Arm-Strength Questions Still Dog Matt Barkley After Pro Day from USA Today
Quarterback Matt Barkley kept his arm under wraps at the NFL scouting combine in February, saying his injured shoulder would be "perfect" for Southern California's pro day.
That day arrived Wednesday, and Barkley was solid but definitely imperfect, completing 56 of 62 passes in front of scouts from all 32 NFL teams.

While the hype centered around the "skill position" players Wednesday, the big winner may have been safety, T.J.

Pro Sports Can Help End Rape from The Nation
Yes, rape culture and violence against women exists in every cultural sphere: the armed forces, music, advertising and a political world where people actually debate the differences between "rape" and "legitimate rape," But sports bears a very specific responsibility to take this struggle on. No other institution reaches more men and no other institution plays a greater role in teaching boys how to define their own manhood and masculinity.

Instead, there's stress, ulcers, divorce, heart disease and death.
