AFFL Draft Lottery: No Surprise. Jaj Comes First.

Balls and Jaj. The two just seem to go together.
After going to a new Draft lottery format this year with the use of a homemade lottery machine powered by a leaf blower, the AFFL completed its annual draft order show on Wednesday evening with Jaj Cousteau coming out first. Pun intended.
“We hoped for the first pick. We wanted the first pick. We knew we had a lot of balls in that thing. We're really happy with the results."
Cousteau had seven lottery balls in the hopper, along with Awesomeness, the most of any other lottery team. Vosgereechee Gyank and Grabbers had five each, with Bdiddy and Sev.i rounding out the group with three and one.
This is the second first pick that team Cousteau has had, and one that could break the two year slump of failing to make the playoffs. Manager Chris has already classified this season as a Commitment to Jajcellence, and has high expectations for his team.
Poster displayed on the locker room wall inside the Cousteau facility right under a sign that says Commitment to Jajcellence.
“Jajcellence is all about coming out on top. It's about making sure that whatever you do, you do it well. We're gonna win this league this year. I can feel it. And it'll start when I whoop up on Prime Time.”
When Cousteau says Jaj, people say "how high," and that sort of respect can be found for all over the AFFL. If a team is set to make a run at the title from the bottom up, no team is sitting better than the Jaj meister, who could have players like LeSean McCoy or Jamaal Charles available to him at the first spot.
We won't know who Chris will select for another month, when the draft is officially held on August 29th at 8pm., but one thing is for sure, in a league like the AFFL, it always pays to have a lot of balls. From these Lottery results, nothing could be truer than that.
