AWAY WE GO...

12:10 p.m. Roger Goodell just announced that the draft is now open. So, I was wondering if they begin with the national anthem....after all, we do have an organist on call. But no. We just begin with a chant of Raiders Suck!"

By the way, I'm downstairs in the media food area about half an hour earlier and there's this absolutely, shall we say, attractive woman there. She's got light brown hair, almost blonde, and I do not recognize her. Who is that, I wonder?

Then my good friend, SI's Arash "I'm on the Guest List" Markazi , gives me a look. "That's Brady Quinn's sister." I look again. What do you know? It is. She's dyed her hair and lost the half-and-half Fiesta Bowl jersey. She's all cleans'd up. If I'm Suzy Kolber, I'm worried.

Hear me now and listen to me later: Laura Quinn-Medicine-Woman-Hawk will be a TV star and soon. Very soon. She's not gorgeous, she's Phyllis Georgeous!
