The Packer Pundit

Thoughts and reminitions of the 2006 National Football League Draft

Saturday, April 29, 2006

• 02:00 AM -- 11:30 AM Well I had to work last evening. Not exactly how I wanted to celebrate Draftmas but... work is work and I could use the extra Key-aaash. My daughter (the Doctor) is getting married this summer and she wants to invite 300 guest... Ouch! I rested by working in my garden and listening for updates on ESPN radio. Lots of speculation about the Jets, 49ers and Packers moving up to get Reggie Bush. Smoke... just smoke.
  
• 12:00 Noon -- I sat down in my easy chair with a bologna sandwhich and red pop. (Bacholor here... duh). I've got both ESPN channels on but I'm keying on the Berman/Kiper one. (hey... don't eff with the classics... bad ju ju).
  
• 12:11 PM -- Live from New York... Tags approaches the podium for the last time... it's now official... the Houston Texans are on the clock.
  
• 12:18 PM -- It's Mario Williams (again... duh) the Saints are now on the clock
  
• 12:29 PM -- The Saints pick... dum dum dum... Reggie Bush. Jets fans are losing it... booing poor Reggie. Leinart gives him a hug back stage and Regg heads for the podium while placing the Saints hat on his head. The Titans are now on the clock.
  
• 12:36 PM -- The Titans pick Texas QB Vince Young... Jets are on the clock Wow this draft is moving
  
• 12:46 PM -- The Jets take D'Brickashaw Ferguson.... hmmmm... is it AJ Hawk or Vernon Davis or a Trade down??? America's true team is now on the clock! Now leave me alone... I'm gunna watch TV.
  
• 12:54 PM -- Sean Salsberry is interview William Henderson... sweet... Henderson is very articulate... a bit nervous but articlate. Henderson is saying the Pack will take Hawk even thought the papers are saying Davis. Henderson is now commenting on the Farve / Walker feud... Henderson is holding out for a kiss and make up truce... the sky is a sort of Muave in Henderson's world.
  
• 12:57 PM -- 3 minutes to go guys... s'up?
  Lets not pull a Mike Tice here!
  
• 12:58 PM -- Here it comes... Yessssssss... it's A. J. Hawk!!! Berman just declared him the "Safest pick in the draft" / Kiper is breaking down the film... wow he just sacked Vince Young. He looks like Darius Kasparaitis in a Football Jersey!

Oh... I'm enjoying this!!!

I downloaded this pic the other day... just in case!

Okay... ESPN is all over the 49ers drafting Davis... Bite me... they just let Hawk's TV face time go. Typical! (Then again... did you get a good look at his face???) Anywho... I'm going to upload this to the blog... then go see what the Pulse of the Packers (the Pack Forums) are saying about this pick... and then I'mma gunna go try to sleep!

Peace Out!
