Gotta love it. I remember you saying something about how you couldn't believe how biased and ignorant Griz fans were for believing Lex would be drafted but this was the only post I could locate. Either way... classic.

Lex and Kroy.....this is fu*king awesome.

Congrats all around!!!

Funny to go back through that post and read some predictions.

Also I've heard that Carp is getting a free agent chance in the NFL too, details will hopefully come out soon!

congrats to the griz on their selections, I'm sure that Lex won't dissappoint!!

GUESS WHO IS JOINING HIM!!!!!

JAYSON FOSTER!!!!!!!!!!

GATA EAGLES Go Griz!!!!

KPAX had Lex on the news last night and he said the Dolphins asked him if they knew Carp, and he said of course, I know him!! LOL

That's cool that they're going to the same place...CONGRATS to both!!! (too bad the Dolphins suck! Sorry, Bill - had to )

Will Lex play FB or RB for the Dolphins?

RB, I believe...

That's cool. I'd like to see him become a Brandon Jacobs type RB in the NFL...

found this:

Miami: The Dolphins did little to help your Fantasy team in 2008. QB Chad Henne may start, but he's not a good Fantasy option right now. And RB Jalen Parmele and RB Lex Hilliard aren't playing over Ronnie Brown or Ricky Williams any time soon. The Dolphins did make two trades over the weekend, getting TE Anthony Fasano from Dallas and giving up RB Lorenzo Booker. Fasano should be a TE sleeper.jamey-eisenberg.blogs.sportsline.com/mcc/blogs/view/6542467

I recal a lot of people in the past saying Lex wouldn't get drafted, mostly the experts who have gifted forsight and know how to evaluate players as well or better than NFL scouts who do this stuff for a living.

Anyway, whatever, Congrats to LEX! And to Kroy, Cody, and any others who might get a shot in one league or another.

Isn't Ronny Brown coming of knee surgery or something, so he is kind of ify, Ricky Williams isn't exactly rock solid, but should be pretty darn good, I would guess. Who knows, Lex may get in there one way or another, or prove himself enough to get looks down the road from other teams. I'm just happy for him for getting drafted, after all his ups and downs, and because he is truely a great person.

Good Luck!

Looks like Lex got #26 and Carp got #1.

Look who's joining the Dolphins along with Lex and Dan.

17 Perry, Tab WR 6-3 208 1/20/82 4 UCLA ‘05 Milpitas, CA UFA, '08 (Cin.)

Gawd, it's going to be hard to try to root for the Dolphins ....

It would be such a cool thing to see Lex and Carps make the team ahead of ol Tab.

My guess is that if Ricky does worth a damn that Parcells trades him. Do you really see him as a Parcell's type of guy?

I don't see RR as a Big Tuna guy, but Parcels has made connections that are more odd. Still, as mentioned he isn't exactly a sure thing, and Brown really isn't a sure thing.

Off topic, and just recalled, so I thouht I'd mentione that I heard a little while back that Procter may, in the near future, in some way or other, become a Dolphin. It was reliable info, but far from a sure thing, as I understood it. (Anyone else heard this, or has it been posted)
I just throw this out there to pass info and to ponder how sweet it would be to have 3 Griz on one NFL team...and a fourth on the edges where he could get leaned back in if lucky.

Regardless, I wonder if R.Brown's knee isn't coming along as well as could be, or if they don't want to take any chance. I kind of like the fit for Lex, I'm sure there are better ones out there, though if there is, I wouldn't be the guy to ask. Miami must have seen something good in Lex, that they couldn't pass up on, and that is great. Go Lex. And as funny as this sounds in my head, Go 'fins!

Looks like it isn't all work, at least for Carpenter....

Kicker Dan Carpenter had the largest catch among players, but Joyce Olsen won tickets to a Dolphins game with the top haul of the day.

Is anyone else surprised that a Montana boy took home the biggest fish among players?

This is a dolphin fish:
