Top picks in USA Today Fantasy Football '06 Special Editon.
1st to be picked at their position in the mock draft:
RB: LaDainian Tomlinson
QB: Peyton Manning
WR: Randy Moss
TE: Antonio Gates
K: Adam Vineteri
Def: da Bears
1st round:
Tomlinson 2) Shaun Alexander 3) Larry Johnson 4) Edgerrin James
5) Tiki Barber 6) Clinton Portis 7) Ronnie Brown 8.) Peyton Manning 9) Randy Moss 10) Lamont Jordan 11) Stephen Jackson 12) Rudi Johnson.
Wow 12 "experts" 10 RBs! While James kept me afloat in my secondary league last year his stats (even tho his uniform will look really weird
) may be the same: any yards lost due to a so-so o-line may be gained back after Fitz and Bouldin open up the airways and the Edge has room to roam (which is even a better reason to have Rackers as your kicker). With Ricky gone the experts expect this to be Brown's breakout year (I personally would have ranked Carnell Williams higher). Jordan is the biggest question mark if Schell can forge-up Raider's line they might be right-at least Brooks can hand off the ball 
R. Johnson and Jackson should only get better-solid picks. Tomlinson is god but if Rivers screws up it could hurt his numbers in the 1st 4 games.
Bunch of receivers in the 2nd round: Torry Holt, Steve Smith, Chad Johnson, Fitzgerald, Owens (Harrison's picked 29th, but I'll take him anyway
) Moss isn't that good-or should I say Brooks isn't that good...
QBs:
Eagles have a very weak schedule in the beginning of the year Brown and Gaffney aren't the best receivers but if Baskett makes #3 and McNabb spreads it around to Smith, Schobel and Westbrook you'll have made a steal-especially if you have a returning from injury QB like Palmer or Culpepper in your lineup as well. I'll go the same route I did last year for consistency: Delhomme and Brees--If I was smart I'd start Delhomme more often now that he has Keyshawn, Colbert and Drew to help free-up Smith. Scary picks: Young, Pennington, Grossman, Brooks, Farve, Carr, Leftwich, Smith, Rivers. Possible pleasant surprises: Warner, Kitna, McNabb, Johnson, Simms, McNair, E. Manning. Hiqh caliber question marks: Green, Plummer, Rothelisberger, Vick. Locks: Brady, P. Manning, Hasslebeck, Palmer, Bledsoe, Bulger.
aviod at all costs: any Buffalo QB, Fyre, McCown, Ramsey.

Roger Goodell named new commisioner of the NFL, bio:
-from Action For Healthy KidsRoger Goodell was named NFL executive vice president and chief operating officer by Commissioner Paul Tagliabue in December 2001.
Goodell's responsibilities include serving as president of NFL Ventures, Inc., which oversees the NFL's business units. Goodell supervises all league business operations, including media properties, marketing and sales, consumer products, international, stadium development, special events, and strategic planning. In addition, he is responsible for the league's football operations and officiating departments.
Goodell began his NFL career in 1982 as an intern in the NFL office in New York. In 1983, he worked in public relations and administration with the New York Jets, then returned to the league office in 1984 as a public relations assistant. In 1987 he was appointed assistant to the president of the American Football Conference (AFC), Lamar Hunt, by then-NFL Commissioner Rozelle.

Goodell serves on the boards of the national and New York chapters of Big Brothers & Big Sisters, and he is an officer of NFL Charities, the league's charitable foundation.

Ahhhh....Brinn!
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. John Stuart Mill

How about the Cardinals! Damm what a cool-ass stadium! Retractable roof AND retractable field! I'm not kidding! Looks like a goddam spaceship!! No wonder the Edge didn't have any complaints!! Playing with a revitalized Arrington, Warner and the incredible receiving corps of Fitzgerald, Boldin and Bryant Johnson-not to mention the best kicker in Rackers---now if Lienhart would just sign.
Yes saints too: Bush, McCallister, Brees, Martin and a pretty damm respectable receiving corps of J. Horn, Stalworth (damm good return man too) and C. Horn!!!
