There is no way I'd go to the draft. Remember a few years ago when that OL from Wisconsin (?) told the NFL to screw off and went fishing with his dad instead? That's how you handle it. If you're not a top 5 pick then there's no reason to be there with the camera on you.

Joe Thomas. He was actually a top five pick and went #3.

I would sure as hell spend the day on a boat with my dad than wearing a suit in Radio City Music Hall with cameras stuck in my face. I don't know why anyone goes. It's not like they're going to draft you any differently based on whether you're in the building or not.

LOL I'm unwadded. Clippers make me tense. It's basically the same as a white out, black out etc. Gimmick to electrify the atmosphere.

No reason to be; Memphis was going to win this one all the way. Game 4 will be the one to tighten the sphincter over.

(I would actually rather you guys win despite my admitted admiration for Chris Paul. I have some family who root for the Grizzlies.)

Geno Smith now agrees. They said he is packing up and heading home. Don't blame him. I wouldn't stick around either.

Does anybody know the last time a 2 year juco player went 1 and done in division 1 and was a first round draft pick?

Been jamming this one lately. Entire record is great. Their big influence was The Replacements

Also RIP The Possum George Jones. I was fortune enough to see him at the Grand Ole Opry a few years back. Country music is now officially dead.

Come on now. It's easy for anyone to sit back and say that when they'll never ever ever be in that situation.

@edsbs: The next five tweets are going to be George Jones facts, all learned from reading his autobiography. #PossumFacts

@edsbs: 1. George Jones once got so drunk he woke up in a car in a river in water up to his chest.

@edsbs: 2. Jones claimed he was kidnapped by thugs who took out a life insurance policy on him. Tried to OD him on coke. THEY COULDN'T.

@edsbs: 3. Jones parked his car on the curb at the Nashville airport, and left it there with a note listing his address as "The Grand Ole Opry."


@edsbs: 4. He once came to after a bender and found himself laughing and flushing hundred dollar bills down a hotel toilet.

@edsbs: 5. Waylon Jennings once had to tie him to a chair with a telephone cord after Jones assaulted him and a friend with a guitar.

Good ole Possum was a wild one in his day.

Verc,

What has Erat been doing for the Caps? Haven't followed it much.

Don't think he's done much yet. One really nice assist that I remember; I can't remember if he's scored a goal himself or not yet. He's not on the top line with Ovechkin and Backstrom, and Ovechkin has been so incredible the last couple months that it's really overshadowed everything else.

Caps did come back to win the division. Playoffs next week. Probably need to get my mom to send me some of her Valium pills to get ready.

Forsberg played a few games. Looked good, slighty overmatched.. think he logged an assist. Ovechkin turned back the clock and is playing like he did a couple years ago. He is about to dominate the playoffs.

What's the benefit to going to the draft? I don't really understand why the top-10 locks go, much less the marginal first-round guys. I guess I just don't have or understand the type of personality that would enjoy sitting there with the cameras, the reporters, the attention. And doubly so when there's any risk that you don't get taken and end up like Brady Quinn and Geno Smith. Yuck.

Ovechkin had gotten stale and predictable; he was using the same moves all the time and defenses had figured out how to just push him wide and mostly neutralize him. The Caps' new coach moved him over to right wing for the first time in his career; there was a long adjustment period, but it seems to have paid off because now he's just blowing by people again since they don't know what he's going to do. I am pretty exited about the playoffs, since the Caps have been about the best team in the league for the last 6-8 weeks. Which means guaranteed heartbreaking first round loss coming up.

I'll throw them on spotify today at work, looks like they've got 4 albums up on there so I'll get a good feel. Any band that lists their big influence at the Mats is at least off to a damn good start.
