[USML Announce] Best Day of The Year

[Dennis Adams]

Best day of the year to kick off the best week of the year.  I went right
from the draft into college basketball and bracketology.  Opening round
games this weekend plus I have my fantasy draft with my college friends
this weekend.  In other words, I'd say today's draft was one hell of an
opening ceremony that would even make the 2008 Beijing coordinator jealous.

At the risk of sounding like an echo, I also would like to acknowledge Jeff
and Mark for the hospitality and league management.  For now, I will leave
you all with this article about one of my rotation round players.... who
will likely never see U.S. soil:
