Good morning people:

Like it or not, I’m back, and yes, I am about to talk a lot of smack (okay enough with the rhyming). As you know, the NFL draft is right around the corner and if I have to look at another mock draft I am going to personally shoot myself in the head with that gun that the killer from No Country for Old Men was using to kill his victims.

Can someone please tell me why every year we gather around a TV and pray that our home-team drafts a player that we feel can save our franchise? Deep down, we know the contribution from said player (with no experience) will either be hit or miss. I can’t lie; I to along with the rest of you guys will gather around the TV and hope that the Houston Texans will draft a player that can push us over the top and start a new tradition called THE PLAYOFFS!

Let’s be honest, can one player really push a team over the top? For you die hards, who can rattle off all the names of great players from the draft in previous years? My question to you is how soon did it translate to success for the franchise? Exactly.

Please don’t get me wrong, I love the draft; however, I just can’t understand why we fall for the all the hoopla around this time when we know that 80% of the players drafted will become a DISATOROUS BUST!

Can’t I have a normal day without putting all my eggs in the proverbial NFL draft basket? I need people who feel like me to fight back against ESPN and let’s do something totally different on this Saturday. Instead watching the NFL SHAFT all day long, let us join together and do something that we can look back and be proud of versus the norm of waiting for our hometown team to let us down once again (Houston Texans: I'm looking at you).
