Things to know before the Draft: So here we are, another Draft about to begin, when every team looks to the future of the franchise and hopes they don't blow it big time. Every year there are busts, steals, major trades, and disappointed fans. This year shouldn't be any different. Before we even talk about who's going where, you have to remember the most critical part of the NFL Draft: Trades.

PROJECTED AL WILD CARD STANDINGS: (Top five contenders only) 1. Boston Red Sox 2. Chicago White Sox 3. Texas Rangers 4. Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim 5. Tampa Bay Rays Last season, a good arguement could have been made that the Yankees were the best team in baseball, followed by the Phillies, with the Red Sox in third. With their offseason moves, Boston may have moved in to second. This could

PROJECTED AL EAST STANDINGS: 1. New York Yankees 2. Boston Red Sox 3. Tampa Bay Rays 4. Toronto Blue Jays 5. Baltimore Orioles After a start to last season that had them looking like they may be out of the playoffs, the Yankees ended up the only 100 game winner, and won their 27th World Series. They cut out their older position players, traded away the sometimes underacheiving Melky Cabrera,

PROJECTED AL CENTRAL STANDINGS: 1. Minnesota Twins 2. Chicago White Sox 3. Detroit Tigers 4. Cleveland Indians 5. Kansas City Royals The Twins barely pulled out this division last season, winning a play-in game against the Tigers. This year, they should win it outright, but not by much. Last season's roster is mostly intact, and the players they brought in are more for leadership and role

PROJECTED AL WEST STANDINGS: 1. Seattle Mariners 2. Texas Rangers 3. Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim 4. Oakland A's Last season, a lot of people picked the Mariners to win the AL West. A quick glance at their roster would have told anyone with a brain that, while the team had some excellent hitters, they had no pitching. This offseason, they added Cliff Lee as their new ace, and brought in even

PROJECTED STANDINGS: (Top five contenders only) 1. San Francisco Giants 2. Atlanta Braves 3. Chicago Cubs 4. Florida Marlins 5. Cincinnati Reds The NL Central may be the toughest division, but that isn't good for Wild Card possibilities. With all the teams there winning at home, it dilutes the records of the rest of the division. They may all be good teams, but that hurts their chances when

PROJECTED STANDINGS: 1. Philadelphia Phillies 2. Atlanta Braves 3. Florida Marlins 4. New York Mets 5. Washington Nationals The Phillies didn't really do anything to improve this offseason, but they didn't need to. The deal that got them Roy Halladay and sent Cliff Lee to Seattle is pretty much an even trade, and with how weak the East has become, its enough to keep them in first. The Braves

PROJECTED STANDINGS: 1. St Louis Cardinals 2. Chicago Cubs 3. Cincinnati Reds 4. Houston Astros 5. Milwaukee Brewers 6. Pittsburgh Pirates In my opinion, everyone but he Pirates has a shot at winning the NL Central. The reason is partly due to the fact the every team in the division was one game below .500 or better at home last season. That should help make this a close race. The Cards won

PROJECTED STANDINGS: 1. Colorado Rockies 2. San Francisco Giants 3. Los Angeles Dodgers 4. Arizona Diamondbacks 5. San Diego Padres The Rockies ended last season right on the heals of the Dodgers, and almost pulled out the Division title. In the offseason, they lost Yorvit Torrealba, but added Miguel Olivo to take his place. They largely kept the rest of the team intact. Below them, the

With defensive backs working out yesterday, the 2010 NFL Scouting Combine came to a close. Did it really teach us anything? Sure, it taught us that Jacoby Ford and Trindon Holliday are this year's fasted players, that TE Jimmy Graham is great at running the gauntlet drill, that OL Mitch Petrus can bench press a lot, and that none of the top QBs are currently capable of actually throwing a

The US Men's Ice Hockey team came into this Olympics with low expectations on them. They made the Gold Medal game, only to lose in overtime. No one probably feels lower right now than goalie Ryan Miller. For five games, Miller stood on his head in goal. In those five games, he allowed only five goals for a GAA of 1 and a save percentage of 95.4. He beat Switzerland twice, allowing only

For 16 years, Extreme Championship Wrestling was a brand that had one of the most loyal followings in the history of professional wrestling. Last night, WWE put the brand to rest, probably for good. It was August 27, 1994, in a building that had already become known as the ECW Arena, thanks to the two-year-old Eastern Championship Wrestling. The night was supposed to be a cementing of the

So here we are, a week removed from the Super Bowl. We're a few weeks away from free agency, and months away from the draft. The Pro Bowl was moved, so we don't have that to calm our nerves in the transition to the offseason. Thankfully, the sports world has made sure to pack this first football-free weekend with other diversions. NBA All-Star Weekend With everything else going on, this will

So depending on which analyst you listen to, either the underdog or the better team won. I picked the New Orleans Saints all along. And now a quarter-by-quarter look at the game: First Quarter: From the start, this looked like a win for the Indianapolis Colts. Each team had two possessions in the first quarter, and were opposites in what they did with the ball. The Colts drove almost at will,

New Orleans Saints vs Indianapolis Colts Spread: Colts, -5 o/u: 56.5 Over the past two weeks, I've compared the positions of these two teams head-to-head, and the Saints came out on top, 5-4. In key positions, the Saints match up better against the Colts than vice versa. Still, analysts have been praising the Colts the last two weeks like they won every game by huge magins and dominated every

Indianapolis Colts: Jim Caldwell may be considered a rookie head coach, but that doesn't really mean anything in this situation. He's been with the Colts since 2002, and the majority of his assistants have been with the team for at least two seasons. Some have been there for over a decade. Caldwell spent his first three seasons as QB coach, working with Peyton Manning. After that, he was named

Indianapolis Colts: First of all, congratulations to Matt Stover for being the oldest player ever to play in the Super Bowl. With Adam Vinatieri being held out after injuring his leg during the season, Stover came in and did an excellent job as his replacement. He was perfect on extra points and made 9 of 11 field goals in the regular season, which isn't great, but is good enough considering the

Indianapolis Colts: Quick, name two members of the Colts secondary. If you said Bob Sanders and Antoine Bethea, you're wrong. Sanders is injured, as usual, leaving Melvin Bullitt to take his place. At the corners, there's Kelvin Hayden and rookie Jerraud Powers. Between them, they have 5 picks, four belonging to Bethea. The fact that they had the 14th ranked pass defense is due more to the

Indianapolis Colts: No one will ever tell you the Colts have a dominant group of linebackers. Do they have a nose for the ball? Sure. Clint Sessions recorded 103 tackles, and Gary Brackett had 99 of his own. But between those two and Philip Wheeler, they total only 2.5 sacks, 3 picks, and 2 forced fumbles this season.
