Drafting with some sharks and a live friends and family draft.

That's what we're going to be talking about today on this bonus episode of stealing bananas.

I wrote of us. And, Sean, we are joining today a fantastic contest run by our friends over at

Spike Week. We're going to be drafting against some of our favorite buddies, many of whom have

been guests on the show before in a battle, it's a 12-person private league, but it's going to be a battle for a lot of things

because we've got a lot of like-minded people here. It's going to be a fun challenge.

It will. Bragging rights with this group is worth more than almost any prize, as I

like to say from time to time. I don't know if anybody else likes it, but you can't buy glory.

So we're looking forward to mix me up with this gang in this underdog contest. And one of the dynamics

that we'll definitely see, as you mentioned,

with the like-minded drafters, it'll be interesting to see who is able to kind of stick to their

normal strategy and deploy that within this draft and who decides to kind of zig and zag and

do something a little bit crazy. And then down the line, it'll be interesting to see which works.

Yep. And we drew the fifth pick, which is a really nice spot this year because there is sort of a top five.

It gives us a probably a nice opportunity to start with a wide receiver.

Somewhat hilariously, our buddy Peter Overzett drew the 101 in this draft.

He seems to get anyone who likes to watch his streams, he seems to

get the 101 every single draft that he does. It is a running joke and he got it again here.

But yeah, Sean, we'll be competing with a lot of people that are willing to draft wide receiver
