It's Been A While...

Sorry I've been MIA. It's been busy. Quick little shout out to my college girlfriend Brooke Williams, who this past weekend got hitched! She looked stunning and the wedding was beautiful. The best man speech was one for the ages and all had a great time. The happy couple is off to Tahiti for their Honeymoon.. enjoy!

So in between the "I Do's" and crazy wedding festivities, I caught a nice size portion of the first round of the NFL Draft. In spite of what anyone feels personally towards the kid, you must've felt something for poor Brady Quinn. My heart went out to him as he sat there waiting for an eternity to hear Roger Goodell say just once, "With the ____ pick of the 2007 NFL Draft, the ______ select Brady Quinn." Only took him 21 times to finally say it.

The Texans made a fantastic choice with Amobi Okoye!! Take a moment to read up on his story. He's amazing, young, eager, and talented. Right before the Draft, I spoke with Mario Williams, number one pick of 2006. Of course I told him I'm a huge Texans fan and at first I think he thought I was kidding. Once he realized I was serious, he told me how they are really excited for next season with the addition of Matt Schaub. Baby steps my friend. We'll get there.

Other point of interest... the Patriots. It will be interesting to see how they come out at the end of next season. Bill Simmons had a really really funny article about what Bill Belichick must've been thinking when he took Randy Moss. Just have to wait and see if it actually pays off. Or if it creates an absolute disaster. I'm an optimist. But a little drama is always fun.

Miami. Ted Ginn Jr. What?

And as if there wasn't enough going on, a little baseball game was going down in the Bronx this past weekend. Red Sox vs. Yankees. Man, the Yankess are doing bad. Honestly, even if you hate them, baseball isn't half as fun when the Yanks aren't in contention. Admit it. So if you can pitch, contact Joe Torre. I'm considering volunteering my dad. He was really good in the 70's. He's a lefty. Why not? With the way things are going, the Yankees can't be that picky can they? Dad, start warming up.
