Official Canal Street Chronicles Fantasy Football League: Choosing the First Overall Draft Pick
**CBSSports.com is an SB Nation partner and paying sponsor of the SB Nation football communities. This post is one of a series of sponsor endorsed posts related to the CBSSports.com Fantasy Football Commissioner League.**
We're that much closer to the start of our official CBSSports.com Fantasy Football Commisioner League with the draft set for 7pm EST on August 22nd - just one week away.
In the last CBSSports.com officially sponsored post I let everyone submit their own ideas for possible division names and had readers vote for their favorite submissions by process of rec'ing. The winning division names chosen by you were the four names of the streets surrounding the Super Dome as submitted by coldpizza - Poydras, Girod, LaSalle and Claiborne. The updated list of divisions, teams and owners of our league can be found after the jump along with information on the sweet deal CBSSports.com is offering you guys.
But if you thought I couldn't top that, keep reading because this week I am going to allow all of you to choose who you want to have the first overall pick in our scheduled draft next week.
The poll below is a list of all participating team owners with the exception of myself. The rules are simple: vote for the member you would like to see own the first overall draft pick in our official CSC fantasy football league. You may use any criteria you wish for making your selection. Participating league owners are allowed to vote for themselves as well as lobby in the comment section for more votes from their fellow CSC members. I reserve the right for any tie-breaks and will always have the final say.

I thought it was “Monkey Poop Battle”

I voted for stujo4. Kind guy that he is.
If I am good I could add years to my life / I would rather add some life to my years.
I thought it was a popularity contest until I saw I had 6 votes
And I only voted for myself once.
Hans
wait – is it good or bad to have the #1 overall pick?
HA!!
Son, don't wait till the break of day
'Cause you know how time fades away.
I had the #1 overall pick in my first FF year
took Emmitt Smith in 1995 or 1996 – he didn’t have a terrible year, but just not a MONSTER year
and my next pick was WR Jimmy Smith
I just remember that it seemed like FOREVER between my first two picks, and it was hard to wait…
Sean Payton and the players need to focus on the upcoming season and defending the title but I don’t.

is 6 votes HIGH or LOW for you in a popularity contest?

I want to vote for CP since he won the "Name the Divisions" Contest,
but he doesn’t have a team in this league.
So, I’m going back to vote for hamburgers.
Well, that won’t work either.
I think I’ll vote for one of those guys whose secret identity has been revealed.

Voted for Devin - hoping he'll keep his monkey poop out of the pool

I'm trying to think of a reason why people should vote for me.
But nothing comes to mind. In a snake draft, I’m not so sure I want the 1st pick.
I’ll try anyway. How ’bout this for a reason:

Political Ad no.2
Since we’re in an election year, I might as well follow the formulas used by those who pretend to be our public servants. My first ad above is the typical “all fluff and no substance on the issues” ad we see every year. My second ad will be the standard “show them what they want to see and tell them what they want to hear” formula. Of course after using this and once sworn into office, I may drop all of these promises in order to serve my own megalomaniacal self interests. Isn’t that what most politicians do?

Please do not vote for me!
I prefer going about eighth!

I suggest
either do it random or use last years standing, with the worst record drafting first and best record going last.
Personally I do not mind going towards the middle end of the draft.
To me if you are not in the top two the bottom half of the draft is where you want to be. You get to stack good players that way. IMHO

2nd suggestion
I am thinking about a number from 0 to 900,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. The closest person to this number gets the number one pick.
Oh wait that means me right.
LMAO!

I hope
the vote ends in a 11-way tie and Dave has to start over….

question:
Do we acure points for playoffs? Or is it just for regular season?

generally, the FF “season” ends before/on week 16… so, all of your players are playing, even if they’re on bad teams.
Want to go to the Saints vs. Cowboys game? I've got an extra ticket.
Would it not be funny if Dave said okay I am going to put you guys in order or least votes to most votes!

He never said "the person with the most votes wins".

thx for the votes
i like being in the middle of the draft that way i can get 2 picks in a row or almost 2 in a row
Superbowl bound!!!...I know! do you?! Go Saints!!
I hate the first overall pick
Think Jamarcus, $50.7 million contracts with $25 million guaranteed, and Purple Drank. If I were voted to have the Number 1 pick, I’d trade down.
