The Yachtsman

The Scizz has been on me all week to finish the Draft grades I promised our dear reader(s?) this past weekend.  I sat in front of the computer after work every night and tried to come up with things to say about our new picks and I simply couldn't muster the strength.  

The spirit did not move me to write anything... I simply don't trust the BrainMush @ One Bills Drive to do anything right anymore.  Why waste your time and mine trying to sugarcoat another shitty draft?  We picked three DBs, passed on a proven stud d-lineman for a skinnier/riskier Aaron Schobel, and reached on a couple linemen who could have been picked much later in the draft.  That's what's been running around my head these past few days, so there you have it.  Allen Wilson, I am not.

However, it's not like I don't have something to bitch about at length.  Being a Buffalo Sports fan, I'll always have something to bitch about.  And yes, something has been bothering me for quite some time.  It's this guy:

Here at DGWUSports, we love us some Eric Wood. 

He started 49 consecutive games at Louisville, punishes D-Lineman, and if you followed our live NFL draft blog, you know he looks like a dear old friend of ours.  Except maybe replace "dear old", with "crazy ass".  Anyways, today there was a great read about him in the Buffalo News.  Enjoy you sexy, sexy readers you!

Defensive Captain Donte Whitner pleaded not guilty yesterday to this lovely incident.

I actually feel bad for the guy. It seems like he truly was just trying to help his friends, but of course, took it a liiiiiiiittle too far.  At least he didn't scream about the millions of dollars that he isn't actually making.

(Site Note:  Sorry about the picture before.  Thanks to several readers (several?  wow), I was informed that it was picture of Maurice Clarett, not Mr. Whitner.  My apologies to all parties.  Especially Clarett, that dude is crazy.)

Hey folks, your DGWU Crew here.  Sorry for no updates yesterday, but since all members of this blog are gainfully employed (sorta), there will be those days when the updating may be lacking.  So please forgive us, and enjoy today's news. 

But DO NOT forgive Max Afinogenov.  He sucks.

It appears that the gang down at 1 Bills Drive wasn't done, even after making eight picks in this weekends draft.

According to the (get ready) Spartanburg Herald-Journal (yeah that's right, I said it), former Furman University offensive tackle Joel Bell has agreed to a three-year deal with the Bills.  Until we know how much the contract is worth, it's hard to argue for or against this.  However, physically, he's the same as Brad Butler & Kirk Chambers (6'7" / 315).  So maybe (MAYBE) in a year or two he bulks up and replaces one of them?  Maybe?

WGR is reporting Buffalo may be interested in Seattle's former stud linebacker Leroy Hill.  Russ said that he will explore the possibility.  Rrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiight Russ. And I'm going to explore the possibility of buying a new luxury home in this awesome economy.

Side note: What's up with the dude staring at Leroy in the above picture?  Creepy.

The Apologist

As you'll all come to learn in the days to come, I'm all about the small victories in a season.  The way I see it, you have to look for the little wins when you root for the teams we root for.  And yesterday, one of our favorite teams to hate, the Philadelphia Flyers, handed us a doozy.  There they were four minutes into the second period, up three on their interstate rivals, thanks in part to former SoHo regular Daniel Briere (1 goal, 1 assist), looking to send the series back to Pittsburgh for the two sweetest words in any hockey fans' dictionary... Game Seven.  And then Flyers fans got to sit there and watch Marty Biron give up five goals.  Hooray! (Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)

Post-Live Blog Update:  Buffalo just traded up in the 2nd round to take top guard prospect, Andy Levitre.  Solid player, great jokes available with his last name.

Note:  We gave up our 3rd and 4th rounder to move up for him.  DGWUS is ok with this.

7:31  Scizz:  So, we have had some technical difficulties.  The Mike Ludders picture literally crashed the blog, so therefore we have restarted the blog here in the 2nd round (and late 1st).  Beanie Wells was selected by Arizona.  Second best man named "Beanie" behind this guy.

3:47  Scizz:  New Orleans is leading Denver.  Wait, what?

4:02  Yachtsman:  Matthew Stafford and the rest of the backroom crew at the NFL Draft are the luckiest men alive... and not due to the absurd amounts of guaranteed money they'll be receiving this year.  They're lucky because of her:

4:03  Yachtsman:  Chris Berman is sweatily introducing Roger Goodell, who looks like he just finished a marathon session of bondage sex... or he's just exhausted... and the Lions select Matthew Stafford... WOW.  SHOCKER.  Are Stafford's hands too small?  Cue up only deep ball clip they've shown all week...

Welcome to football hell, Matt.  

p.s. He's trying his damndest not to stare at Erin Andrew's boobs right now. Fact.
