\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: He wasn\u2019t drafted yesterday, the openly gay Michael Sam<\/a>, and now there\u2019s panic throughout the media wondering if he will be. Don\u2019t doubt me on this. He\u2019s going to be drafted.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s gonna get drafted today. I just hope it\u2019s by the Redskins. (interruption) What are you shaking your head for? Anyway, he\u2019s gonna get drafted. There\u2019s no mystery to this. He will get drafted. (interruption) I was not surprised it took 22 picks to get to Manziel. In fact, the homeless made the pick in Cleveland, did you hear about that? The owner of the Browns, Jimmy Haslam, a man I have met on the sidelines in Pittsburgh when he was a partial owner of the Steelers, said that a homeless guy in Cleveland told him — this is according to Sal Paolantonio at ESPN.<\/line><\/p>\n

Paolantonio reported this somewhat seriously, somewhat as a joke, but he said the owner of the Browns, Jimmy Haslam, said a homeless guy told him to draft Manziel. And from that Haslam assumed that the Cleveland fan base wanted Manziel so he went out and got Manziel. So I think the Browns need to hire this homeless guy and put him in charge of the pro player personnel department. ‘Cause his demand was met. (interruption) No, I wasn\u2019t surprised that Manziel took a while. I\u2019m not surprised at anything that happens in the draft.<\/line><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t care what they tell you. It\u2019s all potluck. I mean, you look at the first-round draft choices over the years that don\u2019t make it. I mean, for all the expertise and all the time they put into it, you\u2019re still talking about human beings, and, despite what every thinks, everybody\u2019s different. And no matter how you test people, and no matter how you try to categorize them, no matter how you psychoanalyze \u2019em, do all this — in fact, who was it? The Browns spent a hundred thousand dollars on a psychoanalysis of some player and it came out good and they ended up not taking him. I think it was the Browns.<\/p>\n

The idea that anybody knows for certain — I mean, the best draft in the history of the National Football League was the Pittsburgh Steelers, 1974. Nobody\u2019s gotten close to that draft before or since. Well, it was Lynn Swann, Jack Lambert, Mike Webster, five of those draft picks are in the Hall of Fame. That\u2019s just never happened before. I don\u2019t mean to be leaving people out. I\u2019m just having a brief mental block here.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Uh-oh. Uh-oh. CBS News out of St. Louis<\/a>. An unnamed NFL executive has been quoted, he\u2019s unnamed, and it better stay that way — an unnamed NFL executive quoted as saying Michael Sam “is not a really good athlete.” (gasping) No! Whoever that guy is, he better hope and pray that journalist is willing to go to jail to protect his sources. Ohhh, man, because Michael Sam wasn\u2019t drafted yesterday. And that means he\u2019s going to be drafted today. No matter how it happens, it\u2019s gonna happen. I said I hope it\u2019s the Redskins.<\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
