More on: NFL Draft, Mel Kiper (all tags)

  So we're in the smack dab in the middle of playoff season and getting underway with baseball, but this weekend it seems that all three major sports are being overshadowed by - drum-roll please - THE NFL DRAFT!  The draft is upon us!  All day coverage!  Mel Kiper Jr's Hair, complete with matching outfit and kung-fu grip!  Hooray!  Personally, I don't think ESPN's hype machine is working nearly hard enough to drum up interest in what essentially amounts to a multi-million dollar roll call.  When did it become necessary to sit around and waste a weekend watching the draft unfold live?  I'm not saying I'm not interested in the draft and its outcome, but what exactly are you missing out on by checking out a draft recap every once in a while?  Woe is me, I only have months to fully get to know this year's crop of rookies... but I need my draft information the minute it unfolds!

Now that Vince Young has been named Madden 2008 Coverboy, I hereby present to you the Vegas odds for circumstances of his inevitable injury and/or misfortune:

2:1 - Spontaneous eruption of ACL/MCL/PCL/LCD/ABC muscles on a routine scramble.

3:1 - On-field decapitation by an enraged Ray Lewis.

4:1 - Eaten by Jeff Fisher's Mustache.
