  • All-Nfc North Team
    ALL-NFC NORTH TEAM By Bob McGinn Posted: Dec. 31, 2005 Scouts from each of the NFC North teams were asked last week to rank the top three players in the division at each position. They were not permitted to vote for their own players, and none of the comments that follow in the position-by-position rundown was made by a scout about a player on his own team. A first-place vote was worth three points, a second-place vote was worth two and a third-place vote was worth one. Asterisks denote unanimous selections. OFFENSE NO. 1 WIDE RECEIVER: *Muhsin Muhammad (Chi.), 9 points. Others: Donald Driver (GB), 7; Roy Williams (Det.), 5; Travis Taylor (Minn.), 3. Comments: Muhammad dropped 11 passes and cost the Bears $12 million in signing bonus, but he was light years better than the No. 1 from '94, David Terrell. "It's a bad group," one scout said. "If (Rex) Grossman had been the quarterback it'd have been easier to determine where Muhammad is at in his career." Driver had one of his finest seasons. "He's still a better 2 than he is a 1," one scout said. Williams ranks as a two-year disappointment. "He has to understand the difference between being hurt and being injured," one scout said. LEFT TACKLE: Chad Clifton (GB), 8. Others: Jeff Backus (Det.) and John Tait (Chi.), 6; Bryant McKinnie (Minn.), 4. Comments: Clifton had too many penalties but made first team for the third year in a row. "He's close to elite," one scout said.

The AAU has dedicated itself to proudly offer many different amateur sports and fitness programs available to people of all ages. Initially, the AAU was prominent as a federation for US representation in international competition. It also provided a means for athletes to prepare for the Olympic games. Upon the passing of the Amateur Sports Act of 1978, the AAU focused on the advance- ment of the organization to as many people as they could. Today, the AAU boasts over 500,000 participants and 50,000 volunteers of all ages. There are 56 Districts that comprise the organization and sanction over 34 sports programs, 250 national champi- onships, and more than 30,000 age division events annually. The AAU was established on January 1, 1888, because some members of the National Association of Amateur Athletes (NAAAA) decided that there needed to be a new or- ganization that created standards and uniformity in amateur sport. After composing a constitution and bylaws, 14 charter club members named Harry McMillan the organiza- tion’s first President. In it’s inaugural year, three sports championships were held for boxing, fencing and wrestling in New York’s Metropolitan Opera House.
