The Michael Crabtree Ordeal Is All Mel Kiper’s Fault

Could the Michael Crabtree situation have been avoided?
You’re absolutely right it could have been.
If it wasn’t for Mel Kiper’s useless “Draft Big Board,” Crabtree would be suited up for the 49ers and reeling in Shaun Hill dump-offs.
I had finally begun to cope with watching NFL Live year ’round on ESPN. It was out of control and a major waste of programming but I had finally convinced myself that it was legitimate to be discussing potential draft picks a full year in advance. But then Mel Kiper had to go out and doom the San Francisco 49ers by putting Crabtree on his Mock Draft at No. 6 to the Cincinnati Bengals.
Just think, had “The Hair” simply put Crabtree at No. 10 to the 49ers or for that matter never made a mock draft at all none of this would have ever happened.
ESPN needs to put Mel Kiper in check. His opinions are amounting to real life catastrophes and putting silly ideas in “college educated” athletes’ heads.
The, “I should be paid No. 1 WR dollars because I should have been selected higher…” is insane logic.
If you were taken 10th you should be paid 10th pick dollars.
Here is my 2010 Payback Big-Board:

A (Tough) Love Letter to Brett Favre
Published: August 14, 2009

Brett Favre is slowly but surely becoming my least favorite athlete of all time. Maybe it’s the sappy Wrangler Jeans commercials, maybe it’s the constant “man crushes” performed by announcers, and maybe, just maybe it’s because he has thrown more wobbling ducks for interceptions than any quarterback of all time.
Fact is he’s overrated.
Dear Brett,
If you hadn’t ended your career, some die-hard 49er fan (maybe me) would have gone Tanya Harding on you and ended your walking career—permanently. Thank you for waking up and smelling the cheese.
Your time as an above average quarterback in the NFL is, in fact, over.
We all know you were class, class, class on and off the field. Your Monday night game against the Raiders was all-time entertainment. Heck my mom almost shed a tear.
But Brett, when you are only being considered for a starting job in Minnesota, it is time for you to hang up your spikes and take a long walk off a short pier.
Your fans in Green Bay are starting to have doubts about their golden boy and for good reason; you betrayed them with your stunt in N.Y.
Have some decency man.
Your fan base in Wisconsin chokes on bratwurst every time they have to read your name on ESPN’s bottom line.
Walk away Brett. Just turn around and walk away.
Love always (never),
Football Fans Everywhere
