Woods will "speak to a small group of friends, colleagues and close associates," Friday morning at 10:00 central time, and it will be carried live by every broadcast network with the possible exception of The Soap Opera Network.

Posted by dick on January 20th, 2010 under Football

I love everything about the NFL Draft season.  It's about on par with following recruiting for me.  The hope, the speculation, the glimpse of what the future holds, the bad suits, I love it all.  The best part (besides the real draft)  is studying mock drafts as if they mean something.  Maybe I just like mocking big hair TV personalities that take themselves too seriously.  Maybe I just like mocking stupidity.  Actually anything to do with mocking, I'm game.  Here
