When Ohio University safety Michael Mitchell was the 47th overall draft pick in the NFL Draft last week, no one was expecting it. Even ESPN was unprepared; it had none of his highlights to show the astonished audiences. But Oakland Raiders coach Tom Cable, knowing that Mitchell was on many teams' radars, decided he wanted the player he calledprobably the most ferocious hitter in the draft.
May is the month the five major broadcast networks unveil their programming decisions for next season. For fans of certainties like the Law & Order franchise, Lost and The Mentalist, these upfront presentations will only reinforce assertions of invincibility.

Injuries hampered the senior from Strattanville, Pa., early in his career. He broke his wrist as a sophomore and took the field just 27 times in 2008. But he's back with a purpose this season, starting every game and batting behind the leadoff combo of Gauntlett Eldemire and Marc Krauss. He is second on the Bobcats with a .396 average at the plate and has pelted a team-high 16 doubles to go with eight home runs.
