this is my 200 post. small feat, non?
anyway, as i was taking a break in my schedule, i noticed a few things on espn.com. the first was that the texans may be shopping the number one pick. apparently, a team that went 2-14 has a few needs, more than will be cured by landing a hot rb or qb. couple those needs with a recent big $ contract given to a certain qb from bakos that went to bulldog tech, it makes sense to trade away the top pick for multiple things. no surprise there.
the second thing i noticed, well, i was able to notice it. they had a story about vince young, his qb iq test, and how there was some confusion to it. unfortunely, i am not an espinsider. i do not have access to that story. freakin jerks. it's the front page, big header story. and i'm guessing most people who regularly check the page can't read it.

as for the main purpose listed in the name of this blog, i'm hoping to get back to it. now that i've gotten past one of the major assignments of my semester, i hope to spend more time actually attempting to be an artist. my paintings are all dry and waiting for fresh paint. soon, my precious, soon.

Ed, that is the reason I have boycotted ESPN.com (with the exception of Simmons). I still think that the Insider is only there so that they send out ESPN The Mag, which you get for free if you sign up for Insider.
When you mentioned Texas, I thought you were going to refer to this story

... read the 5th paragraph, starting at "Since the draft is quickly approaching..."
I think this is awesome.
From what I heard on talk radio today, someone leaked to the media that VY scored a 6 on that test, but others are disputing the accuracy of that. A 6 is very bad. Most NFL QB's never score lower than the high teens. Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Matt Leinart and others have allegedly scored in the 30's.
Here's a story in a local Texas paper about it:

I'm an Insider, no big news in the story, latest word is that he took it a second time and got a 16 and will take it a third time.
