ESPN's newest hire to cover college football..........this is quite bizarre

[Mecca]

NICK LACHEY!!!!

According to Mike Huguenin of The Orlando Sentinel, Nick Lachey somehow might become even more visible. Wrote Huguenin: "We've heard a rumor that, frankly, we're not too happy about. It's that ESPN plans to use Nick Lachey - best-known, probably, for being Mr. Jessica Simpson - on some of its college football coverage this fall.

He'll last a few games and they'll figure it won't work.

Not to be outdone, Suzy Kolber picked the worst squad I've ever seen. She took Favre in the 2nd round, Kurt Warner in the 6th, and the Steelers defense in the 4th.

Lachey has "carnal knowledge" of Jessica Simpson. That's better than a lot of other "knowledge".

And while going thru the draft, he got a sweet dig in on Kellen Winslow II, was damn funny! I never got to see the whole roster results, but he was drafting pretty well.

I thought he did pretty well. We've all got our own rankings.

And my wife is a fantasy football junkie like me, and was pissed at Kolber. Said as the only female in that draft was shaming all of them. Kolber really was pathetic...
