That was on Red for forcing them to trade the pick, no matter what.

 

Damn, I learned something today.

Brzezinski, coach Mike Tice and the rest of leadership sat back to watch the Ravens make their selection, all the while hoping their own target -- Oklahoma State defensive tackle Kevin Williams -- remained on the board through No. 10. Within seconds, they noticed something strange: The team logo on the ESPN broadcast hadn't changed.

"We had called in the trade, and we thought it was done," Brzezinski said. "We're all sitting there in the draft room, just watching on TV, and all hell broke loose."

It became one of the wildest scenes in modern NFL draft history. The league never executed the trade -- for reasons the league never fully explained -- and the Vikings' time expired.

They got David Stern'd and the NFL just didn't let them trade it.

How did this not become a scandal? Today it would be.
