Jerramy Stevens Challenge: Draft Results

This is a bit from The Simpsons I've wanted to try out for months.

"Hang up, call me back, and say the exact opposite of everything you just said."

"Flea Flicker is fantastic fantasy football service. Its usability and interface set the industry standard. Their brand is a needed addition to an underserviced market. Draft Advisor served as an indispensable aide, never condescending, and providing endless practical and savvy picks. The applet was stable and every participant was not simultaneously booted in the middle of the draft. I can say without irony, I will host all of my future drafts at Flea Flicker."

good luck man, you hurt yourself bad

Meanwhile, the Buccaneers’ re-signing of Stevens has triggered a firestorm on Tampa’s sports talk radio.

“I’ve said I will not let this die,” WDAE afternoon drive host Steve Duemig said. “I think it’s disgusting that he’s a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. We talked about Stevens for four hours Monday, and there wasn’t one dissenting opinion.”

Shortly after Tampa Bay’s 2007 season ended with an opening-round playoff loss to the Giants, a lengthy investigative story in The Seattle Times chronicled a disturbing portrait of Stevens’ legal woes at Washington, including a sexual assault case in 2000.

Citing insufficient evidence, prosecutors declined to file a rape charge against Stevens, who was suspended one game by the league last season because of a March 2007 DUI conviction in Arizona.

“Our phones haven’t stopped ringing since the Bucs announced Stevens is back,” said WDAE program director Mike Killabrew. “I know we are the flagship station for the Bucs, but this community is in an uproar.”

Why? Because the Seahawks rock my socks.

That's a tough challenge. My challenge? Try to setup fleaflicker to do a decent auto-draft...

Sort of. I had my players ranked before, but I knew there was a 25% I’d have to work late and miss he draft. I had two things specifically in mind when ranking my players: kickers and defenses really late, and my top QB’s were all ranked pretty low as well.

So what happens? The Spirit Crushers got killed by my auto-draft. I take Big Ben with my second round pick (#11 overall), and both a kicker and defense in the middle rounds. My final product:

B. Roethlisberger QB
L. Maroney RB
E. Graham RB
R. Moss WR
A. Gonzalez WR
T. Gonzalez TE
J. Brown K STL (boo)
Cowboys

Bench:

A. Rodgers QB
M. Forte RB
F. Taylor RB
R. Mendenhall
J. Galloway WR
N. Burleson WR
J. Gage WR

I added Burleson, Gage, Forte, and Taylor. They replaced Owen Daniels, Jerry Porter, Ryan Longwell and Redskins D. I believe this will be a challenging season unless I get pretty lucky.

That applet was friggin' awful

Great job FleaFlicker, for telling me to add multiple kickers and team defenses in the fifth round while booting me off for about 15 minutes leading up to the draft and another 5 minutes during.
