Hi. Yes, hello. It's me again.  I want to apologize for it being a little while since the last time we interacted, a lot has happened since then. If you are curious as to what (hopefully you are), you have come to the right place.  I am going to break it down for you... starting with the basics.  I love                       . I do not live in Myrtle Beach anymore. I am back HOME in the lovely Buckeye state of Ohio. Hooray, snow. I work for the Cleveland Indians now (Yes, the Cleveland Indians)! I do miss my Myrtle Beach Nike family, but I am loving my job with American League Championship Series Champs. So far, Cleveland has been great to me. No, I have not met LeBron yet. I am not sure why... I don't think he's busy, is he? I have been with the Indians for about a month now.  The saying still stands: Time flies when you're having fun. I have been having a blast.  What a time to co...

We are dwindling down to the final moments of the NFL offseason... Thank the good Lord.  Do you all have your Fantasy squads ready? All drafts are finished so I hope you all got your dream teams.  I cannot even help but grin as I write this. And no, it is not because Tom Brady is finally serving his four game suspension.

For starters, there were only about 37 guys to retire last year (okay, I am exaggerating).  Jared Allen, Justin Tuck, Charles Tillman, Greg Jennings, Matt Hasselback (18 years strong!), Calvin Johnson, Marshawn 'Beast Mode...

To the NFL fans everywhere... We don't have that much longer. We can do it!  I know the questions that are going through your head: Who is really the best player in this draft? Is Bortles better than Manziel? Is Jadeveon Clowney going number one overall? What are the Houston Texans going to do with the very first pick of the 2014 draft? And the one that seems to be the most intriguing... Where in the world is Mr. Football going to end up?  To the best of my ability, I can give you some insight. Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay might be the better ones to answer your questions. They are some sort of mock draft legends, right?  Legendary mock drafters.  Let's start by talking about Johnny Manziel because I am sure that you have not heard enough yet, correct? Everyone knows that he is a top five pick for sure. The Minnesota Vikings might have something to say about that. Minnesota's first pick is at number eight. If he isn't number one then he surely won't be ...
