There's at least one guy (maybe two or three) out there that I'm shocked hasn't been picked yet...
-
I used to mix McDonalds' barbecue and sweet & sour sauce and dip my fries in them when I was a kid.

Robert Baggio

Nice picks, Brind'Amour was another guy I was looking at before.
-
Sounds good to me.
-
I was looking at him but I already had a bunch of centers.

There's a number of players I'd like to take here but hopefully at least couple of them will make it back to me. In the meantime, I'm gonna take my first currently active player. Steve Hutchinson 5x Pro Bowl selection (2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007) 5x All-Pro selection (2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007) That's a bad man right there. Hutch (along with Walter Jones) helped make Shaun Alexander an MVP-caliber player, and as soon as he left Seattle, Alexander went to shit (to be fair, there were other reasons, but Hutch's departure was a big part of it). Once Hutch got to Minnesota, he helped Chester Taylor turn in a 1,200-yard season and now he's helping Adrian Peterson become one of the best backs in the league. He signed a record contract for a guard (7 years, $49 million) so he's also helping future great guards get paid.

Jere Lehtinen 3-time Selke winner, among other things.

Shit...didn't know they had one in Rochester. I'm definitely heading to that one next time I'm in the area.

I'm going outside the box a little and taking...a fullback? Marion Motley 1-time Pro Bowler (1950) 3-time 1st Team All-Pro (1946, 1948, 1950) NFL 75th Anniversary All-Time Team NFL 1940s All-Decade Team #32 on The Sporting News list of 100 greatest football players. Yes, the original fullback of the modern era. In fact, Paul Brown said he was the greatest fullback to ever play the game (including Jim Brown). Some people even call Motley the greatest player ever. More importantly, he was one of the first African-American players of the modern era. Motley was a beast of a runner, averaging 5.7 YPC for his career. He was an outstanding blocker, especially in pass protection. Motley was also a great linebacker (although I won't have him there for this draft). Even though the position of fullback has changed over the years, I have no doubt that Motley can succeed as a lead blocker for Gale Sayers. I can also line him up in a one-back formation and hand him the ball.

Hardees is good shit but the one in my area just closed Closest one is about 30 minutes away. Anyone got a Rally's/Checkers?

I'm actually gonna start out in net for my 1st pick. Lev Yashin
-
It's been well over 24 hours (meaning 909 and Gert are skipped) so I guess I can pick... John LeClair ECAC Second All-Star Team (1991) NHL First All-Star Team (1995, 1998) NHL Second All-Star Team (1996, 1997, 1999) World Cup All-Star Team (1996) Bud Ice Plus/Minus Award (1997) Bud Light Plus/Minus Award (1999) Played in NHL All-Star Game (1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 02 Olympics Silver Medal 02 Olympics First All-Star team Big, strong, fast, tough, great in front of the net, clutch, once scored 50+ goals in 3 straight seasons. A great American player.

And there goes my WR...back to the drawing board.
-
I'd say it'd be worth your time to check out a game there. Very nice scenery and atmosphere and the food's pretty good.

I've only been to 3. Tiger Stadium Comerica Park Fenway Park

Going back to defense, I'm gonna grab another DE with a member of the Purple People Eaters. Carl Eller Pro Bowl (x6) (1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1973, 1974) NFL 1970s All-Decade Team 1971 NEA NFL Defensive Player of the Year All-Pro 1968-1971, and 1973, 2nd Team All-Pro in 1967 and 1972 All-Conference 1968-73, 1975 2nd Team All-NFC 1974 Very quick and agile, but also tough and durable like other members of that great Viking defense (only missed 3 games in his career). Eller had 133.5 career sacks (unofficially of course) as well as 23 fumble recoveries, 9 blocked kicks, and 2 safeties. I was actually gonna pick him earlier, but I went with Dent. Having both Dent and Eller rushing the passer now should make life hell for opposing QB's. Also, I was looking at Ken Houston at safety, but he was taken a few picks beforehand.

Question, how/where/when did you guys get into (insert artist/group) in general? I need some guidance here cuz I swear, I haven't heard of 90% of the people mentioned in this folder, much less listened to their music (think I mentioned this before). Are they that obscure, or am I just not looking hard enough (or in the right places)? Pretty much any genre will do, particularly hip-hop/R&B.

Surname: Green Recorded in the spellings of Green and Greene, this is one of the most widespread of English, and sometimes Irish, surnames. It is usually of pre 7th century origins, and derives from the word "grene" meaning green. As such it may be topographical for a person resident by a village green or even a place called Green, or as a status name for a young man who played the part of the mystic and fertile "Green Man" sometimes known as "Jack in the Green", in the May Day fertility celebrations. In this context "green" was symbolic of youthful ardour, spring, and the re-growth of nature. Sometimes the surname can be of Irish origins, and a translation of the ancient Gaelic given name "Uaithne". As this also means "green," it probably has the same basic meaning and origin as the English form. Examples of the early recordings taken from authentic rolls, registers and charters of the Middle Ages, include Richard de la Grene of the county of Norfolk in the year 1200; William Grene in the Hundred Rolls of Yorkshire in 1230; Robert Othegreen, and Henry on the Green, both of Worcestershire, in 1274. Among the many distinguished namebearers listed in the "Dictionary of National Biography" are Charles Green (1785 - 1870), an early aeronaut, who made the first ascent with a hydrogen gas balloon in 1821. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Geoffrey de Grene. This was dated 1188, in the "Pipe Rolls" of the county of Kent", during the reign of King Henry 11 of England. He was known as "The Builder of Churches". 1154 - 1189. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was sometimes known as the Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

I'm gonna add to my O-line with a true blue Michigan man. Dan Dierdorf 6x Pro Bowl selection (1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1980) 6x All-Pro selection (1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1980) NFL 1970s All-Decade Team 3x NFLPA NFC OL of the Year (1976, 1977, 1978 3-time Emmy nominee as a sportscaster Truly one of the great O-linemen to play the game, Dierdorf has the entire package, combining strength, quickness, intelligence, and attitude to be a great blocker. He played most of his career at RT, so it's nice to have a player in that spot that actually has great experience there as opposed to starting a career LT at RT. Dierdorf also played guard and center, so he's very versatile.
