but hey...

if you guys want me to, once again, post some of your FAVORITE TEAM'S DRAFTS from 2009...I will. You guys want to see the Ravens draft again? The Packers? Who? The Bengals? The Jets?

I'll tell you right now the 2009 draft was brutal...and we came out of it with Matt Cassel, Tyson Jackson, Jake O'Connell and Ryan Succop...with a few other stiffs like Donald Washington (a mecca favorite) who will probably never pan out...

So...if Matt Cassel continues leading this team to wins and division titles and keeps taking giant steps forward like he has this season...

I hate to say it DUMB****S...but our 2009 draft would be categorized as EPIC WIN...

which, once again, would make you drafturbator fools look like total idiots...(but what's new?)

but hey! HAMAS WANTED MACLIN AT #3! YEP! MACLIN! WHO WOULD HAVE BEEN A BIGGER REACH THAN DHB AT #7! BUT WHAT AN EASY THING TO DO! CALL FOR A GUY WHO HAS ALREADY PLAYED A YEAR AND THEN TELL EVERYONE HOW GREAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IF WE TOOK HIM AT #3! YEAH HAMAS! JIMMY CLAUSEN AT #1 FOR LIFE! V! GHOLST! 4 LYFE!

Yup, our 2009 Draft is an epic win. You heard it here first.

You, who said earlier yesterday that you still weren't sold on Matt Cassel, now promote him as a franchise guy as well as one of the people who helped bring in a culture change, and GC is a flip-flopper?

GC is a flip-flopper, and you are lamenting me for liking Clausen (when you said he was better than Bradford) and Gholston (who you specifically mentioned you wanted to draft).

Maclin was projected higher than Heyward Bey at #7, and was routinely looked at as a top-15 pick. Hell, he was a much higher rated prospect than Tyson Jackson, and it turns out, he can actually play.

There's your daily dose of attention. Now sprinkle some parmesan on your fail.
