You should be golfing and pitching insurance ads instead of sullying your career with non-Jerry-Rice-like swoon songs.
I have much respect for Rice. He's a great example of a winner. I've tried to learn from him.
If you do Internet searches, you can find what people wrote about past drafts. It can often be amusing.
For example, the 2002 draft of the Philadelphia Eagles was a great draft. It was one of the main reasons why they were in the Super Bowl this year. They picked up Lito Shephard, Sheldon Brown, Michael Lewis, and Brian Westbrook. Everyone but Brown has been all-pro, and a lot of people think Brown should have been named all-pro.
At the time, the reviewers said the Eagles had an okay but not great draft. Some reviewers said Brown was a reach and Westbrook was too small to play in the N.F.L. Some questioned the wisdom of drafting three defensive backs when the Eagles already had three all-pro defensive backs.
That year, many of the critics were praising the Raiders' draft. The Raiders did get a few starters that year, but no all-pro players from that draft as of yet. It's hard to think of a team's draft where the critics praised it the next day and it proved to be as good as they said. Can anyone think of any examples?
The Chiefs picked just before the Niners that year.
They picked Ethan Horton.
It's like being a Cubs fan.
Yeah, he's great. Probably the greatest receiver playing today, even though he's far outside his prime.
But the HAIR! Jerry, it's time to Bic it for good pal. Just admit defeat.
