Recapping the holiday

Another Draftsgiving has come and gone, and the festivities have left the fort in a wonderful state of disarray. Special thanks to Team KidSmartyPants and Team ChrisG for their attendance: we've upgraded the alert level to Kelly Green as a result, with the appropriate security reactions on the way.

But before that, here's a quick look back at what happened:

-- The scariest moment of the day? When I accurately picked the Iggles first pick, then saw the second guy I mentioned get grabbed by the Birds too. Go back here and see for yourself.

-- Most fun pickup for the Iggles? WR Jeremy Bloom, better known for being an Olympic moguls competitor. If they ever move to use downhill skiing to decide overtime, we've got the games all sewn up.

-- Biggest surprise? There was significantly less Mortal Kombat II than expected, both at the fort and in the draft. And I still can't believe our EA Sports NHL 06 game to simulate the Sabres/Flyers game wasn't accurate (The game was 3-0 Sabres; We had the Flyers winning 21-1).

-- Best call? On the grill, steaks as thick as now-former-Eagle Hollis Thomas. Mmmmmmm.... grilled Hollis Thomas.

-- Best name? Ohio State CB Ashton Youboty. I don't know why I didn't do a whole "where's your booty gonna go in the draft" preview on this guy. He's a Bill now.

-- Most bizarre moment? The Dawkins pass which set up the McNabb slapshot goal in an eventual 16-0 win by the Eagles over the New Jersey Devils ESPN NHL 2K5. You would have expected McNabb to be the one passing. And, for the record, it is not a sign of mental issues if you decide to transfer the entire Eagles roster into a hockey game.

So many memories... If only there was some sort of Draftsgiving holiday to look forward to in the fall ...
