Around 13 hours to get through 13 picks to finish up 7 rounds. That seems doable.

Not bad considering the slow start.

I think if we can finish this round in like the next hourish then we can probably get the 8th round done.

Drive over to the UT area and share some of that fine stuff your smoking.

We will struggle to get through 7. But we can just make the executive decision to to make picks for people left after like 15 minutes starting at 10am. Thats about the only way imo. That makes the final 9 if 9 are left.

Haha I'm just trying to be optimistic. All I know is that after I make my picks either tonight or in the morning I probably wont get a chance to check the OC once I get to work. But I'm down for smoking some good stuff sometime!

Yeah, as of tomorrow, those days are done for me. At least, till I find out if drug tests are regular. Buckeye is bringing us on as employees (were independant contractors) and I have my drug test in the am.

I know a lot of companies do sign-on drug testing but its expensive (like $100/pop) to keep testing you.

Not sure yet. We get some benefits out of it, and a 401K. But they are bringing on an entire production company who were independent contractors for a reason. The government regulations have changed, it benefits them. We are giving up quite a bit of freedom, but in the end I think its good yes. Also will be easier for advancement within the whole company and not just the sports production section of it.

I assume piss. And I would, but I dont know any. The ENTIRE production company is being brought on. No one I have worked with over the last 2.5 years was an employee. I could ask sportswizurd I suppose lol.

Im thinking its this. Just the one time. Buckeye is swimming in money to be testing people after they are brought on.

So, once it gets to me, do I stop after 1 pick and not even dare to attempt round 8?

I suppose we can try round 8 and see where it goes. I just dont have much confidence in it. but if it doesnt get finished, just dont count the players taken. I dont see the harm in trying really.
