But i'm rooting for all our guys there are things to like about all of them.
Absolutely! The more I hear, the better I like them.
Ultra Zaney punter.... CHECK, only think that could make it better was if he was an Irishman, with gambling and drinking issues.
Ah! Another one who misses Danny Baugher. Getting into a fight when drunk is good -- getting into a fight with your Dad is classic.
Baugher pleads not guilty day after release by Pats - NFL - ESPN
"The day after being cut by the
New England Patriots, punter
Danny Baugher is alleged to have turned his anger and frustration on his 54-year-old father. Baugher, released by the team on Aug. 29, has been charged with assaulting his father, Erle, in a fast-food parking lot at 4 a.m. on Aug. 30, police said. Police said Danny Baugher, 23, was drunk at the time and told them that he "was released by the New England Patriots [Aug. 29] and he was not handling it very well," according to a police report obtained by the Boston Herald."
Of course, when it comes down to it, most Aussies are just Irishmen with sunburn and they carry on the proud tradition. It takes a lot to be known as the "bad boy" of Rugby League. But Craig Gower certainly deserves the prize:
"He was fined for breaking the curfew with the New South Wales squad ahead of the 2004 State of Origin game and then came the incident he is best known for: his stag night in December 2005, based around the Jack Newton Celebrity Golf Classic at the Twin Waters Resort on the Sunshine coast in Queensland.
As the drink took over the authorities later heard that he 'groped' the 17 year-old daughter of rugby league legend Wayne Pearce. He then chased Pearce's son, Mitchell, in a threatening manner before vomiting over him, streaked around the resort, drove a golf buggy across the greens before wrecking the cart and held a butter knife to the throat of an unnamed Sydney radio personality."

In fact, Craig-o has now switched to Rugby Union. Remember that bit about the golf buggy?
BBC Sport - Rugby Union - Andy Powell removed from Wales squad
"Wales have dropped Andy Powell from the national squad following his drink-drive charge after an alleged golf buggy incident. The back-row was arrested with another man at 0540 GMT on Sunday at services off junction 33 of the M4 near the team hotel in the Vale of Glamorgan."
You've got to love the BBC, don't you? "Alleged golf buggy incident" indeed! Bill Murray got arrested for that too, but I don't suppose he can drop it inside the twenty. Craig has a heck of a hoof on him for a little fellow, though, so he's a possibility. Andy plays in the forwards, so his feet are strictly for stopping him falling over.
Like you, I've got high hopes for Mesko. But it's got to be said that his immediate predecessor set a high standard for zaniness (and flat-out stupidity). I don't think Hanson was even drunk when he tried to chop his leg off.
Kicker slices leg with locker room prop | Deseret News (Salt Lake City) Newspaper | Find Articles at BNET
"The Jaguars punter needed surgery to close up a gash on his right, non-kicking, leg Thursday after he miscalibrated while using an ax to hack at the massive tree stump that coach Jack Del Rio placed in the locker room a few weeks ago. Del Rio used the stump as a symbol for the mantra he has adopted for the Jaguars (1-4) this season: 'Keep chopping wood.'"
Oh, and my binky?
Mr Zac Robinson.
No one else has chosen him yet, but I remember being impressed with him on some pre-draft interview. It's tough being a QB who goes from being "the guy" in college to having to struggle against all sorts of factors outside your own control to make it at the next level. Except for the lucky few, it's a big, big struggle. Zac struck me as a level-headed but determined guy, aware that the odds are stacked against him, but confident and ambitious.
So there you are. Sorry, Zac, mate! You're DOOMED! Still, if ever you need someone to buy you a beer while you look back on your short career with the Pats, I'm your man.
