***Avant is my new buddy?***

[Gonzo]

All you guys are going to run me over the coals for this.
He was good today.
He was supportive of the team and his QB.
Maybe he finally gets it.
I have a ? after the title in case he says something to make me retract my statement.
Yes.........I'm drinking.
Fire away guys.

[Fran the Man]

You said it yourself Gonz...you've been drinking.
Consider yourself run over the coals and lets see how you feel in the morning.

And trust me, he's still a moron.

Of coarse I am supportive I help build this team. Nobody on Topix has been more coach friendly then me.
Who has talked of a new contract more then me for childress?

Plus the players I say draft are stars in the NFL.

Do you know what the definition of a "Buddy" is?

Thanks Fran.

So how about Brett favre? Would you admit he has made this team better than T Jack has? Shiancoe and Sidney would sure so.

No prob Gonzo. Sometimes I wake up the following morning after a bender and think to myself; "I didn't really say/do that, DID I?

It's kind of like what I've said a few times over the years;
"Never been to bed with an ugly woman, but I've sure woke up with a few!"

Drinking can make a fellow say and do some pretty dumb things...

Hey buddy! I'm already thinking about next years draft. This is why I pick stars. Sorry Tebow isn't on my list I know you want him but we don't need a tight end. Shiancoe is better then what Tim Tebow we be. Doesn't matter what Tony Dungy says.

This is 2009 Gonzo, buddy is so 70's. You can be my Friend.

Brett Favre had to prove to me he still had it. His Glitz and glamor didn't make me forget about the last pass of his JETS career.

He has proved he can play and along with my draft choices Peterson, Rice and Harvins, we can win a superbowl.(check the archives)

HMMMMMMMMMM..........

We already did that.....awhile ago.

Here's what we came up with:

Viking stuff, Their talking about drafting Johnson
As it stands, the franchise lacks a “face”– the one player that can make a difference for the team and get fans excited. Johnson could be that person, much in the same way Randy Moss energized the fans. Suddenly, Tarvaris Jackson has someone to build his career around and the Vikings offense goes from boring to interesting.
If I was in the war room, I would offer the Bucs Option A – 1,990 value points vs. 1,800. According to the chart, the Bucs could more than justify the move to their fans. For the Vikings, it could be the move that turns the tide of fan apathy and ignites a spark that will carry over into the 2007 season.
It can be done. The only question facing the Vikings draft gurus is how big of a “value” are they willing to give the Buccaneers?
Trade up and get Johnson, that's the deal guys.

Yes.

A funny joke at the time I thought.
On auto draft 'cause of work, came on FROM work to see my last pick, decided to draft an Avant just for fun 'cause I figured I'd be close to where i'm at now.

But then....it got worse!

Troll infestation, can't win a game and my "amusement" picks......TERRIBLE!!!

I won't joke around with a black cat crossing my path again.

Hell...this very thread I started will probably 'cause me some grief!

P.U.I.= Posting Under the Influence!

LOL! I actually had that coyote love thing going where my arm was stuck and I wanted to chew it off!
I finally got away in the morning time (about 26 years ago) and had to walk down a really big hill in the below freezing temps and light snow to get to the main road where I could catch a bus home. Waited nearly an hour for the damn thing and it never showed then, I realized......it was SUNDAY!... NO BUS!

A great learning experience it was.

[Stubby]

Gonzo, by any chance were you drinking Everclear? Avant is your BFF! That's worse than coyote ugly. At least with an ugly women you get some lovin with the lights out. With Avant the lights are always on.

Look at post #3. "I help build this team". And later "I pick stars" and even worse "my draft choices". He starting to fantasize they he is part of the Vikings decision making. While the rest of us talk about who we'd like the Vikings to draft he talks about who he is drafting.

He's delusional Gonzo. Take the 12 steps for the rest of the season as it clearly impaired you judgment.

I guess thats one of the good things about getting older,
The times you wake up in the morning and roll over and go; YIKES!!!
get fewer and fewer.

I guess I'll sign in now myself. . .lol

You were here on draft day Gonzo. On draft day my pick was Adrian Peterson while you were drowning your sorrows in Beer because of Brady Quinn.

Time proves I was right and your pick is the worse QB in football.
Quinn can't even start at home.

This summer if your have an old Beer can you can trade it for Brady, but make sure there's no warm beer left. You don't want to overpay.

Yes Stubby, I help build this team. The vikings have drafted the players on my draft card the past 4 years.

One of my great picks was Desean Jackson. The viking didn't listen to me and Gonzo, Magnum Man, Fran and Childress laugh. They said he's too small.

The vikings need another playmaker or 2 on offense. Stay tuned. I'm doing my college football homework as we speak.
