"I thought I would hate it, but I actually found it riveting because people's lives were being affected by the result." A woman in my office talking about watching the NFL draft.

  1. Is that the game where they wear shoulder pads, grunt and throw a spiral ball around? I think I saw them play in-between this really good Madonna concert once...

  3. Poor Johnny Foosball should've stayed in school. My Brownies go through promising quarterbacks like those cartoon Charmin bears go through toilet paper.

    Keep your head up, kid.

  4. Boy, she must have a heck of time watching The Biggest Loser, then.

    @Cocoa, didn't she say she'd check in when she got Hiddles and Jax in the backseat of the rental car? My bag is packed and ready by the door.

  5. You need to tell me how this works. Do all these little teens sit in a room in front of the football bigwigs and they all put in bids for who they want? It's sort of like being picked last for the netball team at school.

  6. I'm glad the Cowboys passed on him. Serves him right for expecting to stay in Texas.

  7. Maybe this time will be different for The Browns. Mangini almost ruined the organization. I think he was the coach when they drafted Quinn?

  8. meant to say "Mangina"

  11. LOL Johnny Football!!! He looked dumfounded when the CowGirls passed on him.

    Jets took a safety, meh.

  12. The Cowgirls like to have the biggest O line in the league. Maziel is too short to play behind them.

  13. Patriots took a DE from Florida with two blown out knees. Once Brady retires and announces his foray into politics its OVA.

  14. Just heard from TTM - she landed safely, and is having one of our fine beers!

    ReplyDelete
  15. That's the first step to needing bail money.

  16. Did Hiddles stick around longer in anticipation of TTM's visit? He most likely reads CDAN and thought, "She's a beaut of a red head!"

    1. Aww, thank you, Dingle! I haven't seen the Hiddles yet, but I can see the Trumo Hotel from my hotel window...who's got binoculars??

  19. @TTM Holt Renfrew and Bloor Street in general is where you would most likely see him or any celeb. Or The Horseshoe Tavern---I met many celebs there including Drew Barrymore!

    1. For Johnny to have any shot at success in NFL he needed to go to a warm weather team. He is going get his ass kicked and, if he starts, will be injured halfway through the season.

  21. I never even knew there was a team called the Houston Texans until last night. That is how much I care about NFL.
