He was my damn First Round Choice in my fantasy league. Aarrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:grr:

Cheneyin selfish athletes. AAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHH!!! :cry:

No, wait, CHENEYIN RETARDED "SUBSTANCE ABUSE" RULES!!!!! What the Cheney is a little pot going to do? If anything, it will make him perform worse.

Let's see, I've got Chris Brown and Julius Jones on my roster. Both of them will likely be spies at best - Jones more likely a bench-warmer.

I'm Cheneyed :(

1. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

That's why you don't have the draft in July.

[Mordecai]

2. Pick up Michael Bennett.

He's going to be awesome this year. I guarantee it!

[WilliamPitt]

I'm sure trumad has all the confidence in the world that Wannstadt will save the day!

4. I wonder what he'll do now

When he was a student at UT he always talked about being an elementary school teacher after playing football. Or he could go the Carl Weathers route and pursue a movie career.

10. He's is very interested in art also

That and the :smoke: Oh that was NOT fair!

[Scurrilous]

5. Oh well...

...with Ricky Williams out of the lineup, the Dolphins will just have to rely on the stellar coaching of Dave Wannstedt and the powerful arm of QB Jay Fiedler to take them to the playoffs this season. :)

6. good for him

He is the smartest football player ever.
I hope he goes back to Texas to coach in 10 years.

13. "smartest football player ever"

based on what...

[underpants]

14. ala Barry Sanders get out while you can walk

Earl Campbell can't move his feet anymore. 50% of chiropractors business (back in the 80's) was from the result of playing football at some level that only became apparent later in life.


"going through 50 car wrecks in one day" is one of the classic descriptions of what playing in the NFL is like.

16. If That What He Means Then I'm O K With That...

7. You guys drafted already?

Way too early for a draft.

We had ours a bit early last year, and two teams got burned when they drafted Michael Vick and Chad Pennington in the first round, and both went out for most of the season due to training camp injuries. Gotta wait until around the last training camp game to have a draft, unless you guys like the challenge.

BTW: Anyone putting together a DU FF league? If so, count me in.

20. I'm never letting my friends draft in June

Last year we did it in early August and it worked out fine. Drafting before the mini-camps is idiotic, I told them, but nooo... no one would listen.

Now I'm trying to get a Ricky Williams firesale going. Unfortunately, some idiot posted on the league message board so anyone who doesn't follow the sports news is aware of this. Thus, I can't screw anyone over anymore :(

12. i don't think he ever dug being in the public eye.

he just wanted to play some ball then go home and chill. gotta admire his doing what was best for him.

[St. Jarvitude]

21. Well, the Ditka wedding photo didn't help much

You know - the cover of SI when he was drafted? I think that pretty much set him in the public eye for good.

I think he was unfortunate to get such attention - after all, he didn't ask for the Saints to trade away their entire draft for the rights to him.

[RetroLounge]

18. Maybe he's gonna run for US Senate

instead of Ditka?
