Emporium Football League Draft (Split #1)

[The JoZ]

Once again, only you and me have team names that would actually reflect an NFL type scenario.

Oh well.

Can't wait for the season to start!

[VashTheStampede]

Unless the city of Chicago changes their name to "Care"...

[The JoZ]

Or any other cities change their names to "The"...

[VashTheStampede]

...actually that would be freaking awesome.

[The JoZ]

But it'd be even more awesome to live in the town of Alcoholic, IMO.

[VashTheStampede]

Easiest driver's exam EVER.

[The JoZ]

"Sir how many have you had today?"
"Only 3 beers"
"Sir, you know the legal minimum is 5"
"But I'm working on number 4 right now!"
"Sir, I'm afraid we'll have to ask you to step out of the car and get another beer"

[Christina]

I would like to note that the Care Bears are the offically Little Rock team of the EFL.

[Majin]

League needs more live draft.

[Alex Shelley]

With the first pick, the first man to wear the colors of an Ass Kicker is...

LaDanian Tomlinson

[The JoZ]

To the surprise of f*cking no one.

[Alex Shelley]

Actually I was kind of suprised

[The JoZ]

You were only surprised that you got the luck of getting to go first, and thus, picking him.

Come on, nobody worth their salt who went first was going to pass on LT. LT will be picked first in every fantasy NFL draft from now till the day he retires, or gets permanently injured.

[shortkut]

steven jackson (on st. louis, not carolina)

[Christina]

Larry Johnson

I'm so predictable.

[VashTheStampede]

Okay screw this paint-by-numbers crap. I'll be the first to make a horrible ballsy pick.

Reggie Bush :link:

[Shane]

Peyton Manning.

[VashTheStampede]

A NEW CHALLENGER APPROACHES!!!

We have been joined by Vermin's team: dr lulz

[BigDaddy]

I'll take the guy with the broken hand.

Frank Gore, RB for the 49ers

[The JoZ]

Okay, guess who else is going to make a horrible ballsy interesting pick?

With their first pick, the Blackout take...

Willie Parker

[ColoradoAvalancheFanMatt]

wow, I can't believe I got this one, considering 7 people in front of me

Shaun Alexander

[The JoZ]

I actually looked at his stats before selecting Parker, and I was not impressed with his last year or two.

I'm not trying to crap all over your pick, but I mean...there's probably reasons why he's still available to you :P

[BigDaddy]

His last year or two? Last year he was hampered by an injury, but two years ago he had an MVP season.

[VashTheStampede]

Look, he said God would heal his injury so he wouldn't have to miss games...and he missed games. Certainly God is against him.

[Majin]

With the 9th Pick in EFL, the Mahjin Warrior select, since Maurice Jones-Drew is still a backup, Carson Palmer.

[marasamune]

Gimme Matt Hasselbeck

[VashTheStampede]

Vermin selects Brian Westbrook and Tom Brady.

mara's up again

[marasamune]

edgerin james pls.

[Majin]

Rudi Johnson.

[ColoradoAvalancheFanMatt]

ok, I was contemplating a risk pick here, but I guess i'll just taxi that if it's still available later on.

Drew Brees me

[The JoZ]

Since CAFM just stole my pick, and since the guy I just researched had only 4 less TDs than Brees...

I'll take Phillip Rivers.

[BigDaddy]

Joseph Addai, RB for the Colts

[Shane]

Willils McGahee RB for the Ravens.

[VashTheStampede]

Travis Henry

[Christina]

Marc Bulger

[VashTheStampede]

shortkut selects Jon Kitna.

BPX has two picks to make.

[Alex Shelley]

I saw it right after I posted...

Maurice Jones-Drew - RB - Jaguars

Seeing as no one else has posted last second change....

Donovan McNab - QB

If that's not allowed :'(, Jay Cutler - QB

[The JoZ]

Philip Rivers - QB - Chargers

Maurice Jones-Drew - RB - Jaguars

Ooooh you're too late on Rivers son, I already got him :P

Try that again.

[VashTheStampede]

Based on the list he sent me, kut picks the Baltimore Ravens defense.

Christina chooses Lawrence Maroney.

I, being of sound mind and body, select this year's Madden cover boy, Vince Young,.

[Shane]

Bears DEF

[BigDaddy]

Antonio Gates, TE for the Chargers

[The JoZ]

I am real tempted to pick my DEF now...

Instead, I'm going to pick my backup QB, and make what I think is a ballsy call.

Blackout will take...

Jeff Garcia.

[ColoradoAvalancheFanMatt]

Vash is gonna call me a fanboy, but I really like what they did this offseason to reshape it:

Broncos Defense

[Majin]

I guess I'll drop the balls to get a receiver first.

Steve Smith.

[marasamune]

Hines "Motherf*cking" Ward.

[Vermin]

3rd round: tony gonzalez, TE, of the chiefs

4th round: chad johnson, WR, of the bengals

[marasamune]

Gimme Randy moss, I suppose. I'll get all my WR's out of the way
:D

[Majin]

Torry Holt.

[ColoradoAvalancheFanMatt]

Javon motherf*cking Walker

[The JoZ]

Marvin Motherf*ckin Harrison

[BigDaddy]

Reggie Wayne, WR for the Colts

[Shane]

Chris Chambers WR for Miami

[VashTheStampede]

Already got the Madden curse, so let's go after karma as well.

Terrell Owens. Bitches.

[Christina]

Marques Colston

[shortkut]

people here stole my picks... and my fish meme

Donald Driver

[Alex Shelley]

Anquan Boldin - WR

Roy Williams - WR

[shortkut]

Kellen Winslow

[Christina]

Todd Heap

[VashTheStampede]

Larry Fitzgerald.

Damn, he and TO share a bye week. Oh well.

[Shane]

Dallas Clark

[BigDaddy]

TJ Houshmandzadeh, WR for the Bengals

[The JoZ]

Since I realize I have at least one more starting receiver to pick from.

I'm going to make either a really bold, or a really stupid pick.

....

Calvin Johnson

[ColoradoAvalancheFanMatt]

eh, fuggit

Jeremy Shockey

[Majin]

Lee Evans.

Receiving core complete.

[marasamune]

Santana Moss

[Vermin]

andre johnson, WR, of the texans

deion branch, WR, of the seahawkz


i'm running out of ideas

[marasamune]

Carnell Williams

[VashTheStampede]

majin selects Thomas Jones.

caffum's up

[ColoradoAvalancheFanMatt]

Plaxico Buress

[The JoZ]

Can't be arsed to think of a wr now...

Dolphins' DEF.

[BigDaddy]

Laveranues Coles, WR for the Jets

[VashTheStampede]

BigDaddy is now clearly selecting wide receivers on the basis of how hard it is to spell their names.

24 hours have passed and so Shane has missed his spot, but can post at any time. We lost a LOT of time over the weekend, so let's actually check this thread every once in a while, 'k?

I'll take Darrell Jackson.

Christina's taking Reggie Brown.

kut is up.

[shortkut]

Joey Galloway (TB - WR)

[Shane]

Sorry I was at my dad's.

Walter Young-WR

[Alex Shelley]

LJ Smith - TE - Eagles

Raven's Def

[VashTheStampede]

Ravens D was taken already. Try again.

[The JoZ]

I think we need to speed up time between picks IMO...

Just a thought.

[VashTheStampede]

Yeah, starting with the next round we're switching to 12 hours.

[Alex Shelley]

Steelers D

[shortkut]

Ladell Betts (Was - RB)

[VashTheStampede]

Christina selects Bernard Berrian

I'm taking Vernon Davis

[Shane]

Deuce McAllister

[BigDaddy]

Jay Cutler, QB for the Broncos

[The JoZ]

Desmond Clark

[ColoradoAvalancheFanMatt]

Terry Glenn plz

[Majin]

I wanted to pick so bad I actually got on before work >.>

And one of the couple of picks that have been passed over somehow

Alge Crumpler

[The JoZ]

I wanted to pick so bad I actually got on before work >.>

And one of the couple of picks that have been passed over somehow

Alge Crumpler

I really almost picked him, but IMO, if Vick isn't quarterbacking down there...that's going to mean less production for guys like Crumpler.

That doesn't mean he'll have an awful season, but still. You never know :P

[VashTheStampede]

mara would normally have until 7:30 CST to make his pick but due to a miscommunication between him and I, he's gonna be able to make his pick anytime before midnight.

[Majin]

Seeing how Vick was a crummy passer, I don't see his stats changing much.

[Alex Shelley]

okay so a ton more posts showed up....

[marasamune]

Uh... Gimme the browns defense for lols.

[VashTheStampede]

Seeing how Vick was a crummy passer, I don't see his stats changing much.

Yeah, but Alge was Vick's security blanket.

Now his QB is Joey Harrington who's security blanket is an ACTUAL blanket.

[Vermin]

Matt Schaub aaaaaaand the Chargers' DEF

[marasamune]

Heath Miller. TE.

[Majin]

Nate Kaeding

[ColoradoAvalancheFanMatt]

Clinton Portis

[The JoZ]

Mark Clayton
