Brian Carlyle Cook (born 14 November 1955) is a Scottish-born Australian businessman and former Australian rules football player and coach who is the current Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Geelong Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
 Cook played for a number of different clubs in several Australian states and territories, including the Box Hill Football Club in the Victorian Football Association (VFA), the Melbourne Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL), and the East Perth and Subiaco Football Clubs in the Western Australian National Football League (WANFL), and later captain-coached the Ainslie Football Club in the Australian Capital Territory Football League (ACTFL).
 After his retirement from coaching, Cook occupied positions with the Australian Sports Commission and the West Australian Football Commission, before being appointed CEO of the West Coast Eagles in 1990.
 He quit this position in 1999 to take up the same role with Geelong.
The National Football League Draft, also called the player selection meeting, is an annual event in which the National Football League (NFL) teams select eligible college football players.
 It serves as the league's most common source of player recruitment.
 The basic design of the draft is that each team is given a position in the drafting order in reverse order relative to its record in the previous year, which means that the last place team is positioned first.
 From this position, the team can either select a player or trade their position to another team for other draft positions, a player or players, or any combination thereof.
 The round is complete when each team has either selected a player or traded its draft position.
 Certain aspects of the draft, including team positioning and the number of rounds in the draft, have seen revisions since its first creation in 1936, but the fundamental methodology has remained the same.
 Currently the draft consists of seven rounds.
 The original rationale in creating the draft was to increase the competitive parity between the teams as the worst team would, ideally, have chosen the best player available.
Philip John Ragazzo (June 24, 1915 – October 3, 1994) was an American football offensive lineman in the National Football League for the Cleveland Rams, the Philadelphia Eagles, and the New York Giants.
 He played college football at Western Reserve University (now known as Case Western Reserve University) and was drafted in the eighth round of the 1938 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers.
 A graduate of Niles High, he was a three-year letterman for the Red Dragons, graduating in 1934.
 He was an all- county and All-Ohio selection during a storied scholastic career, playing collegiately for Western Reserve from 1934-37 where he earned All-American honors as an offensive lineman.
 Considered one of the toughest at his position during his era, he played seven seasons in the National Football League, starting first with the Cleveland Rams (1938-40) and then moving over to the Philadelphia Eagles (1940-41) after being traded by the Rams.
 His play was interrupted by World War II, but he returned to the NFL as a member of the New York Giants where he played from 1945-47.
 After football, he became a history teacher at Niles McKinley Hs where he taught until his retirement.
 He died in Niles, Ohio of natural causes, October 3, 1994 at age 79.

The Minnesota Vikings are a professional American football team based in Minneapolis.
 They are members of the North Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) in the National Football League (NFL).
 A franchise was granted to Minneapolis businessmen Bill Boyer, H. P. Skoglund and Max Winter in 1959 as a member of the American Football League (AFL).
 The ownership forfeited their AFL membership in January 1960 and received the National Football League's 14th franchise on January 28, 1960 that started play in 1961.
The Australian Football League stages the highest-level senior Australian rules football competition in the country.
 However, since the late 1980s, when the former Victorian Football League expanded interstate to become the modern Australian Football League, there has not been a league-wide reserves competition; and, since 2000, there has been no dedicated reserves competition of any kind.
 As a result, AFL-listed players who are not selected in their senior teams are made eligible to play in one of the second-tier state leagues: the Victorian Football League, South Australian National Football League, West Australian Football League, or North East Australian Football League.
 The system used to accommodate AFL-listed players within these leagues varies considerably from state to state.
