Draft Day

Well, few days are more important to me every year as this one.
For once I was able to watch the entire first day of the draft thanks to the NFL network. Here's some thoughts...
Mario Williams was a great pick at number 1. Bush is not Michael Jordan despite what that insane troll Mayock might think.
New Orleans now has a superstar to market in Bush, and I could make a joke here about how this Bush got to NO much quicker than the other, but I won't.
Vince Young was a mistake, Leinart should have gone first at QB, unless you can wait, in that case Cutler was the pick. Young will be Aaron Brooks, average and frustrating with flashes of brilliance. Leinart will be Carson Palmer. Cutler will be Favre ... I'm fearless, bring it on!
Suzy Kolber asking Leinart (drafted in the top 10, voted one of the 50 most beautiful people, a Heisman winner, 2 time College Champion, dating Supermodels and hanging out with celebrities) if he has any advice for the kids who are outcasts out there !!!!!!
My neck almost snapped when I spun around to make sure I heard that and wasn't hallucinating. Leinart, an outcast??? Sure, and while you're at it ask Donald Trump for his advice to the homeless.
The rest of the first round was very unsurprising. My beloved Fish selected Jason Allen, a defensive back who can play multiple positions. I was hoping for Jackson, a receiver, but we got Hagan a very sure handed position receiver in the 3rd, so I'm happy.
But why did the OL drop so far? Winston & Justice ... Very weird.
Denver got Cutler, Javon Walker & a solid Tight End ... Very solid draft.
The Texans was able to add Eric Winston to Williams, for a good day as well. The Bills screwed up all kinds trading up to pick guys not on most boards, very sad. (hee hee)

I'll post another message soon with my thoughts on women sports and the title IX rules (special request), so stay tuned.

On another note... Stay away from Silent Hill. Unless you love the games, in that case wait for the DVD. Brutal!
