EDIT: It's 2:14AM Eastern Time, since the Board Clock is apparently off an hour from my time.
EDIT 2: It's actually 12:14AM Eastern, because I am bad at math.
Did you never turn off DST for the board?
I just did.

trag PM'd me his pick, and it's a song that wasn't even on my radar. It's also the first time someone selected a song that could fall under "performed multiple times, but in different versions" and "song written for the show performed by a guest star." I'll let him post it.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Having said that, you don't use your "off the radar" brilliant pick early on. Even I didn't pick a Homicide cop until the 7th or 8th round of the TV Characters Tournament.

There's only 4 rounds in this thing, no big deal.

There's been some talk of expanding it to six. We can vote after the 4th round.

This is my first draft of anything I've ever done, ever. I had to google "how to play a fantasy draft."
I like the cut of your jib.
