Wow. You know you're fucked when Joe Flacco is dissecting your secondary.

Maybe it's supposed to be from the point of view of the bookie.

Right, that's how I read it too. But I mean, it's a 2% return on your money. Why bother?

Wonderlic test that recruits take.

15 sample questions (don't scroll down too far or you'll get spoiled on the answers).

15/15. I'm too smart for the NFL.

I don't think I could get less than 100% on that test unless I actually put effort into fucking up.

I checked it out and figured it was a joke.

There's no way someone scores 7 or 11 or whatever Vince Young scored.

Said that was 15 sample questions. Actual test is 50, or so they say. Still, the only risk of getting something wrong is not giving a shit or paying attention.

More than a few. Not all the NFL players are dumbasses, though. After the QB, the offensive linemen are typically the most mentally proficient, believe it or not.

Joe Flacco begs fate to kick his ass.
As everyone has heard by now, Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco became the NFL's highest-paid player when he agreed to a six-year, $120.6 million contract Friday.

Did you guys see this embarrassing exchange between Richard Sherman and Skip Bayless?

Skip Bayless is an unqualified asshole who has his job only because he says shocking things, but Richard Sherman is proving to be among the league's elite assholes. When you say to someone that isn't your mortal enemy, "I'm better at life than you", you've immediately discredited yourself.

I also find people who continuously talk over other people during discussions/debates to be full of shit.A tactic used by cowards.

They're doing Major League, but with the Browns.

I guess losing has its rewards...

The film, which is reportedly titled "Draft Day" was supposed to be shot in Buffalo, NY, but the city lost out to Cleveland

Oh Buffalo, you can't even win at losing.

LOL
If Duke weren't confined to its own quadrant, half the athletes in the competition might be Blue Devils.

By all accounts, Tom Crean is an asshole.

I've been hearing a LOT of this lately. Obviously, he's getting more press with Indiana being good, and the negative stories tend to leak out with the positive ones.

Helluva coach, though. Maybe cuz I'm not in B10 territory I don't hear the stories. I wouldn't quite call him an asshole for these comments, but it did seem like an awfully strange time to bring up 5 year old issues that the guy was cleared on.
