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 Raiders fan and he's sincerely smiling when he grabs QB Jason Campbell in the first round.
The Possessor
He's
in everybody's face. It's his belief that all NFL players belong to
him. If you happen to be within four turns of this guy, watch out. He
will point his finger and shake his fists, telling you, "Man, you just
stole my pick!" or "Dude, what are you doing? I was totally going to
pick that guy! YOU CAN'T DO THAT!"
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 2011 Fantasy Football draft, the Fighting Gandolfs team selects from the University of Florida, the Heisman Trophy-winning and God-fearing Quarterback Tim Tebow who possesses the running speed of elfin prince." He's never invited back.
