Thoughts along the way

So you think your new neighbor sucks?

If, more like when, the Sacramento Kings head south down interstate 5 to Anaheim before the start of the next NBA season their move will cost Dr. Jerry Buss (owner of the Los Angeles Lakers) $250 million in TV revenue. A clause in the Lakers’ TV contract stipulates that if a third team moves into the southern California market they have to forfeit that money.

And you thought your neighbor was bringing down your property value!

Does having longer hair brings out one's sensitive side?

How and why is Tom Brady still crying over being picked 199^th in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL draft years ago? In an upcoming TV show called “The Brady Six” a show which will breakdown the six quarterbacks that were drafted before Brady, Brady is interviewed and starts to cry over the frustration he and his family felt while waiting to be drafted. Scouts and his agent said he was a lock to be drafted in the second or third round. So when his name wasn’t called during day one or the start of day two, they started to panic.

Just to clarify, I can understand the frustration, nervousness, and disappointment he and his family must have been going through at that time. He waited his turn to be a starting QB at the University of Michigan, not starting until his senior year. He didn’t have a lot of time to show his ability nor grow as a quarterback for NFL scouts to see leading up to the draft. That would make me nervous as well. But from the outside looking in, I would think a lot of those wounds would’ve healed by now. The only thing he could really be upset about now is that the New England Patriots did not draft him sooner. Had he been drafted by any other team, there is no telling how his career and life would’ve turned out. He can thank Drew Bledsoe, the previous starting quarterback for the Patriots, for getting injured as well. No telling how his career would've turned out had that not happened as well.

I guess this goes to show that one can win three Super Bowls, be named league MVP twice, hold NFL single season passing records, have your name bantered around with the greatest NFL players of all time, be a future first ballot lock for the Hall of Fame, earn millions of dollars, have a super model wife, and still life sucks because we weren’t drafted in the first couple of rounds of the 2000 NFL draft??? Nah, I don’t believe that. Please stop pissing and moaning about a trivial situation from years ago. If that is as bad as your life really is, you should count your lucky stars.

I’m waiting for him to break out a guitar during an upcoming interview. “I’d like to play a melancholy ballad I wrote. It’s about the pain and suffering of being a 6^th round draft pick and having a super model wife.”
