Word from the White House to the mainstream public is that the President plans to award a Medal of Honor to Tiger Woods for winning his fifth Masters. Not getting political, but if the President invites you to the White House, go. You don't have to respect the man; respect the office and position.
I bring this up because my wife could be, might be in line for an award. Everyone on planet earth knew that the NFL Draft began at 8:00 PM last Thursday night on four different channels. Shall we pause for a moment for some background information. The Brannum household enjoys watching TV together. My wife blocks out time on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday to watch her favorite shows that start at 8:00. When I informed her that the draft is tonight, she smiled and said, "I know" as she grabbed the remote and finished up with a comment that it is Thursday. Being a veteran of three marriages I knew what to say and do, and I did it. We watched NCIS. Now I did get to grab the remote and flip between down moments in the show. She didn't get upset when the draft stayed longer than the allotted commercial time slots, but my blend of her shows and the draft went well. On Friday and Saturday we went 24 / 7 with the draft and she never complained. She made comments about players who got drafted — which shocked and surprised me. Was she studying information behind my back? Was she cheating at work and following reports online about the ins and outs about the draft? Her saying things like 'he should help Green Bay' and 'why him' made me want to check her DNA. She made a draft meal for the two of us and never made any sarcastic remarks about it being so sad that the draft didn't have more rounds and last until Sunday night so she could miss some more shows.
So, good people, if the gentleman, with the orange hair who lives on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC wishes to give an invite to my wife for an award for her performance during the NFL Draft, we are going even though my closet is full of skeletons.
I told her that it was going to be interesting to read and listen to how negative the Detroit talking heads would be about the Lions' draft. Like I said, it takes about three years to see if the fruits of one's draft bears good fortunes. I can tell you that I like the direction that the Lions are going as they have a plan. Some experts like their plans as others say same old Lions with no teeth, no claws and no roar. Some feel that the Lions didn't do enough to combat the addiction which the Bears, Packers and Vikings tallied. Many of the talking heads joke about the Lions following the lesson plans of the New England Patriots and I say so what if they are as a wise person should emulate success. Go for it Lions; restore the roar.
Have a warm and happy week.
