  1. Might as well just make it all people.
  2. If anyone like platformer games, psychonauts was awesome. I'd give it 9.5/10, and its available on Xbox, PS2, and PC.
  3. Must not have watched Huff Daddy much this year.
  4. Huff Daddy was a big reason why our defense was so good this year. I like him a lot to be honest.
  5. I believe he's talking about Bryant Westbrook, the cornerback, not Brian the running back.
  6. I had it on last night while I was doing other stuff. Was kinda dumb.
  7. This article is complete garbage, and BuffaloBob said perfectly why.
  8. The 6 apparently did happen, but the test was administered incorrectly, therefore it doesn't count.
  9. Yeah, how bout D'Brick?
  10. Oh Yee of little reading comprehension, let us bring you up to speed. The first thing that we are going to talk about today class is the difference between a "rumor" and "fact". The talk was, indeed, in reference to a "rumor" that had been circulating around the NFL combine. ru·mor Pronunciation Key (rmr) n. 1. A piece of unverified information of uncertain origin usually spread by word of mouth. 2. Unverified information received from another; hearsay. This means that it is not necessarily true nor is it false. However, you seem to just take it for fact. Let's take a look at all of the evidence that is against this rumor. First off, let us read an article published by the Houston Chronicle. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/3687374.html The headline is, and I quote, "False score gives Young wrong kind of buzz". The headline seems to be saying that Vince Young's score wasn't really 6. But was it? Let us read on to find out. So, the test was improperly given, and then the mistake was corrected and it was properly administered, whereby the rumor is that he scored a 16. This means that the first time, if he DID score a 6, was NOT a fair score on the Wonderlic. But further proof that this is just a rumor lies in that last sentence. "Because they are included in combine results given to teams after the combine, scores leak out." Note that the results aren't given to teams until AFTER the combine, which means that the teams haven't even received the official Wonderlic results left. You are completely, 100% wrong with your assessment of what happened. According to that Houston Cronicle article, let me quote some opinions of people who work professionally in the NFL. So the Wonderlic, while it is just ONE way to test for the ability to make decisions, it isn't THE way to test for the ability to make decisions. Let's take a look at some of the quarterbacks over the years that have scored a 16 or less on one of their accurate attempts, like apparently Vince Young did (these statistics courtesy of http://www.unc.edu/~mirabile/Wonderlic.htm) Losman, J.P. Culpepper, Daunte McNabb, Donovan McNair, Steve Cunningham, Randall Marino, Dan Now, let us take a look at some of the quarterbacks over the years that did exceptionally well by scoring a 30 or above on one of their accurate attempts: Losman, J.P. Bledsoe, Drew (who we all know makes extremely quick decisions) Henson, Drew Harrington, Joey Brown, Travis Smith, Akili Griese, Brian So yeah, this test must really measure whether someone is smart or stupid. Also, it is a pretty good indicator of how good someone will be on the football field.
  11. Sounds good.
  12. Haha. Agreed, I don't think we should get a quarterback unless its Vince. Brooks can be a good QB though if he lands with the right team, much like Jake Plummer.
  13. http://www.nfl.com/teams/story/HOU/9269639 Texans might trade down. EDIT: ack, didn't see the link in the other post. Mods, please dereet.
  14. I think given talent around Brooks, he can be a good QB. He isn't a QB that can carry a team though, like people here want.
  15. Rumors aren't a reason to NOT draft someone when they aren't true. Using "alleged" to "give yourself a way out" doesn't make that true. I agree that in all probability we aren't gonna draft a QB. There will be no "heartache" if we don't. I'd LIKE to see us draft Vince because after watching him for 3 years, I feel he's something special.
  16. Yeah, because there's proof that he scored a 6 outside of a rumor. What's come out is that he scored a 16 and is plannong on retaking it a 2nd time. The league really wants to lie about this, it makes a huge difference to them. Either way it creates publicity.
  17. I <3 Vince. BTW PTR, its confirmed that he DIDN'T score a 5 on the Wonderlic test.
  18. lol... http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060227/od_uk_...DRpBHNlYwM3NTc-
  19. He's more like 20 lbs heavier then Sproles, and I see them being used in the same way. I just don't think Drew is big enough to hold up in the NFL in a huge role.
  20. Maurice Drew = Darren Sproles
  21. Yeah, I'll give that much more creedence then PFT.com. Hopefully its not true.
  22. http://espn.go.com/page2/s/closer/020228test.html
  23. Except that its going to turn out that there never WAS any ricin in the first place.
  24. I was talking about his wonderlic scores, not the report that you were referring to. Oh, and since when has anything on PFT.com been true?
  25. That Wonderlic score was reported by ProFootballTalk.com
