Eric LeGrand suffered a spinal cord injury that paralyzed him. Even though LeGrand will never play football again, he is set to graduate from college next year and hopefully become a well-known sportscaster.
It was hard to get excited about the NFL draft with hockey going on simultaneously. With the drama of two game sevens, the draft seemed awfully tame by comparison.
As long as we can't turn on cable news without hearing our president, our representatives (if we had any) or our neighbor-who's-also-a-pundit crap on Washington, it's nice to have something to change the channel to. There hasn't been a brighter day for a D.C. sports fan in many administrations.
The fact that Andrew Luck has been widely praised for his athleticism and Robert Griffin III for his leadership qualities and comprehension of sophisticated passing schemes may reflect a change in the tormented way that we talk about quarterbacks and race.

HuffPost's Jordan Schultz appeared on 610 Kansas City sports radio last week with host Nick Wright to break down the 2011 NFL Draft. Discussing the D...
Pro football seems to exist to remind college football fans of the misplaced, wasteful nature of their passion.
The story of Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant's high-priced dinner is amusing, but more troubling than cute, and not necessarily the fault of Bryant.
OTAs (voluntary spring practices) started this week and that means... well, what does that mean?
It could be that Bradford will be everything the Rams and the team's fans hope. But it's also quite possible the Rams would have been better off taking Jimmy Clausen in the second round.
