The tired and silly NFL Entry Draft is upon us once more. I barely watched the 1st round proceedings last night, only occasionally flipping by the ESPN hype-machine to see what teams had drafted what players. As always, I'm amazed at NFL fans' passion for the picks their respective teams make. NFL fans, by and large, do not follow college football too closely (beyond the glamour schools that are on TV virtually every week). The very players many fans get so passionate about during draft time are guys they've never seen play a down. It's very odd. And a waste of time and energy. Wait 2 or 3 years and then you can get a read on how well your team did drafting in a particular year. Having said all that, I do watch 13 hours of college football every Saturday in the fall. And I have seen most of the drafted guys play extensively. As such, I have thoughts on a few of the selections. Von Miller was awesome the past few years. I would be surprised if he wasn't an all-pro within a few years. He should have the biggest impact of anyone taken last night. Patrick Peterson will also be an all-pro. I would have taken him 2nd right after Miller. Prince Amukamara is a potential game changer. Of the offensive players drafted early, AJ Green has the talent to make big play after big play & Julio Jones is electric when he gets the ball in his hands. But receivers are hit and miss. They should both hit, but you just don't know. As far as the QBs taken, I wouldn't have used a high pick on any of the 4. They are projects and their success will largely depend on how they are handled the next few years. There is no John Elway or Troy Aikman in this group. It's impossible to predict how Cam Newton will turn out. He played one year in a tricked-up high school offense. My guess is Cam will be a constant source of frustration for Panther fans for the next 5 years. The expectations are too high. Blaine Gabbert is also hard to get a read on. Mizzu runs the spread and he never looked super accurate to me. Your guess is as good as mine on him. Jake Locker is a bad pocket passer. He's also deadly rolling out. And rolling out in the NFL consistently will get you hurt. Good luck, Titans. As for Christian Ponder, I like the guy. But he's injury prone and a big gamble for the Vikings. Of the QBs left, readers of this blog will not be surprised to learn that I like Colin Kaepernick a lot. Of course I liked Danny Lefevor the most last year and he spent the season holding a clipboard in Cincinnati. So, ??? Going back to my original thought on this, it's a crap shoot. Who knows until they start OTAs (if they ever do this year) and eventually get in game situations? Nobody.
I saw where there was a big pointless wedding over in London earlier today. Some balding kid married some Katie Holmes clone. And people are gaga over this holy union for some reason. I have no idea why. I do wonder if my man Prince Harry attended this affair in the SS uniform he breaks out for fancy dress balls and whatnot. I also wonder if that nasty stepmom Camilla brushed her repulsive teeth. And lastly I wonder what the blushing bride's outfit might entail for the big supposed deflowering that will go down tonight. Something tasteful I'm sure. Crotchless too. Tasteful and crotchless. That would get the balding kid in the mood. Or at least one would assume it would...
My man Barry has been having a terrible time of it lately. I think his epic failure is becoming a reality to all but the most loony lefties. Here's how bad it has gotten for Barry - Donald Trump forced him into releasing his birth certificate. Donald Trump - a man with a terrible comb-over. Donald Trump - a man who trades in wives like most men trade in cars. Donald Trump - a man who presides over one of the most mind-numbingly stupid "reality" shows in the history of broadcasting. This has to be the lowest point for an American president since William Jefferson Blythe had news of his crooked penis revealed in the Starr Report. What was Barry thinking in cowering to Donald Trump??? How pitiful and embarrassing.
As far as the loons who think Barry wasn't born in Hawaii on August 4th, 1961 - this will only fuel their hatred for him. Once you give into kooks, they feel more emboldened. Nothing will appease these nuts. Barry has really stepped in it, yet again. Look for these Trump-led crazies to hound Barry over more and more side issues that only add to the problems he's currently facing. Namely, massive anger over his socialized medicine deal that will not go away, gas prices climbing with no end in sight, a wife as clueless as Marie Antoinette, regular middle-American folks scared to death of a double-dip recession, and the fact that Joe Biden might want to run again as Vice President. Barry has it bad...
Speaking of Trump, there has been massive speculation that he wants to run for president. I can't take this seriously. I'm guessing Trump merely wants publicity for his awful "reality" show - a show that featured Gary Busey acting like Gary Busey up until a few weeks ago. If Trump does indeed throw his weird hair into the ring here soon (I give it a 20% chance of actually happening), it will be entertaining for awhile. And then Trump will flame out and go away. Or at least we hope he'll flame out and go away. Let me say this, if there is a presidential election where the only viable choices are Barack Hussein Obama and Donald Trump, I don't know why anyone would bother to show up to vote. I don't vote anyway. So it won't bother me. But serious folks who do vote will be beside themselves deciding what to do. It won't come to that. Will it??? Could it??? Please, no...
One of the interesting things about the Trump family is that his current wife (some Eurotrash babe) is only like 7 years older than his oldest child. That is creepy...

Speaking of the draft, how did the best corner in the draft in my opinion, fall to the Baltimore ravens at 27th. However he does have off the field red flags but that didnt stop the Panthers from taking Newton. Lets let Cam learn under guys that dont really have much more experience than him. Takin a guy that has played one year of college ball in a offense that consists of his wide outs tryin to get open and then running the ball. Yea, lets put our franchise in his hands.

to answer your question, please locate pac man jones on an nfl roster. character, or at least the ability to keep your ass out of jail and on the field, is sometimes the biggest challenge facing these kids. jimmy smith fell because he reminds GMs of pac man and pac man's recurrent stupidity off the field.
