Sports writers will tell you who the team is going to pick. You find out they're clueless. They don't know anything. Part of it is you have to also anticipate what the other teams are going to doWho's available but a lot of sports writers know nothing about the game I assume. And then after the draft they grade the team they give someone says draft was a C plus, which is hilarious to me. So my question is do you read any of that and I want to make it a little broader. Have you ever learned anything from an amateur is there any ever been a column that your wife shared with you or that for a buddy shared with you?
