Anyone who’s done a mock draft knows that it isn’t a science, it’s a guessing game. No general manager of an NFL team tells the truth and the “so-called experts” honestly are guessing as well. Here is my best guess and this Saturday I’ll see how well (or more likely bad) I did.

Yes, it is that time of the year again. As some of my readers know, I am an NFL draft junkie. While my main focus of life is on the effect of environmental toxins on health, sometimes you need a diversion to retain focus and the National Football League Draft is one of my favorites. [...]

As some of my readers know, I’m a BIG pro football fan. My favorite teams include the NY Jets, San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks and Pittsburgh Steelers (the Super Bowl two years ago was a dream game for me). Now that the new season is about to start tonight, it’s time for my prognostications for the [...]

Ok, here is my third and final mock draft. With any real draft, you always get curves balls thrown at you like the Buffalo Bills choosing Donte Willner way earlier than anyone expected.

I’m a big PGA golf fan and I want to just say congrats to Mr. Corey Pavin for winning his first tournament since 1996.  After battling cancer, and struggling to even make the cut this year, I’m real happy to see this gentlemen of the tour win once again.
And yes, sometimes the good guys do [...]

On a somewhat less than serious blog, I find the statements made by a number of so-called sportswriters comparing Indy race care driver Danica Patrick with former tennis pro Anna Kornikova to show such a lack of intelligence that I ma happy they their carriers otherwise they might not be able to find any other [...]

Is is just me, or are the NBC announcers covering the Winter Olympics just the biggest bunch of whiners?  All I keep hearing is how bad all of the athletes are, how bad their ski runs are, how dull the skating is, yada yada yada.  Seeing as most of them are ex-athletes, I’m wondering whether [...]
