NFL draft-Okay so far no phone call
It's still in the first round and to be frank the consensus of draft experts didn't project me as being that high a pick. Of course since this is my 18th year being draft eligible we all know how this story from years gone by.

:fingers crossed:

We'll see. I have a cell phone now so that should alleviate any communication problems that might have been to blame in years past.

1. ha
Yeah I am upset that I didn't get drafted in the MLB Amateur Draft last year ;). Was bad enough when the Orioles drafted a guy in the first round from one of my rival high schools.

4. Still a bit early for a kicker
I predict you'll be a compensatory.

5. How Did You Do At The Combines
What was your time in the 40? How much did you bench? What was your vertical leap?

11. I'm in training
you know for the combine and the baby and all so of course that means little or no drinking. That being said I could probably inhale a 40 in about 10 seconds....god do I miss the beer. :beer: :grr: O8)

7. I thought for sure
I would get a call this year from the Packers. Traded Walker so I figured they would have the need for a short slow whiteboy at WR, and I fit the part.

13. That might be the problem
The market for the "Triple threat" (small slow white) is flooded at this point. Supply and demand supply and demand.

9. Looks like the draft came and went
without much hoopla.

I think the Texans made a mistake taking williams. They need a playmaker on there offense and definitly need someone to either replace David Carr or help him out.

As a Packers fan though, I must say that I'm excited about getting LB A.J. Hawk with our first pick. I see another NFC North division tittle coming home this year.

10. Must be that "character issue", UnderArmor
You tree-huggin', alternate lifestyle lovin', commie pinko flag-burnin' homosexual agenda pushin' feminazi enablin' ecoterrorist!

When the Fellowship of Christian Athletes put you through that association quiz and you answered "Frank" to Barney, what did you expect?

So you just keep waiting beside the phone, because the only person on the other end of your line is going to be Ricky Williams channeling the Gipper via a hemp-filled haze of Cheech and Chong.

You're ON THE CLOCK....

14. Oh I don't think is any issue there
We all know I am a character.


:scared:

Question- Am I supposed to wrap the homosexual IN the flag or what how does that work?

16. How 'bout a star-spangled speedo?
Edited on Tue May-02-06 06:50 PM by theHandpuppet
With a "Dykes on Bikes" escort. That would do!

}(

Come to think of it, save the escort for me. ;)
