Anyone have some funny fantasy football draft stories?

Question

ex. Some guy shows up with last years fantasy football magazine and proceeds to announce his "sleepers".

So and so drafts Tiki Barber the year after he retires and claims Tiki will be back.

Answer 1

Some girl drafted Mendenhall in the second round and Brady Quinn AND Derek Anderson in the same draft

It was a mock though and she was a rookie making her mock debut

Answer 2

When the Missprounced Favre' s Name

(1,227,986 Favre Mention of the Week)

Answer 3

One guy in my money league is a huge Vikings fan (his name is Sven, for cryin' out loud).  Every year he goes way overboard with Vikings.  A couple of years ago, a friend of his tagged along to advise him (I dubbed his friend the "Draft Consigliere").  All was going well for about half of the draft, every now and then I would hear Sven's friend say "No you can't draft (some Viking).  Then about round 8 Sven's advisor goes to use the bathroom, and Sven's pick comes up while he's gone.  Needless to say, Sven immediately drafted some anonomous Viking and we all laughed our asses off.  

Last year we had a woman in the league for the first time.  She had the number one pick and took LT, so props to her there.  I can't remember who her 2nd pick was, it was a decent pick, but then with her third pick she goes for...Jason Elam.  That's right, a kicker in round 3.  Yes, she's a Bronco fan.  In round 5 she took Denver's D.  (I told her I would add a free agent kicker and D/ST during the year that would outscore Elam and Denver D/ST, and I did so- I got Mason Crosby in week 4 or so and added Indy's D when my regular D's bye came around).  The ironic thing is that she was able to trade LT for three players and ended up making the playoffs anyway, although she lost her first game.

Answer 4

I've been playing since the early 90's & have seen my share of drafting guys that just retired. one year we had a guy draft someone that hasn't played in 3 years & then the next round after getting h**l for it drafted another guy that had just retired. the rest of the day we had to hear.... "is SO & SO still playing?"

one year several of us showed up wearing funny outfits to mock the guy that had a fantasy football jersey made up. purple suits, swimming flippers, catchers mask & a guy even wore his wife's old prom dress.

last year a guy couldn't make it on time so he sent his dad to start him out. his dad ripped up his "list" & drafted off the top of his head picking guys that his son hated....... he finished 3rd. he's already said his dad may have to sub for him this year.

EDIT - laugh at the ladies if you wish BUT, i have 5 or 6 women playing in my fantasy group that will kick your BUTTS!

Answer 5

Yup today I had a draft (my seventh one) and some IDIOT takes Reggie Bush with the FIRST pick.

Some person accidentally logged off for a second and he auto picked and got Troy Smith in the SECOND round...LOL

Same draft...earlier today.

Answer 6

We have this guy who LOVES Pitt.  We all kept 4 players (keeper) and he picked first:  guess who------------->  Randel El !!!  Twas a hoot!  Happened 3 years ago.

Edit:  Yeah, what's up w/ girl managers and kickers?  Last year a first year manager (girl) picked Vinatieri in the FIRST round!!
