In this week's P.O. Box:

Four drafting-related stories from this past week…

👰 Until Draft Do Us Part. Trevor, who is getting married on Saturday, asked me for advice on how to squeeze in all of his Battle Royale drafts this weekend:

Good luck, Trevor. Please don’t become a statistic. There’s always Week 5…

👿 Trespassing & Drafting. Schmoe, who won a spot to draft a Battle Royale team during the Bash, snuck into a random office building to draft:

I felt bad because I was rooting for him to get caught, but it would have been extremely funny.

🤑 The Ultimate Testimonial. Alec, who took the Underdog DFS Masterclass, shipped first place in the Week 4 Battle Royale for $50,000:

What a testimonial. The naked Hurts + scroll to Hunter Henry is perfect BR play. Congrats dude.

🧳 National Lampoon’s Drafting Vacation. Peter (could be any Peter), who wanted to plan a little overnight trip for the family to Portland, ME this weekend, forgot that you can’t draft Underdog teams in Maine. He late swapped the getaway to Rhode Island instead.

I’ll see you guys on Sunday am for a DFS cram from the hotel…
