Weekend Wrap #61: NFL Draft Edition

April 26, 2009 in Mailbag

news_wrap.jpgI love the NFL Draft. I watch it start to finish every year and love to mentally critique if each pick was a good fit for that team’s needs, a reach or just a head scratcher. True to form, the Oakland Raiders never fail to disappoint in their questionable draft picks. Taking Darrius Heyward-Bey in the first round with the 7th overall pick had me, and everyone on TV, baffled. Projected as a late first rounder at best, Heyward-Bey was the first wide receiver taken while Michael Crabtree, Jeremy Maclin and Percy Harvin and other more proven receivers were still available. But one thing holds true, Al Davis loves guys with speed and since Heyward-Bey had the fastest 40 time at the combine, that got Al’s juices flowing. Further confusing the draft experts was the Raiders selection of Michael Mitchell. Here is a guy that was projected as a 7th rounder or even a guy that was consider a priority undrafted free agent. And the Raiders not only burned a 2nd round pick on this guy, they traded up to get to him. Seriously, if there is a Raiders fan out there, please explain to me after all these losing seasons and their continuing to make a mockery of being in the league, how hard is it to remain a fan and satay optimistic you have a shot at winning? Oh well, the Raiders are entertaining if anything and will continue to stink up the league as long as Al Davis has any influence on the team. Now on with this week’s links.

Mid-Week Eye Candy Wrapper #7: Amy Ried Edition

July 18, 2008 in Babes, Mailbag

So I have good news and bad news. First the good news. Apparently there are a few people out there that appreciated my effort of bringing a little SFW cheesecake to the blogosphere in the Tuesday T & A segment featuring Jesse Jane. The bad news? There were only a FEW people that commented that they liked it. So a big shout out (I hate that term “shout out” BTW) to Losers with Socks and Uncoached for linking to it and also to Jake from The Tailgate Blog for commenting on it. I still have until next Tuesday morning to decide if this is a worthwhile endeavor so make sure to voice your opinion via the comments box. Speaking of Hot POA, here is Amy Ried. Some of you experienced pervs may recognize her as the actress formerly known as Devin Valencia. Today she is Amy Ried and she is this week’s Mid-Week Eye Candy. Now on with the links…

July 5, 2008 in Mailbag

news_wrap.jpgWith the fourth of July on a Friday this year, hopefully the three-day weekend will help you with your hangover and you’ll actually be productive come Monday. Who am I kidding? You’ll probably be hungover on Monday too seeing how you’ll probably be out drinking and tailgating on Sunday. Good thing we found five hangover cures to try courtesy of On 205th. Enjoy the rest of your three day weekend because it is back to work for most of us on Monday. Here are some links regarding tailgating or just links that tailgaters might enjoy…
