This weekend a draft is going to be held.

No, not an armed forces draft, the draft for the National Football League.

The number one pick goes to the San Diego Chargers, who were tabbed to pick Eli Manning. His brother Peyton plays for Indianapolis and his dad Archie played for the New Orleans Saints.

Eli has stated he does not want to play for the Chargers and asked that he be traded if the San Diego team picks him.

Pat Tillman turns down 9 million dollars, drafts himself into the service, travels halfway across
the world to lose his life.

Eli Manning is eagerly searching for millions of dollars, tries to bypass the NFL draft, and will
stay here in the US to play a game.

I see the parallels. Two guys who are dedicated to their jobs.
One guy is a hero, the other?

Just another whiny athlete.
