If you think someone is scouting your picks, simply mix in a few bad ones. I knew a guy who used to have an All You Can Eat Catfish promotion at his restaurant. If someone kept requesting fresh platters, he would eventually slip them a bad piece of catfish. Standard practice in the industry. Same principle applies here. ;)

I haven't really been looking at the "use of Anonymous" thread but glad I did today or I would have missed this classic. Love the changing of total eclipse of the sun.

Every year, part of my prep work is examining the previous year's drafts to see what worked, what didn't and what the heck was I thinking when I took that guy.

About 5 minutes.
Mark and I were having a battle of pictures and songs. I don't do pictures, so I was limited to songs.
Truth is, when getting involved with these Message Boards, for some reason the character in that song changed from a possible Warren Beatty or Mick Jagger to Gekko. :D
On my tombstone-
Wait! I never had the perfect draft!

If you're in DC 29 one of the bogus names belongs to the team named "Blame it on my ADP, baby..."

and that would be me, Deadheadz. But I also don't see any Parnelli in that league so maybe you're not in DC 29.

That or you're using a bogus name here...
We have never known what your real name is.. currently, in the 5 drafts that I have completed, in all of the owners lists for all of the leagues, there is only one person that doesn't list their real name... Anne Ominous, AKA Deadheadz. When is it that we will know your real name? You do realize that you cannot do a live draft under an alias, but in your case, you probably wish you could... :D

My true name showed up in the list of league winners from 2013.
I'm still undefeated at NFBC, btw.

You'll see my name again on every league I win in 2014.
