I just enjoy the people-watching aspect of fandom.  Last season we were going to take the NFL by storm because while the other teams were running their mouths we were calm and quiet and confident and under the radar.  One year later Joe Burrow and his "I'm already a champion" swagger is going to be the key to taking the league by storm.  Fair enough.

I remember the Sample pick. I'm no draft guru by any means, but I think I do a good enough job looking into prospects at positions of need to at least recognize most of the common names through the draft. And if I have to go, "WHO?!" when someone is drafted, that's not typically a good sign.

I said, "WHO?!" when Sample was picked.
