The moment we’ve all been waiting for is almost here! The NFL returns to television tonight as they broadcast the 2014 draft live from New York. The Houston Texans own the number one overall pick and everyone is excited to see exactly who they draft. It might be the monster defensive end Jadeveon Clowney or even quarterback sensation Johnny Manziel. After a disappointing 8-8 season last year the Dallas Cowboys hold the 17th pick in the draft and need a lot of help at safety. Tune in live at 7pm on ESPN to see how all of the action unfolds!

People here in the Permian Basin really love football and I do too! Unfortunately we have to wait all summer before we even see some games being played. I know it’s a bummer because we all hate to wait, but that’s just the way it goes. Thankfully there are some things left in our world that never take a break, like the Permian Basin’s favorite free classifieds paper!
