NFL Draft - Coming to a Party at Our House

SportsDude:

I get excited every year about this time because I am Kansas City Chiefs fan and therefore my motto is “there is always next year.” So on Saturday I decided to have a NFL draft day party. I have never had one of these before so I don’t know what to expect I have a feeling it’ll go a little something like this. About 10:00 I’ll be ready to watch the draft and nobody will have showed up yet because they are hungover and don’t realize that it starts soooo early. I’ll have the whole place fixed up, complete with another tv hooked up to my x-box for a madden tournament on the side. There will be a spread of food, chips, dip, beer, and more chips.

I will give you guys my top 10 picks barring there is no trading (but there will be)
1. JaMarcus Russell
2. Gaines Adams
3. Brady Quinn
4. Calvin Johnson
5. Joe Thomas
6. Amobi Okoye
7. LaRon Landry
8. Adrian Peterson
9. Levi Brown
10. Leon Hall

For the all important Chiefs pick at 22, I think it will be Aaron Ross out of Texas because with Chiefs dumping Dante’ they need someone to return kicks, plus they need….. well a lot of things but a corner would be a good idea. I think the Chiefs should just take the Chicago Bull’s draft theory. Draft the best player on either A. Duke, B. Kansas or C. a final four team. The Chiefs should take the best player from A. Texas, B. LSU or C. a BCS team.

Back to how I think the party will go. Everyone will show up about the time Adrain Peterson comes off the board. Then they will eat some food. The girls will gossip in the dining room but get distracted because that is where the Madden tournament will be. Right after the Chiefs pick I will propose to go play some flag football. This will be fun, then people will get tired and go inside. However, me and a few other people will stay outside and flag football will turn into tackle football and the day will end in a exhilarating trip to the hospital.

Saturday is the big day. No, not our wedding. The NFL draft – which to my fiancé is probably even bigger than our wedding day! To celebrate this momentous occasion, we are having a “Draft Day” party at our house. It starts at 11 and will include a mid-afternoon game of flag football.

We invited quite a few people – 10 have RSVPed and hard telling who will really show up. I have a feeling it’s going to be a dickfest. I can’t foresee too many girls coming other than me (and I don’t technically count as coming because I live there). Nonetheless, I think it will be fun. I am sure half the people – my fiancé included – will be drunk by noon. The other half might make it until one.

I’m sure there will be lots of bets placed on things like “If the Browns take Quinn, you have to grow a mustache; if they take Peterson, I have to run around the house naked. Those are the kind of things that guys like to do. There will be lots of trash talk as we all filled out a mock draft ballot and whoever wins will get to rub it in everyone else’s face. I’m sure there will be a couple of beer chugging contests. The football game won’t just be touch; someone’s going to let their testosterone get the best of them. And I’m sure in the midst of all this I’m just going to need a nap.

I have a strong feeling that the house will look like a tornado hit it after all is said and done but luckily my fiancé is awesome and will help me clean. I’m sure a couple things will be either broken or ruined but I’m pretty laid back so it will be okay. I’m sure at some point in the day an argument will break out, either over football or over just plain ignorance. But most of all I’m sure it will be a blast for all of us!

My best bets for the play “Who we can’t believe is still on the table”: I think it’s going to be Adrian Peterson. I just don’t foresee him going in the top 5 but I don’t think he’ll slip further than 10. Of course there’s always that chance that trades screw everything up so who knows! Wish my house luck in surviving this male-dominated party! I even bought a new shirt to party in style (Go Chiefs!)

And here are my guesses for the top 10 players drafted (and of course I tend to dominate and beat all the boys at game like this - i was the fantasy football runner-up but had the best record in the league - LT choked in the championship).

#1 Jamarcus Russell
#2 Gaine Adams
#3 Brady Quinn
#4 Calvin Johnson
#5 Joe Thomas
#6 Amobi Okoye
#7 Adrian Peterson
#8 LaRon Landry
#9 Levi Brown
#10 Leon Hall

Top 3 Bitchy Sitcom Wives and Stupid Husbands

SportsDude:
I’m new to this whole blogging thing plus I’m an engineer which means I’m better with numbers than I am with words but I thought this would be fun. My fiancé (Shopper Gal) have decided give our view points on random subjects. We write our blogs separately and then post them on the internet, so I have no idea who she put on her list. Things like parties we have attended, movies we watched, and the thing I’m really good at which is watching T.V. So without further ado I give you the top three bitchiest sitcom wives.

First I’d like to give some honorable mentions to wives that didn’t make the list. Vicky from “War at Home,” she isn’t so much bitchy as she is sneaky and tricky but she just threatens with bitchiness where as she is just bluffing. Sheryl from “According to Jim” due to her deceitfulness, but they are still able to show her caring and understanding side.


3. Jill from “Home Improvement”
Jill was always selfish and wanted things done her way and never understood why the Tool Man didn’t get it. Tim however, would say something dumb and making Jill even more pissed and then he would stir over it the next day and with some advice from Wilson that the Tool Man would eventually get ass backwards, Jill would admire him for trying. That doesn’t excuse her for flipping out on the Tool Man more than Brooke flipping out on…. Well everyone on the “Real World.”

2. Carrie from “King of Queens”
I am sure that Shopper Gal put Doug from this show as the dumbest husband but I actually think Carrie has “fun” side to her. Doug only gets the wrath of Carrie after he screws up but it is a bad one. You know those horror movies where the little girl opens her mouth and then loud screams and growls come out and it sounds like the end of the earth is coming. (If anybody knows what movie I’m talking about here let me know) I kind of think that when Carrie yells at Doug.

1. Deborah from “Everybody Loves Raymond”
There is no question that she is the bitchiest of all the sit-com wives because even in the episode where her and Ray went golfing together she had to be a bitch. I watch this show and think she is having her lady time every episode. It seems like they can’t make it through a day without her yelling at Ray. It is her own fault though, they live next door to Ray’s parents and Ray is to laid back to help her with anything. If I lived next door to all of this yelling I would be calling 911 for a domestic abuse, and I would tell them to make sure the husband is still alive because I think she is going to kill him. There is no doubt that her sour moments outweigh her sweet moments. So here is your award Deborah, your video clip should now be attached to the word bitch in the online dictionary.

Shopper Gal:
I’m supposed to pick the 3 stupidest sitcom husbands while my fiancé picks the 3 bitchiest sitcom wives. My dilemma is how do I possibly ever choose just 3 – aren’t they all pretty stupid? Most days I think the entire male married population probably fits into the category of stupid. Nonetheless I’m going to try. Bare with me as I work my way from 3, 2, 1.

3. Doug from King of Queens
How could he not make my list? He’s a short, chubby 30-something man that drives a delivery truck, watches tv, eats lots of food and comes up with ridiculous ideas. He’s the king of stupid.

2. Raymond from Everybody Loves Raymond
I love Ray Ramone but you have to admit he’s not the sharpest tool in the shed. He’s a sportswriter – every guy’s dream job and he plays golf in his free time. He doesn’t like to spend much time with his kids and he thinks his wife is useless since she’s a stay at home mom but has no idea the millions of thing she takes care of for him. Everybody Loves a Stupid Husband

1. Dave Gold from War at Home
I’m not sure how many people watch this show but it’s one of my fiancé and my favorite sitcoms as it follows a married man and wife and their struggles raising their dysfunctional family. Dave is hilarious but a total buffoon with a classic case on caveman syndrome (men are the king of the castle and must be extra manly). He likes to drink beer, watch sports and freak out about ridiculous things. He tops my war of stupid!

I’m sure I left someone out – how could I not? As I’m sitting here a dozen other sitcom husbands are running through my mind that should have been included but I only had room for three so these three are definitely my top choices!
