  1.  

    Not sure about actually signing it, but I believe some other #1 overalls were done before the draft, in order to make sure the team should actually draft the player. I want to say Sam Bradford and/or Mario basically had deals done before the draft.

     

    edit: was wrong about Bradford, but could swear I remember a team with the #1 pick negotiating before the draft.

     

    You are definitely right about Mario. His deal was done -- not signed -- the night before the draft. I remember that clear as day. He was sort of a surprising No. 1 that year because of Reggie Bush, and the Texans were finding it much easier to negotiate with Williams.

  2. In the car an hour a day.

    I should mention I'm a manchild.

  3. The Bo Jackson one is really good. It's amazing to hear about some of the things he did growing up and in college. Possibly the greatest athlete ever...if not for the hip injury.

     

    Considering the changes in medicine over the past 20-plus years, it's unfathomable to think he played Major League Baseball after a hip replacement. And hit 29 home runs. Absolutely unreal.
