Years ago TBL said it was, that always cracked me up.

Gotcha. I felt like I might be missing an inside joke or reference from the past.

3. Trying to find the perfect time (as it relates to media uproar) to fire the Wizards coach.

He said hard, not impossible.

Texas is most definitely not in the midwest.

If he has sketchy hands then that is a big flag for me. I hate the WR prospect who “has all the tools but sometimes drops balls due to lack of focus” or crap like that.

i believe one of the top three hardest things to do in sports is make the grab over the middle consistently. not sure what the other two are. probably some golf or baseball related thing

What’s the deal w/ Sanu from the Rutgers crowd? Is he one of these Braylon Edwards types that drops easy receptions and catches the hard ones?

When you’re important enough to have your own Pro Day where you can throw to your own receivers there’s not a whole lot of reason to do it at the Combine

I completely agree. But it’s that set of circumstances that makes the whole thing surreal.

it’s guys like Kirk Cousins who need all the chances they can get to impress scouts that can benefit from it

In his case, less may have been more.

Professional sports can be rather surreal sometimes.

Still get measured, take the Wonderlic and meet with representatives from a bunch of teams…all he didn’t do was throwProfessional sports can be rather surreal sometimes.

Has anyone else tried the bench rep test that they do at the combine? It’s a lot easier when you’re not six foot six and don’t have freakish arms. I put up 42 reps (granted I was around three and a third at that point). And was still able to blast out knuckle children that night.

Via Bruce Feldman on twitter, some 346 DL fatty from Memphis ran a 4.87 40!

Just heard Dontari Poe ran a 4.87 weighing about 350 lbs.

He also put up 44 reps on the bench. Guy is moving himself into the top 10.
