As you can tell from this morning's Podcast, I was struggling a little last night to get my voice to cooperate.

My brother's bachelor party went off with just a smidge of drama, and plenty of fun was had.

But now it's back to business, as we're less than two weeks away from the NFL Draft.

Let's get another week of NFL and college football links started right, which is impossible not to do, what with three days worth of news to which to link.

THE PROS
NFLDraftCountdown.com's Scott Wright reveals his latest mock draft.

This is really frightening: On the heels of LeCharles Bentley's staph infection trouble, a sixth Brown, receiver Joe Jurevicius, contracts an infection.

A classic clip of Bryant Gumbel, who will no longer do play-by-play on the NFL Network.

We talked a little about the Niners this morning, but what can San Francisco do to turn things around?

We also touched on this last night, but this is a very intriguing draft, because there's no real consensus on where this crop of players ranks. Peter King examines in Monday Morning Quarterback. (This column includes a note I've read elsewhere, on Oklahoma wide receiver Malcolm Kelly opening his mouth and subsequently putting his foot in said mouth.)

Herschel Walker discloses a health ailment he has dealt with for eight years.

Pacman Jones will officially apply for reinstatement tomorrow.

Offensive studs and duds heading into the draft.

What will the Cowboys do with those two first-rounders?

Who are the top running backs in the draft?

COLLEGES
A buddy of mine and I have had a lively debate over this report on that UCF player's death. My contention centers on the fairly safe assumption that UCF and George O'Leary ain't the only ones pushing their players hard.

Our old friend Urban Meyer - did you hear I ... oh, nevermind - yet again connects with the fans.

Good read on the quarterback whose life was "ruined" by Mike Gundy, the Oklahoma State coach who so infamously said, I'm a man! I'm 40!"

Murray State quarterback pranks a cop, gets arrested. Oops.
