And now for Wednesday's reminder that 2010 is a strange time to live in.

Pete Carroll has started to tweet links to songs in an effort to give fans hints about his draft picks. "Try 2 figure it out!" Caroll writes.

Some of the selections so far include, "Jump Around" by House of Pain, "California Love" by Tupac, "Let the Beat Build" by Lil Wayne, "Back Door Man" by the Doors and "Smooth Criminal" by Michael Jackson.

The logical choice for the last clue: Florida's Carlos Dunlap. One of our Twitter followers suggested it means the Seahawks will trade for Ben Roethlisberger.

We are eagerly anticipating Bill Belichick's draft clue tweets later in the day linking to Kid Cudi, Bon Jovi, and Wrecks-N-Effect.

There are so many jokes that can be made about the "Back Door Man". The Golden Calf of Bristol? Smooth Criminal must mean that Carroll is drafting one of his USC players. California Love might mean he's trading for Matt Leinart. Let the Beat Build? I didn't know Chris Brown played football. Maybe they are trading for James Harrison?

So...a gay guy (back door man), who sold his soul to the devil (soul sacfrifice), who's Irish (House of Pain), who robs people (Smooth Criminal), from Cali (Tupac), and is patient (Let the Beat Build).

Hmm.

These tweets are ridiculous. I would expect something like this from the Raiders.

I guess the Seahawks have to resort to this ridiculous behavior to drum up any interest in their team.

This...

As far as what they mean? They probably mean that if you think they really mean anything, you're an idiot...

I didn't know there were any Duke players in this draft

dook players that is

[ihateforumnames]

I'm calling Eric Berry: "back door man," - safety. "california love," - his first start was against california. "jump around," - well he can jump. "smooth criminal" - guy is a turnover machine.

Stupid

[carpanfan96]

Wow look at that list now....lmao

[therealmjl]

That is the dumbest poo I have ever heard of.

Seahawks fail.

[rayzor]

if anyone can figure out the messages he's sending they are screwed.

it's just stupid no matter what spin you put on it. hopefully we can beat this stupid team this year. i got a bad feeling about it, though.

[panthersphan]

It's Jimmy Clausen

He's from California (California Love)

He's a QB, who takes snaps "behind" the center (Back Door man)

And played for the Fighting Irish (House of Pain is Irish/American)

...and maybe Carrol thinks he play's like a "Smooth Criminal"

Makes sense to me...new coach wants a new QB to mold.

Sucks for the Bills.

But Pete Carrol, seriously dude, that's just silly.
