Hello everybody and welcome to the inaugural daily wire fantasy football draft party.

Brought to you by Crandon Company here. We're very excited. There's a lot of tents.

Already heated exchanges. We've had going on, but welcome. It's about to be a lot of fun.

All right, without further ado, let's kick it to our host and commissioner who will be

booed mercilessly. Cabot Phillips. Hello everyone. Thank you. Thank you, Peter. That wasn't even,

Up second before we get any more OJ Simpson jokes. He's a man with a name so nice, you got to say it

almost twice. His name is Blaine Crane. Blaine. What's up? Oh, feeling great. You know, got to

the set this morning and the trophy was already sitting on my table. So I'm already kind of a

lock-in for the league. This ought to be easy and somewhat fun. And I get to beat my brother

at the same time. What a win. We'll get to your brother because he's picking third. It's a man

whose passion for fantasy football is matched only by his passion for serving underprivileged

children in his community. He's a great, great man. His name is Jake Crane. Yeah, you know, it's
