1st post in a million years, well technically second

Here is my first post in a few months. I probably lost the little readers I had. Well when you go from zero and go back to zero what did you lose, zero? Well I had this cool post about christians and popes and the death of Mitch Hedberg, may he rest in peace, however it did not post and it was lost. I was sad. I said I would never post again. Well I lied to myself.

NFL DRAFT


Well the NFL draft has come and gone and once again I watched it all. Basically it was good for the Miami Dolphins. The selection of Ronnie Brown should help their horrible offense last year. Matt Roth looks to be very aggressive and hopefully will be able to help with the pass rush. Crowder Channing looks to be a steal in the third round if his knees hold up. The rest seem to be good picks as well. However it is just my opinion that 4th to 7th rounders are more of a surprise when they make the team. About 50% of all drafted players make an impact no matter how small in the NFL. Most of them come from the first three rounds. For every Tom Brady there are 50 Billy Neverhearfromthemagain's.

Two big surprises from the draft. The first one was the Mike Williams going to Detroit making them the first team to ever take a wide reciever in the first round. The second was the fact that Torry Holt has a future in broadcasting. He wasn't perfect, but for someone who isn't a full time broadcaster, he did an excellent job at the draft. He knew the players, he did his homework, he came off very intelligent and also very well spoken. Which is the main job of a broadcaster to speak well.

The draft was also very long. 2nd longest first round in history. Everyone was trying to wait for someone to give them a trade, however only two trades were made. Last year's draft was awesome as everyone just wanted the player that fell to them for the most part.

OTHER NFL NEWS

Rob Konrad retired. How sad. I liked him. Just not as a Dolphin.

Winslow of the Browns may have lost 9 million dollars for riding a motorcycle. Maybe I am just weird, but if I had a million dollar contract that said that I should not ride a motorcycle, I am not going to ride a motorcycle. Then again I am a weird guy when it comes to my million dollar contracts.

T. Owens, A. Boldin, D. Driver are all holding out. This is getting kind of old. Maybe they should all just sign one year contracts.

Memorable Weekend

Well during the weekend I had a lot of fun and did two things that are very memorable. Well one was seeing my grandpa get married. Which is extra weird because I have not seen my Grandfather since we went to see As Good As It Gets. There is a rift between the rest of my family and my grandfater, but really there isn't with me and him. Basically I am just bad at keeping in touch. If you don't keep in touch with me, chances are you will never hear from me again, or maybe in five years when you get married.

The second thing is I saw my baby sister for the first time. Isn't that fun. Nice to see my sister who is 26 years younger than me. She is cute. Anita(my dad's girlfriend) thinks that she looks a lot like me as a child. I don't really know, all I have seen is pictures and I thought I was cuter. However I think we all think we are cuter when it comes to baby pictures. Still it was a nice baby. Didn't cry when I held it. Even though my aunt still thinks I am bad with children just because I couldn't handle the molested child who cried everytime his mother left the room. I am sorry I couldn't get the child who cried when his mom went to the bathroom to stop crying. I am good with kids dammit. My cousin's child loved me. (isn't that weird when cousins you grew up with start having kids?)

Random Thought of the Day
I have a cheese shredder at home, but they do not call it by it's other name. Spounge ruiner, because I tried to clean it. Now I have little bits of spounge. That easily melts over tortilla chips.

Feel the wrath of resting in peace Mitch Hedberg. May you rest in peace.
