I Need to Draft My Life Back...


As you all know, this Saturday is the annual NFL draft.

Some of you have spent months checking every site on the internets for just a whiff of who the Steelers will pick. Me, I've sat back and joked about how predicting who they'll draft is about as productive as being an Eagles fan.

Nevertheless, Tec and I were going to come up with something really cool and/or fly to do for Saturday. You know, like a special episode of the show or something.

But the fact of the matter is...

A) I'm a waste of life and thus have been zero help on that front, and
B) Even if I wanted to do something, it'd be awfully hard to lift myself out from underneath this mass of paper I'm currently buried under

Such is life as a law student/slow adult.

Either way, here's the other draft I'd like to see on Saturday...


Unfortunately for me, however, here's the other draft I probably WILL see on Saturday...


That all said, if it's some actual info on the Steelers and the draft you're seeking, I urge you to go read a serious blog. As far as I'm concerned, I'm going to watch and embrace whomsoever it is that Kevin Colbert deems worthy...

You really can't pretend to know more than the Steelers about who they should draft (at least when it comes to individual players). And if you do, please do us a favor and go talk about it somewhere else. I don't believe you anyhow.

I'm jusssstttt kidddddinnnngggg...ish.

I mean, if you feel like pontificating in the comments as to who you think the team will draft, be my guest. I may make jokes about the futility of this exercise, but that doesn't mean I'm any less interested in hearing what you all have to say. Unless your name is random asshole, that is.

Just kidding, asshole, [smiley face].

Now, I believe Domski was saying something about the Steelers drafting an O-Lineman in the first round. What was that again, man?

And finally, the random video of the day that has nothing to do with anything relevant...

That one goes out to Big Ben's cranium. It's an inside joke. One which I trust you all can figure out on your own.

Back to studying, now. FMyLife.com.

PS - Like I told Steve, I'm thinking about holding a religious draft. If you want in, let me know. Caveat = I've already called God AND Jon Kitna. Just so we're clear.

PPS - Percy Harvin and Brandon Tate puff the magic dragon. Apparently, weed is the new black.

And...I'm out!

what is this jab at being an eagles fan!?! I know plenty of eagles fans sticking to the cause of blogging for their love of their team.

furthermore, there is a lot of productivity in being an eagles fan. we never run out of things to bitch about during happy hour, and often get free drinks because people feel sorry for us. if thats not commitment, i don't know what is.

Amazing these guys can't stay clean for a couple months to pass the test. I don't know jack about evaluating NFL talent, but with all of their defensive linemen over 30, that's the way I'd go.

Cotter said...

D-line is definitely a need!

I think the first round will come down to best available, as usual.

But it's pretty obvious that we need to draft for O-line AND D-line.

The good news is the Steelers know how to draft lineman in the 3rd/4th rounds and later. So if they go that way in the 1st or 2nd round, great. If not, I'm not going to throw anything at the TV.

Draft your life back? Just trade your pick instead. You'd just end up wasting it anyway.
