to simulate the sound of bees?

what about a kazoo? similar sound, less annoying. probably cheaper.

someone in a different thread mentioned the crowd should start buzzing. imagine 19k people buzzing at the same time. that would sound awesome.

I'm obviously not breaking any ground with this claim but I love Gervais's standups.

The first round is pathetically long. Each team getting 10 minutes is the dumbest freaking thing ever.

Skip Bayless is freaking out every time Manziel isn't picked, he is so irritating sometimes, maybe more irritating than Adam Schefter's voice

Watching Manziel slide is getting more dramatic by the second.

I hope they do. Their defense is absolutely atrocious, and to spend their first rounder on Manziel would be hysterical

Lol drafting an OT is almost as mind boggling as drafting Manziel would have been. One of the worst defenses in the history of the league and you draft an offensive linemen. Alrighty!

who do you guys want for the panthers? i dont watch college football, so these are just names to me. i was surprised to see all those teams in the top 10 that desperately need a QB pass on some of the QBs. i guess they are aiming for the 2nd round.

Brandin Cooks, Kelvin Benjamin, Morgan Moses..

As long as its an offensive tackle or receiver I could just about care less

Its pretty much a lock that its a OT unless Cooks is there.

Panthers will pass on Benjamin

it wouldnt be the end of the world if we drafted a CB would it? not sure who is out there that would be worthy of a 1st round pick though.
