BS SB I: Media Day #2

Continuing with Media Day...five good questions with Mark, who apparently lose his shift button.

Interview with Burnsy Sucks Cock

1. What was your draft day strategy?

my strategy, after i woke up at 5 AM to do the draft and learning i had the number one pick, was to take peterson, then grab the best QB and WR available. from there, i wanted to go for value, regardless of position. i also wanted to take the first TE, hoping to have an advantage at that position all season. i wanted to get stable players, only taking one gamble or two. i remember thinking the most about my WR pick at the end of the 2nd round. it came down to three guys. roddy white, reggie wayne, and steve smith (panthers). i was worried about matt ryan having a sophomore slump and negatively effecting white. i was worried about the coaching changes in indy and if i remember correctly, manning was coming off of surgery and was playing without marvin harrison. i thought wayne would be getting more attention from the defenses and would have a down year. turns out, i should have taken wayne and dominated throughout the season. i knew i was taking a gamble on brandon marshall. he had been hurt and demanding trades during the offseason, plus was suspended the first game, but i remembered him playing really well at times last year and thought he might benefit from garbage time. i also thought fred jackson would be a steal for the first few weeks. both of those paid off. however, anthony gonzalez never played.

2. Any mistakes or regrets this season?

my kickers always seemed to lose to my opponents kicker. i never felt like i got it right until i picked up bironas at the end. i still regret passing on wayne. and there are always start/sits that i wish i could go back and change. most of santonio holmes' good games were spent on my bench. i kept trying to get receivers i could just stick in my starting lineup and leave there to pair with brandon marshall, but kevin smith, steve smith (panthers), maclin, and forsett weren't enough to entice somebody to give me a top-5 receiver.

3. Any smack you want to talk about your chances of winning it all?

don't want to jinx it

4. If you don't win the SB, will this season be a failure?

yeah. my team is loaded. best team i've ever had. i should win. i have the best team. but you never know who's going to go nuts week-to-week. lets just say that if i lose, i'll be really disappointed. ever since i got chris johnson, i've felt like i've had the better team and that my opponent has to have his best week to beat me.

5. Anything else you want to get off your chest?

Swag is an idiot for trading a great running back who was getting better for a waiver wire guy who became the #1 WR early in the season. although addai turned out to be better than we all thought.
