why the draft sucks
Apr 29th
The NFL draft is going on right now. Â I’m a big sports fan, love the football, and still I find the draft a barely watchable experience. Â I don’t really understand the whole concept of watching it on television because it’s quite possibly one of the dullest things on television.
Things that suck about the draft:
- The draft starts in April and is done hopefully sometime before the season starts. Â Teams in theory get 10 minutes a pick, but 32 teams times 10 minutes comes out to about five and a half hours. Â So how does the first round take more than a More >

Remember way back when I had all my lovely readers pick my fantasy football team name?
Well the season has ended and the results are in:
FRAGILE PORCELAIN MICE has triumphed!
That’s right folks, even though I had the worst/best team name and a pretty awful team, I managed to win the big game, a small pile of money, and most importantly, bragging rights amongst my friends until next season.
I know most of the folks reading this probably don’t give a Bengal’s ass about fantasy football or even football in general, but I won something and I’m damned sure going to talk about More >

I have always been a Green Bay Packers fan, and even before he was on the Jets, I was tired of hearing about him. Yeah, he’s a good quarterback, a great quarterback even, but seriously, enough already. Quarterbacks don’t play defense or catch the ball. They have an important part but not the only part. The Packers won their last Super Bowl because they had Reggie White, LeRoy Butler, a plethora of awesome receivers, Mike Holmgren, and Brett Favre. So enough already.
Now he’s on the Vikings, and frankly, woop de freaking do. Granted he’s a huge step up from whatever More >

The polling places are closed and the results are in. It was close but the results are final and binding, because those are the rules I just made up. Unless my team starts sucking, and I feel that the mojo is off, and a team name change is in order. Maybe I’ll even move the team to Detroit; I hear they haven’t had an NFL team there for a couple years.
“FRAGILE PORCELAIN MICE†is now my team, and you’ll be happy to know that they won their first game without even being named. Now I have an equally important task: More >

Alright ladies and gentlemen, the nominees are in and it’s time to pick. I received a bunch of suggestions through email, and some through other sources, then they went through a rigorous screening process (not really, that’s a lie) to appear before you today. You can vote once per day, and voting will be closed on Tuesday Morning.

On Sunday, my old college chums and I will engage in our annual ritual of our fantasy football draft. For anyone who has not been involved in one of these, the atmosphere consists of drinking, making fun of your friends in the same old way, eating pizza, and coming up with new ways to make fun of your friends.
One of the most important aspects of fantasy football is your team name. This is your chance to prove how clever you are and possibly stick it to one of your friends at the same time.
