17. Pittsburgh Steelers – Alec Ogletree ILB, Georgia The Steelers need to replace some LBs, Ogletree is athletic and can play inside or outside. He comes with some off field concerns. CB is also a spot Steelers could look to fill. 18. Dallas Cowboys – Sheldon Richardson DT, Missouri Cowboys could use a OG or S but will find the value at DT to be better. Richardson can play inside or outside and will be a good fit for Monte Kiffin’s 4-3 Defense. 19. New York Giants – Tyler Eifert TE, Notre Dame The Giants have stuck to taking the best player available the past few drafts regardless of need. Eifert at this point...

Who will be a star? Who will be a bust? It doesn’t seem like any of the highly paid experts can figure this out, so here’s my non-highly paid, but often as accurate 2013 NFL Mock Draft.

Sidwell has coached hall of fame players in New Orleans, New England, Seattle, Houston, Indianapolis and SMU. He was at SMU during the days recently documented in ESPN’s 30 for 30, Pony Excess, and discussed that era and the scandal-ridden Southwest Conference.  We also got into the Ghosts of Ole Miss (another ESPN 30 for 30 documentary) era. Steve delved into a couple TV and movie reviews including Spartacus.  We also discussed life as a coach, getting started in...

I had a quick chat with Gary Vaynerchuk last night via his 1 a day Q&A program.  For those of you that don’t know Gary, he wrote  the bestseller Crush It  (essential reading for anyone wanting to escape the 9 to 5) and created an extremely successful web video series called Wine Library TV.  Long story short, Gary Vee is huge. He will likely own the Jets someday.  He is a large part of the inspiration for this entire website. I’ve always admired Gary’s passion, and the vigilance with which he communicates with his audience. Just check out his Twitter feed.  Nearly 1 million followers and he seemingly responds to...
