One time I had to go to Minooka/Morris to give a presentation for work.

Afterwards, I walked to a pizza place with slot machines to call for an uber and charge my cell phone.  The waitress laughed and said "we don't have ubers out here" and asked me where I was going and I said "downtown" and she responded "which downtown?"

About two hours later, the restaurant was going to close and the waitress asked her dad to drive me to a Holiday Inn because nothing else was open. 

Just then, an uber showed up.  

They were nice people.  I'm rooting for Nate George. 

 

My wife is not one to be too silly but one of her moments is whenever we drive past the sign on the highway and she calls out "minoooooooooka".  I have no idea why she does that, but it's fun.

Who exactly have they drafted that was ranked much higher than the draft position, such that they warrant overslot, for which punting is required?

Or perhaps that player has yet to be drafted.
