Crappy Draft Position
Written by Dr Furious on October 21, 2005
God (the all-power deity in this case) must really not like Furious these days. Does he know that fantasy means a whole lot to me and that I spend an exorbitant amount of time combing stats? Does he know that finishing in the bottom of a rotogod league will result in a lot of shit talk in my direction and unnecessary stress? Is God aware that I all really want is to win one league? Well if he is cognizant of all these things, he must not care because I cannot get a high draft pick to save my life this roto season.
I am not sure what I have done to incur his wrath. I have been going to church fairly regularly. I have not gotten arrested lately. The hate does not flow as freely as it used to, and I even saved a small child from drowning. All these deeds have done absolutely squat toward Furious receiving a high draft pick. Take a look at where I have drafted in leagues this season.
League Name followed by my draft position position
Whaddapuck I (hockey): 8 out of 12
The Trap (hockey): 8 out of 10
*Road 2 17 (basketball): 11 out of 14
*WLDL (football): 8 out of 14
**CFG Expert (football): 1 out of 10
KFBA Rotogods (baskeball): 16 out of 16
* Draft order not random, based on reverse order from prior season
** The only good pick I have had all f&$king year
I do not know about the rest of you, but I think that is some really crappy draft position right there. I mean seriously, the sixteenth pick in the KFBA League? It is not like a sixteen-team league is deep or anything. It is not like being able to draft guys like Kevin Garnett or Dwyane Wade would help my squad. Shoot, my first round pick may end up being Marvin Williams at this point.
I am not sure why God is tryin' to keep a brother down, but all I can do is hope that it ends soon. Otherwise you might all be seeing a lot more fury from Furious. Believe me when I tell you … that is never a good thing.
Before I wrap this puppy up, I just wanted to throw a couple of things out there. First of all, for all you hockey fans, The Trap (rotogod hockey league mentioned above) is going to expand. Anyone that is knowledgeable and interested in a semi-competitive fantasy hockey league (for some reason the ‘gods are not really feelin’ hockey), shoot me an email. There may be a couple of spots available next season. Just make sure you do not end up on the wrong side of a horrible trade, because that makes you … the prison bitch. Also visit our boys at CFG and KFBA. Have a great weekend folks and I will see you on the flip side.

So let's see......you're complaining that you can't get a high draft pick, yet you've had one #1 draft pick? Huh?
