a dead skunk.  No WAY was I going to lose TWICE the money we already were.

Then came last season where some gals I knew through Twitter and Plurk were talking about a Twitter/Plurk league, but no one wanted to be the commissioner.  After I made the disclaimer about my cheapness, we agreed on a flat $10 to go to the winner, and I agreed to head up the league.  We even had one token guy join the league, and in the end, DDS’ own ClumberKim won.  I had fun the entire season (except when I saw that GoonSquad Sarah “stole” my Bears for her team’s defense) and soon found myself joining a bunch of strangers on a fantasy hockey league.  And even though I loathe baseball and know nothing about it except that the Cubs suck, I joined a fantasy baseball league.

And presently?  I’m in three football leagues.  And I’m starting a DDS hockey league.  Please join.  Please be my enabler.  Be my supplier.  Plus, as I see it, it’s an easy way for me to satisfy that competitive craving while still feeding the statistical dork in me.  Oh, and it helps give me stuff to write about here since most of my sports trash talk consists of me laughing at the Redskins.

Winning team gets a Stanley Cup and bragging rights.

Can’t get enough fantasy football?

How about a nice Survival League?

Or a nice salary cap league?

Come on people! Playing by yourself is no fun.

You know what I mean.

I am pretty much always talking about Fantasy Football. That is what I talk about from August until December, sometimes even January.

If you haven’t signed up for the Draft Day Suit fantasy league there is still room, but if you are feeling adventurous I’ve got another option for you DDS writers and fans. Team fantasy football.

Seriously, team fantasy football. Go check it out. I’ll wait.

*twiddles thumbs*

Cool, huh?

I am going to give it a whirl this year. If you would like to join me leave me a comment, I will take up to nine other people (first come first served) and then I will set a live draft time. We can do it online and it should only take an hour. (Less if you people don’t screw around.)

It will be fun. Don’t be intimidated. I’ve never done this before either.

No, I’m not hitting on you.
