It's Christmas, and It's Drafty In Here!

If you haven't seen Christmas Story the movie, rent it or netflix it. I always think of the movie when I hear Andy Dalton being called the Red Rifle. The story is about a kid who wanted a Red Rider B-B Gun, which is a rifle. The answer was "no" from his mother because "You could put your eye out with that thing!" So how many of us are going to put our eyes out with our picks this year? Just like the kid who doesn't get his picks, are you going to throw a fit? Maybe it is the best thing for you and you don't know it yet. How many Bengals kids were happy to get a Shiny new Akili Smith that year, or Ki Jana Carter. How excited do you think Patriots fans were when they picked the Lovely physical specimen of Tom Brady as a backup to Drew Bledsoe? How excited were you about picking up Sanu or Marvin Jones that year. My point is that if we are really smart, we might want to wait and see what any of these guys do on an NFL field in the regular season for a couple of seasons before getting too worked up, one way or the other. But it is something to keep us busy, visions of sugarplums to carry us over until the season starts. So here it is, Who is your Red Rider, and who is your lump of coal? PS- If you apply enough pressure to coal, it turns into Diamonds---Fact.
