You’re going to end up in a situation that is unbelievable," Ryan said. "You are going to have an opportunity to play in the NFL whether if you are picked one, 10, 15 or 20. It doesn’t make any difference. You’re going to remember it for the rest of your life. Have fun with it.

Matty Ice EQUALS

Reporter: How will you address all of the dropped passes?

Mike Smith: I don’t think that we were as sharp as we have been catching the football. It’s something that is very fixable. It’s VERY fixable.

Hmph, you let me down Franky...

Here I was envisioning a picture of sex and you mention some bogus God thing. Way to ruin my mental image of Matty Ice = seckz.

It doesn't make any difference??

I understand the point, but it sure seems easy for him to say “doesn’t make any difference” as a QB picked #3 ($34.75M guaranteed). #10 Jarod Mayo – $13.8M guaranteed. #20 Aqib Talib – $8.2M guaranteed. I couldn’t find contract details on #15 Branden Albert, but you get the idea…

I think Matty Ice said that

While rolling on a pile of money and laughing.

But I think that's what distinguishes Matty Ice

Sure, the money angle is important. It’s a business and you have to get the absolute best for your services. But Ryan absolutely loves the game and you can see when he’s out there playing. Having a love for your work is something that is very rare, even if its doing something as awesome as playing football. It drives you to want to play better. I’d much rather have a player who wants to win because he loves the game than a player who is freakishly athletic but just wants to get paid.
