Boise LIVE!

On August 28-30 marked our 2nd annual "Boise Live Draft" for the Inlaw & Outlaw Fantasy Football League. This year our fantasy draft was held at the Red Lion in Boise, Idaho. Boise seems to be a nice meeting place for the Washington and Utah Managers. This year, Brady (Texas), Jeff (Colorado) and Brett (Ohio) each made a special effort to make the trip to Boise. Only Mark (Family) and Marty (BYU football game ?????? $^#%&#^# Northern Iowa???) did not make the trip. We excused Ric who left on a humanitarian trip to Guatemala. Its tough to blame Ric for missing out, besides he doesn't manage a team anyway. I think Ric's boys only invite him for his credit card!!! :>)

Weekend activities included dinner (Goodwood and Fudruckers), a movie, the flag football game, wiffle ball, THE DRAFT. a game of Risk and a good time catching up on things.

What a crew......


One of the theme's was 70's throwback. Jared's stash won hands down with Ben a close second.....


My brother Mike (the old man with the grey hair in back) traditionally buys lunch for the draft. This year it was a "Prime Rib Sandwich". Thanks Mike....... Eric ate his in 3 bites. Mike also announces the first round selections and then heckles.......


Complete concentration in the draft room! (Is Matt catching a peak at Jim and Ben's draft Q???)



Holding the "Secret" Vulgar Vulture Draft Book!

After three fantasy football drafts in six days, I think I'm burned out. I haven't even completed the first week of the season!!! This can only mean I will come home from church, check the scores and be grumpy the rest of the day because I didn't start the right guys!!! AAAAAGGGHHHHH, why do I play!

rod, you are hilarious! I had to steal some pics from your post since brett only took a few. I'm very impressed with your draft strategery book...Brett definitely doesn't do that much homework...funny, he still took 2nd place last year! (let the smack talkin' begin!)

Ok, so are you "final approach" when you post? I wasn't sure. Sorry brett didn't tell you about the bun in the oven. I'm surprised you hadn't heard already! Anywho, glad to see you finally have joined the blogging world! We'll check back often!

Good luck with all 3 FF leagues this season!
