drafty goodness

well, the nfl draft is over, and the fallout is raining down. the best news to come out of this is that randy moss got traded to the patriots: aka emily now has a reason to watch pats games! i love randy moss, he's not only super good but a real full-of-himself asshole. my type of guy. he's apparently concerned that he will never win a superbowl, which the raiders will not do for a long time. from the article: "The feeling is that the New England locker room includes enough acknowledged leaders and high-character guys that Moss will not pose a threat." toning down his behavior will not kill his game, but i'm still hoping for some crazy antics in boston by mr. moss.

in other nfl news, jamarcus russell got the first pick, beating out brady quinn as the hot new quarterback. this makes me ecstatic. besides his bizarre first name, russell was barely talked up before the draft, despite his amazing arm and great career at lsu. in fact, lsu did pretty well in the draft, getting four players picked in the first round. meanwhile, quinn got picked 22nd, which apparently really sucked for him. i really have no sympathy for bratty white quarterbacks who get hero designations at the age of 17. so despite his magazine covers and "the next tom brady" subtitle, he settled for the low side of the draft. ha.

and oh my god cards reliever josh hancock died in a car crash. this is the space i was going to reserve for mocking that particular team for scoring a single run against my awful awful team yesterday, but instead i'll not be tacky. so, uh, yeah, take care of yourselves chickball nation.
