After at least a week of unending anxiety over the Chiefs' GM search, I'm finally ready to settle down for a few hours and watch what should be an excellent football game this evening.
Game time is at 7 PM central time. Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford is the guy to watch tonight for Kansas City Chiefs' fans. If the Lions and Rams are somehow dense enough to pass over Sam Bradford in this year's draft, then I think Bradford has to become a Chief.
Oh, and there's this Tebow guy playing too. Should be fun to watch.
What's your prediction? I've got Oklahoma by at least 10.

Its going to be good
Do you think tebow is going to be a stud in the nfl ?He seems like a leader for sure, but I think he is just a gym class hero.

OU by two tds.
Lets hope Clark lets the new GM start fresh, with his guys. Who would want a coach, who has lost twice as many as he has won in KC?

you guys started that big lead thing before the OU game the other day
and I told you it was going to be close. I say this thing will go down to the wire.
We need a future defensive leader, his name is James Laurinaitis and he can be selected in round 1 of the upcoming Draft.

10 points sounds good, I dont know, I can see Bradford falling a strong possibility. Very good chance Lions will go with one of the big Tackle Prospects, and the Rams seem to be a lock to take a tackle as well.

I am a little worried that Florida will start fast
and put some pressure on Bradford. I am anxious to see how he responds to it. If the Chiefs draft him, he could see a lot of it next season.
There are lots of pro prospects to get a look at in this game. McShay on the radio this morning said something like 15 or so. I am pumped!

Very true
at least we got a Nat’l Championship game with two of the most talented teams, if we didn’t get the most deserving (Utah). If we pass on Bradford, I would love to draft Brian Johnson from Utah. Really impressed me the other night, and I think he could be had with a 7th rounder.

It won't happen until 2011
The draft is structured now so that those at the top become super, super rich before even stepping on the field. With an uncapped year coming up, Goodell said the draft structure wouldn’t change until at least 2011. So they can become filthy rich very early until then.

Okay, I've Got To Ask
What the fuck is the deal with the reverse play clock Fox is showing at the bottom of the screen? Can’t they just do a goddamned play clock that counts down to zero instead of going backwards just so they can be all clever and different?
I’ve hated Fox’s football coverage ever since they started displaying that stupid fucking Transformer on their pro games. Fox sucks.

Seriously, I cannot say enough how much I hate the Fox television network. It’s not just that they often cater to the lowest common denominator (the neoconservatives) with their “news” shows, it’s that they suck at so much of what they do in everything else as well.

He's Got To Be Better Than Kevin Costner In "Robin Hood"
Most of the other Germans in “Valkyrie” have British accents…Robin Hood with an American accent was truly pathetic. One of the worst acting performances I ever saw…it was the point at which I knew Costner was on the way down.

I Was Laughing My Ass Off At That Film
It was such a pathetic movie and Costner was sooooo out of his depth in that part. I remember that the head of Morgan Creek Productions was actually the one who overruled the directors and cast him because he wanted a lot of “star power”.
There was a TV version of Robin Hood that came out about the same time with Patrick Bergen and Jurgen Prochnow (both German actors) and even they could do better British accents than Costner. It was a much better film too.

Difference Of Opinion
I like everything else he’s done…“True Romance” just didn’t do it for me. The best things about that film for me were the cameos (forgot to mention Val Kilmer as Elvis…which I enjoyed). The main characters in the show just annoyed me.
By the way, Tony Soprano was one of the hitmen in that film. :)

I wonder what Gandolfini’s going to do with himself in the future. It’s gotten tougher to typecast actors like happened with the guys who played Superman and Fonzie, but can anyone who watched the show really go to a film with James Gandolfini in the future and not think “Hey, that’s Tony Soprano” ?

That's Not To Take Away Anything From Gandolfini
He’s a very talented actor…but his career pre-Sopranos was as a character actor and a character actor’s strength is often his relative anonymity and ability to slip into the role so the audience sees only the character and not the actor. Don’t know that he can do that any more now that he’s played one of the most memorable characters in the history of television.
