If you are at all interested in Sports Betting then you need to understand the 2006 NFL Draft.

What initially seemed to be a predictable rookie draft actually turned into one with much intrigue and surprise. The organization with the overall first selection Clinton-Dix Packers Jersey , the Houston Texans, had been widely believed to have its sights set on selecting USC running back, and Heisman Trophy winner, Reggie Bush. The dynamic playmaker seemed to be just the answer for an organization that had struggled to generate points, or excitement, in it first four years in existence. Adding to the drama, many Houstonians were hoping that the team would select University of Texas standout quarterback, and Rose Bowl hero, Vince Young.

However, in the days leading to the draft Eddie Lacy Packers Jersey , the Texans organization reiterated their commitment to franchise quarterback, David Carr and announced that they would not be selecting Young with the first pick. With Young out of the picture, the team began contract negotiations with Bush and North Carolina St. defensive end, Mario Williams. Williams was thought to be a cant miss defensive prospect in the mold of Julius Peppers, or even the legendary, Reggie White. But with Bush being touted as a once in a lifetime player, it appeared that Williams was just being used as a bluff in negotiations with Bush.

Unable to come to agreement with Bush and his representatives, hours before the draft, the Houston Texans announced that they had an agreement in place with Mario Williams, and that he would the #1 selection in the 2006 NFL draft. NFL fans were shocked Randall Cobb Packers Jersey , analysts were stunned and Texans fans were downright angry. For a team that needed offense and excitement, Bush seemed to be the only choice, regardless of the price. Texans management immediately began to justify and put a spin on their decision to take Williams, and insisted that the defensive stud was whom the team needed to build around, and that the decision was not strictly a financial one.

After the Texans passed on him, Reggie Bush landed in the laps of the long-suffering New Orleans Saints. As nobody had seriously anticipated Bush being passed over by the Texans, this may have been the greatest day in franchise history. A sense of hope was restored to a city that had never had a winning football team and was recently devastated by Hurricane Katrina.

The third pick in the draft, owned by the Tennessee Titans, also had a bit of mystery and subplot attached to it. The team refused to re-sign veteran quarterback Steve McNair to a long-term contract and it was generally accepted that they would build the future of the team around a quarterback with that third draft pick. The question was, would it be Vince Young (a favorite of owner Jordy Nelson Packers Jersey , Bud Adams) or USC quarterback, Matt Leinart (a favorite, and former pupil, of offensive coordinator, Norm Chowd). In the end, the man signing the checks won out, and the Titans selected Vince Young. Back in Houston, many people believed that this was just another example of Adams rubbing their noses in the dirt, much like he did when he moved the citys beloved Houston Oilers to Tennessee in 1997. Finally, in what was largely considered the biggest surprise of the entire draft Clay Matthews Packers Jersey , Matt Leinart was not selected until the tenth pick, falling to the Arizona Cardinals.

Arguing, fighting, and withdrawing all have the effect of creating emotional distance. Sadness and anger maintain the distance. If more conflict occurs before these feelings can be resolved, the relationship progressively gets worse and may end.

The following relationship advice can help you to minimize the damage of conflict and get back on a positive track .

REDUCING ANGER AND SADNESS. Anger and sadness do not have to be completely gone before a couple can work on rebuilding. These feelings help couples to work on their relationship. When the anger or sadness is very intense, however, it must be reduced before progress can be made. With extreme sadness or anger it is better to seek professional counseling. Not to seek counseling jeopardizes the individuals as well as the relationship.

REBUILDING TRUST. No matter how much we want someone to trust us (or they want us to trust them), trust must be earned. Anything which results in physical or emotional injury to another results in a loss of trust to a greater or lesser extent. The longer and more severe the action, the greater damage to trust. The following three actions, done consistently over time Aaron Rodgers Packers Jersey , will rebuild trust:

1. Listening. Listening affirms that the other person's thoughts and feelings are important. Because relationships are supposed to make us feel important and special, a lack of listening will ultimately destroy a relationship. Talking about problems is not helpful if neither person is listening. To listen well:

*do not say whether you agree or not

* do not say how it makes you feel

* do not try to correct the other person

* do not try to give any kind of evidence that what the person is saying is wrong

Make the goal of your listening to understand what the other person is saying and why they are saying it-- without trying to influence them in any way. A useful structure is for the person speaking to hold an object (such as a pillow). Only the person holding the object is allowed to speak. The object can be passed by the speaker to the other person.

2. Being positive. Whenever you talk to your partner focus on what you want rather than what you don't want. Do not criticize or complain. Do not say, "I want you to not...". That is still saying what you don't want. Say the reverse of that, what you do want--"I want you to...".
