5/1/07--Sick as a dog...but still here for you--my public!!

Its all about dedication folks...out two days sick, but still trying to get to my computer and give you my latest thoughts.  I started catching this thing while I was up in Orlando watching the kids compete in a tae kwon do tournament.  We pay $65 admission fee, drive 200 miles...sit around approximately 12 hours...and Kellie fights a girl from her own school.

UGH.

That's one reason I hate tae kwon do.  And their instructors tell us that we should go to out of town tournaments so they can "meet different competitors".  Huh?

So my ND boy Brady Quinn dropped to #22 in the draft.  Why?  Hmm...a few things:
1) The Dolphins are morons.  Trust me....that's the #1 reason.
2) The teams after the Dolphins (cough, MORONS!) did not need a QB.  Hey, as much as I like Quinn...why would a team who has a young QB draft another one with their first pick?  The answer is...that of course they wouldn't...not win they have other needs.  Now, the exception to that is the Dallas Cowboys.  They have Tony Romo, who I wouldn't exactly call the 2nd coming of Roger Staubach just yet.  But they made the trade that enabled the Cleveland Browns to get back into the first round and draft Brady.  Some people are calling it a great trade for the Cowboys.  It certainly was.
Unless, that is.....that Brady turns out to be a Pro Bowl QB and Tony Romo ends up being the pretty much average QB that he's been so far.  Trust me, I'm a huge Vikings fan...love the fact that we got RB Adrian Peterson and all....but if Tarvarious Jackson doesn't end up being a really good QB in the next few years....and Brady Quinn is a Pro Bowler....then a lot of Vikings fans are going to want to know why.  Of course, if Brady Quinn ends up being a horrible QB, then all those teams that passed him did the right thing.

I've missed the last two days of work.....but I'm back at work tomorrow.  Well, at least for PART of the day....we'll see how I feel when I get there.

Later,
Jeff
