If I were playing Rass this week, I bet I'd be looking into where FDU actually plays their D1 basketball.

I thought Irving was right and I put Emtman in my preliminary list but had no really confidence in that one. I guess I just don't follow drafts that much.

I had a nagging feeling pulling me to switch to Coryatt thinking Emtman would be a huge score, ignoring my instincts paid off! That draft sticks out for me because as a Jets fan, I was convinced the Colts were guaranteed to build a dynasty around their #1 and #2 picks. Sedin twins I remember when they were drafted and that is when I stopped following, so I am shocked to see they both played for 21 years and are in the HoF. They are frozen as rookies in my mind. Also confidently had LeBron on my list, but see he was drafted 8 years earlier. I think I have an idea of what it's like to learn about pop culture after decades in a coma.

I really wanted to read that when it came out, and now I'm thinking I did and don't remember. I'm turning into my parents. I used to get mad at them when they'd rewatch a show or movie and not remember that they'd seen it already.

I gave Carwash 15 points on the second (QB) question. He was able to pull his starters before halftime.

I also thought about changing my answer to John Elway, thinking starting all those games against divisional foes San Diego, Los Angeles/Oakland, and Seattle might have gotten him there.
