Ryan Poles walks back onto the stage.
"With the 150th pick in the NFL draft..."
He stares off into the distance. His gaze comes across that of Jerry Jones, and their eyes meet. Poles looks down at a crumpled sticky note in his hand, then looks back up at Jones. Jones begins nodding maniacally and mouthing "Do it. Do it."
Poles takes a deep breath. "You know what? You know WHAT? Jerry Jones is RIGHT.
With the 150th pick in the NFL draft, the Chicago Bears select Jeffrey Gunter, DEFENSIVE END, Coastal Carolina.
Jones leaps to his feet, clapping furiously.
Poles throws down his sports coat. "EDGE" is a stupid made-up term, and I refuse to use it any more!!!! He's an END, baby. A defensive END. Don't you dare put him on that board as an EDGE, Roger Goodell. You mother****ing bitch. I'll end you as quickly and easily as my good friend Duncan Idaho ends a Sardaukar!
WHAT! WHAT!"
The sticky note falls out of his pocket. As he walks away, Gunter picks it up and sees, written there, "Defensive End. No matter what."
