LetPlummerPlay.com's 2008 Celebrity NFL Draft Hot Tub Party

Maybe this won't happen as much this year.

The Broncos actually played it safe in this years NFL Draft, taking OL Ryan Clady from Boise State with their first round pick. Clady is supposed to be pretty good and best of all for him, he won't have to memorize a new mascot. Maybe Shanny still has a few brain cells left, as we'll actually defend any decision that looks to improve the paper-thin lines on both sides of the ball. Of course the Denver Post criticized the decision, saying that the Broncos might have been better off taking Jonathan Stewart, a bruising RB from Oregon. We think they're better off with taking a shot at improving the line, but honestly, what do we know?

We here at LPP only care about NCAA football for what it is: the NFL's overrated minor league that gets hyped for three reasons: 1: Gambling 2: The NFL Draft 3: Gambling. We don't remember any college player's name except when ESPN gushes all over them...not to put down anyone who made a college team, but we feel the same way about NCAA basketball: it exists to make money for the school, stimulate gambling, and produce pros. On a national scale, that's all. Yes. That's ALL.

On a smaller and personal scale sure, school pride is nice and all but the games? They're just ticketed, televised sporting events from which rich old white guys get richer...kind of like the pros, yes, but at least in the pros the players are fairly compensated for their services. Also, for the most part rosters consist of the best of the best (Even the 2007 Miami Dolphins would destroy 2007 LSU. Sad but true.)

College (non-athlete version) is for getting a piece of paper that improves your resume, making connections which make said paper irrelevant, and learning how to handle your booze. College does not exist for hating a different college in the same region just because they wear blue and you wear green, and they're a "U" and you're a "State." NCAA games are fun, but it's no different than watching NCAA baseball or hockey...except that those two sports are ten times more difficult to successfully wager upon than football and basketball, therefore fewer people care. (Our humble opinion...well, that and no one watches hockey anymore and most baseball players don't get really good until they're at least 23-24, and many of the best hockey players come in as teenagers, and college baseball uses metal bats, and...let's face it, you REALLY have to like those sports to get into anything but the pro versions.)

So there you have LPP's 2008 NFL Draft report. Now go wait for Grand Theft Auto 4 to come out. That violence should tide you over until the preseason starts.
