Fan Fun at the NFL Scouting Combine
While watching the NFL scouting combine a thought hit me: Wouldn’t it be great if the average fan could get a chance to test their skills against ultimately the NFL’s best future prospects? Kind of like when NFL experts make their game predictions and include the picks of a monkey who spins a wheel or picks a lucky banana out of a basket. Lately the bone-head lucky picks are more often boner picks where smoking hot women pick games of teams that they have never heard of. Never the less comic relief could add more viewers to something that many find very boring.
Imagine going to Indianapolis and showing off your skills or lack thereof? You would get measured, weighed, and fully examined by one of the best medical staffs around. Then off to show your stuff in six drills each participant will take part in. Here is a

Unpredictable Tim Tebow
Predicted anywhere from a first-round franchise savior, to a mid- round fullback/tight end prospect, Tim Tebow definitely offers the most intrigue and curiosity in this year’s NFL Draft. How he produces at the highest level becomes another question.
Questions lay abound for the 6-2 236-pound star out of Florida who played with his heart on his sleeve every down of his college career. Most NFL decision makers are centering their concerns around his throwing motion (which he has revamped and will unveil at Florida’s Pro Day), his ability to escape pressure and whether he can succeed as a dropback passer in the NFL.
Don Banks of Sports Illustrated, projected Tebow to be picked 26th, by the Arizona Cardinals. ESPN.com graded him at a 71, which would put him toward the end of the third round. Some analysts believe he’d be a good fit for a Wildcat team, while others think he’s too big and not quick enough for the formation.
Whether Tebow becomes the next Peyton Manning, Lorenzo Neal or Jim Sorgi (Manning’s lightly used backup for the past seven years), there should be no doubt that Tebow will be around the league for a long time. He is a natural leader who will offer much more than an
Westbrook’s Sour Grapes
You could say that Brian Westbrook’s release this week has left him with a bad taste in his mouth. Today the ex-Philadelphia Eagle running back told The Waddle & Silvy Show on ESPN 1000 in Chicago that he wouldn’t be surprised to see Donovan McNabb traded or released soon.
“It wouldn’t shock me at all if he got traded or released,”
“I know that he is very unappreciated in Philadelphia. . . . He’s definitely unappreciated for the things that he does and the things that he brings to Philadelphia.” Westbrook said
Westbrook obviously wants to say; that he feels unappreciated for all the things done in Philadelphia, but has for some reason involved the Eagles QB. McNabb always seems to be used as the microphone for the media in that city, fans and players. People don’t say: “what a ugly day out today” they say “McNabb said it was suppose to be sunny”
Brian Westbrook had also mentioned he was surprised that the team didn’t want to just re-do his contract, hinting that he would have taken less money to remain apart of the team.
We have been waiting to use this picture for a while… Brain’s comments sound very much like something some old guy would say.
Eat it 36, karma from the fantasy football year you kneeled on the 2 yardline and costed me a championship
10 Things to do now that the NFL Season’s Over
In reality, this list could be taken down to one for some fans: WAIT FOR NEXT SEASON. For the rest, here are 10 ideas to get through the next six months:
10). WATCH BASKETBALL- The NBA season is just past the midway point, and March Madness is just around the corner for NCAA followers. For a lot of gamblers, this is the second best time of near, next to number two on this list. Note: don’t get drunk at the bar and lay your life savings on the 16-seed in the NCAA Tourney because “you’ve got a hunch they’re due this year.”
9). WATCH BASEBALL- Pitchers and catchers begin reporting to Spring Training next week. If you can make it through the lack of excitement of split- and inter- squad games, then this could be an enjoyable (and profitable) time of year. And since baseball viewership has declined since the last ‘90s, let me gave you one piece of advice: if you find a sportsbook with an over/under on Barry Bonds homeruns this year, stay. He’s out of the game, and though he hasn’t officially retired, it’s quite unlikely he’s coming back. Then again, Brett Favre is…isn’t…is…isn’t….retiring. Is…isn’t…
8). ANALYZE THE 2009 NFL SEASON- From a gamblers perspective, this would be a heck of a time to review last year’s games, wagers won and lost, and trends unnoticed through the past season. Doing this can give you a solid edge when you throw down the bankroll next year. But, don’t overanalyze it, or you’ll be living in a van down by the river.
7). GET CRACKING ON THAT HONEY-DO LIST- Most of us are in the dog house with the women in our lives since we neglected the house, cars, yard, bills, etc…these past six months.
Your Woman’s Version Of The Super Bowl
This is a version of someones nightmare, in which you are forced to watch this game instead of the real Super Bowl with a bunch of women while talking about shoes. The dream would be you looking for the remote control, yelling things like “I’m missing the Super Bowl! ” or “WTF!” while all the chicks in the room tell you that you’re wrong….and stupid.
You wake in a cold sweat…
It was just a dream
