    2016 Amateur Draft Theme Unveiled...

    Wait for it...wait for it...

    It's going to be a GI Joe / Cobra theme! There will be many players named after Joe and Cobra characters. They'll be set up as follows:

    First name: real first name
    Nickname: code name
    Last name: real last name

    example: Conrad "Duke" Hauser

    There will be no Snake Eyes since I already have him in Ogai...plus his real name is classified.

    I hope there will be no moral objections to GI Joe like there were to the wrestlers (ahem, Giantsfan)...

    Tentatively, the 2017 draft will be a Family Guy theme. There aren't as many Family Guy characters and there are that many I can fit in...especially since I'm not going to use the women characters. I plan on making next year's draft really deep and 2017 not as deep so it works out as far as the themes go.

    Not a GI Joe guy, but sure

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    oh wait, no I won't...sorry, last year I chose something somewhat random that was brought up, but this year and next year I'm choosing something I like since I want to make sure I get some enjoyment here...right?

    I'm uber excited for a Family Guy themed class. I'm a pretty big fan, but I think depending how out there you want to go. There's plenty of names you could use. Besides the obvious, the only problem might be making up a last name for some who don't have any:

    Mickey McFinnigan - Peter's real dad
    Nate Griffin - Peter's black ancestor
    Silas Pewterschmidt - owned Nate Griffin
    Peter Hitler - Adolf's brother, Peter's great uncle. From the Griffin history episode that Silas was in.
    Dylan Flannigan - Brian's son
    Jasper - Brian's cousin
    Ricardo - Jasper's life partner
    Todd Griffin - Dog the Griffins has before Brian
    Doctor Bruce Kaplan - Brian's shrink and psychologist
    Doctor Michael Milano (intern)- Meg almost marries him when she thinks she's pregnant
    Fouad - Middle eastern guy who explains to Peter what sarcasim is "OH HO! NOW YOU FUNNY TOO"
    Dave Campbell - The dad of the nudist family, big KISS fan.
    Jeff Campbell - the son
    Jack Kern - He and his wife Sarah adopted Stewie when Meg takes Stewie to work for sympathy tips.

    thanks...I'll probably use both. Probably not going to use the real life people and the fictional characters (like the Noid and such)...with the exception of Mayor West.
