I have compiled a long list of players that I think the Cleveland Browns could be targeting in the 2010 NFL Draft.

Posted: 21st March 2010 by Michael Schottey in NFL
Professional athletes make a lot of money.
No matter what is said about salary caps, salary structures, or lack thereof—nothing will change the fact that throwing, hitting, or kicking a ball of any shape or size will make more money than teaching children or putting out house fires.
Controlling rookie pay is not an effort to destroy the free market economy, and it is not an effort to steal money from ...

Picture this, the Chicago Bulls winning the NBA Draft Lottery even though everybody thought they had no chance to even be in the top five. Sound familiar?
Two years ago the Bulls were projected to have about the tenth pick in the draft. They got extremely lucky and got the first pick, drafted Derrick Rose, and now he is their best player.
As a twelve year-old sports fanatic, it will be like ...

Posted: 21st March 2010 by Damali Binta Yael in NFL
A vision precedes the manifestation of what is seen. Al Davis and the coaches have to have a working model in their heads.
They have to have a clear idea of what kind of team they need, and they have to simulate in their heads what kind of results they expect in 2010.
That's why the NFL draft is so important. The selections for the Oakland Raiders have to fit the context of ...

Posted: 21st March 2010 by Eddie Dzurilla in MLB
Well, we’re twenty games into the college baseball season, and the TCU Horned Frogs are now No. 4 in the nation. I was watching them sweep Texas Tech last weekend shredding on a nice mid 70’s Tejas spring day with my bud Mexican Joe, and we agreed that the scene was quite idyllic.
'Cept for the dang ping of those stupid aluminum bats.
Something’s just ain’t right, and aluminum bats are one ...
