🏈 NFL Draft tonight. I've been "draft eligible" for 36 years now. I think this is the year!!!

Instead of waiting on all 32 teams, in recent years I’ve narrowed my communications and marketing to 3 teams.

Houston Oilers
St. Louis Rams
Oakland Raiders

Even though I haven’t heard back from any of them (I know they are really busy right now) I’ve really got a good feeling about this year.

🤞

If anyone needs an extra-wide receiver or has room on their not-so-special teams, I'm available.

Actually I was a kicker. My wife bought me a kicking net last Christmas. Still got some pop.

Make an end run on the system and just show up to camp as a walk-on.

I'd suggest you should set your sights on the Chargers or the Rams because there's a Randy's Donuts within hoofing distance of the stadium. Nothing's better than eating donuts and watching the game from a sideline bench.

Easiest job in the world - weatherman in San Diego, “Tomorrow it’s going to be…nice”

The image of some middle aged guy in pads sitting legs crossed with a box of donuts waving to the camera cracks me up.

He got drafted by the Jets, Chicago Cardinals, and the Baltimore Orioles- they thought he might be a pitcher.

unless their telephone wire was on that bridge.

Ooops, that was forty years ago that they sneaked out of town in the wee hours.

Used to go for runs around the old stadium on 33rd street.

A coworker had a Baltimore Browns sweatshirt (when Modell had announced he was moving that team to Bal’more) and he wouldn’t sell it to me.
