You are exquisite.

[Matt]

Any idea when the draft takes place in real time?

Going out of town late Nov and might invest in a laptop.

Draft clock last year started on the day between SIM 4 and SIM 5. By that path, we'd be looking at the draft going LIVE on.... THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1st.

That's just a guess... but it will be in the ballpark.

[Matt]

Cool! Thanks.

Birth of my daughter or draft.....decisions, decisions.

Birth of my daughter or draft.....decisions, decisions.

Obvious answer is watch birth of your daughter as you draft.

[Clay]

I'd say it depends on the quality of the Draft

If I learned anything when my son was born, it's that wives love it when you're on your laptop while they lay in bed waiting to dilate.

So what you're saying is: Don't get married.

(Looks both ways)

[Jistic]

Duh!

[Carlos]

I don't plan on getting married.

If you ever see me talking about marriage, I'm allowing whoever is commissioner to disable my account and offer my team to another owner.

When you get married you won't have time for these silly sports sims anyway.

Good Lord man, chart the sims and be sure to abstain 9 months ahead of the draft!
