If you've got 10 minutes today watch this video that tells the story of cancer survivor and former standout Syracuse punter Rob Long as he pursues his dream of punting in the NFL. It is fantastic. Best of luck to you Rob - you're an inspiration.

Exclusive: How Mike Vick Beat LeSean McCoy in a Foot Race
We've hit what we call the slow news period for the NFL. Between now and training camp, not much will happen -- except things like Mike Vick beating LeSean McCoy in a race. According to the always reputable Pro Football Talk, McCoy had been taunting Vick for weeks, calling him an old man.
That led to a race, which according to back up safety Colt Anderson, didn't go so well for McCoy:
Vick just beat Shady in a 40 yard race. @mikevick
— Colt Anderson (@AndersonColt) May 2, 2013
This seems implausible, seeing as how McCoy is close to a decade younger and didn't spend a substantial amount of time eating prison food. So we did some digging. It turns out that a '72 Impala back-fired moments before the race began and Vick took off and never looked back. Hey, it happens.

Scott Shafer is a Hard Nosed Long Driver
Can Syracuse football coach Scott Shafter orchestrate a blitz? Yes he can.
Can Syracuse football coach Scott Shafer swear during press conferences? Yes he can.
Can Syracuse football coach Scott Shafer hit his driver? It certainly appears so. According to the 11 Warriors, during yesterday's Chick-Fil-A Bowl Challenge Long Drive Competition the new, hard-nosed coach finished third in the coaching division with a drive of 281 yards.....which, while it's not Happy Gilmore-esque, isn't too shabby. What's even more interesting, he bested Hall of Fame basketball coach Jim Boeheim by 26 yards.
Don't tell Gregg Doyel, but apparently Boeheim retired and didn't tell anyone, as he's no longer a coach, but rather a "celebrity."

Lola Picks Syracuse to Beat Indiana, Advance to Elite 8
ESPN anchor, friend of the blog (if you can even call this a blog anymore), and all around good guy Anish Shroff has a very special preview/prediction for the Sweet Sixteen which starts tonight.
His dog Lola picked every game......including the Orange to beat the hated Indiana Hoosiers tonight. That's one fine dog you've got there Mr. Shroff. Very fine indeed. Go Orange.
