Lowering the Boomer, NFL Draft style
This morning, despite our better judgment, we've committed to go blogging live while watching the NFL Draft, switching back and forth from ESPN and the NFL Network coverage, while attempting to go about our day's usual amount of stupid errands, food runs, bathroom breaks and any other diversions we hope come up in the process of killing a day.
Pregame at 8 a.m. Estimated finish, about 9 p.m. They don't train you for this kinda junk in journalism school. But then again, they shouldn't have to.
The first quiz we'll put up for you to consider:
When it comes time for Brady Quinn to have his name tossed around as a potential pick -- and that could come as early as 9:01 a.m. when the Raiders are on the clock and the guessing game begins -- what will Chris Berman's first non-clever reference be for the Notre Dame quarterback?
a) The Mighty Quinn (2-1 odds)
b) A Very Brady Quinn (3-1 odds)
c) Here's the story of a man named Brady Quinn (1-2 odds)
d) Dr. Quinn, Medicine Quarterback (5-1 odds)
e) Quinn the Eskimo (6-1 odds)
f) He's in a No-Quinn situation (4-1 odds)
g) Quinny The Pooh (8-1 odds)
h) Any other assinine reference (even money)
All bets are off after Quinn's been picked. We suspect he'll be sitting in that green room a long time of the Cleveland Browns don't make him the No. 3 overall pick.
