I couldn’t believe anyone has any regard for Mario Edwards. He sure spent a lot of time last season chasing receivers, then walking back to the huddle with his chin on his chest. Maybe the guys at ESPN saw his one good game.

I can get into [www.antsports.com](http://www.antsports.com) just fine, you can actually navigate all around the site except to any draft page. Dunno what the deal is with that.

Yeah, it wants a user name, password and domain name. Then it throws you out.

Well, since it’s still not up, I’ll have to note that I had the following, in their prime:

1972 Miami Dolphins

Looks like we back up, WL on the clock.

Sucks that they counted the down time against him, hope he gets his pick in.

**mrchan** is on the clock now, so it’s going to be a few hours before he’s up and at 'em.

I like Marc Bulger as insurance in the 13th round?

12.08 Chico’s Bail Bonds - (Team1 - Munch) Streets, Tai WR SFO

This could be the steal of the draft. Owens is a nut job and Stokes is gone June 1st. Wow!!

I kept thinking about picking him but for me keeping Stokes and Streets straight is a struggle.

I thought Bulger was an _excellent_ pick.

Thanks. He also could be the steal of the draft in the 13th, depending on how things go with Warner’s thumb this year.

Who the heck is the new SF head coach, anyway. Wasn’t it Erickson? I wonder how that will affect them.

The only way I can tell them apart is by remembering that JJ isn’t “Dy-no-mite”.

We’ve got another West Coaster on the clock, then we’re predrafted into the 16th round. I can’t believe we’re going sixteen rounds in a fourteen team draft. I wonder who “Mr. Extremely Irrelevant” will be?

Yeah, but just think; when you’re 72 years old, sitting in your rocking chair on the porch, just after the dinosaurs became extinct, you can tell your great-grandkids that you were there the only time in history…😉

So, it looks as if **WhiteLightning** is letting the computer make his final selection. Then it’s computers and predrafts except for **Stitch** through pick 13 in the 16th round. So we should be done in a few hours.

Then what?
