2008 NFL DRAFT LIVE BLOG

This is the spot where the PFT Mock Draft Live Blog will convene at 3:00 p.m. EDT.  So scroll down and enjoy.

PFT PLANET CONSENSUS MOCK DRAFT

This is the place where we’ll be holding our first (and most likely last) PFT Planet Consensus Mock Draft.  We’ll be posting each projected pick based on what the readers have to say about who the next pick will be.

We might use the poll feature, even though it crashed the official PFT Commodore 64 when we used it during the playoffs.  (The Cover It Live guys always enjoy it when we say nice things about their product.)  And we’ll be posting any and all humorous comments that you submit.  Or the comments from Taco Bill. 

Who knows?  Maybe there will even be a Dante sighting.

The experiment gets underway on Friday, April 25, at 1:00 p.m. EDT.  And it’ll unfold in that Cover It Live box thing down there.

Week Fifteen Live Blog: Bears at Vikings

Hey, we’re back for another second-by-second live look-see at the game.

But we’re confused. It’s late in the season. Isn’t ESPN supposed to have a crappy game? What’s the deal with having a game with playoff implications?

Week Nine: Ravens at Steelers

What time is it?

Time to call out the head coach for screwing up the play-calling.

What time is it?

Time to start a feud with an old teammate.

What time is it?

Oh, crap. It’s game time, too.

Any dogs in the house?

No, but there are plenty of pills that belong to my family members, not me.

Any dogs in the house?

Week Nine Special: Patriots at Colts

It’s a Super Bowl atmosphere for a game that never could be a Super Bowl.

Patriots at Colts. Game on. At 4:15 p.m. EST.

Enjoy the early games for now. We’ll get rolling a few minutes before the real game starts.

We’re getting closer to the big game. As mentioned in the Rumor Mill, Marvin Harrison, Tony Ugoh, and Freddy Keiaho are out for the Colts.

Game on.

Week Eight: Packers at Broncos

With the Rockies on the wrong end of the World Series sweep, the Denver faithful can now focus their efforts on . . . a mediocre football team that could be 0-6 just as easily as it is 3-3.

We’ll be posting random hoo-ha throughout the day as we prepare to get focused at around 6:00 p.m. or so with the start of the ESPN pregame SportsCenter and then, an hour later, the airing of Monday Night Countdown.

We’re specifically looking forward to the amount of time spent talking about two teams that aren’t playing on Monday night — the Pats and the Colts.

Week Seven: Colts at Jaguars

You’re early again. Don’t you have anything else to do? We’re not ready for you just yet.

But, if you insist, we’ll post a few things here throughout the day, just to give you a reason to interrupt your otherwise busy schedule by wasting some more of the boss’s time.

Week Six: Giants at Falcons

Tirico hires a replacement to handle tonight’s looming snoozefest.

 

We’re getting another early start (it’s now 12:33 p.m. EDT) on the festivities. Actually, we just wanted to say hello to anyone who was so bored on a Monday afternoon that he/she would actually poke around on a Live Blog that doesn’t go live for another six hours or so.

Tonight’s game could be the first official MNF snooze-a-rama of the year. But who thought that last week’s game would be any good?

We wonder if Mike Vick will watch some of the game. It’s not like he has anything else to do between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.

Okay, it’s 6:30 p.m. and we’re now rolling.

We’re catching up via TiVo on the ESPN SportsCenter, and there was a classic moment between Stu Scott and Steve Young.

After video of some guy in a Giants jersey beating some guy in a Falcons jersey in arm wrestling, Stu was spewing some nonsense about how last week the guy in the Cowboys shirt won and Dallas went on to win the game and so that must mean the Giants will win the game.

Week Six Special: Patriots at Cowboys

SUPER BOWL XLI-I/II LIVE BLOG

Randy catches the trophy after T.O. drops it.

Welcome, PFT Planet, to our comprehensive coverage of what we’ve dubbed as Super Bowl XLI-I/II.

It’s a historic matchup in Texas Stadium, with two 5-0 or better teams meeting up for only the fifth time in league history. With the also 5-0 Colts idle, the winners will have their asses crowned as the best team in the league.

We’ll get rolling right before kickoff. Until then, we might throw some stuff up here from time to time.

(Some of our readers in London have let up know that they’re happy about the special Super Bowl XLI-I/II Live Blog, since the Monday night games are played in the middle of Monday night/Tuesday morning on England time.)

Week Five: Cowboys at Bills

 

 

Hey, you’re early. This thing doesn’t get rolling until 7:00 p.m. EDT or so.

But maybe we’ll throw some stuff in here throughout the day. Just for you and all other folks who are so frickin’ bored at work on a Monday that they’re clicking on links that aren’t even supposed to be active yet.

Week Four: Pats at Bengals

It’s another Monday. Or, as they say in Ocho Cinco’s adopted tongue, Monday-o.

Pats at Bengals. We’ll be posting some stuff as the next 90 minutes unfold, and we’ll be hitting full stride as soon as Hank Williams reminds us all who he is, bitch.

Did Boomer just say the crew featuring Emmitt has “very few weaknesses, if any”?

Is that the same Emmitt who said that Wade Wilson is doing a great job as the coach of the Cowboys?

In an effort to look more feminine, Michelle Tafoya is wearing donuts in each of her earlobes.

Tafoya reports that Pats running back Laurence Maroney is inactive. (Did John Clayton say he would start?)

(Continue reading)

Week Three: Titans at Saints

 

It’s Monday. It’s Monday night. So it’s Monday night football.

Even Emmitt can figure that one out. We think.

Here we go with the Live Blog thang. We’ll update from time to time over the next 90 minutes, and get it rolling fast when the game starts at or about 8:30 p.m. EDT.

Suzy K. is Suede Tuscadero tonight.

Week Two: Redskins at Eagles

Jaws tries out some new glasses.

 

We’re baaaaaack. Live Blog. Monday night. Goes together like peanut butter and spaghetti sauce. Or something.

We’ll be adding in some random crap until the top of the 8:00 hour, then we’ll get it moving fast.

(Continue reading)

Week One: Cardinals at 49ers

Hey, Mr. Impatient. The second game doesn’t start until 10:15. Go back to the other blog. There’s nothing to see here yet.

Okay, we’re finally here. And we’ve already concluded that Mike Greenberg is awful as a play-by-play man. Girl. Whatever.

Reader: “Greenberg probably wants to talk about all of the Johnsons from the other game.”

(Continue reading)

Week One: Ravens at Bengals

Oh yeah. Week One. Ravens. Bengals.

What time is it?!

Okay, are you trying to be Morris Day?

What time is it?

(Continue reading)

Week One: Saints at Colts

 

Holy crap — it’s finally happening. After seven months of everything but real football, real football is back.

And so are we with another Live Blog. So find your favorite chair, but your laptop on the top of your lap, and get ready to hit F5 all night.

We’re off to a good start with reader comments: “I think I found two of Mike Vick’s dogs . . . they’re hiding inside Kelly Clarkson’s ass.”

Folks, John Mellen Cougarcamp is on right now, and he isn’t signing Our Country. We didn’t realize he had any other songs.

Cougarcamp still looks like Brodie the bootlegger.
