T-minus...

Wow, Dressel drops Gary Mathews Jr... what does that say about the trade that was made a few days ago?

Well, at the risk of spilling my draft strategy... I'm taking Pennington in the first round, Barlow in the second, Coles in the third, Jets' DEF in the fourth and Mike Nugent in the fifth.

Hey,
I just clicked into yahoo football to check the draft time and it's currently showing it starts in one day, four hours and a couple of minutes.  That's 8:30 central, even though it says 8:30 Pacific.  What gives?

Refresh the page, sometimes that works.

It says 1 day, 4 hours and 47 minutes from now (locally it is 5:43) so that would add up to 10:30 for me, CST.

I've only got one, but my girlfriend has a handful... I know a lot of people hate it but I like it when girls have them, particularly on arms and collarbones and that kind of thing and I think they look better on women when they're color tattoos ... but only if it's done right.  There's a fine line between art and WT.  I like them on women a lot, but if it's a single tattoo it should fit the space.... wrist, back of the neck... something like that.  IMO.  I personally don't like the way it looks to have one haphazardly thrown on the back or bicep or something like that.

I'd love to get both of my arms completely covered but it won't happen any time soon (probably never)... lack of money for that kind of thing.  I'm also lacking an idea of something that big that I'd be happy with for the rest of my life...

My advice to anyone (and you sound like you're ahead of the game on this) is just make sure that you don't go into a shop and pick a butterfly or something off of the wall...  if you know any artists have them draw something up for you, or come up with an idea of something that's personal or important or means something to you and have someone design it.  Also, ask around for who's good - lots of tattoo artists are very good, and most of them are just tracing stencils for the most part, but the right artist can make a regular tattoo something special.  Just my two cents.

Draft is tomorrow, last chance to make any meaningful objections to any of our league settings!

Should we PM people who aren't necessarily checking in here?   

Someone will give him a chance, but he won't get the kind of contract that he wants (i.e. it will have a milliion behavioral and incentive clauses and an invisible signing bonus).  So, if he does retire, it will be because he doesn't want to take a lower value contract.

Yep.  There was a point where part of me wanted the Bucs to sign him because of the numbers he puts up - but watching the media circus here in Dallas, I'm 100% thankful that he's not on my favorite team, and I'm willing to bet that almost anyone who's favorite team isn't the cowboys agrees.

The guy just isn't worth it.  I'd rather have 5 Keyshawns on my team than one T.O.
