The biggest news story in the 2007 NFL Draft on Saturday was not JaMarcus Russell who was predicted by experts to go to the Oakland Raiders. The Raiders sucked the fun of the draft by drafting him. No surprises there. I hope for the Raiders sake, he turns out to be the player they drafted [...]
Schools across the country are now banning iPods to stem cheating. Last year, cell phones were banned from high schools and universities. Sad to say, but cheating is a fact of student life.
