Breaking Down the 2007 NFL Draft

I spent most of Saturday nursing a large hangover, which gave me the golden opportunity to lie on the couch and catch all of the 1st round of the draft. At first blush, that might not sound too impressive, since there are 7 rounds in the draft…and I only watched one. But that’s before you consider that the 1st round of the 2007 NFL draft was the longest round in the history of the draft. It took over 6 hours to make 32 picks.

Who’s drafts I liked:

* New England Patriots - The best organization in the league once again showed it this off-season and draft. Between their loss to Indy in the playoffs and now, they’ve done a complete 180 as a team. Last year Brady was throwing to two former cab drivers and a kid they found sleeping on a park bench. Next year, he’ll be throwing to Wes Welker, Randy Moss and Donte Stallworth. Big upgrade there. And I love the Merriweather pick in the 1st round. Is the kid a thug? For sure. Will they be able to keep in-line in New England? Let’s just say they’ve got as good a shot as any team does. NE is where thug players go to die (or at least straighten up). And I think Oscar Lua will be a steal for them in the 7th Round. He just seems to fit the mold of a linebacker who can play in their system in New England.

* Denver Broncos - They overloaded on their defensive line. But that was an area of concern for them, and I think they addressed it marvelously. Trading up for Jarvis Moss was a smart move because he could be the second coming of Jevon Kearse. And Tim Crowder in Round 2 is another great pick. A lot of people thought Crowder had 1st Round talent. And “Tank” Thomas is a “character risk”, but that’s the reason he fell so far. If he keeps his nose clean, he’s a great pick up that late.

* Tennessee Titans - I think the Titans have had a poor offseason, losing Henry and their top wideouts. But I think their 2007 draft addressed some needs. And if the players they got pan out, then they could be in great shape in the coming years. Mike Griffin is a headhunter at safety. Reminds me a lot of current Pats standout Rodney Harrison. I think he’ll help fill the secondary void that losing corner Pacman Jones has created. They don’t play the same position, but he lifts the overall value of their secondary. Not sure about the RB in the 2nd, but the Titans obviously seem something in him. I do love all of the WR picks, especially Filani from Texas Tech. Way underrated WR in my opinion. I think he’ll have a long, productive career in Tennessee. And Chris Davis and Paul Williams will compete for starting jobs as well. I think out of the 3 drafted receivers, 1 will wind up a starter (Filani or Davis most likely) and one will become their 3rd WR. Good stuff for the Titans in the ‘07 draft. Somewhere Vince Young is smiling…help is on the way, Vince, help is on the way.

* NY Jets - They had a very small draft (only 4 picks). But I love what they did with them. Trading up to get Revis at 14 was a smart move. Revis might be the top corner in the draft, and his hands are amazing. You throw anything near him and he’s going to catch it. Their 2nd round pick, David Harris, is a linebacker who should excel in Mangini’s 3-4 scheme. Chalk both these guys in as starters for the 2007 season. J-E-T-S…Jets, Jets, Jets.

* All the teams that traded down and got 1st Round picks next year as compensation. The Cowboys & Patriots might both wind up with Top 10 picks in the 2008 draft from the teams they traded with this year. They’ve got to be salivating already.

Who’s drafts I don’t like:

* Green Bay Packers - What the fuck? That’s my complete grade for the Pack in this draft. My two questions for their General Manager: Who is Favre going to throw to this season? Who is going to tote the rock for the Pack? I think Green Bay fans are going to look back on this draft for years as a loser.

* NY Giants - I liked the picks at the top. Aaron Ross (Thorpe Award winner) is a stud corner, who can also contribute greatly in the return game. He’s also got size to match up with some of the big WRs in the NFL. And I think Steve Smith could be a sleeper pick in the draft. Smith comes from a strong program that flung the ball around a lot. So he’s well coached and a very precise route runner. But that’s where what I like ends. They didn’t address needs at linebacker and on the offensive line. I think if they were going to make sentimental picks, they should have taken local kid Brian Leonard instead of the Ivy Leaguer Zach DeOssie (I don’t care that his Dad played for the G Men). Not only that I don’t get why they were drafting DTs and TEs so high, when those are already positions they are solid. After the picks at the top, I don’t think this draft did much to improve Coughlin’s team.

* Miami Dolphins - Okay, this is a pretty unoriginal opinion as every NFL commentator on the planet has been bagging on the Dolphins for their Ted Ginn Jr. pick. But hey, I don’t like their draft. My issue was not that they passed on Brady Quinn to pick Ginn Jr. It was just that they picked a guy who’s all about speed, and is currently unable to run full speed. What if Ginn doesn’t recover his lighting fast speed? And even if he does, I just can’t see him doing the same things in the pros that he did playing against Akron or Purdue. Ginn doesn’t like contact, and the pro game is all about being physical. He’s going to struggle in press coverage and I think he was a big reach this early. No idea on the BYU QB in Round 2 because I don’t watch mormons play football (sorry Steve Young). But I think he’s a career backup at best. I think the Dolphins should have spent their early picks on rejuvenating their aging Defense and then tried to piece together their offense through free agency. Bad draft for the Phins.

* Notre Dame - First Jeff Smardja decides a couple of months ago to go play baseball for the Cubs, rather than try for a future in the NFL. We call that a business decision. And I don’t think it speaks well for one of the poster children of their football program. Then on draft day we have the whole Brady Quinn saga (read more below). Complete with Charlie Weiss supposedly calling NFL teams to them to take a chance on him. But perhaps the biggest hit they took in this draft. ND starting running back, Darius Walker, declares early for the draft and then doesn’t get selected. So he gave up returning to the Irish for his senior year, when he would have been the sure starter, to try to be a FA pick up or go play in NFL Europe. Yikes, that’s what I call a real slap in the face - both to him as a player, and the ND program.

Random thoughts on the 2007 NFL Draft:

* The Big East conference only had 3 first day picks. Recall the Big East does have an automatic BCS bid. So that’s a pretty crappy show of the talent in the conference.

* The two knocks on Troy Smith were his size and how he played in the National Championship Game versus Florida. Troy is 6 feet tall. But Drew Brees is also just over 6 feel tall. And Drew seems to be doing just fine for the Saints. I understand shorter QB’s doing well in the NFL are the exception to the rule. But Smith seems to have fairly unique talent. And this leads me to my second point. Yeah, I agree Smith layed an egg in the BCS Title game. Maybe the Florida defense was too fast for him. God knows he didn’t see defenses quite that fast in the Big 10. And maybe he melted down when all of the chips were on the table. Or, perhaps he just played a bad game against the Gators. I saw him play some phenomenal games against top notch defenses in the months just prior. Both the Michigan Wolverines and Texas Longhorns had a ton of their defenders picked in the draft. And Troy Smith shredded both of those defenses. So based on those performances, and a lot of other good one’s - I think he’s showed that he has great pro potential. And I think Baltimore is a great fit for him. No pressure to start and he can learn to play QB from Steve McNair and Brian Billick.

* I’m not a Notre Dame hater like a lot of people. But I nearly became one on Saturday during the NFL draft. Jesus H. Christ, enough with the poor Brady Quinn bullshit. A few teams weren’t sold on him, so he dropped to 22 in the draft. Big deal, right? Well it was a HUGE deal to ESPN. For the first few hours it was all they would talk about. It felt as if I tuned in to the Brady Quinn TV Network. Thankfully Roger Goodell (NFL Commish) saw that Brady was on the verge of tears with the camera constantly on him in the green room. Goodell invited Quinn and his (freaking out) family to sit with him in his private (i.e.- no tv cameras) in the back. I also didn’t care much for Quinn’s reaction or demeanor once he was finally drafted by the Browns. Granted, I know there is a huge difference in cash between going #3 overall and #22 overall (about $50 Million difference in contract based on 2006’s deals), but I thought Brady could at least act excited. I’m not sold on the kid at the next level, and his performance on Saturday does not mean I’m going to root for him. It’s funny to me that the media had so much sympathy towards him, and these are the same ’sharks’ who are going to be carving him up if he doesn’t perform in Cleveland. Btw- I didn’t hear the same amount of sympathy from the media for guys like Troy Smith, Greg Olsen, Alan Branch or Mason Crosby who were also slotted to go much higher than they did.

* Some big name college players who were not drafted include the following: Chris Leak (QB from Florida Gators) and Darius Walker (RB from Notre Dame).

* The Eagles drafted a QB in Round 2. Interesting if you ask me. I think that decision speaks volumes about McNabb’s health. Could Donovan being turning into Daunte (circa 2006) right before our eyes? I’m nervous if I’m an Eagles fan. Although I’m unsure whether they needed him, I think Kolb will be a good QB for them someday. Andy Reid knows quarterbacks.

* So your son is a stud high school football player and you are trying to decide which school to send him to in order to get him to the pros. Well you really can’t go wrong with any of the schools below. These are the Universities that were best represented in 2007 draft, based on number of players drafted:
9 players - Florida Gators
8 players - Ohio State Buckeyes
7 players - Michigan Wolverines, Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Texas Longhorns,
6 players - Tennessee Volunteeers
5 players - Auburn Tigers, Arkansas Razorbacks, Clemson Tigers, FSU Seminoles, Hawaii Warriors, LSU Tigers, Miami Hurricanes, Penn State Nittany Lions and USC Trojans

** The majority of schools on the list are the one’s you regularly see supplying the most talent to the NFL. I was a little surprised to see Hawaii crack the list. Obviously they had a bumper crop of talent this year. And LSU only had 5 players drafted, but 4 of them went in the 1st round. So there should be a few more Escalades driving around down in Baton Rouge this Summer.

* The conference with the most players drafted? The SEC had 41, followed by the Big 10 with 32. The ACC had 31 and the Big 12 had 28.

Who I want to have sex with right now…

My wife is in Las Vegas this weekend, laying out in her bikini, sipping drinks, and hopefully getting a few looks from the opposite sex. Call me crazy, but I like it when other guys check out my wife. I’ll check out their wife and think nothing of it. I can’t imagine the thought of being the only one that finds my wife attractive.

Anyways, enough with the small talk. The point is she’s on vacation and I’m not. I’m stuck here having to drum up some skin on the Internet, while she’s probably got 100 horny guys within 100 yards in every direction.

Assuming the guy is worthy, she gets the free pass. Who do I consider worthy this week?

Odd choice? You might think, but Dwight Schrute is more loyal than a labrador and his sense of humor is underrated. Any gal would be lucky to have him, and who am I to deny my wife pleasure.

As for me? I’m a sucker for the olive skinned ladies. She’s a relative newcomer, but Maria Menounos made a beeline for my heart. Great rack, tight ass. I think I’m in love.

Marisa Miller Photos

A Friday tribute to one of the hottest, young models on the planet. The SI cover babe, Marisa Miller.

Marisa was born in Santa Cruz, California in 1978. She’s been a model for Perfect 10 magazine, Victoria’s Secret and most famously Sports Illustrated. According to a Stuff Magazine interview she did, Marisa’s interests include football, cars and cooking. Let me repeat that to you slowly - she actually ENJOYS both football and cooking…and she’s hot as hell. That’s like batting for the cycle, in every game, for an entire baseball season. It’s just too good to imagine that MM and I could sit down and enjoy watching some football together. And then afterwards she’d whip me up a wonderful tasting meal. And then after that… Okay, okay on to the photos.

Here are some lovely bikini pictures of the heavenly Marisa Miller:

Breaking Down the Top 10 Golfers in the World

All golfers, even the ten best in the world, have weaknesses/flaws/vices.  Old Coach will walk you through ‘em…

10.  Paddy Harrington:  In my life, I’ve never seen a human being more resemble a duck.  From his voice to his feet to his face to his gait.  Paddy’s got a duck somewhere in his bloodline.  He does better on courses where there’s a lot of water.  Or where fans throw bread crumbs in the fairway.  He’s one dimensional like that.  Oh, and he bites his tongue.  Name a great golfer who bit his tongue.

9.  Geoff Ogilvy:  Most golf writers will tell you, there isn’t a better interview in the game right now.  Smart, clever, unique answers and perspectives.  But he wore gold shoes at Augusta.  Gold shoes?  That’s gay.  Can you imagine Hogan, Nicklaus, or Tiger wearing gold shoes? 

8.  Retief Goosen:  Goose is pretty unflappable, but he’s not a big fan of thunderstorms.  Everyone’s heard the story about Goose getting stung by lightning as a teenager.  It turned him into the dullest human being on the planet.  Maybe not the best dinner companion, but his demeanor is all you want in a major championship.  If he were to get struck again, it’d change him back into a jumpy, loudmouth, which would wreck his game.  Keep him out of the rain.

7.  Vijay Singh:  This isn’t relevant, but how in the hell is Vijay 7th in the world?  Are you telling me you’d take any of the next five guys over him?  Anyway, Vijay’s weakness is that he likes to practice too much.  Any course without a decent practice facility is going to cause him problems.  This is also irrelevant, but I’d pay a grand of my own money for a pay per view UFC fight between Vijay and Mickelson.

6.  Henrik Stenson:  His main flaw is that he’s not nearly good enough to be 6th in the world.  That’s all the ink he and his awful sunglasses get.

5.  Ernie Els:  His weakness is the quick hook.  It’s been popping up since the knee injury.  Ernie hasn’t been the same since Mickelson clowned him at the ‘04 Masters, the playoff loss to Todd Hamilton in the ‘04 Open Championship, and the surgery.  He’s carrying quite a bit of mental and physical baggage at the moment.

4.  Phil Mickelson:  His weakness is his brain.  His portly body can make up for it a lot of the time.  But if he has to think, he can get in trouble.  It’s just mind boggling he hasn’t stuck with the gameplan that won him three majors.  He’s gone on record as saying he’s concerned about sacrificing distance.  Why?  His other flaw is that he’s completely and totally full of shit.  From subcutaneous fat to the stock market to picking NFL winners.  He likes hearing himself talk too much.  Phil, you’re really, really good at golf.  That doesn’t mean you’re an expert on anything else.  And until you win another big one, I’m afraid 18 at Winged Food defines you.

3.  Adam Scott:  Now that he got his teeth fixed, I’m pretty sure I’m more envious of this guy than anyone else on the planet.  I don’t think he deserves to be ranked this high, but he’s got plenty of game.  And the ladies follow him in flocks.  He does have problems when his hair gets a little long, as evidenced by his hair growing competition with Sergio and Tim Clark a couple years ago.  Looked like he had a nutria under his hat.  So his weakness, other than not doing much of anything in a major yet, is that his hair looks terrible when he grows it out.  I’m telling you, this guy has it all.

2.  Jim Furyk:  He’s bald and looks a lot like the blue muppet eagle.  Due to his wildly loopy swing, he can’t keep any change in his right pocket - watch his swings and notcie his hands right before impact.  They’re almost in his pocket.  Other than that, he doesn’t hit it very far and he’s only got the one major. 

1.  Tiger Woods:  His weaknesses are a love for cash, hot blondes, and winning majors.  Maybe not in that order.  Sure, he’s going bald - the Tiger fro has seen better days - like in the mid-90’s - but golfwise, he’s as flawless as a human can get.

Hot Chicks in a Pillow Fight

Today, we’re going to talk about a sport that has been an American favorite for decades. The sport of pillow fighting. Pillow fighting is not just a sport, it’s also an art form. Below are a few of the things you need to know about Pillow Fighting.

Rules of Pillow Fighting:
1. Pillow Fighting is for females only.
2. Pillow Fights should take place indoors, preferrably a bedroom.
3. Proper Pillow Fighting attire is lingerie or pajamas of some type. Bikinis are also acceptable.
4. No one should ever swing hard enough to injury anyone else during a pillow fight.
5. No hard foam pillows. All pillows used should be soft and filled with feathers.
6. The pillow fight ends when all of the girls are hot and need to take a shower to cool off.
7. There are no losers in a pillow fight. Everyone wins!

Pillow Fighting FAQ:

If you stumble upon girls in the middle of a pillow fight, what should you do?
Pull up a chair and watch. And drink a beer if you’ve got one.

What happens if someone is injured in a pillow fight?
First, no one should ever get injured because the point of a pillow fight is to look sexy, not injure anyone. But if a mishap does occur, then the fight should stop. All girls present should massage and/or tenderly kiss the injured girl until she is back to health. Sometimes a quick dip in the hot tub will soothe a pillow fight injury.

Should you pillow fight in the nude?
There is a common misconception that naked pillow fighting is appropriate. But that’s incorrect - girls involved in pillow fights should always be clothed. There is a lot of jerky movement going on during a pillow fight. And that may cause some less than flattering images if someone were nude. Although, after the pillow fight ends it is okay if the girls involved want to get naked and/or make out.

Is there an age limit on pillow fight contestants?
Yes, the recommended ages for pillow fighting are 18 to 25. It is occassionally acceptable for someone older to participate, but only those that are in the peak of physical condition for their age range. There is no MILF or Cougar Pillow Fighting. Those older ladies need to keep it classy.

What is the proper type of pillow to use in a pillow fight?
The recommended pillow for a pillow fight is the classic, large, white feather pillow.

Pictures of girls pillow fighting:

Here is a group pillow fight. The girl in the middle is demonstrating the I’m getting beat over the head with a pillow, but I still look cute pose..

Here is an example of proper pillow fighting attire. Although the pillows they are using are wrong. They should be using soft feather pillows to avoid injuries.

More good pillow fighting attire. Although the chick on the right is obviously outside the proper pillow fighting age range. She would need to be fighting in the Skank division.

Here is a picture from the professional Pillow Fighting League. The chicks in the league are not hot, but they do know how to swing a pillow.

This is a huge Pillow Fighting faux paux. Guys should never, ever participate in pillow fights. There is no way for a guy to look cool while swinging a pillow, as evidenced by the dude in this picture. Very weak!

A virtual pillow fight. Um…I’m not into virtual reality. Next picture, please.

Twins pillow fighting? Sure, I’m a fan. Does it make it harder to know who to root for? No, because remember everyone is a winner in a pillow fight.

This is the classic pre-Pillow Fight pose. The hot girls are on the bed and and square up to face each other to start the fight.

These two hot chicks hug after their pillow fight, before they hit the showers. Warms my spirits to see such good sportsmanship in pillow fighting.

Who I want to have sex with right now…

To my wife’s dismay (we’ll call her Ashley), about three times a week I give her permission to sleep with certain individuals that I consider in such high regard that I couldn’t possibly fault her for having one night of fantastic sex.

I stress, ONE night. I would never endorse any sort of an affair. Just something that’s purely physical.

She hates it when I do this . Ashley is about as sweet and innocent as they come, and prefers not even think about such a scenario. But deep down she knows I’m probably serious.

All that being said, at least temporarily, I think I’m going to post on this site those individuals that I wouldn’t deny Ashley, and in addition, the ladies that I would just assume she would allow me to satisfy my urges.

Her man of the week: Horatio Cane (David Caruso) Miami-Dade Police Department (CSI-Miami) . The guy is pure class and a total stud. How could any woman refuse his advances? You always know its safe when Horatio’s in the house.

My mistress: Alessandra Ambrosio - Victoria’s Secret supermodel. At least for this week, she sits atop the rankings in my book. I’d eat her band-aids.

Well there you have it. Wish me luck. Check back. I’ll let you know how it’s going…

Guns N Roses Reunion

GNR reuniting? Could Axl, Slash, Duff and Izzy really play together again?

Okay, I’m not going to hold my breath on this one. But there have been rumblings this Spring every since an interview that GigWise.com did with former GNR drummer, Stevie Adler.

In the interview, Adler revealed that he recently buried the hatchet with Axl. Adler said, “I saw Axl, talked with him from ten or 12 at night to eight in the morning. We resolved a lot of s**t.”

Adler goes on to say that Axl has also been in talks with Slash, Duff and Izzy to try to resolve similar issues with them.

Adler said he told Rose, “You know the five of us have to get back together! That’s when it will really take off again! Nothing will be bigger. It would be the biggest reunion ever in history.” To which Adler said Axl just grinned and giggled a little bit.

Adler went on to say, “I’ve been talking with Slash. I’ve been talking with Izzy. He wants a reunion.”

So could it be possible that the best band in the World might be getting back together? Again, it would probably take a lot for the band to all forgive and forget. And there are still a couple of big factors that could stand in the way of a reunion of the original Guns N Roses.

First, Slash and company currently have their own Grammy award winning band, Velvet Revolver. Revolver is led by former Stone Temple Pilots frontman, Scott Weiland, and has a new album (Libertad) coming out in July 2007. So you would assume that the band plans to tour together in-support of the album. If that’s really the case, then how long will Axl be willing to wait for them to rejoin his band (GNR).

Second, Axl and the current version of Guns N Roses are rumored to be in the final stages of work on the LOOOOOOOONG awaited album, Chinese Democracy. So it’s hard to imagine that Axl would be willing to drop that project, so close to completion, to get the old band back together. Chinese Democracy has been in production for more than 10 years and is rumored to have cost $13 Million dollars to make. If that figure is true, it would be the most expensive album in the history of music.

So in my estimation the earliest the original Guns N Roses could reunite would be 2009. Figuring that once each current band releases their album, they go on-tour for the next year and a half, or so, in support of the album. And in February 2009 Axl will be turning 47 years old. Not exactly the normal age for a Rock N Roll star to hit the road on a “new” adventure…unless you are the Rolling Stones.

So all this boils down to the fact that I’m not holding my breath for a reunion of the original lineup of Guns N Roses. I think Axl is one of the baddest men on the planet, but I also know that he’s a stubborn, egocentric, asshole. And it’s very unlikely that he can change, or cover that up enough, to get Slash, Duff and Izzy to come back to join him.

But hey, there’s always YouTube. Where there is plenty of good Guns N Roses to watch.

Here is Guns N Roses live rendition of Paradise City from the Freddie Mercury tribute concert:

Now after watching that clip, try to tell me that Guns N Roses isn’t one of the greatest bands in history. I just hope I get to watch them together again someday.

Shattered Dreams

I know I’m not the only 30-something guy that grew up wanting a piece of Nicole Eggert. She was the gorgeous girl on Charles in Charge, but even more important in my adolescence was the scene where she goes down on Corey Haim in Blown Away, instantly becoming the coolest chick these eyes had ever seen. From there she went on to appear in Baywatch and completely solidified her status as a major babe.

Well, lets just say time has not been kind to Nicole. There are some beauties that age gracefully (Stephanie Seymour, Cindy Crawford), but it seems Nicole had one too many hard nights out on the town.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you (yes, that’s her).
