2019 Draft Weekend recap!

Wow, what a crazy Draft Weekend!  We had sweet digs at the hotel, a flurry of trades, surprising draft picks, wacky videos, and of course, the most incredible bingo ball roll of all time!!!

Let's start with big thanks again to Dave for scrambling to get us hooked up at this great hotel and fantastic boardroom!   Was a truly great venue and we always appreciate Dave's help with this (and promise to quit calling him Seabiscuit soon!).  So glad both Randy and Chuck could be there in person, it is never easy to pull this off with everyone in attendance and we all appreciate your efforts to attend.  Scott gets bonus points for serving as Minnesota GM/Wacky Video Producer/Draft Pick Tracker/DJ for Draft Picks.  Truly a Draft Weekend MVP!    Four years in, and I still laugh every time I hear Beck's song Burro start up  :-)  And those JibJab videos were equally entertaining and disturbing, and certainly memorable :-)  

This draft will forever be remembered by the first ever trade of a single bingo ball!  That one-in-seventy-five chance somehow came through and Toronto leapt to the front of the line and selected Miguel Andujar with the first overall pick.  Maine will ban any use of the number 31 in the future.  

This weekend was a little bittersweet too, as Fred announced this would be his last season.  In a very heartfelt and thoughtful speech, he conveyed his reasons and we of course all understand his decision and wish him well!  We will miss you in the league Fred, but will find ways to keep in touch whether it is by watching you rock out with your band, doing retro leagues, or hanging out at Lions tailgates!!!

Should have the league file out soon this week and we can "Play Ball".  Thanks all for a fun weekend, and looking forward to a great season!!!
