This was the first Champeens Fantasy Football draft hosted by Three Girls Can and the first in which Emi participated as an independent owner. The joint was tricked out.
Owners present: Melissa, Lisa (owner of the newly renamed "Mossy Stones"), Brian, Olivia (the returning champ), Scott (who experienced a flat tire on his hour drive up), and Me. Present via video live feed: Dusty. Drafting by proxy: Ada David and Cousin Dustin.
Emi and I brought crownies. I ate nausage balls and a tremendous amount of dip and talked to Scott about his daughter's first weeks in the Honors Program at Mississippi State (there was an active shooter on campus). 'Liv wore an OU shirt but denied that it was intended as a signal of the college she intends to enroll in two years from now. Dusty (in his 11th season in the league) complained that he didn't understand the off-season keeper rules which have been in place since at least 2007). Brian tolerated these complaints calmly, and I drafted Antonio Brown.
The Panama Witchhat's first draft:
Rookie #1: Melvin Gordon, RB, San Diego.
Trade: #1 pick and #4 pick to World Workers United for their #2 and Odell Beckham, Jr., WR, New York Giants.
