The Spectacle and Winners and Losers For NFL 2010
April 30th, 2010 | 
Author: The NFL Draft has just taken place for 2010 and as ever it has thrown up some interesting results. The ‘Draft’ is the annual event where the 32 NFL teams get the chance to select newly eligible college football players. Some of the basics of the rules require that all players have been out of high school for two and half years or more and that they must have at least 3 years of college experience.
As for how the actual draft works, the order in which NFL teams get to choose is essentially the reverse of how they finished the previous season. Therefore the teams that performed worst have the first chance to select players from the draft and those that performed the best choose last. There are a few exceptions, for example the Super Bowl contenders end up right at the bottom of the list and get last pick. New teams to the NFL get first pick. The rules aren’t quite this simple, but it gives the basic idea.

2010 Fantasy Baseball Rankings – Third Base
This is the fifth report in the series of our 2010 fantasy baseball rankings looking at the position of third base. Third base appears to have the shallowest depth of all the positions this season with a solid top tier of players and few players with any upside later in the draft.
The following players offer additional flexibility by qualifying at two or more positions. Guys like Pablo Sandoval, Jorge Cantu, Mark DeRosa, Chase Headley, Jhonny Peralta, Mark Teahen, Garrett Atkins and Jake Fox are worth considering if you have them ranked closely with another player on your draft board. If I have two players that are rated close together, I will usually give the nod to the player that qualifies at two positions to make it easier to manage my lineup during the season.

Cornell Basketball
While Cornell basketball is only one of the 36 varsity sports at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York it is the one sport that most Americans think of when their minds wander to Cornell athletics (which is not very often).
Cornell basketball made history during the 2009-2010 season by cracking into the top 25 in the ESPN/USA Today coaches poll for the first time in decades. In fact, the last time the Cornell Big Red hoops team was ranked in the top 25 Harry Truman was in office and the date was January 3, 1951. That date marks over 59 years between appearances in the top 25 polls.
