Let
us recap the trivia question from the last issue... Back in the early 1900's there was case against football. It
centered around the Harvard-Yale
rivalry and the concern over the increase violence & injury. The
appeal was to have the faculty take football away from the opinions of
politicians and modify the rules that the sport will no longer be
dangerous. "At what U.S. President's prompting, did a Rules
Committee comprised of 60 schools become formed?"
The answer was
This week's question: The Staleys were the company team of A.E. Staley Corn Products.

"What cornerstone team of the NFL was started from this company sponsored team called "The Staleys"?"
a. Packers b. Cardinals c. Bears d. Giants

The Top 15 Things Oberserved at the Draft - Round 1, pick 7, all hell broke loose! Pete & Karl were witnessed SH#*&^$ their pants as Mel's curse begins and Karl tries to fix the server. - Round 1, pick 10, with Forte still on the board, the Rage take, Marshawn Lynch! WTH? That would have been the steal of the draft (Forte fell to 12, ridiculous). Shame on you Dale. Not entirely your fault as you were helping out with the draft mess also. Mel's curse continues. - Round 1, pick 11, Dear Fanatics, Only 3 QB's could have been considered in round one and Brees was not one of them! A good QB, but a premature pick. You paid for it at RB by letting Forte slide. One Forte is better that an Vereen and an Ellington which you were left with later. Gonna take a while for that wound to heal. - Round 2, pick 15, Allstars take Nick Foles who was not a 2nd round QB. You know he was going 53 to 63. Curse of Mel continues. - Round 2, pick 25, Mike DeHaven's Mad Dog's Revenge take Brady who was going 60 nationally, 51 at the earliest. This smells of poop. - Round 3, pick 40, The Fighting Fish take Larry Fitzgerald. Not bad pick unless you are leaving Vincent Jackson, Keenan Allen and Roddy on the board. Not a bad draft, but like a few others, you should be slapped for taking a TE in the 5th. Kalish I think started that crappy TE run in the 4th. - Round 3 ,pick 36, Jimmy takes WR Andre Johnson, HOU. Ouch! Vincent Jackson, Malcolm Floyd, Pierre Garcon, Allen and Crabtree were available. Jimmy should have had one of the kids or a perfect stranger pick instead. Oh yea. Roddy White was available too. Not sure which is worse, but he then picked a kicker in the 5th and the Denver Defense in the 8th. Go NY Gangsters! - Round 4, pick 37, Reggie Bush goes to Blunt Force who must have had one too many before the draft. With Gerhart, Jennings and Ellington still on the board- maybe you didn't drink enough! - Round 4, pick 44, Joe grabs C.J. Spiller- Flying Gators are cursed. Jennings, Matthews, and Gerhart were all there. He better find someone who practices Santeria or something. My dog knows Jennings will get more carries than Spiller. Joe,have a good time watching Jackson at the goal line in BUF. - Round 4, pick 55, Cunning Linguists selects Cameron Jordan, TE, NO. Mathews, Gerhart and Jennings are still there at RB. Then this forces you later to pick up the wife beater, Ray Rice. Were you also wearing a wife beater and cutoff blue jean short during the draft? - Round 5, pick 57, Kitty takes Jordan Reed, TE, WAS. He was moving between pick 80 - 91 nationally. OMG, Witten and Davis were still on the board if you really wanted a TE. You could have been loading up on more WR support. Poor MYLF. And to think she had the 1st pick. - Round 5. pick 59, I cannot really find much wrong with the Tuna Wrangler draft. If I had to question something it would have been picking up Vernon Davis here, maybe too early and he sacrificed his RB2 a little by being forced to get Chris Johnson. He could have had Jennings, Gerhart, or Mathews here, but it is really subject. Not a bad draft Rick. - Round 5, pick 62, A freaking defense by the Inteceptors. That must have been a homer pick for Michael Birchard or he was high. Maybe he has a hidden admiration for Jimmy? I think his brother Mark disowned him before the 6th round. The list of available players over the defense is too much to type. - Round 7, pick 89, The Riders lost track of the draft and did not notice the QB run. The he thought that Cam Newton was going to drop to them. No good thanks to Mad Dog. At pick 89, you are left with QB2 Big Ben. Have fun playing a back up as your starter. Mel's curse claims another. Bomb Out! |
