Yahoo! Auto-Pick has a sense of irnoy

Some people don't mind not showing up for fantasy drafts. Some people forget. It's cool, we understand. Particularly on the first day of college football season when lots of other exciting stuff was happening.

Now, when you're the most popular blog in the city, and spend your time "jobbing" people...sometimes these things come back to bite you.

Over the past year, these "jobbers" have taken on one Chris Cooley in an all-out blog war after Cooley made some comments about how a certain team from Washington was better than a team from Pittsburgh, including some derogatory comments about a Mr. Crosby.

We all know how that turned out.

A little less precedented event occurred over a month ago, when the same "jobbers" became the first people on Twitter ever blocked by Chad Johnson after they started jobbing him. Ochostinko obviously couldn't take the joke, and blocked them.

Fast forward to this afternoon.

I wish I had been smart enough to screenshot the draftchat when these picks happened. Steve Braband, XFLMVP, and The Blitzburgh Blog (along with us) were just going nuts. Sadly, I forgot to do that, so you're left with this screenshot:



We e-mailed them this picture and we're still waiting to see if they post this on their website. We're betting on no, but we'll keep you updated if they do. It's going to be a long fantasy season for Charlie's Army.
