Don't Make a Mockery of Me!

Out of curiosity I checked out the updated mock drafts from some of the most popular draft sites and I found something completely bizarre. I swear I am posting this exactly in order as I browsed on firefox. These are the Miami Dolphins first pick at #25 in each mock. They have all been updated within 72 hours.
  1. Walterfootball - Duke Robinson
  2. NFLdraftsite - Alphonso Smith
  3. NFLdraftdog - Larry English
  4. Draftking - Percy Harvin
  5. scout.com - Clint Sintim
  6. NFLdraftblitz - James Laurinitis
  7. fftoolbox - Louis Delmas
  8. fftoolbox(2) - Victor Harris
  9. Draftcountdown - Brian Cushing
  10. NFLdraftexperts - DJ Moore
  11. drafttek - Sean Smith
Isn't it odd that I went to eleven mock drafts in a row without ANY repetition of names? 5 Linebackers, 4 defensive backs, and one offensive lineman. For the record, on the 12th attempt, it was Brian Cushion Chest again.

Check out the BRAND NEW poll!

previous poll result - How long will Bill Parcells stay with the dolphins? 3 years - 45%, 2 years - 17%, 1 year - 28%, Until training camp - 1%, 3 weeks tops - 3%.

  1. I believe it should be "Isn't it odd that I went to eleven mock drafts"

    instead of "Isn't it odd that I went eleven mock drafts"

  2. Tin, Our wives could do a better job on some of these mocks in January. They should make a little more sense after the combine.

  3. I'm ashamed that I don't know a couple of these names although I tend to fuckoff at work as much as any of you. Tell me they're all better than Eddie Moore and healthier than Yatil Green

  4. Walker, are you serious? They are all 1st/2nd round talent. I suppose sometimes the DBs fly under the radar until the combine.

    Kent, while I can guarantee that MY wife couldn't, maybe yours could, lol. It's true that it is early and things change, but if we all just waited until the end to see how it works out, then a lot of reality shows would get no viewers, and no one would really ever do anything spontaneous. The anticipation and hype is part of the entertainment value, and if we didn't speculate a bit, we'd sit around for 3 months with no football. And that thought makes me sad ;).

  5. Walker, Eddie Moore was a health issue like Yatil Greene. We drafted him after he had his shoulder reconstructed and he broke his leg in his rookie season that probably still has pins in it. Billy Milner, Eric Kumerow, etc. now those were guys who were healthy and couldn't play. When they where drafted, I was pulling out my magazines to find out who? what? when? where??

  6. ffr, no one's telling you not to post on Omar's blog. Don't get offended if I've had enough of the Super Bowl week and prefer to talk about something different than what the sun-sentinel dictates. Plus, I'm perfectly capable of multi-tasking.

  7. "I believe it should be "Isn't it odd that I went to eleven mock drafts"

    HA! Touche!

    Meh...that was anticlimatic.

    I for the record will NOT vote in your poll until you add Cushing to the list...(oops! Did I give away my vote?)

    I (predictably) disagree with FFR Tin, If you've got the time to do this stuff, I'll read it. Cheers

  8. I can't believe this imposter actually took the time to register a profile as finfanrob. He is also posting on the Herald blog:

    "mando, thanks to mr. bungle i am having trouble sitting

  9. Jahndoh, I'm pretty sure Cushing was in the first poll....

  10. I had figured out a bit ago that this wasn't the regular ffr. I started to say normal, but that didn't seem right either.LOL

    Anyway, I asked you about it at the end of Texas v the nation, hoping you would see it before he did, but apparently he saw it first.

    I'm just glad to know I've still got my powers of perception!!

  15. Whoa Tin, it's pretty pathetic that there is such a loser who has the time to come here and act like a child. Hopefully it is a child because if it's an adult, whew...

  16. Bungle,
    I think it may be an embryo - even a child wouldn't be amused by that kind of behaviour? Or maybe it was born without a d*ck and wants to get back at the world? When there is so much good in life, I feel so very sorry for any"thing" that can't share in that and just looks to be a neagtive force. You know the saddest thing of all though - it probably thinks it's clever? What a wate of oxygen.

  17. uk, I can imagine what the little troll looks like. The character 'Milton' from Office Space comes to mind. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  18. Bungle,
    I've never seen Office Space, but I googled it and I have to say that guy looks much more handsome than my mental image. I have Gollum in mind .... but with a little less hair? ;)

    ReplyDelete
  19. uk, not in the movie. Milton is overweight with a red, swollen, pitted zit face with crossed eyes and magnifying glasses who mumbles to himself. LOL

  20. Anybody else see the Dolphins segment they aired around 12:00 during the superbowl coverage, pretty cool. Some of the clips I had only seen in person without the cool camera angles. They weren't derogatory or anything (which surprised me), and they focused on our stomping of the jets (big bonus)

    Who are you guys going for. I got $100 on the steelers otherwise I usually go for the underdog in the superbowl

  21. Hey imposter, if you used the same screen name all the time it would be easier for us to fling insults at each other. Something tells me you were one of the trolls from the Herald (you know their is a reason all of us SS guys don't go to the Herald, its because of people like you, your really annoying).
    So you got board with the filth Suckguero posts as an article and the people with 5th grade educations you post with. You said "let me check out the SS". You were amazed "holy shit these people have real conversations, I'd like to be a part of their community". So you posted something under a real screen name, and we made fun of you for how dumb it was (partly not your fault its hard to over come a learning disability). You were mad, it took you back to highschool where you had no friends, and people made fun of you all the time, and you never got laid. "why are they so mean to me" you thought. So you resorted to what you did back then "if they won't be friends with me I'll just fuck with them" except this time it isn't with imaginary friends in your "fort". Its with imaginary text on the internet.
    But don't worry, you'll always have friends at your parents house in your "fort"

  23. I don't see how you being sterile has anything to do with this blog.

  24. Tinshaker:
    Last night I saw the "Road to the Draft" blurbs on NFL network with Brian Cushing. He had his shirt on, but he looked a bit more "normal" than some of the still photos of him suggest. Certainly not anything to suggest he would be entering a wet T shirt contest anytime soon. I'm assuming you saw it, so what do you think?

  25. Herdfan, I saw the end of it, or maybe it was another segment, in any case I couldn't help but reiterate my original thought that this guy looks completely different everytime they show him. Even in the one piece, they showed him from the front and he looked ripped and tight-faced, and then the showed him slightly from the side and he looked pudgy and boyish. I'm convinced he's a shape shifter and switches back and forth between genders. Thats why he can look soft and 'curvaceous' one minute, and like the Hulk the next.

  26. Eric's boyfriend finally got up the courage to leave him so he's pissed at the world.

  27. herdfan, I saw a part of that and couldn't help but notice again that Cushing looks completely different in every video/photo. Even in the same piece, when they showed him full face he looked chiseled and bulked up, but when he was quarter face he looked several years younger, chubby faced and boyish. I think he might be a shape/gender-shifter, and that's why sometimes he looks like a chick and sometimes he looks like the Hulk.
