And now, finally, we have a fantasy league even non-sporty types can get into. Blogger Ace of Spades kicked off #ScandalDraft with his picks:
With my first draft pick I take “low level employees” MT @jeffneufeld @drewmtips Can we start a #Scandalpalooza fantasy league?
— DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) May 14, 2013
Always a good one. We’re hoping to grab his up-and-coming sibling, “not good at math.”
#ScandalDraft For my second pick, I take “Obama Gives an Historic Speech.”
— DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) May 14, 2013
I might trade my first #ScandalDraft pick, “Low Level Employees,” for “Is the President just working too hard?” and “Sequester did it”
— DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) May 14, 2013
Meanwhile, my third #scandaldraft pick is “Some procedures may need review/Procedures done let us down again”
— DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) May 14, 2013
@aceofspadeshq @jeffneufeld @drewmtips Great scouting on these young up and comers.
— Fishunderthesea (@FishUnderTheSea) May 14, 2013
And the trading begins:
@johnekdahl Is your second round pick low, medium, or high? I have my eye on “Bipartisan Excess” #ScandalDraft
— DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) May 14, 2013
@urbanachievr @jeffneufeld @drewmtips oh that’s a comer.That one’s got nothing but upside.
— DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) May 14, 2013
I’ll trade “Sequester did it” for “If only there were a decent opposition/The GOP overplays its hand and/or cries wolf” #scandaldraft
— DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) May 14, 2013
#ScandalDraft “Beer Summit” has gone untouched so far. Scouts say there are questions about its legs.
— DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) May 14, 2013
Heh. Possible reason:
@aceofspadeshq Because all the scouts have their eyes on “Acted stupidly”. #ScandalDraft
— Jimmie (@jimmiebjr) May 14, 2013

“@cher says something stupid on Twitter” may not be the “hottest” pick, but she adds points every quarter, like a FG kicker #scandaldraft
— DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) May 14, 2013
