So.....with Chad Pennington on the shelf....
Imagine if the Miami Dolphins, in 2001, had listened to Dr. Z at Sports Illustrated, and took the man he suggested in the draft some eight years ago.
Think things might be different today?

Quick last-second draft thoughts......
1) To the Oakland Raiders----PLEASE do NOT take Darren McFadden. That's all we need; most of our $$$ tied up on two "rookies" as catalysts of the offense. We need to replace Warren Sapp. We need a defensive stud. And since it looks like Howie's boy can't make it two generations in Oakland, we'll welcome Ghoulston, but DEFINITELY would welcome Glenn Dorsey!!!!
2) To the New York Giants----get a linebacker and a DB. And, in round 7, grab a kicker to scare Lawrence Tynes!!!

A "Friday Fill-In" List!
From new blog find Becky68.....I blatantly ripped off this idea! :)
1. I’m looking forward to the NFL Draft.
2. Sanity is a place I always wanted to visit and haven’t made it there yet.
3. I’ve fallen in love with increased levels of serotonin.
4. Six of one, is worth two in the bush.
5. Addiction can be very alluring, unless it's cigarette smoke. GAG!
6. The way Rachel has developed an evil laugh like Dr. Phibes cracks me up!
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I watched hockey, tomorrow my plans include playing taxi for the kids and re-watching the Super Bowl, and Sunday, I want to go to work, but I STILL DO NOT HAVE A JOB!!!
Now, next Friday, you fill in the bold places on your blog!

Various thoughts....NFL Draft....United 93....RIP Tommy Newsom....
Haven't willingly not blogged (though a night or two I was just too tired to do much of anything), but we're back during another edition of "24".
I watched more of the NFL Draft this year than I have in many years. I am VERY happy with the JaMarcus Russell pick by my Raiders. I am EVEN HAPPIER that Randy Moss is gone! Considering his lack of production, we should consider ourselves grateful that we at least got a 4th round pick out of it! Now I will say this; hearing that Josh McCown is the "veteran" who will start in September doesn't give me much solace. I see Russell in by week seven.
Lots of talk (I suspect; I've not trolled the 'Net today about it), I suppose, about the Cleveland coup, saving Brady Quinn from continued frustration (great move by the Commissioner to move him out of the Green Room). A quarterback and a really, really big fisherman to protect him. I'm sorry, but I already LOVE Joe Thomas. Green room at Radio City Music Hall? Sorry, I'm gone fishin'!!!!
Giants did pretty well, too. I'm especially excited about grabbing Steve Smith of USC in round two. With Toomer coming off injury and Plaxico, well, Plaxico, it's good to have a young talent to groom. I just hope Eli can get the ball to him!!

I've gotten 2/3'rds through "United 93". When the family returned from WalMart Saturday evening I had to cut it off. It is definitely a "don't have the kids watch" movie. I overheard a co-worker today say he was impressed by the idea of the movie being viewed through the eyes of air traffic control and NORAD. I must agree.

Tonight Show fans: (I mean REAL Tonight Show fans...that means Johnny Carson, NOT Jay Leno....)
We mourn tonight, upon hearing the news of the loss of Tommy Newsom, the foil of many Carson antics, and a tremendous musician who rose to assistant director, which, when Doc was away, guaranteed Johnny even more joke material.
He passed away at age 78, in Portsmouth, Virginia (I didn't realize he settled around here...) and another piece of late night royalty has gone home.
I wonder which suit he's buried in?? That comment would make Newsom smile, BTW. :)
-------------------------------------------------------------
In closing...."24" is very, very good tonight--as the "international crisis" does continue with a new twist, and now, the exposing of Lisa, Jack's ultimate protection of Audrey, and, oh, by the way. Where did Chloe go? Soon I'm sure we will know.
And, YIKES, what a finish....Heller tells Jack to stay away from his daughter, then burns a hole into his psyche as he sits in holding. "You're cursed, Jack. Everything you touch ends up dead."
Great set-up episode as we close in on (ALREADY!!) the season finale, and the annual "24" season finale party on May 21!! Whoo hoo!!
