NFL Draft 2013 - It's finally here!

It's finally here, Day 1 of the 2013 NFL Draft!! While the talent in this years draft is not as exciting or talented as last year's crop, I am still excited none the less. I am rooting for my Notre Dame boys for sure, especially Manti Te'o and Tyler Eifert. Eifert is predicted by some to go in the top 10, I can't remember the last time that happened (I am guessing it's been ages). Also for the first time in a long while, Notre Dame could have two first round picks in the first round in consecutive years. After Michael Floyd and Harrison Smith went #13 and #29 overall in 2012. Some other talented Irish players who look to fair well in the draft are Cierre Wood RB, Theo Rissick RB, Braxton Cave C, Kapron Lewis-Moore DE, and Zeke Motta S. I remember a few short years ago watching and hardly any Notre Dame players were drafted throughout all 7 rounds. My how the have made strides.

I was watching the 30 for 30 the other night on the 1983 draft with John Elway and Dan Marino and was intrigues to learn more about the history of the NFL Draft. I came across a great article on Bleacher Report detailing the history of the NFL Draft since it's inception in 1936. See the link below.

Things that make me laugh - SNL Outside the Lines with host Melissa McCarthy

Last night SNL and host Melissa McCarthy had a slam dunk of a skit mocking the Rutgers basketball coach controversy. While she will always be Sookie on the Gilmore Girls to me, last night Melissa played abusive basketball coach Sheila Kelly to perfection. Sheila being a parody of former Rutgers basketball coach Mike Rice, but far more crazy and abusive. My favorite part is when she is driving the golf cart around the court chasing the girls around.

Well played Melissa, well played.

Look of the Day - Olga Kurylenko in Elie Saab

In continuing with my love affair of Elie Saab, today's Look of the Day is Olga Kurylenko at the Oblivion premiere in Moscow. She is wearing an amazing and sophisticated floral-appliqué fit-and-flare Elie Saab dress paired with nude patent pumps. The color and appliqué detailing of the dress are stunning on her. She wisely paired this sophisticated look with a half up do with side swept bangs, minimal jewelry and makeup letting the dress steal the show.
