Hey IMSCOTT, which pick were they making fun of, Kevin Williams or Bryant McKinnie?

KW..they were replaying Berman and the boys going crazy about the Vikes not turning their pick in..

Hey IMscott, I went apeshit. I damn near had a fucking stroke. I'm serious.


It worked out fantastic but holy crap was I bummed.

I bet you were. I probably would've broke my tv set with something, but it all worked out..

more from Ted...

they missed on somebody they wanted in the 2nd. They tried to trade up, but didn't get it done.

[digitaldean]

That's it for day 1! See you in the day two thread!

Have a good one Ras! Hopefully we'll see you before round 5

DID ANY TEAM PICK DAN CONNOR?

nope

[Gunakor]

Day one in the books, and I guess it could've been worse. I think Nelson would've dropped to #60, but I like the player and think he'll be a good fit in our passing game. I think Patrick Lee might be the best of the second level corners in this draft, and a very good value where he was selected. I'm of the opinion that we should have looked twoards the FA market for a backup QB so he'd have NFL experience, but Brohm might have been the best of TT's picks thus far. Overall I'm happy.

Woody, do you really sense that Favre is committed to doing the necessary work to continue to play?

His indecision doesn't mean to me that he CAN'T play anymore, but it does demonstrate to me that he isn't as committed to playing as he used to be.

Does this officially end the Favre era in Green Bay? No way you bring him back now right? Wow..Wonder how Aaron feels right now..QB controversy anybody?

I'd love Favre to come back just to pisss fella's like you off.

Watch the NFLN then. Espn hates us.

I like taht we picked a CB...but I want Jason Taylor!

I would except for the fact that Time Warner Cable hates me and refuses to have the NFL network

Gotta love Big Brother Time Warner. Can have all sorts of crap channels on (style, Lifetime) and then screw around with NFLN.

DirecTV is the way to go. Big Ten Net plus NFL Net all in high def..I dumped cable a few months ago and it's the best decision I've ever made..

Yeah, love to do it, but I have trees from my %*#&@#*$(* city on a terrace blocking the SW exposure I need to get line of sight for satellite. Tried it with Dish about 6 years ago, worked great in fall/winter, when spring came it was useless.

Eh that sucks..I have so much sports content now I can't find the time to watch it all..Best thing is I pay the same I paid MediaScam for their crappy content.

They asked a follow up qeustion "were you trying to move up to get Brohm" and he said "yes"

[gbgary]

TT just said he was trying to trade up to get Brohm.

hmmmm. that shows he'll do it. ended up not having to.

[Carolina_Packer]

lol they're replaying the Vikings missed 1st round pick..classic..

Which one, Kevin Williams or Bryant McKinnie?

Williams..

Yea, that was a fuckup, eh? Paying #9 money to a #7 guy.......who rocks.

A way to trade back, not get any other picks, still get the guy you want, and save money. I'm surprised more teams don't try it in a small window of picks.

Ted got booed again in the atrium, he said. He said a few stood up and clapped to defend him.

IMSCOTT: How is the reception during rain/snow? Also where you at? I have observed that direct is better than dish in some areas and vice versa. I just wish that verizon had FiOS in our area... HD not compressed!

I'm in NE Iowa and haven't had any problems during rain or snow. I installed mine under my eave so I think that helps. FIOS is awesome, but not in my area. I don't notice any compression with directv at all. Their HD content looks fantastic. They also launched a new bird a couple months ago so more HD stuff coming.

[RashanGary]

Said he tried to move up, but wasn't going to be foolish about it. Fortunatly the thing came to us.

I missed Woody post on this. I wouldn't be pissed if Brett came back, but I don't see it happening now with two young solid QB's unless we trade one of them. If Brett decides to return, Arod is as good as gone imo..If Brett can commit to a couple years then we can groom Brohm at that point.
