60 Minutes

I know that for many people the NFL Draft is nothing to watch, but everything to read about the next day. However, today is that rare exception.

If you can find your way to a television about 4 P.M. today, you will see Commish Roger Goodell step to the podium and announce that, "With the sixth pick in the NFL Draft, the New York Jets have selected..." If McFadden is still on the board and the first syllable is not "Dare", expect half of Radio City Music Hall to make ears bleed with their chorus of disdain, while the other half unfasten their belts in hopes of hanging themselves with the strap.

Jets fans take over the draft every year and even stuck it to Mike Nugent, whom they drafted in the second round and desperately needed. One of the first years that I can remember being a Jets fan, the faithful allowed their feelings to be known when Kyle Brady was selected above one W-Sapp. That response will pale in comparison should the announcement of a defensive play maker like Vernon Gholston is announced leaving McFadden to fall to seven and the New England Patriots.

Here is to hoping that some sanity is left in this world when I go to bed tonight.
