• 2017 NFL draft position preview: Running backs

  17-04-2017 05:44 via ocregister.com
  
  NFL teams don’t draft running backs early anymore — except when they do.
  Forgive the tautology, but such is the nature of what was once considered a premium position. Franchises are happy to roll out backfield committees, unless they’re convinced they’re about to draft a franchise-defining back. And recently, the pendulum has been swinging in favor of the workhorses.
  A two-year drought for first-round running backs ended in 2015 with Todd Gurley, who at 10th overall

  I was never interested in gambling, or even in playing innocent cards, which is weird, because I had genetic reasons to be pre-disposed to the vice.
  My paternal grandfather, allergic to shovels and panning in Arctic streams, would board ships from San Francisco to Alaska as prospectors in the ‘20s still dreamed of the booty from the turn-of-the-century Gold Rush. He’d play gin rummy games all the way up, and turn around as soon as he got there, playing gin all the way back to Califor

  Since anthropologists tell us soup-making dates back at least 20,000 years, there are countless recipes to choose from.
  Asian and French cuisines offer clear, simple soups like miso, egg drop or classic consomme. These minimalist so
