I've finally recovered from my fantasy football draft. Fantasy football drafts are stressful!

This is my first time playing (still not sure if that's the right verb) fantasy football and lemme tell you, I did not know what I was in for!

I have served drinks to guys holding drafts before, but they were more pen and paper and my draft was on a computer. It was so fast!

This was kind of ok, because I didn't really want to spend four hours deciding who has the tightest end... but the speed made me nervous about my picks.

Thankfully, the morning of the draft, I went to "fantasy football school." Which consisted of sitting in Sweet Lenny's office and having him circle, highlight and star all the players that were worth having on my team.

He stressed, "Michelle, do not just pick these guys halfway down the list because I highlighted them, ok?" I will say that I only did that twice. Which out of 12 rounds isn't so bad.

Thanks to fantasy football school, I managed to get the best tight end in the league, Jimmy Graham, but thanks to the speed of the draft, I did not manage to get running backs that anyone has even heard of. I'm sorry Alshon Jeffery, you were in my queue and someone stole you!

Here's my team, There's No 60 yd Line.

Also, Dan Bailey, my kicker, and the Cincinnati Bengals defense.

I hear my draft was super early, so I'm sure a bunch of you still have to pick your teams.

My advice for first-timers? Go to fantasy football school with Sweet Lenny, drink a cup of coffee about an hour beforehand, and have your grandpa buy you a margarita while you're there.

Oh, actually MOST importantly, charge your computer!
