I am absolutely crushed now.
I went to a meeting that I thought was scheduled for tonight only to find out that it is NEXT THURSDAY EVENING.

It was bad enough that I am going to lose Saturday morning to a different meeting and then the afternoon to a 80 year old's birthday party. But to lose the first round is unbelievable.

What REALLY stinks is, in the past 15 months, there is usually 1 maybe two issues on the table and we are done in a half hour maybe a full hour if we really stretch it out. Next Thursday there will be 7 issues on the agenda and the last one is a fight between two municipalities over a couple of tracks of land. A bunch of the people from the area in question will want to testify and this thing will drag on about as long as the first round. Boy does this tick me off. But hey, I will make a whole $40 for serving on behalf of the county taxpayers. :physassult:
I quit.

nice. He will have to trade up all those 4-7 picks as well. Maybe he can get 5-6 2nd and 3rd round picks. I like it. :tongue3:

Pfft. That's nothing.

At least you didn't mistake your parents' anniversary celebration for being a day later than it actually was.

You got away only being dejected. Poor AADP on the other hand went dressed up, mingled with people at the dining hall I swore I had never ever seen before, eventually asking the waitress where the guests of the hour Mr. X and Ms. Y (my parents) were, only to be told "Sir, their party was yesterday."

I have never been so humiliated and embarrassed, ever.

Actually was en-route to Toronto the day before, so no means of communicating directly with them. Ever since that day, got myself a cell-phone. And a day-planner. Dishing out money to get a monthly plan seemed a lot more worthwhile after that. And dad getting pretty mad at my lack of organization was a pretty good motivator too.

It really was very moronic. When family friends and extended family found out, that was the worst. Repeatedly hearing "and YOU want to get into Harvard Law?" got old real fast. Having one incident (albeit, pretty stupid one) define your character is the worst.

I once went to a church fundraiser one night after coming home and discovering the announcement on my table. Hurried through supper, etc. Dashed up even though I knew I'd be a bit late.

Only to discover the church locked.

Came home and discovered ... that it was an announcement from the prior year.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

As long my schedule holds up, I'll be blogging all three days on just about every single pick so in away the new format will benefit me. I did it last year and it was kinda tiring so the break between picks is welcomed, but there is just something about draft day weekend. Get up and get a early breakfast and before you know it, your team is on the clock. Draft day Thursday and Friday evening is just stupid.

Sorry P_F, you're gonna have to clarify what exactly dicktiger is. I highly doubt it's implies a literal meaning (AADP has hopelessly dirty mind :face1: )

Apparently he thinks he can box... interesting gent to nab the name from though. Knocked down "The Hurricane" a couple times. ;)

It's probably the manliest name I've ever heard, the boxer Dick Tiger. He was a great boxer in his time. As to why I'm him, I sometimes switch my name in the game day chat to dicktiger, just to mess with Zero (because he dislikes people changing their names in the chat.

I just can't believe my feak'n luck.
First I lose Th nite to a stupid board meeting.
THEN I lose Saturday to a birthday party for an 80 year old. (Granted I have called him "Paw" and he calls me "Son" for about 20 years but that is not the point.

NOW I just lost Friday nite to my son's GF. She is in a play in Chicago.
:signarg:
I can't believe I lost the whole darn draft in less than 2 weeks time.
My son use to (and still does) use words he picked up while in the Army at times like this. I need to borrow some of my son's "Army words" but I just can't. :cussing: :microwave:

It is easy to read about the picks afterward. It is a lot of fun to do the instant chat while we wait for the selection and then to bemoan the picks after.

Sorry, wpr. That sucks. Watching the draft with the Packershome guys is usually really fun.

Mucky Tundra (3h) : I really hope they stand pat and Draft a WR

Mucky Tundra (3h) : @DMRussini

Mucky Tundra (3h) : The Chicago Bears are very open for business at 9 and telling teams they are ready to move for the right price, per source

Mucky Tundra (24-Apr) : Now look, trading up to 13 to take a TE might not seem like a good idea later but it will be later!

dfosterf (24-Apr) : (Your trade up mock post)

dfosterf (24-Apr) : Mucky- The only thing fun to watch would be me flipping the f out if Gute goes up to 13 and grabs Brock Bowers, lol

beast (24-Apr) : DT Byron Murphy II, Texas... whom some believe is the next Aaron Donald (or the closest thing to Donald)

Martha Careful (23-Apr) : IMHO, not even close. He is not a guy you game play around.

Mucky Tundra (23-Apr) : is Aiyuk worth a 1st rounder?

Zero2Cool (23-Apr) : 49ers are seeking a 1st round pick in exchange for WR Brandon Aiyuk

beast (21-Apr) : Sometimes looking extremely amazing, sometimes looking extremely lost

beast (21-Apr) : I haven't looked into the QBs, but some have suggested Maye has some of the most extremely inconsistent tape they've seen

beast (21-Apr) : Well it also sounds like Patriots are listening to trade offers, not that seriously considering any, but listening means they aren't locked

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Maye needs to be AFC

Mucky Tundra (21-Apr) : Not liking the idea of the Vikings getting Maye

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Vikings HC joked that he may or may not have sent flowers to Bob Kraft. That's where rumor came from.

beast (21-Apr) : Can't tell if this is real or BS, but some rumors about a possible Patriots/Vikings trade for #3 overall

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Kidding aside, I hope the best for him.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Went to a Titans board. One comment there. Not very long. I quote: "LOL" They don't sound overly upset about our aquisition.

beast (18-Apr) : OT Dillard has been absolutely horrible... like OG Newman levels

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Suit him up and have him stand in front of the big board as a draft day cautionary tale.
