Each and every one of us have had this same fantasy…No, I’m not talking about the ones with blondes and brunettes. Although, don’t get me wrong, that’s not a bad way to go…I’m referring to more along the lines of our sports fantasy. Come to think of it we all know that we fantasize about playing professional sports instead of watching them on our boob tube. It doesn’t matter to us if we’re Tom Brady all the way down to Jay Feely…LeBron James or Chris Mihm…Derek Jerek or "A Sammy Sosa Impostor", the point is we’re in the same arena. What must it be like to play the game that we loved growing up, playing for free, now to be getting paid hand over fist? To be able to call the game that was played as a kid your job now…Can shit get better than this? When everything is at your beckon call…No price is out of reach. Having any woman imaginable…The good life, right?
Now we’re just about a month from the NFL Draft in New York, for many this fantasy will play out and become a reality. It will be there on either Saturday, (if one’s lucky enough) or Sunday where all their hard work finally pay off in the form of Big Bucks, without the Wammies, (or are the wammies the general managers or the agents?) Like every draft class before them, during their high school and college days, their play could do them no wrong…Very little criticism would be attached to these names. Like Bambi at the strip club…She works that pole like no other. The same can be said for Brady Quinn during his last two years in South Bend in Charlie Weis’s pro style offense. He flourished on the field, the way Bambi flourishes on stage. Sure he didn’t meet all the expectations that were outlined before his senior year, but hey, neither did the Irish as a whole…Last time I checked football was a team sport.
Ever since Quinn’s last game against LSU in the Sugar Bowl, his draft stock has been all over the charts…Although he does walk the stage as Bambi does, he has turned out to be this years "media whore"…(To all the strippers, I mean "dancers" out there reading this, I still love you. And no, you’re not whores…The money’s too good to just past up, right). Brady Quinn might be in the same boat? Well, so to speak? Look, I’m no Mel Kiper here, nor do I fantasize about being him, but how does one player rise and fall on a draft board so frequently without having played a football game in three months? I’m all for riding roller coasters, but what’s up with this? One week he’s going to Cleveland, the next it’s Miami…Then this past week it’s Detroit. Well, one thing’s for sure, sometime during the course of this week he’ll be slated to head to Tampa now that Jake Plummer retired. Don’t know if Mel realized that? Then perhaps even a stop in Houston? Oh no, wait, that’s old news…I heard a rumor about that already. Gosh, I need to stay up to date on the Brady Quinn roller coaster ride! Maybe the next stop is Minnesota, with a possible stop in Carolina? Hmmmm? To cover all the bases here, why not just say he can go to any of the 30 NFL teams? Just like Bambi walks around the club visiting every table. It would make more sense to do that seeing how he has been mentioned about half of them already! Way to stick your neck out, "experts"! That’s like me saying, I’m either going to Target or Wal-Mart tomorrow, (although not the super centers) to buy some goods. I’m kind of leaning towards Wal-Mart at this point, but you never know, I may be swayed by Target some how? Then the bigger question becomes where do I go to eat? McDonalds or Burger King? Although Subway has really good subs, but at Quiznos you get a lot more meat for your buck! Gosh, I need to mull this over with Jared!
We all are aware that players rise and fall annually leading up to the draft, that’s the way it works…Although this has become like those Barry Bonds & Man-Ram daily updates. Enough already! It’s been well documented that Brady wants to be the number one pick…Um Brady, why? Why would anybody want to pack his bags for Oakland? Can you say career suicide? I thought you had to be a smart fellow to go to Notre Dame? In case you haven’t noticed Brady, you don’t have the most nimble feet. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but it might actually be good to be the next Matt Leinart. The cash will still be there, though when times get rough, food stamps are always an option and readily available.
Here’s a news flash for Mel Kiper and the wannabe Mel’s, while you may know more than most of us, you still don’t know jack! If you did you might know that there’s no sure thing in life! Here’s a thought, enough with the speculation and giving us weekly updates on where he is in fact going to be playing next season, how about if we tune in on draft weekend to see where the chips fall since all this "smoke" & "hot air" is really just that and nothing else! Sorry to burst you bubble "draft gurus", but it is Selection Sunday. Yeah, these dimwits sure do know what they’re talking about, don’t they? Why, these guys were all over Marques Colston…So much so that he almost became "Mr. Irrelevant"! Good call on that one! No wonder Mel works for ESPN…It’s another perfect fit! Just like Bambi in the strip club and Brady Quinn, well….Stay tuned until Draft Day!
