Posted By Kevin Roberts On Tuesday, March 16th 2010. Under NFL, NFL Draft Tags: 2010 NFL Draft, Brett Favre, Colt McCoy, Jimmy Clausen, Notre Dame, Tony Romo

The curse has to end sometime. Just ask the Boston Red Sox.
Ask all the Chicago Cubs fans that are still crossing their fingers, saying their prayers, and dreaming those dreams.
Even if it hasn't happened yet, it eventually will.
Most (if not not every) record will be broken. Games that shouldn't be ... Continue Reading
