Random NFL Ramblings

Yes, I know that the football season isn't here yet but I can't go without it for too long.  I will just be throwing football stuff out here in this blog, starting with Super Bowl chances for each team.

1. Dallas Cowboys, 4-1

The Dallas Cowboys are coming into this season as the best team in the league and that little bit of playoff expirience last year can only help star quarterback Tony Romo.  If it wasn't for Tom Brady's magnificent year, Romo would have probably won MVP.  Dallas had a good draft, picking up a much needed runningback and cornerback in Felix Jones and Mike Jenkins, respectivly.  With Terrell Owens and Marion Barber still around, Dallas should be everyone's Super Bowl favorite.

The History Of The Draft Lottery

Heinsohn
1947-65: Territorial Picks
In the league's early years, when teams were struggling to include fan bases, the draft included territorial picks. Before the start of the draft, a team could forfeit its first-round pick and instead select a player from its immediate area, presumably with a strong local following.
In 1956, the Celtics used a territorial pick to select Tom Heinsohn from Holy Cross in nearby Worcester, Mass. He went on to average 18.6 points and 8.8 rebounds, helping the Celtics to eight NBA championships in his nine-year career.
