Fourth Of July Linkapalooza

Burgers, fireworks, hot dogs. Congratulations to Joey Chestnut for going back to back at the hot dog eating championships. I don't know how he does it.. I can barely eat two.

While your hopefully not blowing your hand off with M-80's here's some links to wind down the night and hopefully sober you up some:

Excellent article over at ESPN about how the current salary cap fiasco will likely net a lot more undergraduates declaring for the draft.

Fantastic article over at ArmchairGM to help get you prepped for the NFL season. And it has a twist!

SI's recap of Joey Chestnut's second straight hot dog eating contest victory.

A little shameless self-whorification, get prepped for your fantasy football draft with the top ten skill position rookies for this year, over at The Bad News Bloggers.

And if your still in the mood for a little more fantasy football prep work, this isn't an article but the site is fantastic: Fantasy Football Cafe. Very, very good stuff there -- especially in the forums.

And don't forget to take a moment and remember all the men and women overseas and here at home who protect the U.S.A. It's because of them that we live in the best country in the world.
