draft days would be more fun for those of us involved if we could follow along with the picks and mock everyone -- nm - dogbert Aug 22, 08:52 25

        Um...k. -- nm - Jim Aug 22, 09:04 3
        
        Still never heard of him. -- nm - Jim Aug 22, 09:05 2
        
        He had a couple of sensational MNF games so he is probably getting overdrafted this year. -- nm - David Aug 22, 09:09 1

  - Redmond is having a solid draft. He's rapidly outgrowing the mocking. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 22, 08:58 2
    - I figure that given enough years with one of the top 4 picks, I should eventually stumble into a team that will win! -- nm - oblique Aug 22, 09:01 1
      - You would think, but then you trade all the good keepers to ML and let him pick 3 rounds before everyone else. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 22, 09:02
  - "that guy died 3 months ago" -- nm - Beaker Aug 22, 08:55 2
    - I will admit that I drafted a guy with a broken leg once if I remember right - oblique Aug 22, 09:00 1

      - Hell yeah! -- nm - Jim Aug 22, 08:54
It wasn't nerdy ... ok, it was extremely nerdy. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 08:47 1
- even nerdier is that I'm contemplating writing an alias for that -- nm - zork Aug 22, 09:10
