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.

Are you jealous that the Johntourage is not as big as AD's posse?
Maybe someone there will give you a hug to make it all better.
I already expect that Minnesota will be selected. All the players have a potential.
