Instead of falling victim to early rumors that crop up after the Super Bowl, I waited a while before constructing my first NFL Mock Draft. But with the draft now just a month away, I couldn’t wait any longer. My NFL Mock Draft 1.0 is complete with team needs and, of course, full projections…which are likely to be changed many times while leading up to the weekend of April 26.

Jose Canseco is in the public eye again and this time he’s claiming he introduced New York Yankees’ third baseman Alex Rodriguez to a steroids distributor.
Jose Canseco says in his new book that he introduced Alex Rodriguez to a steroids distributor and that A-Rod pursued Canseco’s wife, according to the Web site of freelance writer Joe Lavin.
Lavin says on his Web site that he obtained the book, “Vindicated: Big Names, Big Liars, and The Battle to Save Baseball,” on Monday from a bookstore in Cambridge, Mass. The book is due to be released April 1.
Lavin writes Canseco’s book discusses A-Rod, Roger Clemens and Magglio Ordonez.
He says Canseco claimed he didn’t inject Rodriguez but “introduced Alex to a known supplier of steroids.” Lavin also says “Canseco claims that A-Rod was trying to sleep with Canseco’s wife.”
Canseco is an absolute coconut, but he’s been right about his steroid claims in the past. Hmm…
According to SPORTSbyBROOKS.com (via the Milwaukee-Sentinel), Brett Favre has not signed his official retirement papers yet.
It’s more than a minor detail, as once Favre files the paperwork, “the Green Bay Packers will strike $11.4 million from payroll and quite possibly lead the National Football League in available salary cap room.”
So what’s the holdup? The J-S went to our favorite, all-knowing Southern Mississippi sports agent Bus Cook for the answer.
His agent, James “Bus” Cook, said he had no idea where Favre was in the process of filing the paperwork that would finalize his retirement.
Interesting. Many people are still waiting for Favre to change his mind once again and this might be proof that he’s not done. Then again, he might just be procrastinating. If he is procrastinating, I’m sure the Packers are real happy about it seeing as how they could free up $11.4 million. That money could be used to extend Greg Jennings’s contract.
In case anyone missed it, the Red Sox beat the A’s 6-5 in Japan yesterday to kick off the 2008 MLB season. Manny Ramirez hit a two-out, two-run double in the 10th to essentially win the game for Boston.
Does anyone else have a problem with Japan getting our Opening Day? I realize it’s not actually “Opening Day”, but shouldn’t the first game of every season be played on United States soil? Isn’t baseball “America’s Pastime?” At least MLB got national exposure and Bud the Slug can line his pockets with more money. Because hey, that’s what really matters. I have no problem with the game expanding overseas, but leave Opening Day in the States.
LeBron as a running back? George Forman as a defensive tackle? Albert Pujols rushing the passer! Believe it. In my latest column for Bullz-Eye.com, I put together a football team constructed purely of athletes from the NBA, MLB and even NASCAR. See if your favorite players made his All- Athlete Gridiron Team.
