Sports mania!

Well, with the Avs missing the playoffs, the Nuggets getting bounced by the Spurs in five, and the routine mediocrity of the Rockies...

THANK GOD FOR THE NFL DRAFT!!!

Am I right, people?

So for Draft Saturday, a day when, surely, I had better things to be doing, I sat there in the bar at Dave and Buster's with John and his friend Drew, drank Coors Light, and pondered with wonderment the fascinating obsession with basically a nationally (poorly) televised, "pro" version of "picking teams" on an elementary school playground.

We stayed for the whole first round. Yes. The longest ever first round of the longest ever draft. We stumbled out of there almost 6 1/2 hours after sitting down. That, my friends, is dedication.

Or idiocy. Or a nice mix of both.

I have a number of lame excuses for staying the whole time... 1) we said we'd stay for the first round...I mean, you can't back out of something like that 2) our teams (Broncos and Panthers) both had trades that changed the draft order, and 3)...yeah, I don't have a three.

Regardless, we had fun. And Coors Light. Also, D&B's actually does have a cocktail drink called:

"The Schizzle"

I shit you not. Try it out. And forget what a nerd I am.
