Draft Night!

This is the night I look forward to every Spring. If you are my mom stop reading now! This is how obsessed I am with the NFL and the NFL Draft...true story...my grandpa's bday, my mom's dad, was in April. My mom's parents did not live in the Phoenix area like my dad's parents did, so we had to travel to the northern part of AZ to visit them. My mom always wanted to go visit her dad near his bday, which I totally understand but I wanted to watch the NFL Draft which was on Saturday and Sunday. I finally got old enough to spend the entire day by myself and I used to purposefully save a bunch of homework to do on that weekend. So when my mom would say we are going to Camp Verde for her dad's birthday I would say, "I have too much homework. I can't go. I won't get my homework done."  Now with my mom being a teacher she rarely argued about me wanting to stay home to do homework. Score! I know totally lame of me to choose football but that just shows my obsession goes deep and dates WAY back to my childhood.

I would be willing to bet I'm more into football than my husband. Wait...did I just say that! Yes indeed. Oh Brad is a huge football fan but he's all about teams he likes. The Cowboys and now the Cardinals, sometimes the Broncos too. Of course he loves playing football video games as one of those teams too. But with me, I watch pro football no matter who is playing. If there's a pro game on it's on my TV. I'm also big on college football. Brad has definitely adjusted to the fact that he now has to watch college football. On college football Saturday's the TV goes on for the pre-game in the A.M. and doesn't go off until midnight, or my husband turns it off because I'm causing too much of a ruckus watching those darn Oregon Ducks! Boo the Ducks!

So who will become the next member of the Cowboys and the Cardinals tonight? I want a QUARTERBACK! My husband wants a RUNNINGBACK. Brad has his fingers-crossed the Cowboys select Elliott from Ohio State. We'll see. In my opinion they need a Manning-Osweiler situation. They need to be grooming someone else behind Romo. The bench is currently empty in the QB area! I'm speaking from the standpoint of an up and comer! I hope they can get a diamond in the rough. Didn't Russell Wilson get drafted in the 3rd round 4 years ago? So it's possible even if they don't get a QB at the #4 spot. But seriously coming out of this draft without a QB is completely unacceptable!  Round 1 is tonight, NFL moved it to primetime a few years ago. Round 2 is in primetime tomorrow night and the other rounds are spread over Saturday and Sunday. I'm ready!
