Luck of the draw (or not)

 And now a sporadically recurring Blob favorite, What They Were Really Thinking, which today focuses on the NFL Draft, plus dark portents involving a certain quarterback in Green Bay, Wis.:

Zach Wilson, upon learning he'd been drafted by the Jets, as expected: "All right! I'm a Jet!"

(What he was really thinking: "Omigod! The Jets! They've ruined more careers than hotel surveillance video!")

Justin Fields, upon learning the Bears had traded up to draft him: "I can't wait to begin my new life as a CHICAGO BEAR!" 

(What he was really thinking: "Omigod! The Bears! They've ruined more careers than Craig T. Nelson in 'All The Right Moves'!")

Mac Jones, upon learning he'd dropped to the 15th pick, where the Patriots snatched him: "Gosh. I kinda dropped like a rock."

(What he was really doing/thinking: Breaking into Steve Martin's Happy Feet dance while shouting "Woo-hoo! I'm a PATRIOT!")

And finally ...

Almost every GM in the NFL, to his current QB, upon learning Aaron Rodgers is not happy in Green Bay and allegedly wants out: "Not to worry, bud.  You're still our guy. We have absolute faith in you."

(What almost every GM was really doing/thinking: Breaking into Steve Martin's Happy Feet dance while dialing Aaron Rodgers' agent and shouting "Holy s***! AARON FREAKIN' RODGERS!")
