Seriously?!?

Well is time to start getting your big board ready for the upcoming NFL draft in April. It’s always entertaining to see the really early draft boards, and I gotta tell you I nearly pissed myself from laughter when I saw Mel Kiper Jr’s early board.  Micheal Crabtree?? Are you f**king kidding me? Sure the kid has glue like hands, he also has weak ankles, is injury prone, runs poor routes, and has very little heart.  The reason I added in the *little heart* was in reference to his comments after the loss to Ole Miss in this years Cotton bowl. He told reporters in a interview after the game that

1. He along with the rest of the team didn’t want to be there..

2. He didn’t really get up for that game..

3. It was just another bowl game..

In case your wondering how Crabtree did in the game, he had about 4 receptions for around 34 yards. He would leave the game early due to an ankle injury. Another interesting sidenote, Crabtree is from Dallas. The Cotton Bowl is in Dallas, wonder why he couldn’t get up to play in front of his hometown crowd, and family??

Mel, please don’t tell me you have put all your stock in a wide receiver from Texas Tech?  ANYONE that can catch a ball can be a superstar wide receiver in that tricked up bitch ball offense.  There is a joke that goes like this *Those who can’t get into community college, go to Texas Tech*. Having said that,  the same thing applies for wide receivers and quarterbacks. You want to get noticed by the NFL, and have your face plastered all over ESPN every Saturday night? Go to Texas Tech. If your a quarterback your guaranteed to throw your arm out in a few seasons. 50+ passing attempts per game will wear out an arm, and help pad your passing yard stats. Tricked up spread offense quarterbacks rarely become more then a backup quarterback in the NFL.

Anyone remember Colt Brennan?? High up on Mel Kiper Jr’s draft board last year, currently a backup for the Washington Redskins. He was drafted in the 6th round (186) pick overall and signed a 4 year deal worth about $1.8 million dollars. Yeah Mel, you were only 160picks off on that one buddy! Seeing how you picked him to be an early to mid 1st round draft pick.

Here is Mel Kiper Jr’s big draft board right now. Now keep in mind it will change significantly leading up to, and after the NFL combine.

Rick *Goose* Gosselin.  His draft day picks average between 83% – 88% accurate. Liverdamage brought the Goose to my attention several years ago, and lets just put it like this. In Goose We Trust. The year that Liverdamage brought the Goose to my attention, I printed out his final draft board, just to see how good he was. He missed 2 in the first 2 rounds. Only because there was a crazy trade in the first round.

*Quick email to Mel*

Dear Mel,

I am looking forward to seeing you on the draft coverage  team this year. Please make sure you bring a comb to fix your hair, and you rest your voice the week leading up to the draft. I want to make sure your voice doesn’t begin to crack, or strain when you are yelling at teams for passing up on players. We all know your opinion is scripture, and the talent scouts that are paid by teams around the league don’t hold a candle to your ability pick talent. :rotflmao:

Sorry, that was rude of me to fall off my chair and laugh while writing you such a serious email, please forgive me. As I am not worthy to even speak to you. Your insight and wisdom is like no other I have ever seen. Wait, let me think about that last statement. Actually you and Emmitt Smith have alot in common. You both talk really loudly, and make little sense. You also compare to

sas

Screamin A. Smith. :thumbs:

In closing I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for providing me months of entertainment. Without you pointing out how great the players on your draft board are, I would truly be lost. I’m sure teams around the league also need your words of wisdom to get them through those cold and lonely nights.

Yours truly,

A fan who thinks your full of sh*t each and every time you open your mouth.

    Spot # 11 is truly the best player on the board. I would take him #1 if I were in Detroit. But, they wont and that’s why they’re detroit.

    As I’ve told you many times…”opinions are like Assholes…everybody has one”!! Mel’s got his “asshole” too. It’s just a pisser he gets paid big bucks to be on ESPN and blab his “expert asshole” about who should be picked when. Oh, true enough, he’s made his share of mistakes. But I think he got one right a few years ago. Maybe. And the ’80′s doesn’t want his hair…Ripley’s Believe It Or Not does!!
