The headline read, "President Vladimir V. Putin greeted by servicemen in Moscow."
Umm....those are middle aged veterans from past wars, right? 'Cause if they're current active duty servicemen they might want to consider upping their physical training juuuuust a bit and going with a low-cal diet in the chow hall.

Johnny Manziel, college football's golden boy the past 2 years, fell on his face yesterday in the NFL draft. It was felt by many, certainly in his own inflated head, that he would be one of the top few picks, and certainly the first QB chosen. "Johnny Football" was pick #22....by the Cleveland Browns. Ouch! The talent was there, for sure. I wonder if teams passed over him because of his lack of towering height or the controversy that seems to surround him?
Take note future gridiron heroes: Your talent will obviously be noticed. So will your big mouth. Do yourself a favor....zip it.
Now I'll zip mine. Have a great weekend everyone. :)

He is a rare talent, but will it translate in the NFL which is a different game than college? I think it will, but it is clearly a gamble many teams were not willing to make. I'd have picked Clowney first regardless of my needs and would have been afraid to risk a high pick on Johnny F-ball even though I think he will be special.
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling that Johnny Football will be a bust, but now that he's in Cleveland I'm sort of rooting for him. Browns fans have suffered enough, the last thing they need is another Ryan Leaf.
ReplyDeleteI think like with Tebow most teams are too lazy to rejigger their whole offense around a running quarterback. But really the Texans should have taken him because there's not likely to be any superstars in this draft but at least he'd put butts in seats for a short time. As for Clowney, he's lived off that one hit against MIchigan for more than a year. You'd think they'd have learned after Mario Williams, but I guess it's not like there were a lot of other great options.

ReplyDeleteI've noticed that, too... I had a co-worker once who was totally broke, lost her car due to her inability to make the payments, fell behind in her mortgage payments, constantly had to go to the doctor because of health problems (asthma!), but still smoked. Go figure.
Blah blah blah football blah blah blah... :) Of course, if the Braves continue to stink it up I might have to start caring about football. Ha!
ReplyDeleteI laughed until it hurt on your military fitness comment.
