...Demarcus Ware? Shawne Merriman? No crazies we picked Troy Williamson, the speedster out of South Carolina who caught 91 passes in his 2 years of college life. I wish i could have been in the draft room with Tice when he brought his laptop out and said - hey guys, we pick in 10 minutes and i was browsing this thing called the internet that my wife showed me last night. Look at this, let's take this kid!
Well we all know how this worked out. The most Troy has done in his brief (and soon to be over) career is alert the media to the travesty of not giving a player his game check when he disappears for a week for his grandmother's funeral...let's be real, Troy didn't earn his money, so fuck his game check, and with all of that signing bonus, i'm sure it's no trouble for him to be out a game check when paying for his family to attend a funeral. In the real world people earn the checks they are paid, or they are fired. We could have traded that pick for a gardener and gotten more production in his three years at the dome. We could have invested that money in Enron and atleast come out of that draft with more public sympathy. We could have done a lot of things, but we didn't, and now we must move on.
On the day he is cut, i will be throwing a party, which i will pay for with my weekly check
