I agree it drags on a bit but the anticipation builds as well. Ya kind of have to enjoy the journey. The 3 day draft will be an ordeal. But there are millions of people who are so addicted to it. Myself included. But, I really look forward to it because it is like the opening day. One thing that I have found important is to abandon any health diets for the three day ordeal. I am usually a healthy eater. But, during the draft I liberate myself for three days of raw gluttony, brats, beers, hot dogs, chips and salsa. Then I second guess Gute and yell at the TV. However, at the end I smile and say this was a great draft! I love it! May the Gods be with Gute for a great draft. Cheers!
