From Being Assembly Line Worker to the Next Possible NFL Enlistee

Brandon Crawford, a resident of Indiana is no stranger to life's good and bad experiences. Crawford was once being offered scholarships from mid-major schools for his ability to play football and had financial aid available from the 21st Century Program until one decision changed his whole course of life. Brandon Crawford jumped into the car of a friend that happened to be stolen. Crawford was arrested and his football dreams were stolen just like the car he rode in.

Brandon Crawford worked in a factory and after graduation in 1996, enlisted in the Marines and resided at Camp Pendleton. He was then stationed in North carolina after the September 11th attacks. There is going to be some difficulty for Crawford entering the NFL because his age will play a tremendous factor, but if one looks at his game footage, the performances will not lie, but his age will. Crawford believes he has a shot and refuses to allow anyone to deter his dream.
Since football season ended in November, Crawford has put on about 20 pounds of lean muscle and has a frame that measures 6'3" and 275 pounds. This is a good size for a defensive football player. Crawford has a message to the scouts through his performance and that is his age doesn't affect his ability to play professional football.

Today in Sports: Mayweather Continues His Trash Talking

Floyd "Money" Mayweather currently holds down the number two position in boxing's pound for pound list and his supposed to be opponent Manny Pacquiao is currently at number one and is the pound for pound king. There is a very strong possibility that these two men may never face each other because both of them will have their hands full in separate bouts. Manny Pacquaio is first up to bat as he battles the always tough Joshua Clottey who has never been decisively beat on March 13th. It is very safe to say that Pacquiao may need a miracle to be victorious in this bout. And Floyd will also be scheduled in a fight where he will also need to perform a miracle to gain the win in his bout.

The Michigan native gave a interview to his hometown Newspaper, The Grand Rapids Press and stated that he will no longer take or agree to a 50/50 money split. If Mayweather wins his bout with the great Sugar Shane Mosley, he will then want more for his performances in the ring. Mayweather will want to take majority of money against whoever he faces in the future. He told The Grand Rapids Press in these words, "Instead of 20 or 25 million dollars, he may have to drop to 15, or 17. And you know me, they may have to throw that extra five or 10 on mine, and we can rock and roll. Take it or leave it."

Mayweather also gave his views on the drug testing issue, which he made known that he will agree to stop the test 14 days before the bout. Mayweather said there will be no cut off or there will be no fight. Floyd Mayweather stated that he gave Pacquaio a chance to do the 14 day thing but he wanted to end it 24 days before the fight. Now the fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao will probably never come to fruition because of their current engagements in stiff competition. Both fighters must first get past their opponents in order to have the boxing world once again going in a craze over who is the best pound for pound fighter in the world.
