Life on bottom all fun and games 
By David Vobora 

Editor's note: Former University of Idaho linebacker David Vobora, the 
last pick in the NFL draft, has been dubbed Mr. Irrelevant and will be 
feted this week with a variety of events in Southern California. Following 
is Vobora's first report as Mr. Irrelevant:

Ladies and gentlemen it is my distinct honor and pleasure to have you join 
me for an all-exclusive look into the fabulous life of the man with the 
infamous title of Mr. Irrelevant. Now, where to start? Since the draft, my 
life has been anything but normal. In the past three months my life has 
carried around more buzz than an old woman who doesn't know her hearing 
aid is all the way up. The media attention has been rather paparazzi-ish 
and wonderful. Who would have thought being the last pick in the draft 
could be so glamourous? 
 
The life of Mr. Irrelevant XXXIII is not all fun and games ... oh wait, 
yes it is! So without any more delay, I will stop trying to write a Nobel 
prize-winning introduction because, let's be honest, not everyone can put 
it together like Jim Meehan. I just hope Jim edits this and will make me 
look good.

OK, I flew down to Newport Beach, Calif., on Sunday, where the pilot of 
the plane announced my presence and I received a standing ovation. It was 
a bit awkward to suddenly have the entire plane staring at you, but also 
sweet. I was escorted to baggage claim where there was a giant "David 
Vobora Mr. Irrelevant" sign and 20 screaming people wearing clothes and 
hats that were exclusive Vobora "I-week" gear. I was able to meet the cast 
of awesome people who amazingly put this thing together. I met the famous 
Paul Salata, founder and head-honcho behind I-week. Paul may be the 
funniest man I've ever met, and there will be many great stories on the 
way. 

While waiting outside baggage claim for my "shuttle," a jaw-dropping 
million dollar burnt orange Lamborghini pulled up for yours truly. After 
driving around Newport for about 30 minutes, I now felt what it was like 
to go 130 mph in third gear (my apologies to any law enforcement people 
reading this). ... Yeah, truly no words to even describe what it felt 
like. Also, I might add that this car must have been installed with a 
special device. ... I am not a mechanic, but I believe this particular 
ride was equipped with a special magnet. What is the name of this magnet 
you ask? It is a very special imported magnet entitled the "chick-magnet." 
Magnificent! I should probably get one of these magnets installed in my mo-
ped or something. … Anyway, I am getting yelled at because I've got to be 
on time with my date at Disneyland today. ... I am sorry I couldn't get 
through more at this point. ... I've got the entire welcoming party and 
some other amazing stuff as soon as I make it back to my computer! Stay 
glued to the blog and the excitement will grip you!
