And so goes that annual exercise in overkill known as the NFL Draft, which began today in New Yawk...
Actually, the draft itself isn't the problem—it's ESPN's over-zealous coverage thereof. Good gravy, people—must we analyze every last fucking detail about every team and every player here? Then again, you can't spell "analyze" without "anal", which pretty much describes ESPN's wall-to-wall coverage of this thing. Keep in mind, this is coming from a dyed-in-the-wool football fanatic here! Sadly, they take all the fun out of football for me every year when they assualt us with their squadron of so-called "experts" and talking heads jaw-jacking and dissecting every possible move each team might make, with the vaunted Mel Kiper, Jr. right in the middle of it all. For reasons unbeknownst to anyone, ESPN trots this bozo out every year to give his analysis and opinions on the draft, yet he has all the accuracy of Otis from "The Andy Griffith Show" skeet-shooting! This guy makes Miss Cleo look legit...
One thing I did enjoy was watching QB Brady Quinn sweat and despair over dropping like a tombstone at sea until the Browns finally snagged him at #22. He's a Notre Dame douche, you know, so he deserved it...
