Dubold 2017 NFL Draft Predictions

No, this isn't about the players or teams involved. It's about the City of Philadelphia showing the NFL how we roll. 

1. Roger Goodell gets booed out the building. No way that the designers of the NFL draft outdoor theater DID NOT take acoustics into consideration when they built that erection. This isn't just like the introductory boo Chicago gave. I hope it is to the level of th NHL draft. Also, watch Roger get booed at thenEagles pick, hopefully the crowd cheers at the name, and then boos the notorious Goodell bronhug that follows. 
2. I would love the crowd to boo everybody who isn't the Eagles. That would be incredible. There is a special presenter for the Ravens. A kid with a rare or terminal disease (I apologize for forgetting the name but the kid is brace from what I recall). The crowd WILL cheer that kid then they will boo the crap out of the selection. 
3. The Eagles will not pick a player tonight with a red flag. The city is in that spotlight, one night atop the sports world. I hope the GM and owner and coaches are smart enough to not pick up a woman hitter or accused rapist. You cannot have this event in the city, knowing that #1 and 2 above will happen, and pick a questionable character person. 
4. Rich Eisen will have terrible Philadelphia jokes. I used to like him a lot. I used to listen to his show all the time. Then it became a three hour tedious event to labor through. No thanks. And when #1 and 2 above happen, we will be reminded about snow balls at Santa. Oh and the Eagles play on Christmas this year. 
5. We will be represented by national media coverage as cheesesteak eating fatasses who's greatest achievement was Rocky. That said, tomorrow's talk radio will be awesome and prideful. 

That's it! Deep down I hope the Eagles get Christian McCaffrey or I guess one of those two top receivers. You won't need to resign Jordan "Every Other" Matthews and Agholor can pack his terrible bags and finally catch something: the next plane out of town. I hope for McCaffrey or a top not-acccused-of-rape corner. I will seriously reconsider my fandom if they select Joe Mixon. 

Tonight two birds will rule Philadelphia: the Eagles and the boo birds!

Red eyes and black eyes

 

So an Asian, a plane crew, and some police walk into a plane....

Too soon? The only thing I think I will remember from the recent United Airlines event is the comical screams of the doctor as he was being forcibly removed from a plane. So they offer you money. You don't have to take it. They up. You don't have to take it. They COULD have maxed out at $1,350 but they didn't. I would've taken it. Then they explained why people were going to be selected. Then they called the doctor and told him. Gave him a chance to get off. Then after he is forced out the chair he falls into the seat across the aisle. The screaming stopped because he was knocked out. 

My only question here is why did he scream like a banshee? There are so many outraged people right now it's ridiculous. People need to find the airline guilty of overbooking, not treating their customers like shit.  Unfortunately for the man the airline rules that we all usually agree to were actually enforced. When somebody doesn't want to leave but they need to and you've already kind of sort of agreed to, how do you get the person out? You call the police. 

But alas we live in an era where everybody is a reporter. Everybody wants to be the next big sensation online. There was a scene on the plane and people start filming because they can't mind their own business. Don't get me started on how police are treated or how they treat others these days. You see far more bad than good. The scandal started then more videos came out. People actually recorded video of the man talking to United on the phone and when the bloodied man returned inexplicably to say, "Kill me..." over and over? Why was he acting like a teenage girl on the day of a test who just had a fight with her boyfriend? Keep in mind that since this doctor made a big deal about his exit, "the internet" revealed that this doctor had a strong showing in the World Series of Poker and also he was convicted of a prescription drug scandal recently. So maybe this isn't the nicest dude out there to begin with. If you aren't complying with rules, you need the police. If you refuse to get off a plane after being offered money, and claim to be a doctor or whatever, keep in mind nobody at the time could confirm that, and United had planes that led to the worst attack on our country, why wouldn't police do what they have to do? It's like wearing meat flavored shorts in shark infested waters. 

These events led to people, honest to God, holding up protest signs to boycott an airline that was doing something the man agreed to and needed police to intervene. To make it worse, a couple days later somebody boarded a plan and a frigggin scorpion fell down and stung a passenger. And this morning I read this: https://www.yahoo.com/style/united-airlines-kicks-couple-off-plane-en-route-wedding-181721817.html. 

Read that article. How do you get kicked off a flight because somebody else was in your seat? Oh and also an air marshall kicked them off, not the airline policy. The best is when the father of the bride says they expected something like this in Costa Rica (the destination of the wedding) but not the US? Why? Because those head hunters and cannibals in Costa Rica can't handle normal activity? Maybe your daughter and son acted on better than those barbarians down there. 

I think I hold them more responsible for the scorpion than anything else I've mentioned. You cause a scene that is unnecessary, perhaps this happens: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pofUsd9hEi8. 

Maybe you're the problem, not them.
