Initial Championship Odds……….Straight from Vegas (and Cole’s loud mouth at the bar), here are your odds to win the title:
| Team | Captain | Odds | |
| Hi-Liters | Tommy | 3:1 | |
| Hoops I Did It Again | Curt | 7:1 | |
| Handsome Boy Modeling School | Justin | 12:1 | |
| Dadbod Does The Shammgod | Cole | 15:1 | |
| Team Mike | Mike M. | 28:1 | |
| Team Ford | Mike F. | LOL |
Draft Winners:
Curt came away with great team balance and depth, not paying more than $20 for any player. Strategy or accident?????
Tall Justin came away with guard after guard after guard after speed after speed after speed. They could be VERY hard to guard. Side bet of regular season wins is set at 5.5. Bobby from team Justin. This dude is what this league is fucking about. He paid his club membership and bought a mug before stepping on the freaking court, days ahead of the open run, before anyone even knew his name. Kudos to you new guy. Buy this man a beer.
Draft Losers:
Every draft has it’s Eli Manning/Chargers draft moment. This draft was no different. In this case it was Richie Creamer throwing a temper-tantrum and storming out of the gym after being selected by Mike Ford. It was really one of those, “You have to be there.” moments. It was a combination of someone finding out their dog died and their wife cheated on them at the same time.
Chris Cole spent $13 on……..KELLEN?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? WTF?!?!?!?! was Cole thinking. Kellen spent most of last season averaging a negative GAPE. Blackmail? Dirty photos? Golf jealousy? Whatever Kellen has over Cole is strong ’cause……bruh……. $13…….for………Kellen. Almost as bad as $31 for Cole last session.
Not a winner or loser, but a head-scratcher:The Mel Kipers and Todd McShays of the world were wondering what Mike Maliki was doing on draft night. It wasn’t so much a question of the talent he drafted, but of how those pieces will fit together. Only time will tell I guess.
Stay tuned for next week’s e-mail from Grinders HQ. I hear they are cooking up something very……..poetic.
