The 2010 NFL Draft was all about defense and the offensive lines. A real lunch pail type draft. 2011 looks like it’s about flash, explosiveness and skill players. I have never seen a class this loaded with receivers and quarterbacks. The wideouts especially.

Being born in Cuba, a country where freedom of speech is non-existent, it’s startling to observe how Venezuela, where I was happily raised, is fast becoming Cuba’s mirror image: Dismantling of fundamental democratic rights deserved by its people and citizens of the world.

For example, you said that all Chavez-winning elections in Venezuela were “transparent.”
