What Your Draft Day Attire Says About You

Fantasy football draft day isn't just a day to pick your team, it's also a time for a fashion statement. And that fashion statement says a lot about your state of mind and likelihood of winning your league.

Mr. Unemployed

His Attire: Bathrobe.
What it Means: He's lost his job, his girlfriend, and is living in a crappy apartment. He's lost hope and is desperately looking for something he can excel in. Fantasy football is his one chance at greatness. Be concerned because he can spend all day watching ESPN and grabbing guys off the waiver wire while you're at work.
Odds of Winning the Season: Very, Very High

Mr. Over the Top

His Attire: Face paint, team jersey, headband, wrist band, arm tats with his favorite team on them. If an actual game breaks out, he's ready to play.
What it Means: He loves football. No, really, he LOVES football. He loves it so much he doesn't have a girlfriend or any semblance of what guys call, "a chance in hell of getting a girl." Especially during football season. With no girl in the picture he has all the time in the world to scan injury reports and watch games.
Odds of Winning the Season: High

Miss Distraction

Her Attire: VERY low-cut shirt.
What it Means: She's hot and knows it. She uses her best assets to get what she wants and draft day is no different. As you ponder your first-round picks, she's leaning over to grab chips off the table, rubbing lotion on her arms and legs, and spilling beer down her chest ("Oopsies!"). You know what she's doing, and don't care. That is, until you realize you've drafted the entire Detroit Lions team.
Odds of Winning the Season: Medium

20 Fantasy Football Sleepers To Consider (2010)

QB
1. Joe Flacco (BAL) – It is difficult to classify Flacco as a sleeper considering he was already a very good QB, but we think 2010 will be the year he makes the transition from good to great. The addition of Pro Bowl WR Anquan Boldin should go a long way in making that happen.

2. Kevin Kolb (PHI) – Drafting a first year starter at QB is always a scary proposition for fantasy owners, but Kolb isn’t exactly your average first year starter. He has all the tools at his disposal to develop into a top tier fantasy QB in 2010. In fact, he reminds us a lot of Aaron Rodgers (both in situation and ability) and we all know how Rodgers turned out.

3. Alex Smith (SF) – It wasn’t long ago that Smith was considered one of the bigger busts in NFL history, but the former #1 overall draft pick appears to have turned the corner showing great promise in 2009. He should be even better in 2010 as Smith has a much improved offensive line, a loaded receiving corps and a soft schedule at his disposal.

Fantasy Football Sleeper: Philadelphia Eagles QB Kevin Kolb

     He has all the intangibles to go along with adequate arm strength, much improved accuracy and above average athleticism for a QB. Kolb can make just about any throw that is asked of him, both deep and short, and he is fleet of foot enough to escape from the pocket for a few yards when necessary. While Kolb is likely to experience a few growing pains in his first full season as the Eagles starting signal caller, he has already displayed the ability to become a top tier fantasy QB. In two regular season starts last season, Kolb averaged 359 passing yards and 2 TDs per game.

12 Personalities at Every Fantasy Football Draft

No matter where you live across this great country of ours, one thing binds all fantasy football enthusiasts together—the joy of the live draft. After doing dozens over the years, the Mac Bros. have come to the conclusion that there are 12 basic personalities at every draft.

The Favorite-Team Guy

He drafts only guys from his favorite NFL team....no matter how crappy the team might be. You know, that guy who's a die-hard Lions fan and he's sincerely smiling when he grabs QB Matt Stafford in the third round.

The Role Playing Guy

Believing that he's drafting an actual team, he HAS to make it as real as possible. Each pick involves a full-blown production: "With the fourth pick in the 10th round of the 2010 Fantasy Football draft, the Sorcerers Dragons team selects from the University of Florida and Heisman Trophy-winning Quarterback Tim Tebow." He's never invited back.

Emmitt Smith Cries While Thanking Moose

What a great moment captured last night during Emmitt Smith's Hall of Fame induction speech in Canton, Ohio. Through tears, the legendary running back shared his appreciation and love for his former teammate, fullback Daryl "Moose" Johnston. Although we didn't cry (actually Rob cried a little, but then pretended like he had something in his eye), it's hard not to get a lump in your throat. Congrats Emmitt!

QB McNabb Gets Pranked (VIDEO)

Following a recent practice, Washington Redskins TE Chris Cooley got a young fan to hide out in Donovan McNabb's locker and scare the crap out of him. Kudos to McNabb, who handled the prank well. And are we the only ones were half-expecting the former Philly QB to have a knee-jerk reaction and punch the kid out? Enjoy.

(BTW: DISREGARD THE MESSAGE THAT SAYS VIDEO WON'T PLAY. IT WILL PLAY. JUST WAIT A SECOND.)
