I attended a cookout last night and got really, really drunk. It was fun, killing beers and drinking vodka straight out of the bottle.
Shitfaced…
I spent the first 2 hours of may day today tracking down my car and apologizing to my wife (sorry honey, I love you).
So I was pretty hungover today and consequentley laid down for a nap for an hour before having to go sell some furniture at 2:00 PM. I woke up to the following text message on my Blackberry from my buddy Murderface (yes we really call him that):
Apr 26 2009 12:41:33 PM
Its sun dress day…
I chuckle to myself and take a shower , after I get out I have another from Kendrigan:
Apr 26, 2009 1:32:36 PM
Sun dress city sonn
I texted Kendrigan back simply saying…
“I’m on my way!”
I arrived and a quick inspection revealed what my colleagues had already discovered…
It’s Sundress season
The Season has begun
If you don’t have the pleasure of living in the northeast you don’t realize this was a BRUTAL winter. We got a veritable fuckload of snow, or was it a fuck-ton. Not sure but I can tell you one thing it SUCKED. As I mentioned in Friday’s post the weather has been amazing. Today was 90+!
So now that it’s finally nice and really nice at that the Sundresses are out in full force. The Sundress is one of the hotfatguys most favorite things, not even sure if they are still “in” but I don’t care. Love it, love it, love it…
You see, being a manager in a furniture store in the Boston area has it’s pros and cons but once Sundress season starts it becomes one of the best jobs out there.
There are so many Colleges and Universities within our market that the flow of 19-23 hot females is never ending. The only better place is the Post Office Square park downtown during the work week.
But I digress…
The NFL draft wrapped up today, Bill Belichick has forgotten more about football than I will ever know. He is the Boston sports Lombardi but I don’t know why we have a shot at grabbing at least one of USC’s stud linebackers Matthews or Maualuga and trade out of the pick. Here is the rundown of the Pat’s picks (all 12 of them).
The list of picks and their bio’s are bootlegged with pride from espn.com (obviously). If I knew this much about football I wouldn’t work at a furniture store:
| NFL Team: New England Patriots 2009 Picks | ||||
| RD | PK(OVR) | NAME | POS | SCHOOL |
| 2 | 2(34) | Patrick Chung | S | Oregon |
| from Kansas City | ||||
| Chung is not a great cover safety; he isn’t fluid or explosive enough to match up with NFL slot receivers in man coverage. He doesn’t have elite ball skills, either. On the other hand, Chung is a tough run-stopper who can deliver the big hit. He also has enough range to cover the deep half of the field. | ||||
| 2 | 8(40) | Ron Brace | DT | Boston College |
| from Oakland | ||||
| Brace isn’t as quick or agile as his college teammate B.J. Raji and he’s never going to be a great pass-rusher. But he’s just as stout as Raji against the run and Brace can hold his ground working against double-teams and keep blockers off the linebackers, making him a good fit at nose tackle in a 3-4 scheme. | ||||
| 2 | 9(41) | Darius Butler | CB | Connecticut |
| from Green Bay | ||||
| Butler doesn’t always play up to his ability. He can give receivers too much of a cushion in off-man coverage and we’re concerned about his ability to defend the run. On the flip side, he’s arguably the quickest corner in the draft and has the fluid hips to develop outstanding man-to-man cover skills. | ||||
| 2 | 26(58) | Sebastian Vollmer | OT | Houston |
| Vollmer has an excellent combination of length and size and is light on his feet. He does a great job using his long arms to ride speed-rushers past the pocket while possessing the agility to redirect against double moves. He needs to work on staying lower out of his stance to develop into more of a run-blocker. | ||||
| 3 | 19(83) | Brandon Tate | WR | North Carolina |
| from New York Jets through Green Bay | ||||
| Tate brings excellent versatility. He can contribute immediately in the return game, shows excellent fluidity as a route-runner and is at his best catching the ball in the open field. However, we have concerns with the fact that Tate’s coming off a major knee injury. | ||||
| 3 | 33(97) | Tyrone McKenzie | OLB | South Florida |
| compensatory selection | ||||
| McKenzie reads his keys, locates the ball quickly and tackles well. He also shows good range and awareness in zone coverage. The biggest concern we have with him is that he doesn’t have great top-end speed, so he’s going to have a problems matching up with tight ends and backs in man coverage. He also lacks great ball skills. | ||||
| 4 | 23(123) | Richard Ohrnberger | OG | Penn State |
| from Baltimore | ||||
| Ohrnberger is a mauler who plays with an aggressive attitude and works very hard to finish his blocks. However, he’s limited athletically and will struggle with quicker interior defensive linemen. | ||||
| 5 | 34(170) | George Bussey | OT | Louisville |
| compensatory selection | ||||
| Bussey possesses good strength upstairs. However, he fails to deliver a violent punch. He also shows some inconsistency with his footwork in pass protection, which creates some concern to his ability to prevent quicker defensive ends from turning the corner. | ||||
| 6 | 25(198) | Jacob Ingram | LS | Hawaii |
| from Baltimore | ||||
| We believe Ingram is the best long-snapper who has come out in the past three years. His zip and accuracy are the two main reasons he was drafted. | ||||
| 6 | 34(207) | Myron Pryor | DT | Kentucky |
| compensatory selection | ||||
| Pryor possesses excellent lower-body strength and plays with low pad level, which allows him to create excellent leverage in the interior. However, we have concerns about overall durability; he wears down throughout the course of a game. | ||||
| 7 | 23(232) | Julian Edelman | WR | Kent State |
| from Miami through Jacksonville | ||||
| Edleman, a former QB, displays excellent athleticism. He will need some time to develop, learning how to run routes and create separation. | ||||
| 7 | 25(234) | Darryl Richard | DT | Georgia Tech |
| Richard plays with great effort and uses his hands extremely well. However, his lateral movement is adequate at best and he will struggle to anchor on the interior. | ||||
So when Jacob Ingram is a Pro-Bowl long snapper I won’t be at all surprised nor am I that he was drafted. Belichick covets these guys I’m sure he’ll turn out to be a stud.
The Sox also wrapped up a 9 game home stand sweep and a 3 game sweep of the Yankees so life is good. The Celts lost a tough one today but I still like them to beat Chicago in 7.
So Sundress season is here and the Sox are rolling and I have a 10:30AM tee time tomorrow.
Life is good indeed…
Punching Out (for now)…
