Those folks who pre-ordered their iPads might be getting them early. I ordered mine on March 12th and got an notification from Apple today that my iPad has shipped out directly from Shenzhen China

 After a wild weekend of college football, we sat down and updated our Top 100 Prospects for the 2010 NFL Draft. Well known, highly successful players like Clemson's RB CJ Spiller were obviously raised up the draft board, but not so well known players like Arizona CB Devin Ross and Grambling DE Christian Anthony also made an appearance in our top 100. Check back often on our Risers and Fallers column to see which players are moving on the big board.

 A successful pass rush is one of the primary components of victory in football. The 2010 NFL Draft will include some fantastic pass rushers and teams looking for that game changing pass rusher will be in luck. There is a new crop of pass rushing outside linebackers perfectly suited to play linebacker in a 34 type defense. Look for four or five of these prototype players to be drafted in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft.

 After three games we can see some pro prospects that are seemingly rising on many draft boards. I highlighted a few players in my Pro Prospect Risers and Fallers column yesterday. Now I want to highlight a few other players.

Texas DE/OLB Sergio Kindle is playing very well and is a fearsome pass rusher. He made some big plays against Texas Tech.

Defensive back Bruce Carter from Florida is proving to be very difficult to pass on. He is a shut down corner.

The North Carolina Tarheels have a pair of blue chip linebackers in Bruce Carter and Quan Sturdivant. Those two players make the Tarheels tough to run against and they aren't to shabby in coverage either.

This is fun, I am going to do this every week, so check back often and if you know of any other college football pro prospects that are playing well let me know.

Questions and answers with a prominent doctor:

Q: Doctor, I've heard that  cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?
A: Your  heart is only good for so many  beats, and that's it...  don't waste them on exercise.
     Everything wears out  eventually.  Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer;
     that's like saying you can extend  the life of your car by driving it faster. 
     Want to live longer?  Take a  nap. 

Q: Should I cut  down on meat and  eat more fruits and  vegetables?
A: You  must grasp  logistical efficiencies.  What does a cow eat?   Hay and corn.
     And what are these?  Vegetables.  So a steak  is nothing more  than an efficient
     mechanism of  delivering vegetables to your system.   Need grain?   Eat  chicken.  
     Beef is also a good source  of field grass (green leafy vegetable).  
     And a pork chop can  give you  100% of your recommended daily allowance of  vegetable  products.

Q: Should I reduce my  alcohol intake? 
A:  No,  not at all.  Wine is made from  fruit. Brandy is  distilled wine,
     that means they take the water out of  the fruity bit so you  get even more
     of the goodness that  way.   Beer is also made out  of grain.  Bottoms   up!

Q: How can I calculate my body/fat   ratio?
A: Well,  if you have a body and you have  fat, your ratio is one  to one. 
     If you have two bodies, your  ratio is two to  one, etc.

Q: What are some of  the advantages of participating in a regular exercise  program?
A: Can't  think of a single one, sorry.  My philosophy is: No  Pain...Good!

Q: Aren't  fried  foods bad for you? 
 A:  YOU'RE  NOT  LISTENING!!! ..... Foods are fried these days in  vegetable oil. 
        In fact,  they're permeated in it.  How could  getting more  vegetables be bad for you? 

Q: Will sit-ups  help prevent me from getting a little soft  around  the middle?
A: Definitely  not! When  you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger.
     You  should only be  doing sit-ups if you want a bigger   stomach. 

Q:  Is chocolate bad for me? 
A:  Are you crazy? HELLO   Cocoa  beans ! Another vegetable!!!
      It's the best feel-good   food around!

Q:  Is swimming good for your figure? 
A:  If swimming is good for  your figure,  explain whales to  me.

Q:  Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle? 
A:  Hey!  'Round' is  a shape! 

 Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may  have had about food  and diets.

 And remember:
'Life should  NOT  be a journey to the grave with the intention of  arriving  safely in an attractive and well preserved  body, but rather  to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one  hand - chocolate in  the other - body thoroughly used up,  totally worn out and  screaming 'WOO  HOO, What a  Ride'
 
And finally……..

 For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final  word on nutrition and health.
It's a relief to know the  truth after all those conflicting nutritional  studies. 

 1. The Japanese eat  very little fat
       and suffer  fewer heart attacks than  Americans.

 2. The Mexicans  eat a lot of  fat
       and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

 3. The Chinese  drink very little  red wine
       and  suffer fewer heart attacks than  Americans.

 4. The  Italians drink a lot of red  wine
       and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. 

 5. The Germans  drink a lot of beers and eat lots of  sausages and fats 
       and suffer fewer heart attacks than   Americans.

 CONCLUSION

 Eat and drink what you like.
Apparently speaking  English is what kills  you.

It's almost time to get ready for your Fantasy Football Drafts. So let's discuss the top ten players for 2009. Here is my top 10:

1. QB Tom Brady, Patriots: He might be rusty at first, but he is still Tom Brady and he has a lot of weapons arond him.

2. QB Peyton Manning, Colts: Look for Manning to bounce back with a great year even without Marvin Harrison. An improved running game (Donald Brown) and defense should help.

3. QB Drew Brees, Saints: One of the most accurate passers in the league. Coach Sean Payton loves to throw the pig skin around.

4. RB Adrian Peterson, Vikings: One of the most physically talented running backs to ever suite up in the NFL, he just has to stay healthy and the Vikings need a better passing game.

5. WR Larry Fitzgerald, Cardinals: Big, strong, fast and hands of glue. Fitz was by the far the best receiver in 2008 and he is still young and improving.

6. WR Andre Johnson, Texas: The go-to man for the Texans. Johnson has all the skill in the world and if he was on a better offensive team would be putting up mind boggling numbers.

7. TE Jason Witten, Cowboys: With TO gone Romo will be looking for Witten even more in 2009. If WR Roy Williams develops then Witten should see more single coverage.

8. TE Tony Gonsalez, Falcons: QB Matt Ryan is amazing and Gonzo will likely make the Chiefs wish they would have kept him.

9. RB Donald Brown, Colts: I know he is young (rookie) and unproven, but he is in a great position to win the starting job and emerge as the offensive rookie of the year.

10. RB Marion Barber/Felix Jones, Cowboys: I know it's unfair to list two players at the 10 spot, but depending on which of these two guys stays healthy, at least one of them might put up some fantastic fantasy numbers. The thunder and lightening of 2009, Barber with the power and Jones with the speed.

* So here you have it, now tell me who your top ten Fantasy Football players are?
