    Melissa Stark of NBC Sports recorded this Cameo for our 25th anniversary draft.

  • The CFFL Story Epilogue: First and Lasts

    For the final installment of the CFFL Story, let’s be honest – I’m phoning it in. All the other installments were heavy on the narrative but this one will be a couple of lists and some trivia. I figure in the end I might as well stay true to myself. The first two years of…

Maulers picked third and drafted Priest Holmes, Isaac Bruce and Tiki Barber to go along with keepers Terrell Owens, Kevin Johnson and a returning-from-IR Jamal Lewis. Mayhem picked sixth and got Fred Taylor, Brett Favre and Hines Ward to go along with keepers Torry…
