I owe football fans everywhere an apology.
I will not be live blogging the NFL Draft today.
For the last three years, I have been at the NFL Draft in Radio City Music Hall. I will not be at the 2009 NFL Draft.
For reasons only I care about, my trip to New York got screwed up. I could watch it on television, but the UCLA Book Festival is within walking distance to my home.
Yes, I am still a heterosexual alpha male. Yes, I am skipping the NFL Draft to go to a book fair.
I am going to sell MY book. Sheesh, it’s not like I am going to read books. Making money gives me an exemption.
I will offer Draft analysis on Sunday, not Saturday.
Until then…
In political news, I recently did four radio shows. I was being interviewed for my new book, “Ideological Bigotry.” Go to my main home page and buy it. The podcasts are below.

Joel Goodman sent me a hilarious faux Obama quote regarding the piracy issue.
“Wait a minute now, I didn’t authorize ATTACKS on the Pirates!
I authorized A TAX on the pirates.”
Ok, off to go sell books. Hopefully next year I will be wealthy enough to never have to miss another National Football League event ever again.
Five months until kickoff.

WOO HOO!!! The J-E-T-S got SANCHEZ!!! And for a STE-AL!!! We have a QB!!! Let the games begin!!!
Meanwhile…
Not to rub it in, but…
What the heck was Davis thinking with that God-awful pick??? A speedster with no hands??? What? Is he planning on unretiring The Mad Bomber??? Lamonica’s probably better at 68 years of age than what they have now! They’d better start Garcia, because they’re gonna need some serious accuracy to get it into H-B’s hands! What the heck, Al??? Is there a doctor in Oakland? Someone please prescribe Davis some Aricept! Hey Al – I hear Madden’s free, better sign him back up, it would bring you another 20 years closer to the modern NFL!!!
