In years past NE has always had 3-4 picks for the next year, giving me (and a few others) a reason to root in other games to improve our draft position.

This year not one.

All the more reason to dvr the game and pay close attention to where all that draft ammo was spent.

I'm with you. Watching football is fun, but it's WAY more fun when you have a really good reason to root for one team over another. Rivalries are limited, and I don't gamble, so I'm left with fantasy football and extra draft picks to give me more rooting interests.

I'll miss that aspect and you always did a good job of breaking that down in your weekly schedule threads.

But let's just root for us picking 32nd next year and nothing else. That's all that matters to me.

I won't do FF anymore. A few years ago I had several hundred dollars riding on the second to last game of the season and the FF SB and the other person had Brady and I had the QB of the team that NE was playing against. Made the game horrible to watch as my fan interest and my wallet's interest was in conflict. I won't do that again.

Precisely why I keep money out of it and just play for fun. Of course I want my team to win, but when it comes down to it, I'll never root against any Patriot. Since I have nothing but bragging rights with a couple friends on the line, I never have to.

I call that gambling

That is why I make sure Brady is always my #1 pick. I have gotten him at #8 and #9 in my two teams.
