The Musings of a Giant Idiot

the Miami Dolphins select Jake Long, T, University of Michigan. No position is a lock to be productive but tackles, running backs and defensive linemen are usually the best bet to make an immediate impact. Long is the first offensive linemen to be taken first since Orlando Pace was the first pick by the St. Louis Rams in 1997. Now that the first pick has been decided we get to watch or listen to the endless speculation on what the Rams are going to do with the 2nd pick. I am also interested in how much time goes off the Dolphins clock when the draft starts on Saturday. I am sure ESPN will want at least five minutes to pass so the roundtable can discuss the pros and cons of the pick and give Chris Berman (I could do a whole post on his tired shtick) enough time to come up with another stupid nickname.

A couple of times a week I am going to post my favorite movie scenes. This is not a cheesy top 10 or top 5 list because for me that would be impossible and I have enough favorites that this list is just about endless.

The first scene is the classic opening speech from the 1970 movie Patton. A little trivia about this scene, George C. Scott did this entire speech in one take. Scott won the Oscar for best actor for his portrayal of General Patton and the movie was the best picture winner also.

There is mild language in this scene.
