NFL Draft Weekend - Remembering Ryan Leaf

Ryan Leaf, Tony Randall, and Brian Bosworth visit Mount Rushmore There was a moment in time when in the NFL Draft people actually compared Washington State's Ryan Leaf to our Tennessee Vols Peyton Manning. It seems laughable now but it actually happened. However, it didn't take long for that comparison to get shot all to Hell. Peyton, as legend goes, became the finest QB in the NFL before jumping onto a rocket ship and blasting off into the galaxy to cure hunger for alien worlds far off. In ho read

Draft gurus

Tomorrow is the NFL draft. The pundits have been out in force, analyzing, dissecting, breaking down the top players - trying to find the sleepers, identify the busts, and anoint the next superstars without a single player having seen a single down in the NFL except on their television sets on Sunday. It passed the stage of interesting a long time ago and now just resides in the land of tedium. Analysis for analysis' sake. Everyone has a different opinion, everyone identifies a different place read

The Cold Hard Truth-The Joke that is the NFL draft and the Most Overrated/Underrated Prospects

Well, the good Dr. has returned just in time for his favorite sporting event besides WNBA playoffs, the NFL Draft! Being a Lions fan it is the day of hope, optimism and disappointment. The one thing I have come to learn from watching the draft is the NFL is a damn genius when it comes to marketing because let’s be honest folks, no one knows for sure how good a player is going to be or what is a “good pick.” There are thousands of examples of players who were drafted early that didn’t amount to read

UNFL could work

There is more talk these days about the new emergence of a pro football league called the United National Football League. Don’t be too quick to pass judgment, I think this league has a shot to work. I am a football junkie and I will watch just about anything and everything football.

Now there is nothing wrong with wrestling, it’s just not my cup read

Words By Jason Hortillas & Contra™ Pic - NY Daily News How ironic the thought of the title might seem. So the cops who shot, I’m sorry - allegedly shot Sean Bell are acquitted. Why am I not surprised? All I’m going to say is this: Peruse the front page of the New York Daily News website. While all three men charged with Sean Bell’s murder are acquitted, look at next headline below - “Judge Gives Max To Wesley Snipes.” So you’re saying I can make it rain with a 50 bullet barrage and go fre read
