Yeah, we run the gamut here in the FOXSports.com family.

This weekend marked the final weekend of on-field action for awhile. We watched T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Terrell Owens and MVP Adrian Peterson light up the scoreboard during the 2008 Pro Bowl in Hawaii. Naturally, I wasn't going to let football leave me without a fight.

The game ends, we have some dinner and we're settling in for the evening. So, my wife (who continues to indulge my obsession with the sport) asks me whether I wanted to watch the Netflix movie laying on the counter. I asked what was on the menu and she replies "NFL Draft Movie." My interest piqued, I tear into the familiar red envelope to reveal "Two Days In April."

The synopsis on the sleeve tells me everything I need to get me to bolt for the DVD player. In a nutshell, "Four draft prospects signed by IMG go through the physical and mental preparations to get ready for the 2006 NFL Draft."

The movie chronicles the training of Derek Hagan, DonTrell Moore, Clint Ingram and Travis Wilson in the weight room, on the field and in the classroom as they move toward achieving every Pop Warner or pee wee football player's dream, to hear their name on draft day. They receive interview training (Rob Stone sells it well), running drills & workouts with Michael Johnson and go through the famous combine in Indianapolis. Along the way, we hear from several NFL agents.

It is an interesting examination of the process, watching the players and their families go through the roller coaster ride and countless drills. Perhaps the most entertaining moment for me came during a Derek Hagan interview with Bruce Allen. "So, do you like coaches who are more laid back or a coach who'll get on you?" I had to pause the dialogue, I was laughing too hard.

I appreciated the portraits painted of each player and their respective backgrounds and of their place in their families and communities. We know the fate of these players now- Ingram is in Jacksonville, Wilson in Cleveland and Hagan in Miami. Moore went undrafted and has since been in several camps, but has yet to stick. The movies does a great job in building up the anxiety of draft day. Interestingly, Ingram, Wilson and Hagan came off of the board in rapid succession in the third round.

For those football fans jonesing for more content as the combine approaches and we anxiously await the first pick in late-April, this film will definitely give you a fix. Not often do you get behind the curtain to witness the highs and lows of a process that may end with a multi-million dollar job offer. You get to see the wizard here.

It seems that dance is all the rage. They say that all things come back in style, and I guess it has been 23 years since the phenomenon that was "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo."

NFL players are always working to produce the next great end zone celebration. Of course, the banishment of props among a whole host of other rules has quieted these displays somewhat. So, while your favorite star can't break off an elaborate celebration, it's your time to shine.

I stated that one of my goals for 2008 was to expand this network, build the community and bring you closer to the game. Well, here's an interesting opportunity that I heard about this week. Trading card manufacturer Upper Deck is giving fans a chance to construct their ultimate end zone dance celebration. On the line is a trip for two to Arizona for the Super Bowl in February including game tickets, hotel and airfare.

You can talk smack and put those pre-wedding dance training sessions back to work. Wouldn't it be something if those efforts brought you another huge prize?

Make us proud.

Wild Card weekend treated us to another four games to review and file in the memory bank for the 2008 fantasy draft campaign. In the end, we saw the fortunes of 2004 first-round picks move in opposite directions.

Ben Roethlisberger threw three first-quarter interceptions, but still had a chance to win Saturday's rematch with the Jaguars. Unfortunately, the Pittsburgh defense couldn't contain the elusive David Garrard in the open field, and his 32-yard scamper on fourth down yielded the game-winning field goal for Josh Scobee.

On the other end of the spectrum, Eli Manning came into Sunday's playoff game with questions about his play and toughness coming from former teammate and media member Tiki Barber and his brother, Tampa Bay cornerback Ronde Barber. Manning showed a fire seldom seen from the fourth-year pro and outplayed the ball-control master, Jeff Garcia. Manning pulled the ball down on countless passes to allow his receivers to create separation in the Tampa Bay cover-2. Underneath routes resulted in strong gains for Amani Toomer and rookie Steve Smith, who elevated his game when it counted. Manning, who committed 27 turnovers during the regular season, could not be rattled and made the big plays when it counted.

The Giants dominated the game, generated tremendous pressure on Garcia and triumphed despite the fact that tailback Brandon Jacobs produced just 50 total yards. However, the bulldozing back made two big plays that resulted in touchdowns. Rookie Ahmad Bradshaw was phenomenal as a change-of-pace back and will be invaluable to the Giants in round two against the Cowboys.

In the other NFC game, Todd Collins completed a touchdown pass to Antwaan Randle El, and then took advantage of a Nate Burleson error on special teams to lift the Redskins to an early fourth-quarter lead over the Seahawks. Matt Hasselbeck was up the task, completing a 20-yard touchdown pass to D.J. Hackett (ratchet him up in your off-season draft rankings) to reclaim the lead. Collins pressed to get the Redskins even, and the strong and underrated Seattle defense went to work. He had not been intercepted since taking over the reins under center. Collins was intercepted twice for touchdowns in the final six minutes to create the lopside 35-14 final score.

The final game of the weekend was a snoozer through the first half. The lone points of the half came off of the leg of Rob Bironas. The big star of the day, a game in which both tailbacks struggled to find running room, was wide receiver Vincent Jackson. Jackson caught five passes for 114 yards, including a tremendous 25-yard strike from Philip Rivers.

The game moved into the fourth quarter with a 10-6 score and was motoring along when LaDainian Tomlinson plunged in from the one-yard line with 8:45 remaining to cap the scoring. But did he score? There was some question about whether the play should have ended when he was met short of the goal line and knocked backward. Forward momentum appeared to be stopped, but the heady tailback recognized that no whistle blew and reached forward for the touchdown. Jeff Fisher had the play reviewed, but the call stood.

I offer it up to you. Did the Titans make the stop?

Right or wrong, the Chargers won their first playoff game in seemingly forever to set up some great matchups for the coming weekend. NE-JAX and IND-SD. Do you remember when Peyton Manning threw six interceptions against the Chargers earlier this season? I guarantee that he hasn't forgotten.

In the NFC, we're looking at DAL-NYG and GNB-SEA. Can Hasselbeck get revenge for his famous smack-talking session that backfired? I still love it to this day.

Grab your popcorn, as our wide receiver friend in Dallas would have you do. It's going to be a fun weekend.

I may be in the minority here, but I was excited to watch each Bonds at-bat in pursuit of historic No. 756.

You can debate everything about the past decade of Major League Baseball. Who did what? Who knew what? And when?

Forget all of it for a moment, and enjoy the fact that we've experienced a confluence of milestones almost never seen before.

Biggio. Thomas. Sosa. Clemens. Glavine. A-Rod. And now, the granddaddy of them all.

It's been a wild ride for Bonds this season. He started the season with a bang, and it seemed inevitable that he'd be hitting the magic milestone ahead of the All-Star break. With more days off to rest his balky knees and an extended funk at the plate, it took awhile. But, on a beautiful night in front of the home crowd in San Francisco, Bonds slammed a Mike Bacsik fastball some 435 feet into the night and into history.

Fans in San Francisco packed the park for back-to-back sellouts against the Nationals for a chance at seeing history made. That's dedication.

There's no question that the past decade has been full of questions. But right now, all we have is rumor, conjecture, speculation about the big names (save Palmeiro) and a bunch of positive tests for minor leaguers and peripheral names such as Neifi Perez.

You can sits on your hands if you want. Or put them in your pocket like the Commissioner. I'm applauding Bonds' longevity and marveling at his career of two decades.

With this chase over, we turn our attention back to the race for October.

Fans and pundits have been slinging ink about the situation that occurred in Tuesday's All-Star Game. You know what I mean. It's not about Ichiro Suzuki's inside the park home run or Barry Bonds' absence in the Home Run Derby. No, it's the fact that Albert Pujols didn't play in the exhibition contest.

I know that home field advantage is on the line. I know that the game was within reach with the big slugger at the ready. But, let's look at the bigger picture. Every swing and at-bat not associated with helping the Cardinals make it back to the post-season dance is a risk that doesn't need to be taken.

The Cardinals are knocking on the door in the NL Central. This figures to be a three-team race down the stretch, with the Cubs also working to topple the division-leading Brewers. They'll also add Chris Carpenter in short order to bolster the staff.

Would he liked to have appeared? Would it have been great for the fans back home in St. Louis? Yes, on both counts.

But, in the end, it's a non-issue. He'll be ready to roll for the second half and put his best foot forward to get the Cards back in the hunt. And that's all that matters.
