Astrology in Ted's 08 Draft

[CaliforniaCheez]

As part of Ted's assessment of players does he consult astrological tables or does he favor drafting players with certain astrological sun signs??

Jordy Nelson- Gemini Air Sign. Smart and Fast.

Brian Brohm- Libra Air Sign. Smart, Likeable balanced.

Patrick Lee- Aquarius Air Sign. Disciplined emotionally. Some smarts

Jermichael Finley - Aries Odd Fire sign. Fire signs like Air signs

Jeremy Thompson - Libra Air Sign Prone to low back injury

Josh Sitton - Gemini Air Sign

Breno Giacomini - Libra Air Sign

Matt Flynn - Gemini Air Sign Gemini's tend to be prone to arm injury

Brett Swain - Gemini Air Sign

Astrologicly you can see the significance of this draft and how it fits with team building. Air Signs are team players not selfish and rather intelligent.

Now does Ted like these players because they have similar characteristics or is astrology just another tool and piece of information in drafting??

[The Leaper]

Nah.

It just proves that Thompson only trades up for Aries.

Seriously, if you want to research this, you will need more than one years worth of evidence.

Here's the 2007 Draft:

Justin Harrell is an Aquarius which is an Air Sign.
Brandon Jackson is a Libra, another Air Sign.
James Jones is an Aries, which is a Fire Sign.
Aaron Rouse is a Capricorn which is an Earth Sign.
Allen Barbre is a Gemini, which is an Air Sign.
David Clowney is a Cancer, which is a Water Sign.
Korey Hall and Desmond Bishop are both Leos, which is a Fire Sign.
Mason Crosby is a Virgo, an Earth Sign.
DeShawn Wynn is a Libra, Air Sign.
Clark Harris is a Cancer, another Water Sign.

Interestingly the only two players we drafted in 2007 to not make the team were Water Signs, Cancers in particular. We drafted no Water Signs or Cancers this year, is Thompson learning from his mistakes?

Now somebody else do the 2006 draft.

Look what Ted found in Shermy's secret file cabinet - last used for Mike McKenzie:

2006:

A.J. Hawk is a Capricorn, Earth Sign.
Daryn Colledge is an Aquarius, Air Sign
Greg Jennings is Virgo, an Earth Sign, but is very nearly a Libra (an Air Sign).
Abdul Hodge is another Virgo, an Earth Sign.
Jason Spitz is a Sagittarius, a Fire Sign.
Cory Rodgers is a Pisces, a Water Sign.
Will Blackmon is a Scorpio, Water Sign.
Ingle Martin is a Leo, Fire Sign
Tony Moll is a Virgo, an Earth sign; but is very nearly a Leo (Fire Sign).
Johnny Jolly is a Pisces, a Water Sign.
Tyrone Culver is a Cancer, a Water Sign.
Dave Tollefson is a Taurus, an Earth Sign, but is very nearly a Gemini (Air Sign).

2005:

Aaron Rodgers is a Sagittarius, Fire Sign.
Nick Collins is a Leo, Fire sign.
Terrence Murphy is a Sagittarius, Fire Sign.
Marviel Underwood is an Aquarius, Air Sign.
Brady Poppinga is a Virgo, Earth sign but is very nearly a Libra (Air Sign.)
Junius Coston is a Scorpio, Water sign.
Mike Hawkins is a Cancer, Water Sign.
Mike Montgomery is a Leo, Fire Sign.
Craig Bragg is a Pisces, Water Sign.
Kurt Campbell is a Leo, Fire Sign.
Will Whitticker is a Leo, Fire Sign.

That's all of Ted's drafts, or at least I'm not going to go and look at the Seattle ones.

So it looks like Ted has bad luck with Water Signs. Of the ones he's drafted only Jolly has shown he's a good player, though there's hope for Blackmon and Culver. The rest have done nothing, particularly the Cancers. Culver is probably being held back by his astrological sign.

Alright, A-rod's a Sagittarius I guess I'll cheer for him over Brohm.

Where the heck did that pic come from?

[Joemailman]

Just thought I'd check...

TT is a Capricorn.

Some Capricorn traits:

Practical and prudent
Ambitious and disciplined
Patient and careful
Humorous and reserved


Maybe there is some thing to it!

You should always keep cancers off the team. They will ruin things.

Astrology - something that makes 40 times at the combo look dead accurate in predicting NFL careers.

[Fritz]

Groovy, man.

So, if like water signs are sucking azz (see Rogers, Corey), then I fear for Will Blackmon's future on this team:

"Will Blackmon is a Scorpio, Water Sign."

Whoa. Like, dude, man.

Pass the bong.
