Well it’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything, and I was ready to post something last week until the Francouer trade went through and I went into a deep depression that I’m only now coming out of. While the public treatment of Minaya as a GM infuriates Pat, it’s slightly different for me [...]


Just wanted to get in a couple thoughts while I’ve got a few minutes left of free internet. First of all, in Germany, the letters on the keyboard are exactly the same, except the z and the y are switched. That’s more annoying than having the dentist floss you! (for all the Reilly lovers) Thought [...]


So I’m leaving tomorrow for a 7 week trip to Europe. Obviously, I’m very excited about it, but I will say that this is a very loaded part of the sports year, and there are a lot of things I’m going to miss. So here’s my list of the events I’ll miss most, and a [...]


Pat: 14 points, 3 out of 4 2nd round series right. Bo: 10 points, 2 out of 4 2nr round series right. Pat pulled farther ahead thanks to the Magic finally taking out the Celtics. Unfortunately,  we have the exact same picks for this round, so the deciding factor will be who wins the Cavs-Lakers [...]

Pat – 8 points, got 6 of the 8 series right, and nailed the Hawks in 7. Bo – 6 points, got 4 of the 8 series right, nailed Lakers in 5.  We both have the Lakers and Cavs advancing, and both lost the Hornets, so the only head-to-head matchup is the Celtics and Magic. [...]


First, in response to the ongoing argument about how we should be building our cards. I’m not disputing that I would have drafted differently if I was trying to sell the most tickets and PPV shares. Like Pat said, the vast majority of wrestling fans are trailer-trash loser morons who just want to see people [...]


My Wrestlemania is for real wrestling fans, yours is for the fringe ones. I think most real fans of wrestling would rather watch a Kurt Angle v. Edge match than a Hulk Hogan v. Randy Orton match. It’s personal preference, and I’m creating the card I’d most want to watch, and one that I think [...]


Hogan

I’m not disputing the guy’s popularity or mic skills. My point is simply that for this exercise, my whole purpose was to build the Wrestlemania that I would most enjoy watching. If we were trying to sell the most tickets, I would have had Hogan near the top, but I’m trying to create the best [...]


Well then…

I’d consider Hulk Hogan to be Tim Couch, except Couch is probably a better wrestler.


Since there’s exactly 100 picks in the first three rounds, I’m going to 100 just to have it on record. Enjoy.  51. Jasper Brinkley 52. Cornelius Ingram 53. Paul Kruger 54. Sean Smith 55. James Casey 56. Duke Robinson 57. Chip Vaughn 58. Brandon Tate 59. Nate Davis 60. Brian Robiskie 61. Clin Sintim 62. [...]


26. Connor Barwin 27. Robert Ayers 28. Alphonso Smith – If he goes to a team that has one shutdown corner, I think ‘Phonz can be a great second corner. His ball skills and instincts are great, and he’s actually a good tackler for a Corner. If I weren’t afraid I was overrating him because [...]


1. Aaron Curry – I don’t really believe that AC is worthy of a No. 1 overall pick, but I don’t think any of the players in this draft are worthy of that. It’s been said a bunch of times this year, but this is really not the year to be in the top 10. [...]


It’s time for the next Parents’ Basement project – The Ultimate Wrestlemania Challenge. Pat and I will both be attempting to create our dream Wrestlemania cards, using the wrestlers that we drafted head-to-head. First, the rules. Only wrestlers who actually participated in a Wrestlemania are eligible (no Sting). We’re both limited to 10 matches, only [...]


So we’ve been a little lax in providing our thoughts on one of our favorite events of the year – the NFL Draft. Pat and I have been Draftniks since birth, and are very much looking forward to this weekend. Perhaps more importantly, we also created the best NFL Draft drinking game of all time. [...]
