Once again I find myself remembering that Monday comes after Sunday and that Monday means mock drafts, but I only remember after 11 when I’m trying for once to get to bed at a reasonable hour because some idiot, (me), scheduled three depositions for Monday.
I will not be around much tomorrow, ( see “depositions, three” above), but I did have an idea that is either going to work really well or collapse with a thud. We, or more likely you, will find out soon.
Yesterday was Mother’s Day, and I trust that you all had a good time either actually with, or speaking with, or reminiscing about your own mothers, no doubt all of whom are saintly creatures who couldn’t be prouder about the amount of time their son and/or daughter spends on a football and dick-joke blog when they really should be working. The talk of the Mom’s neighborhood, I’m sure.
Well fuck that. We’re not talking about saintly creatures today. Today we draft mothers you would not want as your own. Rules are simple: Any mother is eligible, fact or fiction, human or otherwise. Criteria is only: Is it a mother? Is it a really awful mother? if you can answer ‘yes’ to both of these questions, you can draft that mother.
Also you can’t draft your own mother. Save that for your therapist.

Not that kind of draft, Bill, and anyway you’d just trade down and take a lineman from Alabama that Nick Saban told you was awesome. Now git!
Anywhoo, with the first pick I’ll take our featured image up there, Joan Crawford of ‘Mommie Dearest’ fame. Jesus that picture is terrifying. No carnations for you, Joanie.
The rest of you are on the clock. In my likely absence for most of the day I hereby delegate commissionership duties to Rikki-Tikki-Deadly, mostly because I like the way he gets drunk with power.
Given what has happened over the last few decades, Bill Cosby has to be right up there with regards to the worst mothers of all time.

Has anyone taken Mother Russia?
You did.
The Germans tried really hard.
Several times.

That’s a damn good dog.
Also, Mrs. Collins from The Sixth Sense. That reveal kicked me in the stomach.

Just an incredible experience in the theater (knowing nothing)
Same here. Plus, I was drunk!
Yeah if I’d been on a fictional cycle she’d have been my Munchausen pick.
“Can’t believe Mother Theresa is still on the board.”
-Christopher Hitchens, shaking his head
[it is not clear whether the head-shaking is meant as a sense of disapproval, or simply an involuntary tremor as a result of not having ingested any alcohol in the previous fifteen minutes.
Christopher Hitchens is a super problematic fella given his support of the Irag War but I’ll give him a pass because I at one time thought that Bubblicious bubble gum was far better than Hubba Bubba. Smart people make egregious mistakes sometimes. It happens.
*Iraq, maybe?
Remember Susan Smith? Strapped her two young sons into car seats then rolled the car into a lake? And blamed it on a black guy (because South Carolina)? May be out on parole next year.
I imagine that’ll be quite the parole hearing.
Couple key witnesses won’t be able to testify.
The 80’S called and want their blue eye shadow back
Yass kween!
Velma Von Tussle, from ‘Hairspray’
Younger version of Ma Trump?
Pretty much a dead ringer.
Melania Trump is still on the board? That’s great value.
I just don’t even think of her as a mother.
Neither does she.
Is it, though? She just gives the impression that you wouldn’t get your money’s worth.
The unnamed bitch from People Under the Stairs.
Last one for me. Mary Ball Washington. Apparently the mother of the father of our country was a right bitch, constantly demeaning, undermining and embarrassing him.
Come on, that’s just George Washington in drag, and someone already took Norma Bates.
4. Back to the real world: Dee Dee Blanchard.
This fills my “Munchausen By Proxy” roster slot. You could fill an entire team with those monsters though, honestly.
Livia Soprano was a real piece of work.
?fit=480%2C294&ssl=1&is-pending-load=1
Pink’s Mum.
Kate Gossling. Basically any reality show mom
Just look at the way she denies her thirsty child a drink of water, and then has some herself while the poor girl watches. That’s elite talent; you can’t coach that.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0Y0W_AsKXs
Did someone draft her below, or was there just a discussion of her? Not sure what the story with the early Kate McAllister pick, or even who that is.
It’s the mom from Home Alone.
Got it. No Blair Witching so far.
Also not clear that the Blair Witch ever reproduced, so not eligible for this draft. Although she did kidnap a lot of kids. Hmmmmmmmmm.
That was my fault, I think.
This bitch
JFC. Do they go to the same hair stylist?
I think they use a cotton candy machine.
Welp, now you’ve got Big Cotton Candy all pissed off at us, Gumbygirl!
And by proxy, Coach Andy Reid.
Eli is excited, but only because he heard “cotton candy.”
Eh, they melt at the first sign of heat. Pussies.
Looks like Donald in drag trying to get a social security check
Nadya Suleman
Pardon the Fox News link, hard to find any that are SFW

June Cleaver. Anyone who cleans the house in pearls and heels has to be an absolute demon. No wonder Ward was always “punishing the Beaver.”
Pamela Voorhees. Arguably a very devoted mother, but she did make it awfully hard to keep friends around.
That’s a terrific pick.
Anges Skinner.
Other Mother, from Coraline
While smiling in this pic, Mrs. Bates was not all sunshine and rainbows.
Original post is stuck in approval purgatory. Take two:
Mary Lee Johnston:
?q=x_2,y_35,h_1010,w_1796,c_crop/h_540,w_960/f_webp
Mo’nique was almost too good in that role. Damn.
Precious based on the novel Push by Sapphire in league with Ghostmadam and produced in partnership with US Steel buoyed by Flash recommended to Boy! and loaned out to Vagueness
Lady Tremaine (Cinderella’s stepmother)
Mary Lee Johnston. (Mo’nique was so good in that role. Almost too good.)
?w=620&h=360&crop=1
3. Fiction again, so I’ll go with Nola Carveth from the David Cronenberg film “The Brood”.
I’ll keep the Jessica Walter love going and take Lucille Bluth.

Mrs. Mac, the living cigarette.
Eleanor Shaw Iselin.
Patsy Ramsey seemed bad for some reason
GODDAMMIT
Fucking work held me up, I had everything set to make this pick.

The whole point of the Monday Morning Mock Draft is to interfere with work, so you get no sympathy points here. Get your priorities in order and your picks in; that meeting can wait.
2. Kris Jenner, for a myriad of reasons.
?w=620
Caitlyn’s no prize either.
I get that they are all related, but it looks like the same face just pasted on top of a few dresses, and then change the hair a bit
Now you’re getting it!
*pushes glasses up nose*
The Power Glove?
They all go to the same plastic surgeon. Over and over again. Eventually, their eyes will be on the back of their heads.
Mama June (or any other mother that enters their child in a beauty pageant. I mean, good God. Talk about ‘grooming’)
?resize=768,639&quality=75&strip=all
2. Alternating between fictional and real, I’ll take Tonya Couch, mother of famous “affluenza teen” monster Ethan Couch.
Bobby Boucher’s momma

Henrietta Dodd (from The Dead Zone)
?1&resize_w=320
Outstanding pick. Forgot all about that loon.
Nancy Reagan.
THAT’S NOT TRUE!!! MY MOM JUST REALLY LIKES GOATS!!!
Yeah, having to say that every day before yet another playground fight would get old quick.
One depo down. Checking in real quick, I see RTD as things well in hand.
Next pick is Casey Anthony. I am aware she was acquitted. As Jay Cutler might say “DOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNN’T CAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRE!!!”
Now I have to re-arrange my board.
“Boards? Like those things you pull up and hide a kid’s body under? I mean those things that you hypothetically pull up and hide a kid’s body under?”
-Anthony, C.
I thought she’d slide down the board further, guess I was wrong.
I feel like the acquittal is the NFL equivalent of “character concerns”. It’s a high-risk pick that you aren’t sure is going to pan out.
The First Lady of the #GunShow!
(EDIT – Since I misread the damned question, I pick Mary, Mother of Jesus. Because too much damned pressure.)
RIKKI: Um, Hippo, this draft is of mothers you wouldn’t want…
HIPPO: Quiet! Tucker Carlson’s new twitter show is about to start!
(good heavenly Christ, I need to learn how to read)
Reading is very over-rated for attorneys. I just yell a lot and wave my arms.
or so i’ve heard
-Lea Michelle
1. I’ll take Margaret White (Carrie’s mother).
Oh, much better than Joan. She was the worst.
This is probably the strongest #1 pick I’ve ever made in one of these drafts.
Kate McCallister. She has too many kids that she can’t keep track of their emotional needs, their behavior and their whereabouts.
Redacted! Wrong Kate.
Did you mean Kate Gosselin? She’s a monster, just for the hair
I’m reaching, but sometimes you have to trust your board
Cartman’s mom:
Oh yeah? Well, Cartman says Kyle’s mom is a bitch!
https://youtu.be/i9AT3jjAP0Y
She reminds me of someone I know.

If we’re drafting children we don’t want at some point, this little shit has to be high on the list
