Our “Create Your Own Sports Network” fantasy draft is a post that will be difficult for Justin and I to top. We had a great time thinking of the topic, doing the draft, and then writing about the results – but an encore as unique as something like that is really impossible to do.
First – in case you hadn’t heard – the draft ended up being linked on SI.com – via their incredibly popular and entertaining section called “Hot Clicks.” As a result of the link on this page (the link that appears in the last sentence in the paragraph below the picture of Erin Andrews) we received a mind-boggling amount of viewers today. Let’s take a look at the stats:
Total number of views in the first 6 months of the site: 5,652
Number of views TODAY ALONE: 14,220!
(today = from 6pm on 7/14 to 6pm on 7/15)
Instead of wondering when we would break the 10,000 views mark – we don’t even have to worry about 20,000 anymore!
A big thanks goes out to Kristan Knight – avid reader and lifelong friend of Justin and myself. She is the one that sent the link to SI.com – and it amazingly made the cut! We’ve already gone over 1,000 again for today (6pm on 7/15 to 6pm on 7/16) as well! THANKS A BUNCH, KRISTAN!
Subsequently, our draft ended up being linked on USATODAY.com – which picked up the link off of SI.com. You can take a look at what the USATODAY guys said right here.
All-in-all, it was a day full of elation and downright giddiness for both J and me – and we can’t thank our loyal readers enough for their support over the last six months. Hopefully, we can deliver subsequent posts of the same magnitude and reach, and really take this site to new heights.

As per a request from one of our “commentors” from the draft post – here is a list of what our current rosters look like:
It’s pretty obvious that RHHA won, isn’t it?
