The Sports Watercooler

Its the raw power of the NFL where it can dominate ESPN news coverage 3 and a half months before the season starts. I know that the draft is coming up this weekend and is always a conversation starter, but this goes beyond just draft coverage.

News abounds in across the sporting world, as the NFL has trumped baseball as the season is starting to find its grove, the NBA as the best playoffs in the last ten years are underway, and the NHL playoffs as they enter the second round.

We have news about Pac-Man Jones getting traded. We have Shaun Alexander being cut. We have Matt Walsh agreeing to meet with the NFL on May 13. We have Miami signing their number one pick already and actively shopping Taylor around now (you mean you worry that your franchise player may not be committed to the team because he spends the offseason dancing on national TV? Shocking!)

On that note, stay tuned this afternoon for Bikes in Trees first ever Mock Draft.
