Sixth-round pick Tony Gilbert, a linebacker from Georgia, was actually watching the draft in church when he saw his name pop up. “I was just watching and praying that everything was going to work out,” Gilbert said. “I just thank God right now.”

I have never been to a church that had ESPN.

I laughed at that too Jim. I figured he must have snuck in one of those hand-held tv's.

Pretty funny stuff though.

Go Cards!!!

Hmmm...hadn't thought about that one. This is definately a question that one of y'all attending camp need to follow up on.

In the church itself or in an adjoining church hall?
