what is real deal?

what is real deal?

It's another fantasy website I believe. They challenged us to put together a league mainly for bragging rights. And this is that league.

Ok, the owner of PeeWee's playhouse obviously didn't read the cafe memo on not drafting Peyton Manning in the first round. Dunn, Turner, Holmes? Are you kidding me?

Did the guy draft TE, K, D in rounds 4, 5, 6?

Edit: OK I see now that he took DDavis in the 3rd. But still, that is a bad, bad draft.

I don't think he was at the draft....I'm pretty sure it ended up being an autodraft. Hence the awful team.

OK well that explains it. Missing the draft -> autodraft = worse than a poor draft. That's like forgetting to buy presents for your loved ones during Christmas. Inexcusable. I guess the waiver wire is pretty competitive too, since he hasn't made any moves to drop his backup TE, K, and D and he is still sporting T.Green behind Manning.
