A few weeks back, I was thinking of something fun we could during the usually slow summer months. I came up with the not-so-original idea for an Oklahoma Celebrity Fantasy Draft. The premise is pretty simple. We get some people together, we draft Oklahoma celebrities, and when the draft is completed, TLO readers vote for their favorite team.
Here are the teams along with their managers. For this draft it's all of our TLO writers. I've sorted them in the order they draft players.
Justice League of Oklahoma: Tony Hanadarko
The Nompton Stompers: Marisa
Wayne Payne Experience: Patrick
Rick J. Steinkraus Fan Club: Chad
Pillow Fighters: Chelsea
The Dirty Gingers: Spencer and Clark Matthews
Sounds fun, doesn't it. Before I begin with the draft, let me go over a couple of important rules.
What counts as an Oklahoma Celebrity? Probably due to our state's inferiority complex, it seems like it's Oklahoma nature to count anyone with ties to the state as an "Oklahoman." So if you were born here, grew up here, currently live here, or play basketball here, we are going to consider you an Oklahoman.
