I did not watch the NFL Draft last night.**
I watched hockey.
** Full Disclosure: I did click over to the draft during hockey commercial breaks/intermissions. Ostensibly to see who was going where, but really in hopes of hearing a few Goodell boos. Those are always fun.
I will not be watching the NFL Draft tonight, either. I’ll be watching hockey again.
Frankly, I’m all drafted out. I’m sick of hearing about it and I’ll be happy when it’s over. For months it’s felt as if I couldn’t get away from it. ESPN, NFL Network, “Online Sources”…? Doesn’t matter. I’m sick of hearing about it.
And of course after this weekend we’ll still be hearing about the winners and losers of the draft. I plan to avoid that as much as possible too.
Am I saying the NFL Draft should not be covered in the media? Of course not. But it’s become it’s own special brand. It’s own damned “sport” season. I’ve had enough of it.
I’d rather spend my time watching an actual sport playing actual games. And honestly, even when the NFL is actually playing games, ya know…during the actual football season…? Hockey is still a better sport anyway.
There…. it had to be said. Stop throwing things at me, you know it’s true.
But regardless of that….No way in hell am I gonna watch the NFL Draft over PLAYOFF HOCKEY!!!!

Speaking Of Playoff Hockey
The second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs got underway last night.
The Pens rolled into DC last night to face the Caps, and promptly found themselves down 1-0 in game one just 17 seconds in. It stayed that way until about 30 seconds into the 3rd, when the Caps would score again to take a 2-0 lead. Wow, it’s the Cap’s year!!!!! Wow, it feels soooooo fucking good. Whoa…that didn’t last long. Wow, how wrong was I????? Five minutes and 3 Yinzer 3rd period goals later….?
Ahem.
Pens steal game one in DC by a final of 3-2.
In Vegas, the Knights were set to host the Sharks. Both clubs swept their first round opponents rather handily, so it was expected that game one would be hard fought.
It was not.
Vegas asserted themselves early and often, de-toothing the Carcharodons by a 7-0 final. Ouch.
Captain Quint approves, however.
Tonight:
- Winnipeg at Nashville Gm1 – 8:00pmEDT – TV: NBCS
Because of EA Sports’ NHL99, I can never hear this song anymore without it reminding me of hockey, btw.

You Have Your Draft, I’ll Have Mine
Sexy Beer Girls!!!!!
Yeah, I couldn’t very well do hockey girls again so soon. We just did that two weeks ago. But all this talk about “drafts” got me to thinking. Well, as much as I think these days, anyway.
NOTHING BEATS A GOOD DRAFT!!!!!!
Of course, since I did weed girls (again) last week and am doing beer girls this week (phrasing) …? Well, maybe I really DO need an intervention?
Meh, screw it. Imma go get high, have some beer and think about it. I think I’m probably OK though.
Right?
RIGHT?????
Enjoy….
OK, time for another cold one I guess.
Cold beer, that is…not another cold woman. Had enough of those to last a lifetime.
Just clarifying.
Have a great weekend, everyone.
Love ya’s!!!

Folks.
Who’s turn is it to rock litre_cola’s baby back to sleep?
Jets dropping toxic chemtrails all over these Predators.
J-E-T-S .. Jets Jets Jets.
No, the other ones. Fuck Nashville.
I’m so happy to be home. It’s a lot of fun dealing with my psycho niece and listening to my mom tell me about everything everyone did all week to piss her off.
This is much better than being at the beach all by myself. No…really.
I always like it when analysts declare a football player a “FOOTBALL PLAYER!” as if they’d ever call him a ballerina or some shit.
well, maybe Guice ,, smh
hoping for the OT from Cowbells now, for Donks @ #71
Lieutenant Dan, with the magic legs!
/in case you missed last night
Rod Woodson, the one Steeler I like and respect.
Fuck the NFL all the way
just the tip?
No, balls deep. I want it protruding our their stupid face.
Well, if there’s an investigation pending on Guice that could result in embarrassing information to him and his team, Washington is an ideal spot for him.
Dan Snyder being incapable of embarrassment, you see.
Redacteds get him. Those of you who bet on the one-armed man…ya burnt
Dan Snyder couldn’t be here tonight, AT&T Arlington Stadium has a height requirement.
Getting around to watching the latest Norm MacDonald special, and the motherfucker appears to have aged 50 years since 2010.
Guice also has good make-up.
Which is why his stock is dropping.
They didn’t like Guice’s attitude, but to announce Atlanta’s pick, here’s Mike Vick.
Seriously, the NFL can eat all of the dicks.
we have an Ookie sighting!
Oh my god. The Eagles traded up to snatch Dallas Goedert from the Cowboys too. The Greatest Football Team.
you weren’t watching live? Even Horatio tipped his cap.
Oh I had to. That was amazing.
I’ve stood my ground and continued to give zero fucks about the draft every year, especially the one where my team, who happened to win the Super Bowl, are drafting super fucking late
After visiting Cleveland for the first time I can say it’s precisely as depressing as I imagined and not one iota less or more.
Agreed. Baseball stadium is nice though
Sure it is. They copied Baltimore. So much so they had to use Camden Yards to film Major League II before their stadium was finished.
I liked it except there was no hot sauce anywhere for my chicken and waffles. Sad days.
This was pretty obvious without me knowing those particular details.
It is funny to see the far right field corner be literally boxed off to reduce capacity.
ah like this rambly old fuck
Good lord, someone get Willie back to the home.
Come on guys. Dial down the trolling.
yeah, after Akers it just looks like weak sauce
Bit late but, HOLY SHIT DAVID AKERS WRECK ‘EM
Or did this just happen? Timeline’s weird when I’m following through Twitter
So the Patriots gave up Jimmy G for this pick, a 4, and a 2 next year? Do I have that right?
Model franchise
Guice also complained to the League about teams asking “inappropriate questions” during the interview process. Surprise, surprise, The Shield found “no evidence” of that and now he drops like a rock.
It’s almost like the NFL is run by a bunch of assholes.
now, if it gets him to fall to the Donks with our supplemental 3rd – it all worked out as fate intended.
I think Coors Light girl is my favorite. And that is probably the only time I’ve had “Coors Light” and “favorite” in the same sentence.
I’ll take the Boner.
-Mr. Ayo
/we still aren’t making those jokes
She used to be the “It Girl” courtesy of her time on General Hospital.
Can’t remember her name tho. But always did liker her.
NFL Draft goes slow as shit. I step out to fix a 2nd plate of nachos and then they speed past my team’s pick.
Should’ve been Chris Henry.
I remember reading a draft recap from the year Charles Tillman was drafted–in the second round–and some “analyst’s” comment on the pick was that the Bears must have been smoking crack.
My point is everyone online is wrong.
a defensive back from U*NC?? LMFAO!!
At least he doesn’t have any off-field incidents.
in fairness, there were a couple games last season where they didn’t give up 50+ points and 400+ yards passing…
Intramural scrimmages?
It’s not like he has classes to fail, miss, or act out in.
What are those things at the end?
— any current or former U*NC student-athlete
Holy shit Boner Girl and Corona Girl!!
I’d watch that teamup (preferably as a porno)
found a funny:
the idea that the “ideal beach body” just means being thin or buff is so unimaginative, surely the ideal beach body would have a powerful lobster claw, arm flaps to act as a windbreak and a sand repellent anus.
— Jordan Peterson
GAH IF YOU SAY HIS NAME HIS DULLARD ACOLYTES WILL FIND YOU
Joe Addai – better with “Kemoko” than Vince Young was with “Harold.”
Lasted 10 minutes in to the game until i woke up the kid swearing. Personal Best.
The Bears drafting a receiver with injury issues? I’m sure that will work out fine.
What abput mental health issues? They are good at dealing with those
So, who gets drafted first – the one-armed guy or the guy everyone apparently has decided is a homo?
Tim Tebow
Wait. Who’s the homo?
-A.A. Ron
/ntrly we don’t make those jokes anymore
hee hee, apparently Guice out of LSU – that’s why he’s still on the board
You know what I’d like him on?
-A.A Ron
/ntrly we still aren’t making these jokes
“Natural bender” is also Jim Irsay’s constant mental state.
If Joe Theisman* was a more natural bender, perhaps his career would’ve lasted longer.
* See also RGIII, Teddy Bridgewater, and fuck it since I’m going to Hell anyway, Ryan Shazier
Natural benders can appear out of nowhere.
— Rob Bironas
I’m OK with that pick.
value is value, and OL is well important
IF YOU BOO ME NOW, YOU HATE TEH TROOPZ!
— Goodell
Fine with me.
Liek ah always say I’ll support teh WAR, just NAWT TEH TROOPS ,, smh
Bob Lilly is probably not going to troll the Eagles.
He is, however, going to go backstage and quietly murder their little mouthpiece there. And no one can stop him.
YAY, your Daddy died!!!!
USA! USA! USA!
Fucking assholes, every single one of ’em.
I would really like the Jets to win.
I am not not screaming at the tv.
Also, don’t forget to pay teh Troll Toll
Oh the Eagles just absolutely fucked the Cowboys on that one.
That was quality trolling all the way around.
God Bless Philadelphia
No.
— God
Merry Draftsmas!!
/also, #BFIB 4, Dirt Stillers nil WOO
In the spirit of hawkey, I present the Good Friday Massacre:

The Hunter brothers should have been gassed.
I’m a sucker for the classics.
U***x is #UpForWhatever, unless ‘Whatever’ involves keeping employees.
Happy Friday, everybody!
