28. New England – HANK PUDSNIFFER, G, Northwestern Iowa School of Mines
Belichick rattles off at least one “What the fuck?” pick in every draft, where he spends a first or second-round choice on a guy who isn’t even in the CBS list of 1000 draft prospects; all you can find is one grainy YouTube video of the guy performing in an arm-wrestling contest on Croatian television. Note: I actually think the Pats end up with Mark Ingram somehow, but there’s a WTF pick in there somewhere, guaranteed.

The NFL's Rush to Judgement
For all the “sky is falling” ruminations of those on the left, give them credit for one thing - liberals are consistent in their Chicken Little approach to governing.Very little waffling in this group, my friends. They go from majority rule to folding like a cheap suitcase in record time.
Conservatives, on the other hand, are fearless in their approach and deal with dichotomy by refusing to admit that any of their positions conflict, regardless of the evidence provided.
Which brings me to Rush Limbaugh, he of the failed bid to become a minority owner of the St. Louis Rams. Limbaugh has trumpeted a familiar tune in all this, reminding us that he’s right and everyone one is not only wrong, but participating in an elaborate conspiracy to silence him, and by proxy, real Americans.
It’s not so much that those opposing his participation in the NFL dislike his politics, although he, more than anyone, has sought to cement the bond between true conservative Republicanism and the mean-spirited, ignorant, obstructionist bile that spews from his cigar hole.
Most people just don’t like, or agree, with what Rush Limbaugh says.
Now, those that do, really do. I mean, psychotically. Cult-like reverence for the man.
Perhaps his short-sighted opinions are in some way formed by Limbaugh being unable to see his shoes since 1985.
Being disliked doesn’t make you a victim.
But the 1st Amendment doesn’t guarantee the right to flattery. It says the government can’t restrict the free speech rights of the citizenry. Put another way, it ensures that Limbaugh can spout his drivel free from governmental meddling and censorship, which also safeguards our right to consider him an addict to heresy.
Limbaugh has salted away millions by advancing the argument that personal accountability and boot-strapping is the answer to all problems. You make your bed, you lay in it, pal.
Except when that bunk is lined by a trillion harsh comments, racially-tinged remarks, and misogynistic messages, apparently.
Be accountable for your words and actions, sir.
You’ve created a portfolio of personal spite that now comes home to roost. The business of professional football has judged your rancor to be a hindrance to their marketing and profits, and ironically, the issue is quite black and white.
Perhaps you can buy into a pro basketball team. I’ve heard the NBA has strict rules that mandate how much white player’s shoes must contain.
