With the NFL draft on the horizon and the top two prospects being QB's; it got me to thinking about what happens after that. History does have the tendency to repeat itself, will this year be Manning/Leaf II, will both flop, or will both prove they were worthy of the 1/2 selction? Time will tell, but here are few things to avoid if you are the Colts and Redskins.

Penn State University is reeling in the midst of the scandal with former Defensive Coordinator Jerry Sandusky. There are a few things that just leave one to wonder who actually has been accused of a crime.
