Florio Needs To Get More Sleep

If ProFootballTalks Mike Florio really believes the Bucs will select California center Alex Mack in the first round, Florio really needs a nap or a health evaluation.

If ProFootballTalk's Mike Florio really believes the Bucs will select California center Alex Mack in the first round, Florio really needs a nap or a health evaluation.

Joe loves Mike Florio’s ProFootballTalk.com and goes there several times a day. Joe was fortunate to run into Florio at Super Bowl Media Day and he was as kind as can be to Joe, which only reinforced Joe’s opinion of him.

Sometimes, however, Florio is so far out there Joe has to take exception. For example, Florio is still beating the drum that Chucky will wind up at Notre Dame if not Tennessee.

When Joe reads this, he’s convinced Florio needs more sleep. Joe has noticed at times Florio posting past 1 a.m. and then posting again at 6 a.m. And Florio also has a law practice.

(Sure, Joe too posts in the wee hours of the morning, but at least he’s not posting again until at least 7 a.m.).

This morning, Florio posted his own mock draft. Joe is of two minds about mock drafts: he will never have one or participate in one but Joe also confesses to enjoy reading them.

That written, Florio’s pick for the Bucs with the 19th selection is…

California center Alex Mack.

Hey Mike, far be it from you to take advice from Joe. After all, Joe has only taken a couple of law classes (and passed both if you can imagine). Joe doesn’t pretend to be a physician or play one on TV. But Mike, you really, really, really need to take some time off and get some sleep.

Of all the needs the Bucs have they should draft a player for their strongest unit, offensive line? Shoot, Mel Kiper’s prediction of drafting Kansas State quarterback Josh Freeman makes more sense than this.

    I agree with Justin. Florio is the gossip queen of the NFL. The best website regarding the NFL and evaluating talent besides the actual NFL site (NFL.com) which has Mike Mayock (who is the best), is the National Football Post. I can’t wait until February 28th either. I may chime in as well.
