ESPN's fantasy football draft bombs before it even goes live

When it comes to news about the NFL, ESPN is usually a pretty accurate channel to turn to. However, when it comes to the world of fantasy football, we've learned that it's better to just skip out on the juggernaut's advice or, at least, their fantasy draft specials.

Tonight at 6:30 CT, ESPN will be conducting their annual live fantasy draft and they've assembled another panel of boring "celebrity" blah to completely misguide you. This year's drafters consist of the following 'experts': Cato June, Sean Salisbury, Mark Schlereth (aka Roc Hoover), Steve Young, Chris Mortensen, Michael Smith, Nick Bakay and Jerry O'Connell. Guess ESPN used up all their quality star connections in those stupid Who's Now segments.

Listen, we know that most of these guys know their football, but that doesn't mean they know their fantasy football. After all, Mortensen took Reggie Bush at No. 6 overall last year and Mike Ditka took the Bears defense in the fourth round! If that's not pure homerism then we don't know what is. And two years ago, Suzy Kolber dished out the worst advice in fantasy history when she took Brett Favre with her first pick! Sorry guys, but this crappy show just isn't worth our valuable time or the 1.5% of our DVR's memory that would be wasted to record it.

But now that we've mentioned lil' Suzy, there's no way we could not show her other career defining moment:

Reggie Bush (#1)

I took Bush in the second round of my draft last season, but I'd be willing to bet he put up first round producton.  Mortimer may not have been too far off.  If you play in a league that gives you a point per reception, Bush is huge.  He catches at least five balls in every game.  

I know there is no way in my money league and we are pretty strong that Bush gets past the 7th or 8th pick.  We play the point per reception and he is great value.
