(S24) - PT 1 - Trivia Night

y2bobman's draft night and the waiting for L’Gazzy Burfict to be drafted


So I’d heard about this whole game through my best mate; he’s a regular on reddit, fired over the link and I thought “Sure, why not”.  I’m not one with a lot of time on my hands, or certainly I seem to waste what free time I do have watching re-runs of 15 year old comedy series'.  I’m a new father, a husband, slowly doing up an old house, working full time (from home, good old lockdown… I do miss those office doughnuts).  Oh, and i'm a Bengals fan.  But hey, I thought I’d take a look, it’s only a little game, right?

Created my player, that was pretty simple enough.  Wore my Vontaze jersey while doing that one, why the hell not.  Creative writing for some media?  Sure, i’ll give that a bash, can’t have L’Gazzy missing out on some $$$ or TPE, if I’m doing this then I want to give it a fair go.  While we’re at it, of course L’Gazzy needs a Twitter account.  I discovered Discord, I guess I pretty much had to.  Had a number of great chats with sound scouts and GMs.  At no point whilst doing this did I think I would get excited about a virtual draft for my virtual player.

Fast forward to draft night.  My best mate and I got on the discord chat together, drinks were flowing.  We watched a couple of episodes of Last Chance U, had a chat about Any Given Sunday, as you do.  It was a 1am start for us over in the UK.  Damn I was excited.  My mates player got taken by the Royals early, we’d always hoped that we ended up at the same team but with him going so soon I began to worry, nerves set in.  It was an hour and a half later, time filled with drinking beers and whiskey, that my time came.  With the 77th pick, the London Royals select…

Oh yeah, my little one woke me up at 6.30am, but it was all worth it.
