Spade Racing presents Uncle Max vs. Repeat Winners: Daytona


Here’s my annual Do’s an Don’ts of Fantasy Football Drafts:

DO come prepared—nobody likes someone who wastes everyone’s time with a vague description of a player they want (“You know, the guy with the thing from the school!”).

DON’T be a know-it-all—we get it, you know your football.  That’s no reason to deliver a “fun fact” about every single player selected.

DO know your league—if you have two QB’s, take one early.  If its points-per-reception heavy, pick possession receivers.  If there’s one guy who’s an obsessive fan of a certain team, pick their defense and trade it for a bundle.

DON’T outsmart yourself—you’re smarter than you think you are.  Remember—the obvious choice is often obvious for a good reason—that player is GOOD.

DO get the WiFi password early—unless you have everything written down ahead of time, nobody wants to wait for your online preview to load on 3G.

DON’T get drunk or high—its great to be around friends again, but you don’t want to wake up the next day and stare at a team with ten tight-ends.


TRUCK SERIES (4 wins): off


Friday Night XFINITY SERIES Wawa 250 (1 win): AJ Allmendinger—The Dinger stays on a roll.


Saturday Night CUP SERIES Coke Zero 400. Repeat winner (3 wins)—Ryan Blaney.  FAVORITE (2 wins): Austin Dillon—racing his way into the Playoffs.  NEXT FAVORITE (2 wins):  Denny Hamlin—heck of a way to get on a roll for the Playoffs.  DARK HORSE (3 wins): Bubba Wallace—followed by claims of “fix! fix!” by morons.
