My Ballot for the 2015 MLB All-Star Game

In just under a month, some of the games top players will make their way to Cincinnati for the Midsummer Classic. This year's All-Star Game has already generated to some buzz because of the new online voting for the fans. Much of that buzz has been directed towards the AL, where 7 players from the Kansas City Royals currently lead in voting. I give the Royals fans a ton of credit, but this can't happen. It's made MLB take another look at how the All-Star Game should be played. But that's a discussion for another day. Here's a look at my ballot for the 2015 MLB All-Star Game.

National Signing Day for Iowa Preps & Impact

National Signing Day is a special moment for athletes and their families across the country. Signing a letter of intent is a testament to the hard work and sacrifices that were made to reach the next level. For athletes across the state of Iowa, this day gives them a sense of pride and accomplishment.

For the schools and athletic programs that sign these athletes, this is simply the beginning of a long season ahead. Here's a look at the Iowa prep football players who will be putting on a college uniform next season for an in-state school, and discuss the impact they'll make.

I'll also update this list as more in-state recruits commit.

2015 NFL Mock Draft

It's finally that time of year again. In a matter of days all eyes will be in Glendale for Super Bowl 49 between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks. But for the other 30 teams in the NFL, the preparations for next season are already underway. The front offices' are putting together their draft boards to determine which player(s) they will take in May. For some teams, they are a couple of players away from being a Super Bowl contender. For others, this offseason will be the start of a long rebuilding process. Either way, a teams' success hinges on how they draft.

This will be my first, of a series of, mock drafts because a lot can happen between now and draft day. I won't predict any trades, but instead, just select who I feel the team will pick based on need and draft position. Let's get started!
