NFL Draft 1 Day Away

April 28th is finally almost here. Even though the lockout has been the main story, the draft is one of the most entertaining days of the season. Cam Newton, the Heismon Trophy Winner, is projected to go #1 overall. But a person that I will be keeping my eye on is Brandon Fusco. He is the #2 ranked Center in the entire draft and he is from right here in Slippery Rock. He is project to be drafted as early as the 3rd round or as late as the 5th round. If I remember correctly he will be the first player from SRU to be drafted by the NFL. It will be exciting to see where he ends up. But of course I will be cheering for my Dallas Cowboys to have a good draft so the 2011 season does not end up like the 2010 season.

Dale Jr. Winless Streak in Triple Digits?

Dale Earnhardt Jr. is one of NASCAR's most popular drivers as he won the leagues most popular driver for the 8th straight year in 2010. It is now the 2011 season and Dale Jr. is still without a win since his last victory at Michigan International Speedway in 2008. If you count all those races up, you will come to a grand total of a 101 race winless streak. I'm positive that Dale is one heck of a driver and can drive anything with wheels on it. Some people are starting to call him overrated but even without winning he is still Mr. Popularity. Sure his last name will carry him and bring intense pressure to do well but I believe it is bad luck that has caused this losing streak to reach triple digits. Before the end of this season I believe that Earnhardt Jr. will be in victory lane because it will begin to eat him up inside. He is hungry for a win and will get it before this streak really gets out of hand.
