It’s Earth Day, you say? FUCK YOU, IT’S DRAFT DAY! YOU HEAR THAT?! IT’S DRAFT DAY!

Pardon the all caps, but could anything in sports possibly get overhyped and blown out of proportion more than the NFL Draft? I suppose the Super Bowl gets more hype but, c’mon, it’s the Super Bowl. It has the word Super in it.

The draft, all it is is a bunch of 20-year-olds walking up to the stage and posing with Roger Goodell for three days. Three days of this shit. Wow, catch the excitement. And I have hordes of friends who will be glued to their TVs. Why? All the draft is is speculation. So what if Sam Bradford is the #1 pick? That doesn’t mean he’ll be any good nor does it mean his team will be any better. Historically, the NFL Draft has been riddled with busts. Ryan Leaf and Tony Mandarich, anybody? Bueller?

Speaking of busts, I was looking for something to do this Saturday in lieu of watching THE FUCKING DRAFT!!! and I came upon The Grilled Cheese Invitational. It sounds like a great idea but here’s the catch: the $10 admission only gets you in. You still have to buy the sandwiches once you’re there. So basically, you’re paying ten bucks to stand in a long line with a bunch of assholes for a grilled cheese sandwich. No thanks.
