Steelers Win Super Bowl, Kurt Warner still a Vagina, Mock Drafts are Useless

Actually it doesn't matter. If the Cardinals won the Super Bowl Kurt Warner would still be a vagina. Not your ordinary run of the mill vagina either but a big, hairy, smelly, wet vagina.

Why you ask? I don't care if you asked, I'm going to write it anyway.

I have no problem with people being religious in general. I think though that religion is a private thing. Athletes that proclaim and praise a deity for success in vanquishing an opponent come across as arrogant and self righteous. There is a time and a place for the praise. A post game interview or press conference isn't the forum for it. There is church, a family gathering and even an interview in the press. Talk about your religion and faith then.

Jesus, Mohamed, Buddha or Vishnu played no part in your victory, athletic prowess or late game penalty that allowed you to go score on the game winning drive. Jesus didn't tackle, Mohamed didn't play linebacker, Buddha didn't cause a fumble and Vishnu didn't jump offside.

No the game was decided by play calling, play execution, athletic prowess and sometimes bone head moves or pure luck. God didn't will one team to win over the other.

Ah but it isn't religion that makes Warner a vagina. What makes him a vagina is that he considered retiring midseason after Anquan Boldin took that vicious hit against the Giants in week four.

Depending on who you believe, his husband or Warner, the thought was there during the game that he thought about it. His husband, Susan Powers, says he meant immediately. Warner says he meant after the season. Whatever the case, you don't text your husband during the game and mention retirement. What is any player doing on the sideline with a phone anyway?

Warner, his vagina twitching after that hit, thought about retiring. Why all of a sudden in week four did you think of it? Sure the hit on Bouldin was vicious. I can understand it shocking and shaking up everybody on the field. But to come out and say you thought about retiring is just flat out twatty behavior. Warner acts like this is the first time he's realized that football could be dangerous. It's like he never heard of Joe Theisman or Mike Utley.

Maybe Warner realized that Jesus wasn't out there to block for him and that the time to retire was now.

Now that it's the off season is when Warner should start contemplating his retirement. Now is a good time to consult with Jesus and pray about it. Not the middle of the season.

Whatever you do Warner, spare us the Brett Farve saga and stick to your decision once you make it.

Texans, Free Agency and Mock Drafts

Since the Texans had no place in the playoffs, I started looking at draft sites, reading draft gurus and looking at mock drafts.

Then I realized what an exercise in futility it was. Basically all the really good scouts that do reports charge money for their services. The few paysites that are available doesn't mean they are with the money. Those are mostly observers of the draft. Just because they charge doesn't mean they know what they are doing.

Finally some of the mock drafts and alleged gurus simply don't know what they are talking about. In some drafts, it's evident that they have no clue what some teams need and they merely slot college players by rank.
The Texans need help on the defensive side. Mario Williams needs help to take double teams off him. The Texans more than likely will draft a defensive linemen or linebacker. They have stated they need another running back to compliment Steve Slaton. The Texans believe they can find a third down or short yardage back in the later rounds.

With the Texans criterion in mind, I take a look at a few mock draft. Many have the Texans taking a defensive player. A mock draft losses credibility when they list the Texans picking offense with the first round. Draft Tek has the Texans taking Keyshawn Moreno from Georgia. Texans have a top five offense and need the defensive help. Moreno won't be in a Texans uniform. Total Pro Sports projects Missouri's WR Jeremy Maclin because the Texans "are not the same team when he [Andre Johnson] is hurt." The guru is right about that but please point out which game Johnson was hurt this season? He wasn't. Draft Insiders' Digest is equally as clueless with a Moreno pick. I can't find the link anymore but there was another with the Texans selecting Beanie Wells (RB Ohio St).

Two things make the mock drafts pointless. First, free agency hasn't started. Where the free agents end up can significantly change a teams draft strategy. Second is the team visits and NFL combine. Players pretty much go under the microscope with physical and mental exams along with interviewing with coaches and scouts. A players value can greatly increase or decrease based on the combine.

So instead of following the mock drafts, I'll spend my time better by looking at internet porn and maybe looking for stocks to buy to make me some money.
