Guten Tag, Drones.

We’re excited to bring you your regular off-season Monday time-waster, the mock draft, as Hippo curls back into a fetal position for the next few months.

Unless the Cardinals are good this seaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Oh man, almost got that out, too.

Anyway, I’ve already got a list of 24 topics, which gives us six months of draft, which is almost enough to get us through to September, or whenever the real football season starts. As always, suggestions appreciated.  If you do suggest a topic give me who you would take first as well, as I do try to give the first pick to the person who came up with the Topic Du Week, as the French say.

The French do not say this.

This week’s topic I came up with all by my big boy self, so I’ll be taking the first pick.  Of which there can really be only one.

This week we’re taking Great Calls In Sports!  Was it at a sporting event?  Was it be an announcer?  Did you consider the call great?  Then it qualifies for a pick!

Will these three simple rules be too much for some of you?

Almost certainly.

As I said, there can really only be one reasonable choice for the #1 pick in this draft, (even if the one I have lined up as my second pick is on I like better), and that’s Al Michaels yelling “DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES?  YES!!!” as the US Men’s Hockey Team defeated the mighty Soviets in 1980.

The rest of you are on the clock.
