Damn, Realplayer sucks. I've got video but no sound..

Look for RealAlternative. Uses and old version of Windows Media player, and some ripped RealMedia codecs and works real well. None of the crappy bells, whistles and adware of the 'official' versions, but all the core functionality.

I've been using it for some time.

I'm here for the draft today. I was out yesterday at a tournament, so read through most of the thread when I got back.

I didn't hear anything about the draft, so I sat down around 11pm and waded through this commentary and pretended I was following it real time
It was actually kind of fun, because I really didn't know what was going to happen until I read about it on this thread! I was actually all tense to see what was going to go down when the possibility of trade with NO was being discussed, although it had died hours before, of course.

Ok, funniest things I saw on this thread yesterday. And there were quite a few...

Swede's post about that FIB Ditka being dragged out of our draft room.

Someone (Cyclone? imscott?) saying Rodgers should call Leinart and say 'welcome to my world'!

Rastak loosing consiouness when the Queens picked Ryan Cook. Everyone wanted Hodge, GB and Mn each had two picks, and no one grabbed him!!!

Tank saying he was looking like a genius.

I'm hoping we can get some offense today. At least one more WR and I guess we need a QB at some point...or do you think TT will just invite some undrafted QB's into camp?

[GrnBay007]

A big thanks to all those that posted the bio/stats on the picks GB took yesterday....during the draft and after. It's nice to be able to come to one place for so much info.

He's of the Wolf philosophy, take one QB a draft. What QB though? Take a chance on the Northwestern QB late, spelling slips me at the moment.

Owen Daniels goes to the Texans with the first pick of the fourth round

Max Jean Gilles goes to Philly with the 2nd pick.

Another Badger gone; Bernstein is my only hope.

I really wish TT'd have taken the TE Byrd from USC yesterday instead of giving the pick away for a 4th and 6th.

8 tight ends went on the first day, and Daniel now makes nine. I thought as many as 10 TEs could go on the first day, I wasn't to far off.

Apparently the 49ers are taking a QB. I think it might be Vick.

[Guiness]

Good, someone else posted so I don't look like a dweeb for making 4 posts in a row!

How long between picks now? I think it should be like speed chess. 30 seconds each, don't make your pick, you lose it. Then we could see teams like GB with 30 something coaches doing well, and a guy like Vermiel (I know, he's gone) dropping to the floor on the way to the mike. The next guy would have to hurdle over him, a la Hendo to get to the mike.

The real fun would begin if Art Shell landed on Vermeil, and broke some of his ribs...

[KYPack]

Either Ko Simpson or Max Jean-Gilles would nbe fine with me.

I had been hoping for Hawk with the first and Max Jean-Gilles with our 2nd.

We got Hodge, Hawk & good Oline prospects?

Great draft.

Micheal Robinson!!! announced as a running back!
