A friend at work shared this and it was too good to not share with you!
Today, the Lions released Daniel Bullocks, the last player remaining from a 5-year stretch of drafts. That's 0-for-40. Here's what became of them all, and I warn you, it's not pretty. I'm not going to name names (to protect those involved), but see if you can match up the fates of those 40 picks with this draft history: 2002: •Spent 4 solid seasons with Detroit. Traded for a 5th round pick. Hasn't played since 2007. •Out of the league. •Currently thriving in Denver. •Never played an NFL down. •Caught 5 passes in his 3 years with the Lions. •Out of the league. •Never played a down. •Out of the league. •Played one game in 3 years. 2003: •Legal troubles, character issues, washed out of the league in 2005. •Had a few good years in Detroit, now out of the league. •Started every game for four straight seasons. Then went to a good team, and doesn't start anymore. •Out of the league. •Out of the league. •In the CFL. •In the UFL. •Out of the league. •Cut by a CFL team. •Never made a team. •Never made a team. 2004: •Consistently underachieved. Now consistently underachieves in Dallas. •Had great rookie year. Never equaled it. •Had excellent rookie year. Never started again. Reigning UFL champion. •Started 5 games in 5 years with Lions. •Out of the league. •Played in Arena Football, CFL. 2005: •Spent 2 years with Lions. Traded as part of a package for a 4th round pick. •Spent 4 "meh" seasons with Lions. Left as a free agent. •Out of football. •Is Dan Orlovsky. •Managed to play 8 career games without recording a tackle. •Died in a motorcycle accident. 2006 •Had a good stint. Traded. •Injury-plagued. Released. •In the CFL. •Solid few years, after the Lions cut him. •Never played a down. •In the UFL. •Out of the league. From five consecutive drafts, I count only two unqualified successes: Andre' Goodman and Ernie Sims. And of course, neither is plying their trade in Detroit anymore. Just remember this list next time Matt Millen appears on your television, getting paid to analyze football. Spike: Hey Mattie, I just sniffed your butt and I like what I smell!
Mattie: Spike, I've told you once already, I have a delicate stomach and you are making me want to go eat grass! Spike: Aww, Come on baby! You know Spikey Dee is bug free! Mattie: (Retching in Throat loudly) Spike: Hey, I'm not a mongrel, I don't just want to get in your Furpants! Mattie: Talk to the tail cause the face ain't listenin!!!! Mattie (2AM): I want a drink of water.
Mattie (2:01AM): I'm thirsty, can I have a drink of water? Mattie (2:02 AM): GET ME A DRINK OF WAA-TER!! Dean: ok Mattie (2:12 AM): Excuse me. Mattie (2:12:15 AM): Excuse me, sorry to wake you. Mattie (2:13 AM): No! I will not lay down! I gotta pee! Mattie (2:14 AM): {Jumps off the bed}...or....I could pee on the floor! Zoe: Go Ask Dean! Dean: mumble, huh!, what?!, mumble?! FRAK!#&#! Alright, already!! Mattie: Oh yeah, Oh yeah, gonna get that coon tonight!! Mattie (2:16 AM): Okay, I'm done! Let me in. Mattie (2:16:22 AM): zz zzz zzzz, snore, snort, ahhh! Dean (2:45 AM): Hope I can get back to sleep before work. Generally when I am feeling dark and depressed I have to pull myself out of it by actions and by moving in new directions. None of us, not ONE is important in life. I don’t say that to depress you further but to help you see things differently. Our only importance is in how we impact each other as decent human beings. Our self aggrandizement, the way we are now taught that we are all “unique” is a disservice to our existence and contributes to suffering. Happiness comes from acceptance, and maybe even forgiving that life is not what we expected or want, but simply is what it is. Philosophers, prophets and other thinkers waste too much time feeling miserable, looking for answers to the riddle of life, instead of simply living, day by day, hour by hour and detaching themselves from the terror of existence.
You need to concentrating on breathing, not on sniffing the flatulence of life! Indeed has come to be an emphatic statement of agreement so perhaps outdeed is an emphatic statement of disagreement.
Outdeed! (you are full of crap!) I walked over to the vending machines at work and discovered an unopened Mountain Dew sitting on the floor. Suspecting a trap, I did a quick swivel-headed look to the right and left. Deftly, I grabbed the Dew just as a 100 ton anvil crashed through the floor. I wondered why there was a red "X" under the bottle!
