2007 NFL Mock Draft

NFL Draft

This weekend is perhaps the most important for the National Football League, the draft. Every team will look for their stars of the future in hopes of building a lasting dynasty.

For fun, I have created a scenario of what I think, and for some teams hope, will happen in the first of the seven rounds of the NFL Draft.

#4 Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Gaines Adams, DE, Clemson
#5 Arizona Cardinals – Joe Thomas, OT, Wisconsin
#6 Washington Redskins – Amobi Okoye, DT, Louisville
#7 Minnesota Vikings – Adrian Peterson, RB, Oklahoma
#8 Atlanta Falcons – LaRon Landry, S, Louisiana State
#9 Miami Dolphins – Levi Brown, OT, Penn State
#10 Houston Texans – Leon Hall, CB, Michigan
#11 San Francisco 49ers – Jamaal Anderson, DE, Arkansas
#12 Buffalo Bills – Patrick Willis, LB, Mississippi
#13 St. Louis Rams – Adam Carriker, DE, Nebraska
#14 Carolina Panthers – Greg Olsen, TE, Miami (FL)

#28 New England Patriots – Brandon Meriweather, S, Miami (FL)
#29 Baltimore Ravens – Ben Grubbs, OG, Auburn
#30 San Diego Chargers – Dwayne Bowe, WR, Louisiana State
#31 Chicago Bears – Dawyne Jarrett, WR, Southern California
#32 Indianapolis Colts – Jon Beason, LB, Miami (FL)

And so the Gears of War stop turning.

Epic released their not so epic update to Gears of War today, fixing many glitches and adding a new game type. Another thing they “fixed”, despite it being perfect, was the game’s roadie running system. Where once it was that you could run across the entire map without having to worry about getting stuck to something, now all you can do is run 5 feet with nothing but worry of getting stuck to something. They supposedly adjusted the roadie running system by “reducing frequency of accidentally grabbing cover while running” but it seems they did just the opposite.

I just finished playing Annex for nearly 3 hours and found that every time I tried running around the map I would do nothing but get stuck to something at the slightest movement. At one point Gears of War was good, now it’s a piece of crap. Good luck getting people to pay for your new maps now that you’ve made the game a huge steaming pile.

Burger King, haunting your dreams for the rest of your life.

Burger King, back when they released a series of Xbox(360) titles that outsold Gears of war, were holding contests to win a 360 gift pack. It seems they kept their word on the contest, leaving one 360 faithful(among a probably dozen or so) with a nice little package. One winner, named David(not Rodgriguez), obtained one of these prizes and was terrified by what he saw(at least I’d be). Sure, he got a brand new premium 360, 3 extra wireless controllers, 13 free months of XBL, a vision camera, a free faceplate, a wireless adapter for this 360, and a 50 dollar BK gift card, but he also got a horrifying item that would give even Chuck Norris AND Bruce Campbell nightmares.

He got this:
ZE GOGGLES! ZEY DO NOTHING!

Yes, a Burger KING mask. I’d probably burn the box right there and scrub off several layers of skin off in the shower.

BK is twisted

South Park > You

After watching last night’s episode of South Park, I have decided that South Park is one of the best shows on TV. Whether you agree or disagree does not matter. Anyone who has been watching the show this season or even the past two for that matter should be able to tell you that the show is amazing. If anyone has watched was of the much earlier episodes and thought that the show was not good, I beg you to try watching an episode from this season. If for some reason you do not like it, you can sell me out right here. I dare you.

South Park has new episodes every Wednesday on Comedy Central at 10:00 and 12:00.

Singing rabbits and crying babies.

I was watching Rat Race on Comedy Central, good movie, not the point. During a break they showed a commercial about a guy trading a singing rabbit for some skittles. I’m wondering to myself “WHY?!” I’m a child of the 80s, a decade when not much was normal either way, but I do remember when I was growing up that we did, at one point, have normal commercials. Now we have commercials that don’t even have to do the product itself. Singing Rabbits, Crying plastic babies(PS3 commercial), and a Fu-Manchu type character saying something I cannot remember at this time. WHY?!

Show a funny situation with your product. Kick someone in the nuts then pour Doritos on him, not that difficult. Forgo the prosthetics, and the animatronics. Just give us something to laugh at. something that looks really good, or even a hot chick using the product. We don’t need these inane commercials that barely make sense. Hell, I’ve even avoided eating at Quiznos for years because of those damn Spongemonkies commercials they used to run.

We don’t need crying babies and singing rabbits.

On Ben Stiller

When you speak of the quality of Ben Stiller’s work, never forget that he was in The Royal Tenenbaums. Forgive him for Meet the Parents, and Meet the Fockers, and even Along Came Polly. For The Royal Tenenbaums rocks everyone’s socks. Also, Dodgeball, and guest appearances in Arrested Development and Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny.
