Phantom of The Draft
With 90 minutes to go before the start of the 2008 draft, the soundtrack has started. The booming organ music is basically the best of NFL Films - Drunken Sailor and that "dunt dahdadiddyduntdihdigdahdahhhh" AKA the Raiders tune (I think).
A few other sights and sounds since I got here.
* On every team table there is a jar of M&Ms with shells in team colors. I personally like the Bucs colors.
* Just talked with Brian Billick who's going to be doing a full slate of games in a two-man booth for Fox in the fall. He's on the set for the NFL Network today.
* Asked Gene Upshaw how things have progressed since the Matt Stover Coup Attempt came to light a few weeks back. The NFLPA head said, "He's a kicker. If it was Ray Lewis, I might have been more concerned..." Ouch, doctor. Not sure how that's going to play with the rank&file special teamers.
* Now we have New York State of Mind piped in on the organ.

A good name for the last three holes at TPC.
They should be played the way James Bond would. "Live and Get Dye". Just a thought.
