Was on an airplane with Mike Collins of Channel 17 begging fame. It would have been funny if he was with Goldie, and I ended up sitting between them being bombarded the entire flight for a donation.
The Corrigan report did recommend hockey and lacrosse. Manuel didn't see fit to act on two sports where they would not only draw on hockey & lacrosse hotbeds in WNY and Southern Ontario, but also two sports where there would be potential for building a fan base beyond basketball and football.
The NFL puts on the rookie symposium every year in an attempt to get them going down the right path. I'm sure one of the talking points revolves around financial management. It was reported a few years ago, that some rookies would either skip out on many of the sessions, or sleep through the ones they do attend.
You can't help those that don't want to be helped.

I am also sick of Joshua, his screaming, and the "reach arounds" the judges give him every week.
I think the huge AI teen following will work against him sometime in the next few weeks.
Since there will probably be several trades at the top of the round, it is impossible to say what teams will take a OT. Bottom line...if the Bills want Martin or Glenn, trade up to the top of the round and get one!
I like the Gilmore pick, but you are right about posters who think that guys like Jasper, Batten, Moats and Easley, are ready to make the jump from guys who might not make the team come September, to impact players.
This is one time of year when I don't care that T-W and the NFL are still F***ing me over. Mel Kiper rocks. ESPN should go old school and have just Berman and Kiper at the main table for the entire draft.
...and don't let that IDIOT Steve Young into Radio City Music Hall on any of the 3 days!
