not-another Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 My friend sent me this article. Is it true? I know it is old news, but well hell.The Cincinnati Bengals surprised draft analysts – and potentially continued their history of poor first round picks – when they selected not USC QB Carson Palmer with the No. 1 overall pick in Saturday’s NFL draft, but MTV VJ Carson Daly. The surprise choice came when Bengals president Mike Brown left his 14-year old daughter, Cassie, unattended at the Bengal draft table in the minutes before the No. 1 pick was to be submitted.“Cassie had overheard me talking about a hot, young prospect named Carson and she must have assumed we meant Carson Daly, the MTV ‘TRL’ host,” said Brown. “So when Tagliabue came by for our pick she submitted his name. I just wish I had been at the draft table instead of in the john.”Daly, 29, was not listed by any draft analyst as a projected pick and has never played organized football. The 6-foot-2, 193 pound MTV celebrity and NBC late night “Last Call” host does have NFL size and is said to have above-average 40 speed for an on-air personality.“All things considered, I don’t think we ended up in too bad of shape when Cassie made our selection,” said Brown. “Carson Daly may not contribute on the field immediately, but he is a marquee name for some of our fans. I don’t think Bengals fans would have any reason to be upset with the pick.”Cassie Brown, for one, is very pleased with the pick.“I think Carson Daly is totally hot,” she shrieked. “I watch him everyday on ‘TRL.’ He is, like, so cool.”Daly said he was honored to be chosen with the first pick and is already planning to get “Bengal orange” highlights in his hair, in addition to painting his fingernails black and orange.

Bobcat Bengal Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Cassie Brown, for one, is very pleased with the pick.“I think Carson Daly is totally hot,” she shrieked. “I watch him everyday on ‘TRL.’ He is, like, so cool.” This sounds like something you'd say....So this isn't a rumor...it's something you probably conjured up.Nice effort though.
