Mel Kiper

After awarding ourselves a YLLAGDDI Award for not posting for a full week, we'll get back on the horse with a pretty timely topic: ESPN's NFL "draft guru" Mel Kiper, Jr.



Dude has a seriously inflated ego for having a gig that only requires him to work one weekend a year. Here are some other folks that only work one day or one weekend a year. I mean, its not like the guy ever was a NFL G.M., head coach, or even a scout. And yet somehow he is considered the great prognosticator of all future NFL talent. He has a fundamental misunderstanding that even though that his "Big Board" might have a player rated lower or higher, some teams must draft for "need," not just "value." Beyond that, the abomination that is the man's hair style is nearly unrivaled.

Thankfully, we now need not concern ourselves with this man's feckless rantings until this time next year.

Mel--Fat Elvis called, he wants his hair back. Also, what's with the name Mel?

The Texas Leg (pronounced ledge) does not get to work one weekend every year. It is a crucial part of the Texas Constitution that we only let those bastards meet once every two years.

Mel: Melvin? Melchizedek? Melanoma?

I was actually gonna have a sentence linking to famous Mels (the 2 spice girls, Torme, Ott, etc), but I forgot in my eagerness to make fun of John Mayer and Kerry Fraser.

Fashion for Mel stopped in the opening scene of Wall Street. Mel's hair, his glasses (when he wears them) his suits, it's all 1987.

If he was that good, he'd be a GM
