1 Detroit Matthew Stafford QB Georgia 6/2 225 4.81
Stafford is a strong arm QB who often relies to much on his physical abilities. But the talent is there to be developed. He can certainly launch the deep ball to Calvin Johnson. The Lions cannot really afford to come out of this draft without a QB.

For those of us Dolphin Diehards old enough to remember Laugh-In, there was an award that was given, and it was kind of like a reverse-Espy. You had to do something boneheaded to ‘win’ it, and the ‘trophy’ was a golden hand with a single finger raised. Of course, it wasn’t the ‘bird’ finger (especially with the censorship of the late 60’s), but that was the intent. It was the dreaded Fickle Finger of Fate.

That is the knee-jerk reaction among some of the fans. Really, it is hard to backhand the fans for that attitude as they have had to endure an inferior passion on the field this decade. Still, when Sparano issues a “must win” game after just one game, you would expect the team to jump out of their jock straps and put on a gutsy performance.

I think most of you have seen the movie Animal House at some point. To let you know how old I am, that movie came out my senior year of high school. In fact, our senior class made “Animal House” our Yearbook theme. I guess you now know why this country is in the shape it is in;)

I’m surprised that some actually believed me when I said I was on the 10-6 bandwagon. I’m even more surprised that some of you believed I was exasperated and suicidal over the results of the first game of the season. If you guys should know anything about me right now, it’s that I don’t get too high or too low.
