Ok. Cool. New thread.
Atlanta trades up for Julio Jones?
WTF?
Fucen Pneumatic Fuck Wrench Tarmal
great trade if jones is a player, i hate cleveland getting that much, they might be awesone in 2017
Linkmeister
What’s the point of the draft? There’s no training camp, there’s likely no season.
Yet ESPN insists on promoting this ‘event” like crazy. Whistling past the graveyard, I calls it.

Hey look, we have a royal wedding too! The GOP and Big Oil. Featuring John Boehner in Elizabethan drag.
LOL

@Fucen Pneumatic Fuck Wrench Tarmal:
I make the trade if I’m Cleveland. No doubt.
And I hate Cleveland. It’s just what Steeler fans do.

I assumed Cole was getting in a nap now so he can stay up and watch his dream wedding.

@General Stuck: Not gonna quibble to much with the thought – but $300 billion?

@General Stuck:
Pretty low bar, Stuck.

@Suffern ACE:
bet it’s a typo, should likely be around 300 million, if I remember correctly.

Tremendous upside to Goodell getting booed.

@MikeJ: Not going to watch, but I think Kate Middleton is just stunning. Seems to really have her shit together and is confident and grounded.

She needs to eat a few more cheeseburgers.

As a lifelong Seattleite, THANK YOU TENNESSEE!
Seattle drafting Locker was my nightmare scenario. The guy will be holding a clipboard for the next 10yrs.

@khead:
but its been so long since cleveland mattered its hard to remember why we hate them, sorta like boy bands.
Comrade Luke
@khead: She seems to have lost a lot of weight post-engagement. I guess she’s thinking that since her wedding portrait will be seen by billions of people for all of eternity, she’d better nail it.
Also, too: she’s smokin’

Roger Gooddell getting booed to start the night has been the highlight so far.

Can’t argue with any of that.

Julio Jones comin to Atlanta!

i hated the way he pivoted into the moment of silence, and the crowd didn’t let him have it, as soon as the exploitation was over.

Hey, where’s the Obligatory Rugby Troll to talk about how football players are effeminate?
MikeJ
Gah. I was just trying to give Cole shit and the thread about something I care nothing about mutates into a thread about something else I care nothing about.
Please, if you must talk about football or weddings, try to work in some Cole abuse.

@John Cole: The prince of England is a catch, therefore, he can get a catch too. Two beautiful people marrying. Quite a storybook.

So, we going to believe the Pentagon saying they’ve got Manning out of solitary? And, while I’m at the Guardian, apparently there are now earthers as well as birthers as Superman nearly goes Unamerican.

I don’t get the title. They’re having the NFL draft at Cole’s house this year?

@cathyx: William’s not quite the looker that he used to be. He’s starting to look like Grandpa Prince Philip.

@MikeJ:
Eh. I got it out in the last thread. Now I am rooting the the Steelers to do something good or for the Skins to do something truly stupid – for the entertainment value of another 6-10 Resdskin season. Snyder is a douche.
See also, rooting against Cleveland above.
Martin
So, they’re drafting people onto teams that have locked out the guys that are being drafted?

@khead:
Barely worse than my team’s record, and the Seahawks went to the playoffs.
Shoemaker-Levy 9
@Comrade Luke:
Not on the Titans he won’t. And probably not if he had fallen to the Seahawks either, unless you think Jesus Whitehurst is the Saviour.
For those outside the greater Puget Sound area, Locker is similar to Newton in that he has both huge upside and huge question marks. I wasn’t looking for the Seahawks to draft him out of some misplaced hometown loyalty but neither would I have been disappointed had it happened.
Ponder just went to the Vikings. Here’s hoping the Seahawks don’t splurge on the sixth best QB in an overrated QB class.
Omnes Omnibus
I want Carimi for Green Bay.
Comrade Luke
Newton won the national championship. Locker got UW to…a winning record, and it took him all 4yrs to do it. For four years all we heard was how he was the second coming, and he did next to nothing.
He has no touch – NONE. I can’t wait until that guy throws it into the flat the first time so I can see the Pick-6. Of course, everyone in Seattle will blame the running back.
The whole reason people here would need an explanation of Jake Locker is because the don’t know who he is. And why is that? Because he hasn’t done shit.
stuckinred
Bear Down Chicago Bears!

Sorta OT: Again I ask, why don’t the players and the cities that pay for the stadia look for 32 new owners? I’m sure you could find plenty of people who would be willing to only take 50% of the monies for someone else’s talent.
stuckinred
Anyone get any news on the donations for Maggie? I’ve asked several times.
khead
@Comrade Luke:
The rest of the team sucked.
I’m not a Locker apologist (Top 10? I don’t think so. But I don’t think any of these QB’s are Top 10 material) but he’s all UW had for a while.

@jl: Either that or the wedding. It’s gotten awfully muddled in here.

@scav: Gotten, ha!

@Linkmeister: You think the appeals court is going to reverse the latest decision?
stuckinred
@Shoemaker-Levy 9: Newton couldn’t spell cat if you spotted him a C!
scav
@stuckinred: Well, a draft-pick of princesses is at least a little off-kilter from the usual lineup of invective and pets. The traditional hint of naked mopping came early.

@MikeJ: Big Ben and someone he didn’t rape?

Yeah, but I am local to DC and the Skins fans are solid entertainment on Steve Czaban’s show when it all goes to shit……
Good times…..

@John Cole:
Kate Middleton reminds me very much of a young Diana Rigg. Which is about as great a compliment as I can pay to a British gal.
grandpajohn
@Steeplejack: Yeah but these would be genuinely real tears not his usual drama tears
Steve
@John Cole: My best man went to college with the royal couple (I actually got married not far from campus). Not saying they were best pals or anything, but he saw enough of them to say that they’re both very decent people.
Anton Sirius
Also, the Lions have already won the draft.
Suh + Fairly = a line of broken opposition QBs stretching back to the horizon.
Linkmeister
@Ron: No, not necessarily, but I do think the owners are stupid and will drag this out as much as possible. I remember the NHL’s lost season and the 1995 baseball short season and lost World Series.

@John Cole:
royal wedding? we fought a damn revolution with french and spanish help to be rid of that monarchy.
our constitution bans titles of “nobility”
I’m sick of our news media covering this like a Palin preganacy with quads. I never want to be a “subject”
but that’s me, you’re welcome to ooh and ahh at the notion of royalty and divine right and stuff, like the rape of a newlywed female by british nobles under some doctrine called something like first night. the people getting hitched might be perfectly nice and I hope they do well… just like anyone else who gets hitched.
But fuck the whole damn concept of royalty
Omnes Omnibus
@Anton Sirius: As a Green Bay fan, I will admit that the Lions are going to be more of a threat than the Vikings and possibly the Bears (sorry, stuckinred), but I don’t think they won the draft off of one person.
Geoduck
@Comrade Luke: Dittoing Shoemaker-Levy. Saying Locker has no touch is an exaggeration; he has a wildly inconsistent touch. When all the cylinders are firing, he’s brilliant. When he falls apart, he really falls apart. It will be interesting to see how well he does in Tennessee, assuming he ever gets to play.
And blaming him for the Huskies’ recent woes.. ha. Every aspect of the team sucked, from the coaches all the way down, not just the quarterbacking.
Steve
@Anton Sirius: From your lips to God’s ear. Like all Lions fans I am terrified of success and wouldn’t know what to do with it.

So, John, what’s your opinion on taking Ironhead’s son?
Temporarily Max McGee (soon enough to be Andy K again)
@Anton Sirius:
Yeah, that’s a bit frightening. Hope the Packers stock up on some guards and a center. I like Derek Sherrod, but he’s definitely a tackle only.

@Cassidy:
HEY NOW! His team played in the Superbowl – all that stuff has to be forgotten & never mentioned again. Just ask Ray Lewis.

Well as an Bama grad stocked to see to Tide players go in the top ten (feel sorry for Marcell Dareus for going to the Bills but Julio Jones gets to drive just down the road to Atlanta) but Cam Newton went first (boo Auburn) but he is going to the Panthers – hahahahaha and the Nick Farley the other Auburn player gets to go to Detroit – hahaha.
As a Saints fan don’t know much about Cameron Jordan but hope he will do well.
FUNCKING BONUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bama player Mark Ingram went to the SAINTS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO It is a good Friday !!!!!!!!!!!
