The Second BSD Mock Draft will begin Monday morning.

§ The Category? Professional Wrestlers

§ The Order? Gutsy, Publius, Laz, The Colonel, MJ, and Mighty.

§ The Clock? 3-4 hour window. Gutsy begins 10am, has to 2, etc. This is designed to keep things moving but not designed to be excessive. If you have a time conflict, just email your pick (it takes 5 seconds) and write the funny paragraph later

§ Comments thread—for smack talking

§ Draft Thread—for drafts. See title.

§ When in doubt, ask Commissioner of Draft (Publius). Do you understand?

Prepare your boards… let’s enjoy ourselves, perfect the art of smack talking, and make sure the pictures are hilarious.

Before moving onto the important task of cheering and jeering, federal law dictates disclosure of side effects. Cheers and Jeers (CJ) is not for everyone. Tell your doctor about your medical conditions and all medications, and ask if you're healthy enough for sexual activity. Don't take CJ if you take nitrates, often prescribed for chest pain, as this may cause a sudden, unsafe drop in blood pressure. Don't drink alcohol in excess (to a level of intoxication) with CJ, as this may increase your chances of getting dizzy or lowering your blood pressure. CJ does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV. The most common side effects with CJ were headache and upset stomach.

Cheers: The NBA playoffs loom… In the East, the Pistons look good. The Wizards are done for the season, the Heat’s playoff future rests on Wade’s health, and the Cavs are looking to make the jump into the elite of the east. Let’s not forget about a talented Chicago squad. The addition of Big Ben has made a tremendous impact.

In the West, the usual suspects (Suns, Mavs, and Spurs) are the top dogs. Utah started strong but has faded. I see the future… many game seven series!

Cheers and Jeers: PacMan Jones and the NFL get double cheers and jeers. First, PacMan is a thug with anger problems. Sporting News did a decently balanced piece on his past and future. I hope he cleans up and can earn a living in the NFL.

To the NFL, I hope the league does not go the way of the NBA (See picture of David Stern above). Punishment is part of the solution. The best arguments for college sports, a) a few years to grow before the big bucks, b) strong coaching personalities who can teach team skills and life skills, c) structure. Jeers: to the NFL for punishment first to defend reputation and sponsors. Possible cheers if the league takes a hard look at trying to work with the young men who have off the field issues. We need to find the balance between baseball (Steve Howe’s 9 chances) and the immediate suspension policy.

Jeers: To snow in April, pitchers on the DL, and writers who claim April MLB wins mean anything. Who wants the nickname of Mr. April over Mr. October?

A special jeers:
