26 Running backs were chosen this year at the 2013 NFL draft. The difference between the first player selected (Giovani Bernard 37th) and the last player (Michael Cox 253rd) is very obvious. Bernard is expected to be in a time share for Cincinnati this year and he projects to take over in 2014 and Cox projects to be a practice squad attendee. READ MORE

The 2013 QB draft class is a sad group of individuals. It’s so sad that Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback coach Frank Scelfo has said that Blaine Gabbert would be the first quarterback chosen if he were in the draft this year.
There might not be a week one starter in the whole lot. If you expected to find your franchise quarterback in this year’s group then you didn’t do your homework. READ MORE

As a Toronto Maple Leafs fan, it's been a tough past week. I haven't really talked about it. I have, however been trying to find something that can make the hurting stop.
After posting the last home run fail by 朱鴻森 I was told about more greatness from the same source. READ MORE

On Saturday April 27th, home plate umpire Brain O'Nora had to leave the Phillies-Mets game in the bottom of the 1st inning after it was reported that he had swallowed his chew (chewing tobacco). It was later announced by MLB that it was in fact, an intestinal tear that caused his departure. It's easy to think MLB is just covering up the story because they don't want any tobacco related press associated with their game. (read more here)

I love golf. I have loved golf since I was a pre-pubescent Cleveland Indians fan. From my Nana's living room or patio I could watch players attempt the 186 yard 12th hole par three on the Georgetown golf course. Then after twilight, I could go and try my own luck with the hole or just walk the course and find balls. I never had the money to be part of the clubhouse elite, but I would use my paper route money as a kid to go shoot a round or three throughout the summer months. READ MORE

What Would Al Davis Do?
Article idea by Jake Cousineau and Josh InglisJosh Inglis
Wednesday, April 24, 2013
The first round of the 2013 NFL draft is upon us, and for the second straight year, arguably the most famous of all NFL GMs will not be making the trip to Radio City Music Hall in New York.
Allen Davis passed away Oct 8, 2011 from heart failure at his home in Oakland and and in doing so has left a void in every NFL fan and follower. Love or hate Al Davis you can't deny that he was the most well known owner in the league if not in all of professional sports in North America. He went from coordinator to head coach and GM to AFL commissioner to head of football operations to eventually ownership.
Three superbowl wins, and 4 AFC championships proves as evidence as Al's legacy. However, due to recent drafts (2007), a number of high draft pick busts (JaMarcus, Rolando) and his final move, a questionable 3rd round supplemental draft pick on Terrelle Pryor it had left Al as a punch line come draft day.
Now I am not here to judge a man who gave 60 years of his life to better a sport or on his ability to evaluate talent, (he did trade a coach, John Gruden, for two 1st round picks, two second round picks and $8 million in cash and then proceeded to make the superbowl the following season however eventually losing to the coach he had traded away) I'm just making the point that when the Oakland Raiders were on the clock during the first day it might have been the most exciting part of the draft just due to absolute uncertainty alone.
With many teams' picks already known or specific to 2 or 3 players, having Al and his passion for forty times is a sight that is surely missed. However, with his brother Jerry still writing the names on the cards there still may be a little unexpectedness left in the organization. Having four top 100 picks and ten picks in total in the draft there is plenty of opportunity for surprise.
The man who has been trying to fill Al Davis' shoes is 2nd year GM Reggie Mckenzie. Mckenzie's first draft as the Raiders' GM was 2012. In that year the silver and black's first pick wasn't until the 3rd round where he drafted Utah guard Tony Bergstrom with the 95th overall pick.
In Al Davis fashion here is a look at the fastest 40 times from the combine.
4.27 Marquise Goodwin, Texas wide receiver
4.34 Tavon Austin, West Virginia wide receiver
*4.34 Onterio McCalebb, Auburn running back
4.34 Ryan Swope, Texas A&M wide receiver
4.36 Darius Slay, Mississippi State cornerback
4.37 Knile Davis, Arkansas running back
4.37 Dee Milliner, Alabama cornerback
4.38 Josh Boyce, Texas Christian wide receiver
4.38 Kenny Stills, Oklahoma wide receiver
4.38 Desmond Trufant, Washington cornerback
4.39 Robert Alford, Southeastern Louisiana cornerback
4.39 Jamar Taylor, Boise State cornerback
4.40 Brandon McGee, Miami cornerback
4.41 Sanders Commings, Georgia cornerback
4.41 Kayvon Webster, South Florida cornerback
My In Memory of Al pick
4.43 Denard Robinson, Michigan Wide Receiver
*Onterio ran an unofficial time 4.21 which would have been a forty time record had it stood

line-up other than the 6'2'' 235 pound Carlos Quentin. Alexi Amarista, who stands at 5'8'' 152ilbs, seems like the brighter option as the next batter in the order. Anyway we all know how the story ends, Quentin does the double take move to the mound, charges Greinke, reminiscent of his outside linebacker days in Highschool, hits Greinke 6 feet back and breaks his collar bone in the process.
Vin Scully (who pretty much was the internet before the internet) does his best work on the call. I'm guessing it takes a lot to get a rise out of the man who has seen everything in baseball.
