Seastrunk is a must-watch sleeper. He averaged 7.6 yards per carry in Baylor's wide-open offense the last two seasons, and that included 5.0 yards per carry with 10 TDs in the red zone. He's a compact runner at 5-foot-9, 205 pounds, and he ran a 4.51 in the 40 at the NFL Combine. Seastrunk is going to have to wait his turn, and he'll also need to adjust to playing in a more pro-style attack....

Two thousand years later, the centuries themselves are measured from the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. At the end of this year, calendars in India and China, like those in Europe, America and the Middle East, will register the dawn of the third millennium. It is a convention, of course: a fiction and function of Western cultural hegemony that allows the birth of Jesus to number the days for Christians and non-Christians alike....
