So, I took a hiatus from writing in week 10 and completely whiffed out on any commentary for the next 9 weeks. Whoops.
Anyway, let's start this off with this heart-warming tale (or is it heart-worming) about Michael Vick being involved in underground dog fighting rings. I read a letter to the editor in the paper reminding us that despite the tragedy of the shooting, Virginia Tech has provided the world with good things. Name one. Go. Go go go. The commish is going to bring down the wrath of God if it can be proven the dogs were for more than just holding jewelry.
So, the draft is Saturday. I don't follow a lot of college football, frankly, so all this talk of Calvin Johnson and Jamarcus Russel and Brady Quinn is something I'll leave to those who do. I'll have analysis of picks, though, based on what ESPN tells me to think. I think if I were a coach I'd want to draft a guy with intangible character elements and the drive to utilise his tools to the fullest of his ability. That seems to be what everyone's after. Oh, and he should be able to run the 40 in 3.5 seconds wearing a drag chute. Uphill. Both ways.

Fuck the Patriots.
Also, "Big" Ben Roethlisberger is overrated.

I know that when I think of Virginia Tech, I think of strapping as many G5's together as they can get their grubby little hands on to make super-computers.
Besides that, Vick obviously got a stern talking to by the commisioner of the NFL in their "20 question session" that they had after the whole 'my cousin might be having dog fights at this place I bought him' incident.
There was once a time when you wanted my opinion in here and then I was still in school and busy. Now I have no life, would you still like another opinion on the footballs? As you know I am a big fan of collegiate level football and wouldn't mind throwing in my two cents now and then.

Oh no a stern talking to? Pacman Jones gets suspended for a year for making it rain. Michael Vick raises 70+ fighting dogs on his property and he gets a stern talking to?
I know as a Miami fan I have severely limited room to complain about thugs ruining the sport of football, but honestly. Can't we just ban VATech for a while? The Dolphins cut Marcus Vick just recently for fuck's sake.
I mean, here's a team who passed on Brady Quinn and took Ted Ginn, Jr with pick #9 overall and they still had the common goddamn sense to shitcan Marcus Vick. That says a lot.
Man, did you see Brady Quinn play this year? At least Ginn managed to score against the Gators in the championship game. I mean, he broke his damn ankle while celebrating that score but you know... he's got to have something going for him, right?
Ted Ginn was not the 9th best player in the NFL draft this year. I know everybody expected the Fins (and then the Jags) to pick Brady Quinn, but I think they may have made a good choice.
Did you see Wes Welker in the regular season opener against Pittsburgh? Homeboy was Casper the Friendly Return Ghost.
Ted Ginn could step onto any field in the NFL and be a threat as a return man based on speed alone. Shit, look at Devin Hester. He's just so goddamned fast it doesn't matter what other "intangibles" he has. Punt the ball to him and pray to whatever god(s) you serve that you can wrap him up before he brings it back for 6. That's a valuable skill to have.
Now, as for Brady Quinn, no I did not watch him play because in addition to the Patriots, fuck Notre Dame, too. They're another team that gets their cock sucked at every possible opportunity because they're Irish and even though ND is in South Bend, Indiana they're associated with Boston and the cockrock-like Mick population out there.
Fuck Notre Dame, fuck the Patriots, and fuck bandwagon fans. Fuck independent conferences. Fuck cherry-picking schedules so you can go undefeated against teams like Baylor and Army. Fuck Brady Quinn. Fuck Notre Dame, man.
Hostility? Bet your fucking ass. Catholics vs. Convicts. Look it up.
