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.

FWST Sports Columnist misses point of the fan experience of baseball

Dear Stefan Stephenson of the Ft. Worth Star Telegram, I read your article regarding the "Woo" birds at the Astros game. For those of you unfamiliar, here's Mr. Stephenson's column . I get that when you write for a newspaper like the FWST, you have to have a certain level of bias toward the home town team. But complaining about an emerging fan engagement by Astros fans (or any fans) makes you the sports reporter equivalent to Dolores Umbridge. It's also incredibly tacky to write about a negative fan experience of not liking what fans do because "you simply find it annoying".

Colon tried to get the game back under control, and did in fact for a while: 13 of the next 14 batters he faced he sent down. Maybe the Braves could get back in this - but then, Josh Reddick shattered those hopes in the 5th by crushing his 100th homer and putting the Astros up 6-0. And although the Braves were able to put up 2 runs, they never had a chance. The Astros just rode their batters home and finished the game up 8-3, handing the Braves their 19th loss of the season. But who cares right? I mean the Braves are terrible. I thought the Brandon Phillips signing was a horrible idea, but he's not doing that badly. He and Freddie Freeman are ...
