    This is so grimey...yet funny
    per S.I.:

    [The Rutgers wide receiver was on the edge of his seat late in the first round, with the Bengals on the clock at No. 27, when his phone rang. The voice on the other end of the phone identified himself as being from the Bengals, and said Cincinnati was about to pick him. Sanu and those in his draft party exploded in excitement, and agent Mike McCartney even tweeted that Sanu was a Bengal. Then Cincinnati pick Zeitler.

    "This is a great kid, I guarantee you, and someone played a cruel joke on him,'' McCartney told me. "It is unreal that someone would do that, but it happened.'' Sanu told McCartney after the draft not to worry about him, he'd be fine, and some team will draft him and get a good player. McCartney's right. Sanu must be a good kid, to respond to something that hurtful with an attitude so hopeful.]

    I think Donte Stallworth and Al Haynsworth did something like that to each other on draft day

    That's quite funny really, but not if the prankster is never identified. Then it's cruel.

    WTF, that was so damn cold-hearted. You've gotta have mental problems to think a prank like this could be funny.

    He'll get drafted today so hopefully he'll be able to forget this idiot move quickly.

    Its not like the guy is going undrafted and now is going to spend the rest of his life working at a pizza place

    Hes gonna be a second rounder, which is still pretty awesomee, and get the same shot to contend for a legit team

    Actually talked to his cousin last night after I heard. It's actually a kid he went to school with at Rutgers that was drunk. The guy later called back to apologize for it. For what it's worth he also said Jets have shown the most interest and wouldn't be surprised if he's the guy in the 2nd.

    Yeah, and that means what, about a 10 million less payday? There was nothing funny about it.

    Except that he didn't go in the 2nd round. I feel terrible for him. I bet a lot of people told him he might go in the first...

    How ironic that he wound up on the Bengals anyway.
