Goodbye, Domanick

Are you aware the NFL season begins this week? On Thursday. This Thursday! Dolphins at Steelers. Culpepper at Roethlisberger. That's 23 letters of starting quarterbacks, people.

I spent a few days in Las Vegas last week catching up, um, on my sleep, and while I was there I did a draft. In round 10 I took Domanick Davis. At the time, it looked smart. I mean, why not take a guy who, a month ago, was looked at by most as a top 10 player. I knew he was hurt, all the experts in the draft did, but in round 10? More than 110 players had been taken, including another Houston running back. In an experts league you know a controversial draft pick is smart when you don't get mocked. This seemed like a decent move.

And today, a mere 48 hours later, it appears I wasted the pick.
