It usually takes at least two or three years before a team really knows how it did in the NFL draft. But there were some picks in Thursday night's draft that instantly raised eyebrows. With the ninth pick the Jets took Alabama cornerback Dee Milliner, who is a top talent. But some Jets fans are wondering why they didn't just keep Darrelle Revis, instead of asking a rookie to replace the game's most respected CB. With the 16th...

As was widely expected, the Jets have put Tim Tebow on waivers, where any team can claim him. But it's worth noting that when Denver shopped him the only two teams that reportedly showed interest were the Jets and Jacksonville. And Jacksonville's new management team has since said the Jags aren't interested in the local boy. So what happens now? Does Jacksonville take a second look, given that his price tag is at an all-time low?...

360 Architecture, the company that will design the Atlanta Falcons' new billion-dollar stadium, has released a number of innovations it's considering. Among them is "Impact Seating" -- seats that shake and tremor in coordination with big hits on the field. If you were a season-ticket holder in Atlanta would you want an "Impact Seat"?
The College Football Hall of Fame announced 12 selections for the Class of 2013 on Tuesday, and of course they're all worthy players. But it's also interesting to see who was left out. Here are the seven that CBS Sports says were most overlooked: Brian Bosworth, LB, Oklahoma: The game's only two-time Butkus Award winner, and a two-time consensus All-American. Mark Carrier, S, USC: Two-time All-American and USC's only Jim...
As we told SOTL.com readers earlier today, the Minnesota Vikings will play home games outdoors for two seasons starting in 2014 while their new stadium is under construction. Before moving into the Metrodome the Vikings were known as a team that flourished in the snow and icy temperatures. But for the last five seasons they have struggled when not playing in a dome -- going 7-20 outdoors. That includes an 0-5 record last season. Will...
According to Yahoo columnist Mike Silver, a big factor in why no teams have gone after Tim Tebow is because they don't want to deal with the media frenzy that would accompany having him on the roster. Silver says he was told by one NFC head coach that: "He seems like a great guy to have on a team, and I'd be tempted to bring him in as our backup.

St. Louis Rams first-round draft pick Tavon Austin candidly told the team's website that now that he's headed to the NFL he's hearing from a lot of old friends and family, but not necessarily in a good way. “Just people,” Austin told StLouisRams.com. “Everybody expects a lot of things from you as far as money. Everybody wants to be around you. My phone doesn’t stop ringing now. It feels like they’re...
