No Child Left Behind

After watching the fireworks at #5 and #6 overall, my knee-jerk reaction of hoping BC would fall to me immediately evaporated.  What I would give to be a fly on the wall in either The Octagon or the inevitable Furnace...

With my next pick, it boiled down to completely going against the idea of the draft or embracing the culture of change.  It's a safe pick at #7, and one that addresses the latter.  Despite his familiarity with almost everyone in this thing, I would be happy to argue that he and I probably communicate the least out of everyone he talks with outside of the email chains.  I am not originally one of "his guys," and was stumbled upon by his group during one of his morning runs that failed to net 10 bodies.  And I didn't even like the guy back then, I just needed the exercise...

That said, my newly employed draft strategy focused on getting guys that just live and breathe Dallas; guys that were born and raised there and know the city like the underside of their respective scrotums.  I wanted to be with guys that were "in the know" when it comes to decision making regarding non-basketball related activities in hopes that I could chuck in a few nickels worth of opinions.  I have it on good authority that my guys still use their Dallas driver's licenses as their primary form of identification, and that is enough for me.

Welcome to the room Daniel "Donkey Kong" Krow.

Editor's Note:  I've never been with two married men before, I can't wait to see what that Pinterest recipe was talking about!
