WTF = Hilarious

Last week I was involved with a fantasy football draft. I do these things not for the competition, but just for the fun of keeping up with NFL stats. In the league that we were drafting last week, we have 10 teams in the league and only about 4 people showed up for the draft, so the rest of the teams had set up for autopicks, which for those of you not familiar, you can pre-rank your players so that they are drafted in an order other then the defaulted rankings by ESPN. So unless you have pre-ranked your players, you will just get the default players based on the ranking on ESPN.

Our total draft has 20 rounds, which means that there are 200 picks in total. For those of you not that familiar, you typically use the first 4 or 5 rounds to select your skilled positions (running backs, quarterbacks, wide receivers). We are playing with individual defensive players, so we have more starters then the regular teams, which means after you have selected skill positions along with their backups you tend to move to defensive players and move to the kickers and your bench players (mostly because the skilled positions give you most of your points and the kicker only gives you a couple of points each week). In short most people in the draft didn't draft a kicker until well after the 13th round, except for one team.

This one team selected a kicker, Nate Kaeding, for the number 11 pick overall. Right in the middle of people taking the best running backs and quarterbacks, one team picked a kicker. Needless to say, all the people that were participating the draft started lighting up the chat feature in the draft. This is where the funniest moment happened, someone just typed in the infamous 3 letter abbreviation, WTF. Now don't get me wrong, this abbreviation is not a good thing and should not be used, but in the context of what happened, it made me sit back and laugh at my desk. I am not a fan of the texting/internet chatting abbreviations that are becoming more coming (LOL, LMAO, IMHO, etc), but this abbreviation, when used in the right situation, is one of the funniest things that someone can type.
