Over the next four days, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida will be inundated with 255 large men brimming with glee and bloated bank accounts. They will cram their cabooses into chairs and listen to the tales of how to deal with fame, fortune, and perhaps even a gay teammate. Some of the classes won’t be all that different from the business courses these men skipped in college.

It’s time for the NFL Rookie Symposium. This is what will happen:

* Reggie Bush will talk about how to bag Kim Kardashian and party at the Playboy Mansion.
* Mr. Irrelevant will fall asleep because he’s been partying so hard.
* Brady Quinn (and surely others) will take notes when Esera Tuaolo speaks.
* Tank Johnson will make a guest appearance and talk about what life in jail was like.
* Donald Evans will show up, nobody will know who he is, and then he’ll lift his shirt and show where he was tasered by cops over the weekend after he vomited in a cab and took a swing at a cop. Then everyone will nod.
* Pacman Jones will show up – flanked by two State troopers – and talk about haircut etiquette. Of course he won’t. He’ll walk in the door with a duffle bag over his shoulder, plop it down, ask Roger Goodell to ‘hit it!’ and then he’ll start making it rain. Brady Quinn will take his shirt off, Koolaid Maroney will jump out of a closet and it’ll be on.
