NFL expansion drafts are hard - that is what we learned. Cody texted me a week or two before we picked this team and said, "Our expansion team is really going to suck." This is amazing on a variety of levels:
1) He was thinking about a fake expansion team during work.
2) We could have created the rules that made our team awesome - but we did not.
3) Somehow, he screwed up and DID NOT KEEP HOPKINS ON THE TEXANS! He was SO confident about his picks in the pod, and yet, he screwed that up somehow.
And yet, here we are - two weeks after actually picking the expansion team starting line up and, you guessed it, I had totally forgotten to put it on our website. Would I rather be sleeping? yes. Would I rather be watching Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee with my wife? Probably. Would I rather be feeding my cat - ehhhh...
But at least my cat does not eat everything in the house (am I right, Cody?)
