Cassel’s Built on Solid Ground

My best friend Erica can be somewhat considered a savior, a hero even. She confirmed with me a few days ago that she will be able to attend the 2009 NFL Draft with me. Let’s get this right:
1. I get to see some of the most potentially explosive players of the NFL future get picked.
2. I get to spend a full day sitting in Radio City Music Hall with a bunch of crazy football fans who won’t question why I’m there, but rather who I think will go first.
3. AND I get to do this with one my best friends who is from New Jersey but doesn’t like the Giants?!
This could quite possibly be the best news I’ve heard in awhile, besides of course finding out that Tom Brady is going to be ready for the 2009 season. She isn’t even that big of a sports fan (we spent Monday nights at McFaddens so that I could tutor her on football terms/rules). Folks, this is what true friendship is about. It’s those times when you sit thorugh events even if you could care less. It’s sitting at an auto shop for a few hours to keep your best friend company while her car gets fixed. It’s bringing her coffee in class because she woke up late/couldn’t find parking.
I’m looking forward to this. If you’re going to the draft, look out for me in my Doug Flutie Pats jersey and Erica in some form of a Jets jersey. Why a Flutie jersey? Because although there are people that hate the Patriots, NOBODY hates Doug Flutie.
DOS ON THE MADDEN COVER?
Is this a rumor? Or is it the truth? People have been telling me that for the upcoming Madden ’10, they are considering putting two people on the cover. Can someone please confirm this for me? Furthermore, everyone knows about the Madden Curse and that’s not even my concern. First of all, if it is Larry Fitz on the cover, no curse can stop him…unless of course that curse is the Pittsburgh Steelers defense, then that might be a problem (too soon?). I just don’t think it would be a good idea marketing wise. I don’t know about you all, but being the sole person to grace a video game cover is a pretty epic …
