Dizzyspiznersal Drizzaft

As promised, yesterday was the league's dispersal draft. Precisely on schedule at high noon, Nolan Yudek, the league's highly-compensated technology czar, sent around this e-mail ...

DJ Dozier & Friends are on the clock. 5 min McDavies.

... which set off a flurry of draft picks over the next hour and a half that, when all was said and "Dunn" (read on to see how I just totally stole a line from Tom Teatro, owner of Mitro Nitro), the non-keeper teams had, with the exception of The Kurt Bevormos, three players each.

Thanks to the work of Yudek and Geleaux, who kept a running log during the draft, my work is basically done. I'll recreate the log below. Yudek's administrative posts are in red; the picks are in the actual words of the actual owners at the actual time they picked. You can read it from the bottom up ... you know, for suspense ... or just start from the top down and find out the last pick first. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to.
