Forget Kevin Costner's Hollywood epic
The NFL draft is like no other event in sport as it provides suspense and excitement without there even being a definitive winner at its conclusion. Fans will cheer or boo their team's choices before they even see them in action for another four months.
Such is this irrationality that if one franchise stands out as the NFL's biggest prospective champion, it's the Cleveland Browns who quite clearly pulled off one of the biggest steals in the draft, picking Johnny Manziel with the 22nd pick.
Coincidently, Kevin Costner's new film Draft Day follows the Browns in their struggles at the draft, but with all the twists and turns of last night, there are no comparisons.
Johnny "Football" Manziel was clearly the star of this show as his explosive and evasive style of football made him an intriguing prospect to watch, not to mention his off the field personality which has galvanised a large following of fans.
What made Manziel's night so intriguing was that after that first pick was made, he could have gone anywhere and there would be a case for it that no doubt made sense for any team.
The first real shock of the night came at the third pick, where London's part time team, the Jacksonville Jaguars selected Blake Bortles, a quarterback from Central Florida. Who is Blake Bortles? Well with all eyes on Johnny Football, no doubt many Jaguars fans were asking the same question. At 6'5" he fits the more stereotypical pro quarterback but with all the buzz around Manziel, Bortles was expected to go at the lower end of the first round, not at number three.
Then one by one, all the quarterback needy teams DeAndre Hopkins Womens Jersey appeared to shun http://www.texansofficialproshop.com/Nike-Brooks-Reed-Jersey.html Johnny Football. Buffalo, Oakland, Tampa Bay, and Minnesota all passed on a player widely regarded as a franchise changer. What makes Cleveland's selection look so good is that they had the chance to pick Manziel at number eight, instead opting to go with cornerback Justin Gilbert. A risky move that not only Cleveland was making.
Packers get the last laugh with DeAndre Hopkins Jersey Ha Ha Clinton DixOnce through the initial 13 picks, Manziel was subjected to the cruel reality that his stock was far less regarded than all the hype had predicted. With a camera permanently pointed on the young quarterback whilst Roger Goodell called every name out but his, this was a moment that proved to be uncomfortable watching.
When the Cowboys came on the clock at 16, twitter was in for a meltdown. The unification of Johnny football texansofficialproshop.com/Nike-Kareem-Jackson-Jersey.html with America's team seemed too good to be true, but Jerry Jones showed restraint, opting not to add the player who had made a name for himself in the Cowboys state of Texas.
Rex Ryan and the Jets with the 18th pick were amongst the teams to opt against using Manziel's services. New York has been attempting to shed its circus label ever since the Tim Tebow trade, and with Michael Vick and Geno Smith already on the roster, this decision seemed obvious if the team was to stay a respected franchise on D.J. Swearinger Kids Jersey draft day.
The big move of the night came at number 22; originally Philadelphia's pick (where there was a legitimate argument for Manziel's use in Chip Kelly's office). It was at this stage on the board that a bidding war for Manziel began to play out.
Minnesota had opted against drafting Johnny Football at number nine, hoping to trade back into the first round later on to pick up the Texas quarterback. This proved costly as the Browns offered more than the Vikings were prepared to give away, the 26th overall pick and the 83rd.
Minnesota picked up Teddy Bridgewater, a quarterback from Louisville with the final pick of the first round but whether this selection was made voluntarily or out of necessity remains to be seen.
For Cleveland, they nabbed a player who has the ability to change their franchise around, something they are in dire need of having played in one playoff game in 20 years.
Browns fans now have the face of the franchise they've so desperately needed. But with all the brilliance Manziel's has shown on the field and the excitement he has conjured up off it, he remains a prospect and unproven.
Where he was eventually drafted was clearly exactly what teams believed he was worth. Despite all the hype surrounding his abilities, he's not D.J. Swearinger Navy Jersey a stereotypical pro quarterback and therefore wasn't worth a top first round pick. Cleveland and their GM Ray Farmer got their man but didn't give up too much in the process, playing the draft exactly how it should be played.
History however is not on Cleveland's side. The last two quarterbacks the Browns selected at number 22 were Brandon Weeden in 2012 and Brady Quinn in 2007. Third times a charm couldn't be more applicable.
County sheds more light on medical pot license applicants
Clark County has shed more light on who is vying for a limited number of lucrative licenses to move newly legalized medical marijuana from seed to sale.Business application details released by the county Monday offer a closer look at the 109 companies applying for pot licenses, highlighting a broad swath of politically and financially influential entrepreneurs looking to get in on the ground floor.They include the following: Mark James, a former state senator and Clark County commissioner, who is listed as majority owner of LVMC LLC, with five open applications: two for cultivation facilities, two for production operations and one dispensary. Former Henderson Mayor Robert Groesbeck and former Henderson Councilman Larry Scheffler, part http://www.texansofficialproshop.com/Nike-Johnathan-Joseph-Jersey.html owners of MM Development, which applied for three licenses: a dispensary, a production operation and a cultivation facility. Sig Tom Savage Jersey Rogich, a Las Vegas power broker and former senior aide to Presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush Sr. He holds a 5 percent stake in Deeproots Medical LLC, according to the documents. Former casino owner Gary Primm and his son Roger Primm each have 22.5 percent stake in the company. A company called Global Harmony, which lists NFL Hall of Famer Jonathan Ogden, a former offensive lineman with the Baltimore Ravens, who lives in the Las Whitney Mercilus Womens Jersey Vegas area, as a 3.3 percent owner.Meanwhile, one notable who has decided not to join the scramble for medical marijuana riches www.texansofficialproshop.com/Nike-Duane-Brown-Jersey.html is Oscar B. Goodman Jr., an oncologist and son of Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman and former Mayor Oscar Goodman. He told the Review Journal he has withdrawn from a company that wants to open a medical marijuana dispensary."Originally, I thought this was a great opportunity from a research perspective, but I understand this business to be more than that," Goodman wrote in a series of emails. "As an oncologist and prescriber, I felt that it was a conflict of interest to be in the position of participating in a business."As of Monday evening, the Nevada Secretary of State website still listed Goodman as a manager of the company, and Goodman wrote that he was waiting for the page to reflect his withdrawal.While dropping his bid, Goodman said research and dispensaries could help determine "which patients are most likely to benefit from medical marijuana, symptom relief wise" and whether there exists "any evidence of therapeutic benefit in the treatment of cancer, a concept proven in the test tube and lauded by proponents of natural cannabis products."State legislation that went into effect on April 1 provides for 40 medical marijuana facilities in Clark County. County commissioners have said they plan to clarify exactly where they will be located.Ordinarily, state regulators would look to split the county and state approved facilities evenly among Southern Nevada municipalities, but a six month medical pot moratorium adopted by Henderson city leaders in January seems to have thrown a wrench in those plans. Clark County commissioners could vote today to adopt a new model and change how the facilities are allocated.The county agenda item notes that under Nevada statute, commissioners may vote to change a jurisdiction's share of facilities in order to ensure that the more populous areas of the county "have access to sufficient distribution of marijuana for medical use."Commissioner Steve Sisolak said the county would pick up eight dispensaries under a population based distribution model, while Las Vegas could gain one.North Las Vegas would lose six medical pot facilities under the plan and Henderson should it take a pass on the green rush would lose out on five.Mesquite would be in line for one medical marijuana license, while Boulder City has already opted out of the pot business.Sisolak didn't rule out a takeover of facilities foregone by other jurisdictions, a move that would see more than half of Southern Nevada's medical pot growhouses, dispensaries and testing facilities fall outside city limits."It's unreasonable to give 44 Tom Savage Kids Jersey percent of the population 25 percent of dispensaries," the District A commissioner said Wednesday. "I think the only reason (the statute) wasn't written that way in the first place is that they didn't know Whitney Mercilus Youth Jersey who was going to opt in or out."This week's agenda item goes on to note that state officials have "tentatively indicated" their support for the proposal.
Pick of the week
We probably better off not working too hard to interpret Michael Rowe claustrophobic, erotic, ships in the night drama
This Johnathan Joseph Youth Jersey is a work of almost ascetic severity, shot entirely inside the Mexico City apartment of a freelance journalist named Laura (played by the marvelous M del Carmen). But somehow Year uncovers an entire world, recounting a sweeping psychological narrative of a woman descent into delusion, sexual obsession and self destruction and then her voyage out again. Focusing on the details of everyday life with a camera that rarely moves, Rowe manages to make Laura story both gripping and dramatic. Cinephiles will surely recognize the influence of, say, Yasujiro Ozu, Chantal Akerman and Roman Polanski here, along with the sexual frankness of and European film, but it Johnathan Joseph Navy Jersey not like you need a graduate degree to absorb this simple, direct and almost wordless tale. (Several critics have compared this to Tango in Paris, and while I guess that inescapable it not fair to either film.)
Year won the Cam d at Cannes last year (given to the festival best debut film), and many people were startled to discover that a film that seems so steeped in the subtleties of class, race and culture in Mexico was directed by an Australian. His central character, Laura, is a bit of an outsider too, even if she looks stereotypically Mexican. She a dark skinned mestiza (meaning that her features and physique look more Indian than European), short in stature, with a curvaceous frame. But she also an educated, middle class professional who has left her home village in Oaxaca far behind. She spends her days doing piecework journalism on the Internet, and her nights either masturbating while watching her married, affluent neighbors across the street or bringing home men she never see again.
There a sharp distinction between Laura life as she like to imagine it and as it really is, something I expect everyone who ever lived on their own in a big city can identify with. She tells her mother she having dinner with a friend when she watching TV, and that she cooked a steak when she having beans out of the can. For one of her lovers she spins out an urban fantasy about her apartment building: How she sometimes has coffee with the older couple who live downstairs, or takes the kids from No. 6 to the fair when their parents are busy. None of it true; as far as we can tell she doesn even know those people. But at least she talking to this guy. We never see the face of the first guy she brings home (Juan Manuel Sep camera stays focused on a cockroach scuttling across the floor, perhaps too symbolically), and the second one Duane Brown Navy Jersey only speaks when he calling to reassure his wife that he on his way home.
The one she ultimately talks to is the first one to volunteer his name, Arturo (Gustavo S Parra), and he the tall, imperious, European looking type that Laura clearly prefers. Rowe has said that the racial element of the story is important, and it certainly a definitional element of Mexican life, albeit one that usually isn discussed. He also likes it rough, and while we just talking about R rated kink at first (spanking and so on), Laura likes it and is eager for him to push further. A whole lot further, as it turns out, further than Arturo necessarily wants to go. The Duane Brown Womens Jersey sex scenes in Year, by the way, are explicit and realistic, but a bit detached and not purposefully alluring. (This also isn sex, in the sense of those quasi pornographic French art films.) Sep camera remains at a distance, whether Laura and Arturo are screwing or role playing or just snuggling on the sofa, which is where they break the real taboo between them.
Rowe point, as I take it, is that the real danger for a solitary urban woman like Laura is to reveal your need and loneliness, your desire for an intimate connection that will break through the atomized, depersonalized landscape. Letting a guy you barely know whip you with his belt will leave some bruises, but those will heal in a few days, while the consequences of emotional vulnerability can be genuinely catastrophic. Let me reassure you that while Year goes to some profoundly troubling places, it www.texansofficialproshop.com/Nike-Whitney-Mercilus-Jersey.html not, in the end, some utterly dark fable of misogyny or nihilism. Arturo is a cipher or a mystery Laura doesn learn much about him, and may not want to but he isn a monster, and there a desperate, haunting tenderness to their story of uncontrollable love and its ending.
Year is now playing at the Cinema Village in New York, and opens July 1 at the Laemmle Sunset 5 in Los Angeles, with more cities and DVD release to follow.
Lena Dunham
The actress, who'd been a lightning rod for both praise and controversy on the back of her comedy series "Girls" in http://www.texansofficialproshop.com/Nike-Tom-Savage-Jersey.html 2012, rung in 2013 with a pair of Golden Globes for best actress in a comedy and best comedy series. She's nominated in both categories again, but Season 2 was a far less universally accessible thing; it went, in its 2013 season, from a show addressing the general malaise of Greenpoint post grads to an exploration of a very particular protagonist. She also wrote for the New Yorker a lot. Russell's comedy "Silver Linings Playbook." In 2013, she played to her strengths: After winning an Oscar, she starred in the second "Hunger Games" movie, on whose publicity tour she managed to charm everyone in America, and had another role in a David O. Russell comedy, "American Hustle," for which she might just win ANOTHER Oscar. By 2014, she may end up running a major studio, or serving as president.
