The 6 Best Ways to Celebrate Picks on Fantasy Football Draft Day

Every year, grown men and people of all ages gather to rejoice in one of the best days of the football season. This day may force you to call out of work, give an innumerable amount of excuses to your girlfriend on why you can't attend a particular event, and in some instances cause you to miss a funeral of a recently passed loved one. On this day, Fantasy Football draft day, you want to make sure to make the best of it by celebrating picks in a variety of ways.

Some of these rituals will be annoying to your friends, but this is good news in the world of fantasy football. All we do is sit on the couch and watch our players perform, or sometimes not perform. Sometimes we throw things, we break remote controls, and scream at people nearby who don't deserve it because our players didn't do well.

Other times, we sadly post, on message boards, about how unlucky we are because Brian Westbrook takes a knee to run out the clock instead of rushing for an extra yard.

For this reason, our biggest weapon is our mouth, it's time to open up the gates and let the trash talking begin. You must make a name for yourself on draft day when you are in the presence of the owners who you will be tantalizing throughout the season on the message boards. It is time to let everyone know how obnoxious and confident you are about your selections.

Here are some of the best ways to celebrate selections on Fantasy Football draft day...

Cry When Your Quarterback Gets Taken

Unless you are participating in an auction draft, often times the player you want most goes at an earlier time than you envisioned. The Fantasy Gods must hate me, every year the guy in front of me seemingly takes the player I was going to pick next. When your quarterback gets taken, put on some dark shades and bring out the artificial tears.

That's my quarterback man.

Onions are a good second option for inducing the tears but I don't know if you want a draft lobby full of grown men crying.

Draft A Packer? Throw Some Cheese!

Maybe this one is funnier in my head than it is in real life. It's something Michael Scott from The Office would do if he were drafting a fantasy team.

Have a slice of cheese, any kind really but the one with the holes in it is the best. Oh yeah, that's called Swiss. For some reason whenever I go to Subway I can't think of the names of the cheese so I just shout the first one that comes to my mind, even if it's not the kind I desire on my footlong.

At any rate, wait on someone to announce their first Green Bay Packers selection, most likely Aaron Rodgers. Cock-back and launch a Josh Johnson fastball of cheese at your friend's face while simultaneously shouting, "CHEESEHEAD!"

Bringing Out The Corn!

Thinking of drafting Kevin Kolb in the middle rounds? Well a great team name for you would be... ready?

Corn On The Kolb!

Have a nice piece of corn ready under the table and take it out just in time for your selection. This works best if all your friends are hungry and you're hosting the party but haven't offered any food yet. Mhmm...DELICIOUS!

Your First Round Pick Is Also On The Cover Of Madden? Oh Oh.

Nobody wants to hear about the Madden Curse when it comes to one of their players. Make sure whoever drafts Drew Brees gets an earful from you.

Q:Who was sharing the Madden cover last year?

A:Troy Polamalu

Q:Did he get injured?

A:Definitely.

If you're curious to know some of the history of the Madden Curse, please allow me to enlighten you. The previous year Brett Favre was on the cover, he threw 22 interceptions (led the league in that category). Shaun Alexander, Donovan Mcnabb, Ray Lewis and Michael Vick who missed 12 games after breaking his leg in pre-season are all notables who suffered injuries in recent past years.

Ben Roethlisberger, The Bathroom Break.

We all know what happened with Big Ben in the off-season. This is probably the most expensive out of all the pranks, mainly due to the price of blow-up dolls nowadays. But if you can get your hands on one, make sure to bring her with you on draft day and take a trip to the bathroom after Ben Roethlisberger has been selected. Due to his six game suspension, you can expect Big Ben to go in the middle to late rounds of this year's 2010 Fantasy Football Draft.

If the owner of Big Ben's mother is present, then taking her into the bathroom would clearly be the best way to celebrate Ben Roethlisberger's selection.

LeBron James Powder In A Cleveland Browns Face!

Any Cleveland Browns fans in your league? I doubt it. But if there are any of those left, this should really hit the spot. To add fuel to the fire, it is encouraged that you announce your new selection LeBron James Style and make sure to speak in terms of your player taking his talents elsewhere. Grab some baby powder and make it rain over your opponent's lap tops.
