I've already chronicled my slight infatuation with former Yankees First Baseman Don Mattingly -- bordering on the same psycho, bro-mance levels as my affection for Robert Plant and Jack Bauer -- so I won't rehash it here.
All I'll say is: Happy 48th Birthday, Don Mattingly. Hope you got my card.
...I'm kidding....seriously. I am...

No story on the draft...I mean I know the G-men had a bad draft but jeez...
NFC East Draft Analysis: I didn't see any particularly risky picks in the first couple rounds. I guess you could say it was risky for the Cowboys to forfeit their only Day 1 pick. But for a risky pick, let's look at the Giants going after Cal Poly wide receiver Ramses Barden in the third round. It's always interesting to see division rivals trade with each other. The Eagles traded out of the No. 85 slot to allow the Giants to move up and take Barden. He put up amazing numbers at Cal Poly and you have to love his size (6-6, 229), but he didn't play against elite competition. At the Senior Bowl, he really struggled getting off the line of scrimmage against press coverage. He might end up being a nice red-zone threat, but I was just a little surprised to see the Giants go after him that early in the draft -- especially after taking Nicks. To me, the Barden selection speaks volumes about how the club feels about Sinorice Moss and Mario Manningham. I know we keep reading about Manningham's progress, but I still have my doubts about him.
