Thoughts while watching the NFL draft...

Wow, the Houstan Texans are stupid. I can understand on possibly passing on Reggie Bush because he's not an every down back. He's a faster, taller version of Michael Westbrook. But not for Super Mario Williams. I just don't get it. He's not consistant by any means. Half of his sacks came in 6 games. I know that I'm just repeating the talking heads and what they're saying, but wow. I can't believe that the draft people could actually convince themselves that they made the right pick. Oh well.

- Quote from Caleb: After hearing that the Broncos traded up to get Jay Cutler - "Just hearing that makes me want to get into a fight."

I didn't get to start watching the draft until 3:45, so the first round was pretty much over. The good news? I get to watch the second round. Happy days.

So what did the Bears do? Well, they started with trading their first round pick for a second and a third. Wow...that means nothing. Their first pick was a guy who came from a school I've never heard of, a school that hasn't had a draft pick since 1983. That certainly doesn't help. So far, I'm giving them a D. It could be worse (they could have grabbed another crappy halfback), but still, who makes these decisions. And why is that the Bears draft the worst possible guy virtually every year? Curtis Enis? Cade "Spouge" McNown? Cedric "Curtis Enis II" Benson? How about the wonderful career of Marc Columbo? Yeah, the Bears suck at drafting people.

Jaws is dumb. I have to say this. He's possibly the worst talking head on ESPN. I'm not going to knock his knowledge but he can't pull off the hip look that's he's going for. Plus he was a crappy quarterback. So I'm not really sure why he's there.

I miss the Madden commercials with Ray Lewis. Those were of the highest quality. Also, the LeBron James ESPN commercial where he asks about the chair is pretty good.

A bad idea from Nicorette: Start chewing, start smoking. I know that they're talking about their gum and it's better to chew the gum than smoke, but that advertisment could be for chewing tabacco. Misleading anyone???

Keep on the love train, love train. Ack! Please stop making those crappy Coors Light commercials. Nobody drinks during their 15 minute break. They just can't get away with it. Yet we're supposed to believe that an entire construction crew will end up stopping the road work to drink a case of Coors Light. Cheers to the bride...

Wow...ABC is giving everyone the chance to watch a guy named David Blaine hold his breath for 9 minutes. They've allocated 2 hours for this exciting program...see you there.

I don't know who decided that it was a good idea to market the draft as if it were a fashion show, but it wasn't exactly a great idea. The draft, is more of a guys watching, drinking a beer sort of thing and the only reason guys would watch a fashion show is that they're way into fashion or because there's a lot of beautiful women there. And there aren't many beautiful women involved with a draft. Sorry, it's just not a good fit. Maybe next year they can toss on some Tom Petty so we can have a musical misfit too.

Alright, I'm done complaining. Cheers to the bride (maybe I'll keep this line...)
