Bill Simmons,


I understand wanting to forget his name, but I'm pretty sure it was Ben Simmons.

I didn't think Billy Cannon was drafted by the NFL....

*OK, he WAS. #1 by the Rams, but he didn't sign with them, he went AFL.

Here's a trivia question, was he the first #1 pick to ultimately not sign? I know we saw a lot of shenanigans in the 80's with the USFL, and some MLB stuff. And where was Rocket Ismail drafted? I remember him going to the CFL instead, but wasn't that before the draft?

We're the only school with multiple #1s in each league.

We need a hockey team so we can get the NHL.
