i gotta start typing and i sure do dread it....

well i cant put it off any longer. ive been dreading it,
fighting it, worrying it to death and just generally
avoiding it as long as i can.
its been at least a month since i was real serious
about worrying about the beloved Boys.
sure i been keeping one eye on them.
i know we have let go of the last player who played with
a super bowl team here in dallas. (larry allen..duh).
i have already written here about the other departures from
last years team..although i forgot to mention laroi glover,
and that just shows i wasnt really thinking hard about the GOOD GUYS
because i always liked him as a player . im pretty sure we will miss
him at some point next year when we need a play made.
but this time of year i really like just enjoying the sunshine before
it gets so hot you cant breathe. sadly that only lasted till mid-april
when it broke the 100 degree mark twice here in the df&w metroplex.
i like catching a baseball game or two after working out in the yard.
i loved being in florida for 3 weeks.
i am already getting the boat ready so i can go scoot across some water
now that we finally got some rain and the lakes have water in them.
its just doesnt seem right to worry about football right now.
thats what i pay jerry jones and bill parcells to do..at least i guess
thats what those outrageous ticket and parking prices cover. im pretty
sure they make enough money off of alcohol and cokes and $6.00 hot dogs
to pay Drew and Julius and Terrell and everybody else their money.
but my hand is being forced..........
its in the newspaper, its on tv, its all over the world wide web.
its draft time. like this weekend. my vacation is over.
somehow or another i have to wade through about 4 gazillion predictions
from people who dont have a clue and figure out who i want the Boys
to draft. like i really know !!
i dont study college game films, i dont know what the "braintrust"
at Valley Ranch is thinking. i sure as heck dont understand salary cap
ramifications and all that stuff.
then when i figure out who i want us to choose i have to do some serious mind bending
and get my thoughts into the heads of those who actually make those decisions.
what really makes that hard is that im pretty sure i dont have that capability.
oh well..it ought to be fun to see , maybe we pick a linebacker, or an offensive
lineman or maybe a wide receiver. doesnt really matter though. as soon as we pick them
my mind goes into auto pilot and i like them. right then...before they even get their
star from bill at training camp.
oh well maybe the time off was good for me...i still have plenty of time to get into
full blown football craziness.
besides i gotta see if i can help the astros get back to the world series.
see ya after the draft so i can tell you how great all the guys we chose are !!
later..poke

Maybe you can't predict what the Boys are going to do on draft day but I can. They will trade their first round pick for somebody's second and third round picks, neither of which will be on the roster on opening day. Meanwhile, the player who was picked at Dallas's traded 18th spot will make the all rookie team, be a finalist for rookie MVP and make it to the pro bowl his first year.

okay mike...
so you actually wrote what
i was so afraid to even think about.
aren't you afraid that FOB (friends
of Bill ) will now hunt you down
and take away your computer ??

Yes, as a matter of fact, I am haunted by that very fear. I would, therefore, like to change my prediction. Jerry will trade the first round pick for a second and FOURTH round pick. I don't know what I was thinking when I said second and third.
