YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe members of the "Oldest League Around" have been playing fantasy football for decades. They've been doing things, for the most part, the same way. Their draft is all paper - no apps or computers (well, maybe a computer or two for background info) - and to draft they set up a whiteboard, hand out large sheets of paper and enjoy a fair few drinks.
The league's name isn't just a clever play on words. This is likely the longest-running fantasy football league in Colorado. It was started in 1973 and had eight teams out of the gate made up of mostly teachers, according to current members.
This year, their draft was in an Aurora backyard. They took a two-hour break for lunch and came back to a rainstorm. Player lists were pretty soggy.
Some members joked about the league being around so long that they had to use charcoal on rocks to keep track of everything. Members had to pay close attention to things.
