When the Patriots made their pick, the boos were so loud they drowned out the TV announcers and almost everything else. Have the New England Cheaters now officially overtaken the Cowboys as the team everyone else in the league hates? I know Cowboy hatred well, but for all the dirty play, drugs, and arrogance that has been a Dallas staple – they won doing it legit.
UPDATE: EA is putting Bret Favre on the cover of Madden ‘09. I know it’s a John Madden wankfest but come on.
My guess is that the crowd is heavy on Jets and Giants fans. And neither of those teams are big fans of the Belicheaters.
Favre is retiring, yes? So this way they get to avoid the curse this year.
Unless something awful happens to Bret.
Oliver,
What say you on Washington’s pick? I normally dog Washington for picking fairly well, but WASTING oodles of money on shit free agents(Randle El, Brandon Lloyd, etc….). Again this year was not that bad of a pick, but relying on the Auburn QB will be the death of your team.
Washington Redskins = L-O-S-E-R
We are going for 19 and 0 baby.
There is no way we’ll let Eli get out of a sure sack.
For the Redskins, I see the usual 5-11.
It’s Baseball season, people.

Skins went 9-7 last year, not bad not great but enough to make the playoffs. Also good enough for a win against the Giants. Jason Campbell played just fine last year.
Yes, the draft crowd is especially Jet heavy. I found out first hand when I went 2 yrs ago.
I’m pretty pleased with the Skins draft – getting what looks like 2 first round quality guys in the second round. I hope they pick up some defensive line help on day 2 or in free agency – no push up the middle was one of the team’s biggest liabilities last year. My big question this year is not the talent but the coaching. I have no idea what to expect from Zorn.
Colt Brennan’s going to tear up the Arena Football League
White Whale:
What’s wrong with Campbell? He didn’t have any receivers(Moss doesn’t count cause he was hurt a lot). They drafted two that according to guys like Kiper, could have been 1st rounders. Besides, you would think Zorn knows something about WR’s(Having thrown to the greatest WR of all time for a few years. Yeah, I mean Largent. Look at what the league was like most of the time Largent played. It was still a run first league. Also, look who was throwing Largent the ball. Zorn? Dave Krieg? Not exactly Joe Montana and Steve Young I’d say).
OW..cheaters?
18-1 last year, post “Man-gi-na-gate.”
You continue to mire in obscurity in the blogoshpre.
Why? It’s simple. Lack of talent.
