Been busy the past week taking care of our new puppy. Lots of stuff worth of making fun of discussing:
The NFL Draft How great was it to speed through the first round in just over three hours?!? Makes enduring last year's six-plus hour marathon look like a walk in the desert. We have to admit that we simply could not watch the NFL 
Network's coverage over the weekend. It looked like a middle school presentation. And raise your hand if you like listening to Deion Sanders. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller Anyone? Not that ESPN was without fault. There were simply too many people on the set. You kind of need Jaws around to brag about all "the tape" he watches on the players. Mort is needed because he is somewhat plugged into the league -- though he is not the "insider" he once was. Chris "You Tube" Berman keeps things moving. And the draft without Mel Kiper is Christmas sans Santa. That leaves Keyshawn 
Johnson and Steve Young. The times we live in mandate having a former player around to throw in his 10 cents. Keyshawn is the politically correct choice. Yet, Young adds solid comments. Personally, we would get rid of both and let Todd McShay sit and fight Kiper. Mort could tell us what teams are thinking. Jaws could show us "the tape". Berman could be the point guard. And Mel and McShay could break down players and continue to bring their hatred for one another to our family rooms, which, of course, makes for great TV viewing. McShay is Kiper 25 years ago. Back then, Mel was the only one outside the league scouting the draft.The difference now is there are (at least) 10 Mel Kipers. McShay happens to be the best Mel, version 2.0. And that clearly bugs the crap out of Mel. It's the old story of the rookie moving in on the aging veteran star's turf.

1. The irony of Allen Iverson sitting home while the 76ers play on in the playoffs!
2. Fat Boy Paul Pierce throwing down gang signs in a playoff game?!?
3. Roger Clemens and his lover friend!
