Draft Date (Almost Apparently) Set

It appears they're going ahead with their elaborate prank.

From The Commish:

"The 2012 SBL Draft is set for Sunday April 1. That's two weeks from tomorrow!

The time: 12:30 p.m. PDT and MST (for our Arizona contingent), 2:30 p.m. CDT (for our Texas representative), 12:20 a.m. Monday-or-whatever-the-f***-time-it-is in the Persian Gulf."

So there it is. Draft Day. April 1. April Fool's Day. Who knows what wonders lay beyond?

Whatever happens, it'll get live-blogged right here. The whole thing. Well, unless it's a wasp's nest. Then I'm out.

I'm allergic.

Potential Draft Day? Or April Fool's Day Prank?

So there was this e-mail, and now there's this rumor and let's just say they're contradictory.

First, the crucial details of a preliminary e-mail from The Commissioner:

"We're looking again at a daytime draft, which seemed to work best for the most people last year. For the sake of discussion, let's run this date up the flag pole and see who salutes:

Sunday, April 1, 12:30 p.m., at Gregg's house in Chino Hills. That's three days before the Wednesday opener."

Now, the rumor:

Sunday, April 1 will not be the date of the 2012 SBL Draft. Why? Priviledged few may know.

Could it be something rational, like a conficting work schedule? Hmm.

Or could it be something more sinister? Something from the crusty depths of a mind so demented, it would actually sense joy from interrupting an otherwise prolific Sunday afternoon?

Personally, I'd prefer a week night. Not that anyone gives a rip.
