It's the end of summer, meaning the time for a sacred tradition has arrived: determining the order of fantasy football drafts.

The possibilities are practically endless. There's the simple and straightforward -- you could go based off last season's standings or enlist a computer program to assign random numbers to each player's name. For the ambitious, an in-person race or other form of physical competition can be a fun decider.

Or, if you and your friends happen to have three-time All-Star and 2005 Silver Slugger Jason Varitek hanging around, you could have him take batting practice. It worked for the Boston Red Sox, at least.
