The Olympics are right around the corner, Friday to be exact, and we can't wait to see the red, white and blue go berserk on some foreigner asses. And while we're confident in Team USA, regardless of sport, we know America would have a definite edge over the competition in the individual sports if we used our biggest, strongest and fastest athletes available. In other words, we need to totally revamp the Olympic roster and use nothing but NFLers. Here's how things would look, according to NE Patriots Draft.
Fencing - Travis Henry
He's pretty good with his sword, if you know what I mean.
Sailing - Matt Birk
He's a Viking, so boats are right up his alley, plus he went to Harvard.
Sprint Events - Devin Hester
No pads, no defenders, give him the gold.
Long Distance Events - Kenyatta Walker
He's got Kenya in his name right?
Shotput/Discus - Vince Wilfork
Holds the state record in Florida for the Shot, throwing it 68 feet.
Wrestling - Stephen Neal
Two-time NCAA champ, beating Brock Lesnar his senior season.
Diving - Reggie Bush
Nobody flips like this guy, gotta work on the landing though.
Swimming - Mario Williams
Best Swim move in the league.
Synchronized Swimming - Peyton and Eli Manning
Just a fun mental image for you and the whole family.
Boxing - Tom Zbikowski
Duh.
Kayaking - Chris Cooley
No reason, just thought he was the only NFL'er that could make me watch Kayaking.
Who would have ever guessed that Chris Cooley and Dale Earnhardt Jr. would be like two peas in a pod? Certainly not us, but, of course, we'd be dead wrong. Turns out the fellas have been buddy-buddy for over a year now and the bond runs so deep that Cooley actually named his dog Dale Earnhardt Jr. Now, if that's not respect and admiration then nothing is.

[Mr. Irrelevant]: Cooley and Dale Junior Are Seriously BFF
Chris Cooley got married to a babe the other day and the wedding party looked like quite a blast. After all, it's not too often that you get to see a giant-sized man dance around in white pants, a black vest and pink tie. But would you expect anything less from the man known as Captain Chaos? However, if you ask the best man about Chris' big day, it really doesn't sound all that exciting.
I do know that the groom's day went as follows: picked up tuxes, packed for the honeymoon, paced around, watched groomsmen play guitar hero, paced around, backyard football, and finally driving to the place after some pacing around. The rest of the day seemed like an incredible blur of events.
Here are some highlights:
* The Reverend decided to kick things off a little behind schedule and almost had to meet with some groomsmen in the back room.
* The wedding planner now needs high blood pressure medication.
* People took pictures like free ipod nanos.
* We ate dinner ala banquet style only better food.
* There was the cake cut, garder pull, best man speech, and dancing til the lights turned on.
