Like a lot of NFL fanatics, I’ve always made it a point to watch the NFL Draft, and last night’s 2010 NFL Draft was no different.  Well, it was a little different, as for the first time in league history, the first round of the draft took place during prime time, and on a weeknight.  The first 32 players are gone, with the number one pick going to Oklahoma’s quarterback, Sam Bradford.  If you need a refresher, here’s the draft order and player bios.

Everyone knew Bradford was going first, but the real shocker of the draft was Denver trading up to get their hands on Florida quarterback Tim Tebow.   Denver traded away several draft picks for the rights to Tebow, who was expected to fall to somewhere in the later first or early second round, if he was lucky.  However, I figured someone would reach for him in the first round, just because he’s such an impressive physical specimen and he’s such a great person from a PR standpoint.

I didn’t think it’d be Denver, but I really shouldn’t be too surprised.  Josh McDaniels is a Belichick disciple, and Bill Belichick loves versatility.  Nobody in this draft has the offensive versatility of a Tim Tebow.  He’s big enough to play tight end or full back, fast enough to be a halfback, can throw the ball a mile, and has the intensity of a linebacker.  He could do anything coaches asked of him.  He’s like Pat White, but only if Pat White were built like a pickup truck.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
