"Draft Day" starring Kevin Costner.
Every Year Someone Comes Out of This Looking Like a Donkey
Come on, Tom. Say it with me, you pancake-eating motherfucker.
Anthony Molina: Ray, remind me. Where were you picked? First? Second?
Ray Lewis: 26th. It still hurts.
Anthony Molina: Oh. Well, that's good too.
Sonny Weaver Jr. : No one can stop a ticking clock. But the... great ones, the great ones always find a way to slow it down.
Wow. Just. Wow...

Wow. Just. Wow...“Less is more? NO NO NO - MORE is MORE!”

Yep...I covered mostly high school football and basketball for my newspaper. But one of the perks was that the local pro sports teams (Dodgers, Angels, Rams, etc.) would send us PRESS PASSES for all kinds of games. So one day, the sports editor held up two press passes for the Angels vs. Yankees at Angel Stadium and said, "anyone want these?" I said, "sure, I'll take them." I pulled out an old 120 camera they had laying around, and invited a friend (who wasn't even a reporter) and he became the photog and I was the writer. It was great--we had access to the field pre and post game, to the press box, the lounge. Don Drysdale, who was announcing for the Angels at the time, walked by us. On another occasion, I got tickets to the Dodgers vs. Yankees in the 1977 World Series. Good times...

Sonny Weaver Jr, "What else do we need?"
Ali Parker, "Special teams. Putney! Get Putney!"
Sonny Weaver Jr, (on the phone) "I want my picks back, and I want David Putney. I need a punt returner."

- Wolfe also detailed an ongoing competition between two of the team's most important players. The competition, which was inspired by the steep hills players trek up after every practice in Spartanburg, is one that could pay off nicely for Carolina all season long. "Haason Reddick and Brian Burns have bet whoever gets the most sacks this year, they won't have to walk up these hills for training camp next year because they'll get a brand new golf cart," Wolfe reported. "Haason Reddick and Brian Burns have been working on their pass rush moves before practice, they want to motivate each other but the true motivation may be this prize."
Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
The Wasted Decade is done.
Build Back Better.

Though it still applies to the Chargers, in Draft Day it was a punt returner not a kicker.
