The NFL. It's the draft weekend!

[wayneyboy1942]

I'm a big fan of the NFL, thats American football over here!
Now this weekend it's one of the most important events in the sport, it's the draft where the teams pick the best young players from the college's,now each team gets a pick, the worst team goes first and then the second worst
untill the top team that won the Superbowl gets to pick last.they do this untill all the players are sorted out,this is to give all teams a chance,
My team Dallas has two picks in the first wave,we can have players 11 and 20,if you care this site will give more info

Only this time Col the lads that get picked are instant millionaires! Even if they flop they get a huge fee.
Any Man Utd fans on here may want to see who Tampabay pick! ;) :)

too many stops and starts in american football. a game can last for hours,
good way of picking teams though .

Its all a mystery to me GC dont understand it, same with egg chasing, although I quite like cricket when Englands winning:) doesnt happen to often though!

[wayneyboy1942]

Well even if you don't like American football you've got to say that they try to give all the teams the same chance to win!
They have a salary cap so no team can spend more than anyone else.at one time the same teams won over and over again,now any team can win the Superbowl.
This is the way football should go,esp in the lower divisions,to stop teams spending daft amounts and going bust!

2 They are a right bunch of big girls blowse's! so they need it!
