2013 dead pool draft signup and discussion thread

[Erik]

Davidgrey is out for this year.

[griswold]

I'd like to get signups and draft order complete by tomorrow afternoon and the draft started on Friday. Is everyone OK with that?

I'll send another reminder to last year's participants who haven't re-upped yet.

Well, I'll be kind of out of touch all weekend as the Griswolds are going on a cruise (Fri thru Mon).

But I will have my phone for emails, etc.

I'll try to put a list together just in case....maybe when you have the draft order ready, I'll have a better idea on when I will be up.

Don't hold it up for me though....I'm someone can contact me...

Thanks!

I'll create the draft thread momentarily. Clock starts tomorrow morning at 9 AM Eastern but Revo is free to pick anytime before then if he wishes.

[Erik]

I was happy to draw pick #2 instead of pick #1, because Chavez is the obvious first pick, but there's a good chance he could die before the draft is over. Heck, given how secretive the Venezuelan govt. is being, he could be dead already.

[Mithrandir]

Davidgrey is out for this year.

Where did he go?

[Erik]

He said he's too busy to participate, but he hopes to check in on the site more frequently this year than he did last year.

I miss him in the bowling thread.

[revo]

hurry up, people! Chavez may not have too much time left!

[Erik]

True to form, we've come out heavy with the World Leaders That Suck (TM).

[Erik]

BG, who were you intending to take in the first round? Castro?

[Erik]

I have never heard of that football coach. I'm going to guess that he has terminal.....ummm.....ovarian cancer.

Jack Pardee? Coached in the NFL (Bears, Redskins, Houston Oilers), USFL (Houston Gamblers) and NCAA (U. of Houston) in the '70s, '80s and '90s. Terminal gallbladder cancer.
