With the blessing of DollyCali, I will be your host for this, the NFL Draft weekend!
A certain percentage of you probably don't know me, and some of you do. So let me give you the crash course, impromptu introduction...
GOP_Raider, a distinguished and wise poster at Free Republic, is a senior fellow at the National Institute of Hitting It. He is the author of such wisecracks as "Does Ted Kennedy cure hangovers by never sobering up?" and "Annoying liberals before annoying liberals was cool." GOP_Raider is single and lives in a well-armed compound somewhere in the western United States.
So yeah, as I mentioned earlier it's NFL Draft weekend, feel free to humor me with anything draft related or any recent stories of all of your dating experiences, good or bad.
Thanks for having me!
ROFL..
That's a really good question. Russell seems more like raw talent than polished talent, and I can probably understand the sentiment of a lot of LSU fans. I think that onus is going to fall upon Lane Kiffin, and at least for his rookie year, the veteran O-lineman we signed, like Jeremy Newberry and Cooper Carlisle, are going to make sure he doesn't get completely destroyed.
Otherwise, do folks generally follow just their favorite teams or do they follow the entire draft?
I can't watch the entire draft, at least not the ESPN coverage. I can only take so much of Mel Kiper, Jr. on my television. I may watch the NFL Network's coverage, since I can only hope it's better.
That’s a very interesting bit of news.
Hey all! Thanx for the ping! Any big plans for the weekend? I’ma studying for finals! Can I live vicariously through someone else.....since I have no life? *chuckle*
No, thank you for having ME!
Hey..post your fave....
Interesting...
FWIW, ESPN reported that Cleveland wants the #1 pick so the Raiders can drop to #3 and get WR Braylon Edwards.
see #28
Falcons..and they’ll go no better than 8-8, possibly 6-10 as long as Vick is the QB..IMHO, they traded the wrong guy..I think they needed to trade Vick for a true #1 WR and a draft choice or two and promote Schaub..they went in the wrong direction..
I think the new coach is just what Vick needed..I think the Falcons will surprise this year..
time will tell..tell me, in fantasy football, would you keep MJD in a keeper league?? I say yes, others say no..your opinion?
Couldn’t say..never played any fantasy league...
Maurice Drew? errr...Jones-Drew?
So is my brother. He's really hating life at this point...what classes are you taking?
will add you
I’m finishing my RN...
Smooch!
you did good FRiend GOP_Raider.
all.. I care a lot, circumstances change however. Many of you know & understand. I will help the transition “team” as best I can.
BTW, my date tomorrow is to a sports bar to eat/watch the draft. How sweet is that? (well, the Cav’s game is on the agenda also)
GO CAVS
Thanks, Dolly!
That reminds me I need to convince more women that sports bars are great places for dates. I believe the technical term for the kind of man that will take a lady to a comfortable sports bar is “Keeper”. Just so you know. ;)
Also, I actually pre-wrote a few pieces on some topics for the Singles thread that I think I’ll use for later weekends, since I don’t want to use up all of my literary masterpieces in one shot. :) Most of it is written like a monologue on articles I find from dating sites, dating horror stories, or just good, bad, and in between from other people’s single life. So I’ve got material for future weekends. :)
Anyway, thanks again for the opportunity Dolly!
