My boy Ryan Mallett

Unfortunately, I've been so busy at work that I haven't had a chance to keep up with the NFL draft and potential rich black guys. However, my boss sent me this article regarding Mallett missing a meeting with the Panthers who have a top 3 pick because he was either sick or "sick." Now, let me tell you something about Mallett, he maybe an idiot sometimes but the kid loves GREEN (not bud) more than a jewish stockbroker. This is first hand experience. I've known Mallett since he first enrolled in to UM as a first semester HS graduate. We randomly met at my frat party and I walked into my room to grab some cups and he was there alone staring at my #15 jersey (which was my Steve Breaston a year before). He asked me if this was mine and I replied yes. Then proceeded to ask me if that was my favorite number and I said yes (at that time I was a big 'cuse Melo fan and he wore #15). Afterwards, we went down and played beer pong and became good friends. He got drunk with us like every athlete does and mind you I was an athlete myself at the time. He wasn't outrageous, he was just another drunk college kid at UM. He was loyal also, which I was surprised. Most QBs think they're the best and only they should garner any attention or loyalty from others. But, no. Mallett saw me in a hostel situation and corrected it for me. I was thoroughly surprised and it really brought us closer as friends. I gained a whole new amount of respect for him as a person. People told me I should expect selfishness which he showed to the public, but in reality he's one of the most loyal people I've ever met.

He will be a good pro QB, he is a natural leader, and he is a little naive. But, come on. He's 22 years old. What do you expect? He needs time and a couple years backing up a mature veteran who can teach Mallett how to handle himself in public and the  locker room. Whoever passes him off is an idiot!!!
