Alright, so this should be fun. I have a lot I'm gonna hit so feel free to just read what interests you. Won't hurt my feelings ;) But you should definitely read the bottom part, my views on the whole Dez Bryant, Prostitute Mother clip. Hold on to your butts.
Um......... NFL Draft!!!
Alright so I told you I didn't want the Skins to go after a WR, wanted them to dedicate a lot to O-Line depth and hoped as well as didn't believe that Albert Haynseworth would be traded. Evidently Mike Shanahan reads my blog because they followed it to a T. Except for the 4th in the 4th round(our second overall) where they took Perry Riley over the HUGE Maryland OT Bruce Campbell who I was shocked was even still available. I guess with our history with guys named Campbell, they just decided to steer a different direction. I just think this guy is maybe a little bit of a project but had a TREMENDOUS upside that could have paid off and given us even more depth on the O-Line. Honestly, I don't know anything about Riley except that I have mad love for any difender coming out of the SEC, Big 10, Texas or Oklahoma... and he's an LSU boy so he's cool by me.
Aside from that pick and the fact that I thought they were gonna go after Russel Okung out of OK State rather then Trent "Silverback" Williams from Oklahoma I was right on. I like Silverback...and that name, like really, does it get much better as a nickname than Silverback?? Anyway, he's seems to be quick and mobile enough for the zone blocking scheme that made Shanahan(aside from his 2 super bowl rings) famous. I don't really think he's a pure LT, but I'm gonna have to trust the guys who get paid to make those decisions... I mean the rest of the selections were a Tackle, a Center, a late round WR who won't see 50 passes over the next 3 years and arguably the best BLOCKING TE in the draft, Dennis Morris... And after watching a little highlight real(by the way I've never seen a blocking highlight real before today), I must say I really like this pick cause this dude LAYS OUT some D-Ends and Linebackers like its his life!
And NOW I have to root for the Patriots!?!?!?! Are you serious?? Why, you ask?? Because they draft 3, count em 3 Florida Gators!!! The first that was drafted was stud CB and Friendly High School/Fort Washington native Joe Haden to the Cleveland Browns at number 7. Great pickup. The next at 18 to the Steelers was Center Maurkice Pouncey( luckily his twin is still stabilizing the Florida line) and then it happened!!!! The Baltimore Ravens have traded picks with the Denver Broncos. The Broncos are now on the clock. Queue Tim Tebow and friends freaking out as he puts on a Broncos hat!! I was Gator Chompin all over my bar!! People say they moved up to early, gave up to much or whatev. but I think that's all relative. They wanted a guy, and didn't want anyone else getting him, so they made sure they got him. No questions asked. Anyway, so 9 total Gators got drafted, more than any other school. But the Patriots selected Jermaine Cunningham, Brandon Spikes and Aaron Hernandez all within the first 4 rounds. I guess winners like winners... No matter what, i thought the draft was awesome. being as avid a college fan as I am and seeing guys who were great still being available so late just shows the mass depth that is in the NFL and gets me totally stoked for September!
C-A-P-S CHOKE CHOKE CHOKE!!!
One of my favorite segments on SNL is Really with Seth Myers. So, I've included some video, that I just recorded strictly for this segment. No planning, possibly inaccurate facts thrown around but authentic, from the heart and off the cuff. Sorry if the sound/video sync is off. ill fix that one of these days.
PLAYOFF HOOPS!!
I freaking LOVE the Western Conference!!! I am Die-Hard Wizards fan, but the Western Conference is full of teams I can't root against! I just love em!!! Kevin Durant and Russel Westbrook from the Thunder are so much fun to watch! My pick to win it all was Dallas cause they just seemed to have all the right pieces and they still lost in 5 to the "old as dirt" spurs who I LOVE TOO!!!! It was agony to watch the Spurs-Dallas series cause I knew one of em had to lose, just like I feel the same with the Jazz-Nuggets series. Theyre just fun to watch, a lot of really great, exciting players! The Bucks are kind of the same way with Brandon Jennings, and we'll see how that goes for them. Don't like the Lakers... but I like them more than the Cavs... So... I just have never liked the BEST Teams!! I hated the Bulls, can't stand the Cowboys, Red Wings, Duke, Yankees!!! Yuck, makes me sick. Anyway, watch some of these playoffs, really good so far!
WAS YOUR MOTHER A PROSTITUTE?
Who the hell cares!?!? Why are people making a big deal about this series of questions?? And if you live in a hole, or you're my mother... not that she lives in a hole. She just doesn't know all the sports stuff, I guess. Anyway, Dez Bryant is an extremely athletically gifted Wide Receiver from OK State who in his Sophomore year was ruled academically ineligible to play in his team's bowl game. That means he didn't even get good enough grades in a college sports society where teachers are on the hook to help these players stay in school long enough to win all the big games and make the school tons of cash... Which they do. This year, he then after like 2 games or so, was found hanging out with Dieon Sanders and possibly a friend of Dieons who could be an agent. This is illegal by NCAA rules. There are a lot of rules that involve hands in the pockets of agents and boosters and the such limiting the financial pull of those individuals pull on those athletes. Needless to say, he put himself in a compromising position and then LIED to the NCAA investigators about the whole thing. This got him suspended from his entire Junior year of college and therefore he couldn't play anymore. So that brings us to the past couple of weeks. He is interviewing with the Miami Dolphins, as he did with many other teams about them possibly drafting him and then signing him to a very LARGE, possibly upwards of 40 MILLION dollar contract. Now if I am the Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland, I am going to ask whatever questions I need to ask to help protect my business and also make us as skilled as possible. In this very dangerous NFL culture we live in now where Mike Vick was killing dogs and Ben Rothlisberger is forcing himself upon women and Daunte Stallworth is hitting people with cars, Jeff Ireland wants to make sure he isn't putting his team in a compromising position. I would to!!! So here is how it apparently goes: Jeff Ireland(JI): Dez, what does you father do for a living? Dez Bryant (DB): My dad was a pimp. JI: Well what did your mother do? DB: She worked for my dad. JI: Was your mother a prostitute? DB: No.
ARE YOU SERIOUS??!?!?!? Like, do we need another episode of Really!?! With Sully! Cause I can make that happen. Who cares!?! First off, Jeff, if it goes the way you said it did... which by the way, Dez said it did not go. Anyway, lets test your reaction: My dad was a pimp. "What? Like as in sells the sexual acts of women to men?? Like that kind of pimp?? Or like a 50 cent or Jay Z(the rappers) Pimp which basically means women love you and think you're hella cool?" WHY WASN'T THAT YOUR NEXT QUESTION!?!?!? If you just let that first question go by the wayside like it means nothing than he might get offended when you ask him if his mother was a prostitute. WHY WOULD HE EVEN DELVE DEEPER?? Because when Dez Bryant goes to jail for domestic abuse(completely hypothetical scenario) you wanna know where that came from. And most men who abuse women and children, SHOCKER, were abused or witnessed abuse when they were younger!!! Does this surprise anyone?!?!? AND DEZ!!!! After answering "My dad was a pimp", why didn't you immediately follow it up with: "I grew up in a very broken home where not everything was by the book-Leave it to Beaver, and I despite that it's part of me, it's not a lifestyle that find any connection with with." Wouldn't that fix it also??????????? But now you wanna cry like a little girl "WHAAAAA, he asked me if my mother was a prostitute after I told him that my mother worked for my pimp father" REALLY!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!? So No!! I'm on Jeff Ireland's side, despite that it could have been done a little different, I think he took the high road and kept the series of question on a straight road and didn't deviate... But I definitely would have deviated!!
What am I listening to this week??

What's in my glass??? Gatorade!! Cause I'm sick!!! if you couldn't tell by my busted video. Ok, so I also REALLY enjoyed the Lures Beer Club visit from Stoudts Brewing Company. I had never had any of their beer before and REALLY loved them all!!! I was so excited we got to have some of the special, sold at the brewery only, limited to only 20 cases, bottles of their Brewer's reserve German IPA that tasted absolutely magnificent!!! I told yall to come!!! Stoudt's Karnival Kolsch would be my biggest recommendation.
Oh, and I just brewed an Imperial Blond Ale with some Rogue yeast, so we shall see how that turns out, I expect a lot out of that actually. Also did a quadruple hopped czech pilsener which isn't fermenting as fast as hoped, so we shall see. And 2 weeks ago bottled my Imperial Pale Ale... could be a sweet couple months.
MAY 16th at Lures, they will have 6 differant Northern California breweries!!! Sounds like fun, all you can eat and drink from 6-8 with tastings as well for 38.95!! Come join, let me know you'll be there and I'll save you a spot with us.
Until next week ;) - Sully
