Draft A Huge Success

Once again, the Fantasy Olympics draft was an unmitigated success.  One would think that no night could live up to that historic and hallowed night of February 12, 2010, when the draft was held for the first ever Fantasy Olympiad.  But one is often wrong.  Drafting Olympic teams while watching athletes walk around in a circle on TV is one of those things you never believe you could achieve until you actually are doing it.

In a Hanukkah-like miracle, two mere cases of beer held out for the entire 4.5-hour long draft.

The superiority of our format is confirmed when comparing to this laughable excuse for an Olympic draft that I found in a Long Island newspaper.  These posers drafted nine individual athletes and three teams each, covering at most eight sports, and called it a night.  It's no wonder that most citizens of Suffolk County, New York, would rather read the label on a bottle of self-tanning lotion that this guy's column.

If you ever wondered what it would look like to tape eight Fantasy Summer Olympic rosters to a wall in Bloomfield, Pittsburgh, PA, it looks like this.
