This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

The last time the NFL and AFL held separate drafts by ShermanOaksND
was on November 27, 1965, for the 1966 season. The college season wasn't yet over. ND played at Miami that night (0-0 tie, the last scoreless game in ND history). The drafts were held in November or December from 1956-57 through 1965-66, although for the first four of those year, the NFL split its early rounds from the later rounds, which were held in January.
The 1943-1945 drafts were held in April, but after that they weren't in the spring again until 1976.
