Thanks for Doing My Homework for Me!
The TalkingNFL intern was very impressed by our guests
Today I wanted to thank all of the guest writers who stopped by TalkingNFL last month and put together a draft preview for their beloved teams. They were fun, insightful, entertaining, and some of them were chock-full of sarcasm and biting hatred (which always makes for great reading)!
So a big Huzzah to the following:
- Tracey from Hot or Not Beauty
- Judge Smails from Lions-fans.com
- Todd Cantrell from Glorify the Past
- Dennis D from a town in MA that used to be famous for the billiards hall at it’s airport
- AA at Awful Announcing
- Josh Kirkendall from Cincy Jungle
As promised, we are giving a prize to the pupil who aced their assignment. This was an extremely tough decision for the TalkingNFL staff. We graded the previews in 12 separate categories, and brought them before a panel of PHD’s from Harvard to review. Then we said screw it, and picked a name out of a hat.
So it’s now my ‘honor’ to present to you the winner of the TalkingNFL 2007 Draft Preview Contest…
(drum roll)
The Honorable Judge Smails from Lions-fans.com!
(Click here for the Judge’s Detroit Lions Preview. Hopefully, he didn’t throw his TV out the window when the Lions picked Calvin Johnson.)
You! Yoooou! Congrats, Judge! Unfortunately I did not get budget approval for this contest, and Hilga up top is not for sale. So here’s your prize:
I picked it up free at a conference last week. It’s fun, bouncy, and feels squishy. Plus, you’ll get a slight contact high from the rubber fumes (although I strongly recommend washing your hands before & after using it…).
Thanks again to everyone who participated!
NFL Draft Preview, Contest, Worst - Prize - Ever

I guess I can understand why I didn’t get the top prize. I incorrectly stated that the Patriots had no flaws and were so stacked that they could waste the pick on an aging hottie’s mole. I was wrong, but I’m not unhappy about it. After this weekend, I can now state with 100% certainty that the Pats have no flaws. The Pats will finally end the annual celebration of the 71 Dolphin alumni (I’m too lazy to confirm the year, so don’t bother correcting me) as the Pats will join them as the only other team to go undefeated!
BTW, the town that once was famous because it had an airport with beer and billiards is one town over from me. My town is famous for just havnig one lone stop light located in the center of town. There ain’t much for me to do here besides reading your blog.

Weee! I am the big winner.
Actually, I was OK finally with the Calvin Johnson pick, it was the Drew Stanton pick that made me throw up in my mouth a little bit.
We left the house to hit the bar since the Wings, Pistons, and Tigers were on TV (and I was sick of flipping).
When they selected Drew Stanton, I literally had to be held in place and they cut off my whiskey and would only serve me Pabst. Those bastards.

For completely different reasons, I sympathize for both of you…
