THE MINNESOTA VIKINGS JUST SELECTED...

....a Notre Dame quarterback, but surprise:

It's JOE FREAKING THEISMANN!

What a bummer for Joe. He spends all those years attending NFL drafts and finally, finally, his Irish have a quarterback who's first-round material (the first since Rick Mirer) and Theismann's nowhere to be found.

You wanna know the bizarre stat: There are two Notre Dame quarterbacks currently playing in the NFL, but both are playing wide receiver: Carlyle Holliday and Jarious Jackson.

On TV Sal Paolantonio said a few minutes ago that the Bucs have Phil Simms on the roster. That's gonna be big news to Greg Gumbel.

Vikes pick.... ADRIAN PETERSON!!!!!!!

Wow. Wow. Wow.

I love AD...don't get me wrong. I saw AD in person as a true frosh against Oregon in 2004 and I was blowed away. Completely blowed away. if he's healthy, this is a fantastic pick.

AD in the TC! What's not to love?

Do you get the feeling, like me, that somewhere in South Bend right now there is a not insignifcantly sized human being who is anxiously shoveling pretzels down his gob.

AD's Suit: Classy. Gray with hints of powder blue and a blue tie. Dude has a sharp build.

Posse Count: Big, big posse. Ox-Bow Incident-sized posse. Nine.

Now I've go to go and comfort Laura Quinn-Medicine-Woman-Hawk.
