Most people were pretty stoked when the Green Bay Packers picked a wide receiver on Thursday night. At least, it looked like 200,005 people were.
Twenty-three years is a long time to wait, and Golden was at the very top of more than a few different draft analysts' wide receiver rankings.

There were, uh, a few exceptions. Despite the team's pretty obvious need to improve at that position – and six months' worth of hints pointing in that direction – there were still some people who weren't over the moon to see them finally break the streak.
And, coincidentally enough, one of those just happened to be Christian Watson's dad, Tazim Wajid Wajed. While live streaming during the moment that Golden was drafted, Wajid Wajed didn't waste time or words letting it be known how he felt about the whole thing.
Christian Watson's dad had plenty of thoughts about the Packers drafting Matthew Golden
“It is what it is," he says. "More power to the young man, but I'm going to tell you right now – they deserve whatever they get. They deserve whatever they get.”
'Whatever they get' is kinda dark but, I mean, it's his dad – hard to blame him. 'Player's dad publicly crushing the team for potentially drafting his son's replacement' is obviously the type of story that's going to go bonkers on the internet, but it's not exactly hard to understand why Wajid Wajed said what he did.
He's also never really been shy about sharing his thoughts on the Packers in the past, so it's not like this is some new thing. In a way, there's something kind of endearing about the whole thing; there will always be Sports Parents. Isn't that how we'd want our dads to react? Just maybe not live on the internet?
This will probably be nice and awkward for the next 36 hours, and then we'll all move on. Then it'll get nice and awkward again when Watson returns and the Packers have them splitting reps that don't matter because they're running the ball anyway. But it'll be so nice to just have football back that no one will even care.
