Four Months

Four months.

It seems like it was eons ago when the Colts and da Bears waited for Rex Grossman to failingly flail around Joe Robbie Stadium. It seems so long ago, it feels like we should be fast approaching another September: a time when ever fan says to all their friends, “This year, the [insert favorite team name here] are going to win it all.”

But alas, September is four months away. A third of a calendar year. What’s a fan to do? Voluntary mini-camps are hardly engaging, and an early off-season rich with big names headed to new towns has long since passed.

So here we rest, midway between seasons, with only one thing on our collective minds: the 2007 NFL draft.

Who’s the #1 pick? Who’ll get Calvin Johnson? Which QB is going to go first? Who’s [insert favorite team name here] going to pick? Who’s going to trade?

Over the past month and a half, these same types of questions have been asked and answered, and answered, and answered again, and then analyzed, and then reanalyzed, and finally second guessed, by the otherwise unemployed folks over at ESPN and the NFL Network. I’ve seen every possible permutation of how the first round could possibly go. I even saw a list of draft picks if—instead of drafting in the current order—teams drafted based on their teams total fantasy football points last year. When will all this ridiculousness end?

Saturday.

Have a great day watching, and I hope the [insert favorite team name here] draft the missing piece to their soon-to-be new-born dynasty.
