Mock Draft 1.0

Mock Draft 1.0 First Mock Draft of the upcoming NFL Draft 1. Cleveland Browns - Sam Darnold QB, USC No mystery here, this franchise is still in search of its Franchise QB 2. New York Giants - Saquon Barkley RB, Penn State Eli Manning still has a few years left and Barkley is the most impactful player on the board to help the Giants win now. 3. Indianapolis Colts - Quenton Nelson OG, Notre Dame Andrew Luck missed an entire season due to injury so it's time to protect that max contract. 4. Cleveland Browns - Minkah Fitzpatrick DB, Alabama A flexible, do-all secondary player that will help build the back end of this defense. 5. Denver Broncos - Josh Rosen QB, UCLA Denver's QB room is a disaster. Rosen is ready to step in and start week 1. 6. New York Jets - Baker Mayfield QB, Oklah...

Welcome to the Closers' Club

Every time I turn on one of those myriad of cooking shows I see people who get up everyday and are excited about the opportunity to create new and exciting food, or maybe, just to remake the same food over and over and over again, but perfectly. You've got your chefs who take the morning market as an invitation for creativity. On the other hand, you have your pit masters who try daily to perfect the art of the perfect ribs, or the masters of Japan who daily try to make you the perfect miso, or ramen, or roll of sushi. And even though they've done it 1000x before, they don't mind.

And although I don't understand their love for food, I can appreciate it. Don't get me wrong, I love food. Anyone who looks at me could tell I love food. But to be on my feet for 8 hours a...

Spurs Stun the Rockets in OT with Their Secret Weapon: A Time Machine

The Rockets & Spurs series is exactly why we watch playoff basketball. The teams are evenly matched, both with their superstars, and playmakers. It's got it all: Superstars, Team Ball, Coaching Rivalries (did you know D'Antoni has NEVER won a series against Pop? Not even with the Lakers in 2013), old men, rookies, injuries, OT, two-way blowouts and nail-biters. And with what looks like the Finals result no one wants to see brewing on the horizon, it may be the best playoff basketball we see for the rest of the year (although watching IT drop 53 was pretty amazing, and the Spurs/Grizz Game 4 was legit the stuff heart attacks are made of). So what exactly did Game 5 offer? Everything. We had back and forth. We had struggles and injury to Leonard. We had flopping fouls. We had a 39 year old dunk like he was 19 . Clint Capela is WAY better than I ever thought he was, and played that way last night . We had the Spurs from behind go without Leonard at the end o...
