I am no longer in fantasy football, I have more important things to do with my time now, but there was a time not long ago where I would watch this crap start to finish...but the recent incarnation of dragging this thing over 3 days and making the first round a fricken Miss America pagent would have sent me to the nut farm...
So, I didn't look at any of this crap until this morning online. No watching those cheer-clowns and self-appointed poohbahs of prognostication and their coterie of sycophants and jesters, no radio, no TV, none of it...just let me read the list.
First off, my home team, I have to say they got played pretty well but are receiving raves from the various peanut galleries and judging from the comments of my lesser intelligent (to put it mildly) co-workers that meme appears to be sticking...so I am even more convinced the local lads just got played. They miss out on the only decent QB prospect worthy of a first round selection (Bortles, went to Jacksonville) and then in a trade down one spot with Cleveland (who probably thought our guys thought we wanted a QB) picked the CB we should have taken with the pick and we take a LB, nothing against the LB form UCLA I am sure he'll do fine, but Minnie's corners are about as rotten as weeks old cabbage. Then, to add insult to injury, we trade into the bottom of the first round to take a QB who shouldn't be picked no earlier than the third round. Teddy Bridgewater, only scored a 20 on the Wunderlich Test (Manziel had a 32, Bortles a 28), had a horrible pro day (the day a prospect scripts out his own workout with his own people to showcase his talent for scouts), his play at Louisville was spotty, he can make a great throw and a completely retarded one and make the former look lucky and the latter look natural, and he gets to digest a Norv Turner playbook that returning players are groaning over its complexity which is 10 fold over the previous regimes scheme. So, they have a QB of average intelligence, spotty ability and they want to merge it with a complicated scheme in an offense that requires precision short and intermediate passing and deep-ball punch (which is where Manziel would excel if you can keep him in the pocket)...
I think what could possible go wrong will go wrong.
But hey, I no longer have a care one way or the other, I just thought I would highlight an example of the dysfunctional fairytale pageantry that is the modern NFL...
If Hopium was bottled, it is clear the NFL is passing it around liberally...
