How to get the most out of draught nite

Let's face it, the draft is all about bs & attitude. Homework is for no-life wussies. If you don't have fun on draft night, what is the point of living?

After  last fall's draft day disaster you promised yourself that next time you would be ready. It's widely accepted that it's never too early to prepare. The early bird gets the worm. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. What a crock of nonsense!

While all your friends are participating in countless mock drafts, you sit on your fat stores doing nothing. You don't remember who won the Heisman Trophy and it doesn't concern you. Last season is a blur, a faded memory. The less you remember the better, because while history may repeat itself in real life, the same can not be said for fantasy football.

Next year, you will dominate your league (or at least enjoy draft night) because you will bring a new attitude to the table. Hey, it worked for Brian Billick didn't it? (Oh yeah, that's history... and we don't care about the past, do we?)

For arguments sake let's analyze a typical live draft:

The first rounds are fairly predictable and move by quickly. Last years studs fly off the board faster than Dick Vermeil can change his mind.  But what then? By round five some genius decides to start a run on defenses or kickers, or heaven forbid -- tight ends. Like it really matters. You can't tell who will get injured, who will start, who will sit out. You can’t even count on coaches giving accurate injury reports.

So what is a drafter to do?

The answer is so obvious it's simple.

Drink.

Beer.

Massive quantities.

You simply can't drink enough beer fast enough to get wasted before the 4th or 5th round. The body can't absorb the alcohol fast enough. You'll be amazed at how stupid everyone else's picks look when you are in the bag. Here's the best part... the psychological edge you gain over your opponents is enormous. If your team sucks, you can blame it on the beer, but if you kick butt, they have to admit to losing to a guy who spent the last half of the draft passed out on the floor beside John Riggins.

So how do I prepare for the draft?

It just keeps getting better, doesn't it? While all your friends are scouring the internet for information, you will be conducting your own training.  Remember, low weight/hi reps is the best method to help you reach your goal. I recommend 12 oz curls... 3 sets of 5 reps per day.

Well? What are you waiting for? Get busy! Draft day will be here before you know it.
