The Detroit Lions surprised a lot of people tonight by drafting Nick Fairley with the 13th pick in the NFL Draft. Surprising for two reasons: 1. The fact that Fairley was still around at No. 13; and 2. They already have a dominant defensive tackle.
But here's the thing, in a 4-3 defense, you play two defensive tackles, and now the Lions have the two most dominant defensive players in the last two college football seasons at those positions. This is a good thing. A very good thing. It's also a really fucking scary thing for opposing running backs and quarterbacks.
In honor of our new defensive vice overlord, here's a list of things I'd rather do than try to run the ball on Suh and Fairley:
- Watch the Royal Wedding
- Root for the San Jose Sharks
- Eat six-week old sushi
- Have dinner with Orly Taitz
- Try and stop a Zdeno Chara slapshot while not wearing a cup
- Take a trip to Egypt with Lara Logan
- Go to a Nickelback concert
- Stick my hand into a bag of glass shards before masturbating
- Vote for Sarah Palin
- Watch Chris Berman call highlights on a 24-hour loop
- Request the "Brian Engblom" next time I go to the barber
- Give Charles Barkley a rimjob
- Purchase Pistons season tickets
- Bang Snooki
- Give up scotch
- Be on this show
- Have unprotected sex with Tila Tequila
Did I miss anything?
