Bears #1 Pick: Gabe Carimi!
A Pick that should make both Badger & Kristin Cavallari happy:
1. Kristin gets protection for her future husband
2. For Badger, someone to root for- a fellow badger and, like Scarlett Johansen, a fellow member of the tribe:
From Wikipedia:
Carimi is Jewish and very committed to his religion, and found time as a youth to both go to his football practices and to attend Madison's Temple Beth-El, a Reform synagogue. By the time of his Bar Mitzvah, he was already so tall that while blessing him, and even with Carimi bending down, the synagogue’s education director had to put his hands on Carimi’s shoulders rather than atop his head. For his Bar Mitzvah project, he helped build a house for Habitat for Humanity while he was in seventh grade. Carimi continued his Jewish studies even after his Bar Mitzvah.
In his freshman year of college in 2007, when Yom Kippur (the holiest day of the year in Judaism; a fast day that is the "Day of Atonement") fell on a Saturday, he fasted until an hour before the Big Ten Conference opener against Iowa started that night. Carimi said, "Religion is a part of me, and I don't want to just say I'm Jewish. I actually do make sacrifices that I know are hard choices.” At the 2011 NFL combine, when asked whether he would play on Yom Kippur in the NFL, he responded: "I already looked out over the next 15 years, and Yom Kippur doesn't fall on a Sunday."
He is nicknamed "The Jewish Hammer" or "The Hammer". He explains that as The Hebrew Hammer was taken "they had to come up with something else", and that the "hammer" aspect refers to his penchant for throwing opposing players down on the field. One of his favorite Jewish football players was a former Badger, Matt Bernstein, and he looks to 49ers former offensive linesman Harris Barton as a role model.

So far, he seems like a great fit for da Bears!
QBs Drafted in First Round Last 10 years
2001- Michael Vick (#1 overall) Next qb taken was Drew Brees with the first pick of the second round.
2002- David Carr (#1 overall)-bust. Somehow still in the league as a back-up.
Joey Harrington- bust. Overrated in college. Remember Oregon's Heisman campaign for him.
Patrick Ramsey- somehow still in the league.
2003- Carson Palmer (#1 overall)- would love to see him on a decent team next year.
Bryon Leftwich- injured, alot. Still, don't think he would have been a great one anyway.
Kyle Boller- the reason that some teams stayed away from Aaron Rodgers.
Rex Grossman- When "Sexy Rexy", he was good. More often, he was "Gross, man!"
2004- Eli Manning (#1 overall)- even with JP Losman, 2004 was very good year for first round QBs.
Philip Rivers
Ben Rothleisberger (sp?)
J.P. Losman
2005-Alex Smith (#1 Overall)- bad, bad pick, and I said it back then!
Aaron Rodgers- Has won as many Super Bowls as Favre has for Green Bay!
Jason Campbell- still in the league
2006-Vince Young- I still think he is a winner. But, hard to defend him with his off the field shit. Where will he play next year.
Matt Leinart- ah, chicks seem to like him.
Jay Cutler- Bears: "Jay is our quarterback."
2007-JaMarcus Russell (#1 Overall!?!?) Vomit. Drafted largely because of 1 good game against a crappy Notre Dame team! BAD.
Brady Quinn-Speaking of Notre Dame! When Cleveland gives up on you.....
2008-Matt Ryan- nice pick!
Joe Flacco- I know HM doesn't like him, but very serviceable.
2009-Matthew Stafford- better than Joey Harrington. Injury prone thus far.
Mark Sanchez- Have to give him some credit for his playoff success in his first two years.
Josh Freeman- I bashed this pick when it was made and he has been pretty darn good. So maybe Vikings fans should take some delight in my bashing of Christian Ponder- b/c I don't know shit.
2010-Sam Bradford (#1 Overall) Nice job as a rookie.
Tim Tebow-the jury is still out. But better than Brady Quinn!!

Happy Birthday Jay Cutler
What do you get someone who is engaged to a lovely lady (besides a full-time PR person !)?
How about a tackle that can actually protect him! More on Bears pick, Wisc OT Gabe Carini later today.
With the 12th Pick in the Draft, the Minnesota Vikings take...
Christian Ponder!! HM screams "WHAT!?!!", falls off his chair and then bursts into uncontrollable laughter.
I actually watch ACC football and have seen a decent amount of Christian Ponder and Florida State. At no point in any of those games did I ever think that Christian Ponder was first rounder, and especially a top 12 pick!!! Late second rounder, maybe. Apparently the Vikings were attempting to trade down and take Ponder later. Central division rivals should not over-celebrate as I have to believe that the Vikes will sign a veteran (Ponder is not starting game one, right?) and McNabb is a real possibility.
Ponder makes it four QBs in the top 12 picks, mirroring that great "Year of the QB" draft in 1999 (actually 5 qbs in the top 12 that year)!! That year- Tim Couch, McNabb, Akili Smith (vying with Ryan Leaf and JaMarcus Russell for the biggest draft bust ever), and Culpepper. The fifth QB taken that year- Cade McNown!!!!!!! Well, at least Tim Couch is married to Heather Kozar. Viking fans have to hope that this "Year of the QB" is better than 1999.
