Be The Draft

Thank god for the NFL. As America’s other major sports continue their downward moral and ethical spiral, football arrives just in time to save us. In the past week alone, 5 Giants were ejected from a single game; Keith Hernandez set the Women’s Lib movement back 50 years; and NBA players were suspended from the playoffs for clubbing opponents in the head, throwing mouthpieces at referees, and arguing with coaches over playing time. But just when you were ready to give up on sports for good, the NFL Draft arrives. Suddenly it’s Saturday morning, Mel Kiper is staring you in the face, and all is right with the world. Just in case you haven’t adequately prepared for this weekend’s festivities, here is a quick rundown of where you can expect the big names and familiar faces to end up:

Who is Winston Justice?

By Rob LaBrie

Winston Justice is the best offensive tackle in the upcoming draft. He’s going to dominate in the NFL, much like he did in the combine and on the USC pro day. He’s bigger and faster than anyone else. Justice is also the most athletic tackle in the draft and clearly has top ten talent. He has a pretty face and he’s much better than D’Brickshaw Ferguson in pretty much every way you could imagine. He even has a cooler name than D’Brickshaw. All of this is true. If you don’t believe me, just ask him… he’ll tell you all about it.

10 Reasons to Cry

Well, it’s that time of year again. The annual NFL Draft will be upon us soon, and fans like us waste no time speculating who the first overall pick will be, who the Browns will select, and what the team’s biggest needs are. These debates have been going on since the inception of the draft in 1936, and this year is no exception.

Inside Out: It’ll take more than Bush to make the Texans Competitive

Reggie may be the Consensus number one, but that doesn’t mean that he should be drafted first-at least not by the Texans.

New York Jets

Running by Matt Waters

There’s a gun pointed right in his face, and Curtis Martin isn’t scared, for that momentary time has passed. No, he is defiant, fearless in acceptance. He’s almost in a trance, captured by abject, inert peace. His fate, predicated in ghoulish, tragic nightmares, would be sealed and delivered, his destiny fruitlessly revealed, amiss in any grand design. His worst inclinations would be proved absolute in their truth, life, only through it’s conclusion, would at long last have essence. In a world only continued only through confusion, finally, an unbreakable certainty could and would exist: Curtis Martin is free to die.

No Comments on The Legend of Chad Pennington by Matt Waters

Pennington drops back to pass and just sits there, prone, alone, under pressure in the pocket. The offensive line is under siege, armed torpedoes clad in black and gold launch themselves full bore, attempting to penetrate the line of scrimmage.

He has no time, knows it, and prepares a pass. Only, his throwing motion is awkward, discomforting to watch, bound to unleash yet another dying quail. Two steps are taken, meaningful, painful steps, before the fling could be completed.

It sails out of his fingertips, destined for doom, caught in the wind, dying slow.

He’s playing hurt, and will never be what he was, will never to continue to be who he is, and will never be properly acknowledged for his sacrifice. This is the definition of injustice, a miscarriage of information, the Legend of Chad Pennington, almost utterly unheard of.

New York Jets

Jet-Lagged

Back in February the Jets appeared to be in a good position with the number four pick in this years draft. The Texans would take Bush, the Saints would take Young or Leinart, the Titans would take whoever the Saints didn’t pick, and the Jets would have their choice between Cutler and Ferguson. Oh if only life in the NFL were that easy.

Now the Jets number four pick seems less than desirable for their needs. When the Saints signed Drew Brees the Jet front office must have simultaneously said, “OH (Fill in the expletive).” Currently the Jets find themselves in quite a pickle with their position in this year’s draft.

2006 NFL Mock Draft

by Trevor Freeman

With the NFL Draft exactly two weeks away, Reggie Bush is getting ready to hear himself get compared with Gale Sayers approximately 1,657 times and Matt Leinart is praying that New Orleans doesn’t draft him. Drew Rosenhaus is readying himself to say “my client wants a $15 million dollar signing bonus” and Mel Kiper is pitching a tent. The “do I watch the draft at home or go out and get wasted” decisions are being made. Some might say I’m crazy, but I prefer watching the NFL and NBA Draft to watching a regular season game. There’s just something about the combination of pro and college that makes for riveting television.

1 Comment on Reggie Bush the Next Antonio Gates

By David J. Cohen

The entire football world knows Reggie Bush. He is the most elusive player in the draft. He is the most promising player to come into the draft since the turn of the millennium. He is constantly compared to Gale Sayers and Barry Sanders for his effortless change of direction and vision of the football field. All of this stems from his ability as a runner. It all comes from the fact that you hold your breath every time Reggie Bush touches the ball, because you know he can score at any time.
