Is it drafty in here?

Remember the line in the movie "Fletch" where the main character says, "It's all ball bearings."?

This spring, it's all NFL on the major sports networks.

With the NFL draft less than two weeks away, the buildup never has been bigger. Such is the power of the nation's most popular sport. And much of that is attributable to the league itself. The creation of an entire network devoted to the NFL means the need for fresh content is greater than ever.

ESPN, sensing that NFL fans eventually will discover a feast of information on NFL Network, has ramped up its NFL offseason coverage big-time. As my brother correctly told me recently, "Once people visit NFL Network, they're probably not going back to ESPN for football." I agree. "The Network" has more original and more thorough coverage. Where ESPN rates an edge is its Web site, where its writers are well-sourced and well-versed.

NFL fans are the real winners with more options and information available than ever.
