Now for pwnsall's Florida Gators.
They need to get someone good to make up for that James Corden pick.

George Chandler

Acted in 342 feature films. Not bad!

Pittsburgh Steelers take Ben Affleck

Oooops again: Pittsburgh already has a full roster
so
Ben Affleck goes to Liverpool FC

Double oooops: Liverpool also already has a full roster.

I think Ben will go to The Detroit Tigers unless Doctor Zeus takes him.

Tottenham Hotspur pick next from Doctor Zeus.

The good Doctor has 24 hours to submit his pick (or he can stay with the 13 he has now).

Been super busy

I’ll try to find time before my next pick to choose a team and make a list of who I want to draft so that I can participate

I may not have the time this week tho; work is crazy busy right now

So I can bring in anyone I like? AS long as they aren't already drafted?

They have to be from one of the locations that make up the teams.

You can't pick Kurasawa for instance because Japan is not part of the game

And just who is pwnsall's pick: Basil Emmott?

Turns out he was a cinematographer on a ton of movies including "Walk A Tightrope" (6.4) at the age of 70.
Good pick.

For my pick I'll go with Frances Marion

A female sreenwriter with 185 credits seems too good to be true.
She is because 65 were silents which are "lost films".
Still, 120 with ratings is still more than OK.

Dave O'Brien: hit the road.

Our turns will be coming around pretty fast now since we're the only 2 left drafting.
I think we had better finish 1st and 2nd since almost everyone else is just using random.org.

Interesting to see that random.org gave The Minnesota Vikings the brothers Herman J and Joseph L Mankiewicz. They already had brothers Joel and Ethan Coen.

OK, just to show I'm not just all quantity and no quality, I'll take Burt Lancaster.

I'll throw Woody Harrelson to the wolves.

While we're waiting for xander, I decided to code the program that will calculate the scores.
I loaded the Chicago Cubs and the Green Bay Packers.
I calculated by hand the 21 year old game. Green Bay should win 8-3.
I coded and tested until I got that 8-3 result.
The rest of the results show Green Bay winning 31 games, Chicago 19.

Much more testing to do but to be fair I figured I should show these preliminary results.
