Wesseling: 10 NFL rookies who’ll shine, and 10 who’ll stink - NFL- nbcsports.msnbc.com
A big, physical receiver providing breakaway speed, deep-ball skills, and a presence in the red zone, Mike Williams’ circus catches appeared to vault him past second-rounder Arrelious Benn in offseason practices.

Federal judge who rules cheerleading is not a sport under Title IX should toss his decision
After being accepted into Syracuse University last year, I participated in a D1 cheerleading tryout. The three-day tryouts were extremely painful and challenging. The coaches for the college squad were looking for girls who were very advanced in gymnastics and stunting; they were looking for nothing less than greatness.
