No wonder everyone on this board is nuts
BringBackFergy replied to \GoBillsInDallas/'s topic in Off the Wall Archives
What shocks me is these scientists can create a robot that knows how I feel, can be intimate and talk, but we still have gubment employees that push buttons allowing millions of gallons of sewage and toxic waste into our pristine waters here in the northeast. #automaticlockawareness -
When I think of players who have given chocolate penises to DJ’s/media members, I think of Fred Jackson, Kent Hull, Andy Dalton and now AB. It’s just a nice way to say “Hey, I appreciate you having me here and I’m doing better” https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/antonio-brown-gifts-charlamagne-and-dj-envy-chocolate-penises-news.103759.html?_amp

Yes he was murdered. And they found Stevie Wonder’s finger prints all over the weapon. Blind my ass. -

Proposal: New NFL Combine Tests/Drills

Proposal: New NFL Combine Tests/Drills

Hoping everyone here is as excited about the NFL Scouting Combine as I am. It's always fun to see the tomorrow's NFL stars showcase their talents. Unfortunately, the combine drills are both boring and overdone. In addition, I don't think they truly capture or gauge the athleticism our scouts need to consider on whether a player should be drafted. Was just thinking about the various drills and tests last night. Didn't get much sleep because I worry that we've been conditioned to accept the 40 yd dash, bench press or the three cone drill as the "be-all-end-all" without considering other options that might more accurately reflect the skills needed to play NFL football. Here's a few ideas that I came up with to replace some of the old, stale drills we see every year and hoping the NFL responds to my email by changing over to these newer tests for agility and strength. 1) Benchpress is supposed to test raw stength. It doesn't. It simply shows which guys have been gym rats for 8 years and whoever has short stubby arms can do more reps. REPLACE with "Bull Push": Players go to the parking lot and push a Angus bull (secured with a heavy chain) as far as they can for 60 seconds. The weight of a bull is equivalent to five offensive linemen so the draftee will be testing his strength against similar weight as in a game situation. The bull will push and pull in all different directions (unlike a bar with weights that goes only up and down) 2) Three cone drill is supposed to test quickness and agility, as well as proper recall for the sequence in which you run around the cones. REPLACE with "22 Cone Drill": 22 Cones are placed within 10 yards of each other and the coach gives each candidate a new sequence for every player. The cones are numbered so the coach may say "Go 4, 8, 3, 1, 9, etc." This spreads out the quickness beyond two yards (which doesn't help any of us evaluate the player) and also tests the players ability to recall a 22 number sequence to see if their brains are working. 3) 40 Yard Dash is supposed to test straight line speed. The problem is, how often do we see linemen or LB's run straight lines. REPLACE with "Gladiator Run": The player lines up at the goal line. NFL Scouts and GM's watch as the player must maneuver through a maze of tackling dummies, trap doors and rope swings/water pits. The obstacles act as opposing players in real live game action. 4) Broad Jump is supposed to test leg strength and ability to jump over a pile of people. No. It's an antiquated test that my grandfather won in Field Day 1927. REPLACE with "Blindfolded Giant Hopscotch" : The player is allowed to review the hopscotch set-up for thirty seconds and then, once blindfolded the stadium blares some music of the player's choice. Some may pick rap, country or classical. The player tosses a 25lb boulder into the field of play, then proceeds to jump with both feet through each section of the field calling out "1, 2, 3, etc" until they reach the boulder/field stone. Once they locate the stone, they hold it above their heads and jump in the same fashion to the starting line. This tests recall, trust, leg strength, endurance and voice volume. 5) Wunderlick test is supposed to test basic common sense intelligence and approach to problem solving. Big mistake. There is no room for creativity or individuality because all players come from different backgrounds. REPLACE with "Free Draw": The player is given a pad of paper and three markers. The player chooses which color markers to use (red, green, black, yellow, mauve, turquois, etc). The scouts are able to watch the player in a private viewing room as the player begins to select different colors, draw various shapes, lines, hearts, daggers, smiley faces or landscapes. The scouts and GM's can garner much more information re. the background of a player and measure his creativity which plays a huuuuge role in the modern NFL. There's other drills I'm thinking about and hope the NFL makes a real change to the monotony of the Combine. After all, we are drafting humans not cattle. Make the Combine tests fair for humans in real life situations like the examples above.

Do You Think Stevie Wonder Is Really Blind?
BringBackFergy replied to Gugny's topic in Off the Wall Archives
* When he goes from one gig to another how does he know the directions when he drives there? He can see. * When he braids his hair and puts blue, red, green beads in perfect sequence? He can see. * When he stands next to Dionne Warwick and Diana Ross in “We Are the World” (two of the hottest women in music history). He can see. Free Your Mind. -
But I’m not looking for a room to rest. I need to pee.

Dumb question: When going to an appointment or another office, I might ask “Do you have a bathroom?” If someone was a wise ass they’d say “Uhhhh, no. Just go outside by the fence” Plus, it’s not a bath I’m looking for...I have to pee. So what do you call the place to relieve yourself when in another office or home?

Jags unlikely to allow Yannick Ngakoue to test FA
BringBackFergy replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
LOL. Wait one cotton pickin’ minute. We’re talkin’ ‘bout the Jagoffs, right? Nice try Doug. He’s ours. -
Yep. I’d give Dad a kiss on the cheek even until he died at 81. Nothing wrong with it. You love and respect your Dad. That’s cool. If you open mouth kiss your yellow lab after she whores around the neighborhood then take this crap to the UKC Message Board.

Robert Saleh vs. Sean McDermott...Who you got?
BringBackFergy replied to BringBackFergy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
1-2??? 1-2??? “The Process” would tease Saleh with 1-2 holds in the first minute. He’d save the other 63 holds for the final two rounds. Like a cat with a mouse. -

Stupid is as stupid does sir! -
I didn't know this. Ingredients for "The Process" 1 part "Players buy in" 2 parts "Team chemistry" 1 part "Talent" Cooper has talent...but what would we have with a guy who doesn't want to be here and others look at him in the locker room with a fat contract? It disrupts everything we've built for the last two years.

@teef , @Gugnyand @Royale with Cheese are the only ones who challenge my movie knowledge (they are typically wrong like you) Matt Damon was in My Bodyguard. Matt Dillon was Will Hunting's loyal buddy who worked construction. -

Kollar was wrestling trained bears that were de-clawed. McDermott eats rusty bolts and sleeps on a bed of nails. He's been doing it for 20 years. Your theory is misguided and, sadly, incorrect. You failed to consider "The Process" (which, incidentally, is McDermott's stage name and emblazoned on the back of his fighting robe)
