I have no idea where teams will finish, so… well, I do have some idea. I know that the Bears, Colts and Pats will pick late, and I know that the Browns, Cards and Lions (10-plus wins my ass) will pick early. Other than that, I have no ‘effin clue, so I just numbered this baby 1-32 and drafted the best player available at each spot. Here’s my best first shot at a ridiculously early, but passable, 2008 NFL Mock Draft…
ESPN’s Chad Ford for more than holding his own against The Sports Guy in today’s live “2007 Interactive NBA Mock Draft.” I really enjoy Bill Simmons, always have, but the sports blogoshere basically throws rose pedals in front of his every word. Chad Ford won that exchange today, and that format totally catered to Simmons and his strengths. In Simmons’ defense, he’s The Sports Guy; Ford only covers hoops. Still, Ford is the man, and he’s also a Kansas City Chiefs and Royals fan. What’s not to like?
UFC fighter B.J. Penn for taking it to his rival Jens Pulver in the octagon last weekend. Not only is that how you make an entrance before a fight, but that’s how you fight. Plus, I love when a guy is such a badass that he can hug his opponent mere seconds after he whoops his ass. He even held the choke two or three seconds after the fight was called just to let Jens know what’s up.
Dan Zinski of The Viking Age. Yes, he’s one of our bloggers, but that doesn’t mean he’s not one of the most underrated sports bloggers out there. Not only can my boy write, but he drops images like this on the regular. You won’t want to miss him and his stuff, especially if you are a Vikes fan.
QB Jon Kitna for having the balls to declare that his Detroit Lions, who went 3-13 last season, will win more than 10 games. Hey, before you can win you have to believe that you can. His comments have seemingly influenced teammate Mike Furrey, and he’s since made a similar prediction. By the way, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Lions improve significantly in ‘07. Still, 10-plus wins is pushing it a bit. C.J. is good, but no rookie is that good.
The Chicago Bears for canning Tank Johnson even though the move makes them perilously thin at the DT position. There’s no room for a cancer like Tank on a team that’s serious about competing for a Super Bowl.
Head Chick in Charge over at Leave the Man Alone. Anyone who tries to stick up for The Namesake and even comes remotely close to making a case, yeah, they automatically make this list. Even though she makes some valid points about ESPN, the network didn’t disrespect the Tennessee Titans — Pacman did that himself.
The good people over at Music City Miracles totally explain Pacman Jones new ‘do — he’s trying to go incognito. Here’s the excerpt:
Strip clubs all over the nation have a picture of him, with the the dreds, posted at the door with a NO ENTRY sign. He just couldn’t handle that.
He didn’t want people to name him when police ask, “Who else was there?”
Now, MCM has sworn not to mention The Namesake, but I will make no such promise. If Pacman comes within 100 feet of a titty bar you, then you will be the first to hear about it.
B.) She’s a redhead (meaning, once again, that she’s probably a freak)
C.) She never blinks (just think of what other talents she might possess)
D.) Her dirty pillow talk would be sports-based — she obviously knows her sports, fellas. Especially football.
E.) She’s the step-daughter-in-law of Diane Sawyer. While I wouldn’t seduce Sawyer at this point — she’s too damn old now and her husband directed one of my favorite all-time flicks (The Graduate) — Rachel probably learned a few tricks from the old fox.
F.) On my blog, she’s not married.
She’s my biggest weird-obsession girl, and female sports reporters typically hold down that role. While I may feature other chicks week to week, it’s going to take someone spectacularly weird hotness-wise to knock her off. There’s just something about the idea of getting my sports news and my freak on simultaneously that captivates me.
Here’s the only YouTube footage I could dig up (be sure to watch her eyes)…
