As December 31 approaches, I have to think back to December 31, 2005, when I decided to create this very site and made a New Year Resolution to update it at least once every weekday.

Article VIII of the league’s Collective Bargaining Agreement describes the scale, which actually is not such a solid slotting system. A first round selection, and his agent (if he employs one), can negotiate a deal up to […]
Love his analysis or hate it, you have to give Dominic Perilli credit for the amount of time and thought he has put into his 2010 NFL Mock Draft. We are still far away from the 2010 draft, and Dominic has already provided his predictions for how the first three rounds will turn out. The […]
