If you haven't already, I recommend that you go to the Santoro Filoso article, and then click on the links of the games.  I've really enjoyed reading the sports pages from 1960 and 1961.

Now let's look at Tuesday's draft.

Shortly before the event, the league expanded the number of rounds from seven to eight.  I think that it was because so many of the top prospects signed with the NFL. http://3downnation.com/2016/05/02/cfl-adding-rounds-to-draft/#comments

Now let's take a quick look at this year's pre-season games.  You may disagree, but I don't think that any of the head coaches care about winning these games.  I think they primarily want to get a good look at the new faces to decide who will make the team.

For the next 24 hours I hope to find as many pre-season picks and previews as I can.  As I always say every year at this time, I love the week before Opening Day because of all of the previews.
