He's not the only Fat Albert out there grubbing for cash...

CIN refused to let him step on the field during camp until he dropped at least some of his bloat. In a day or two after he got on the turf, his poor knee screamed "foul".
I would never pass myself off as much of an evaluator of college talent - but this fellow seems to have those "intangibles". UCinn has had a bit of resurgence the past few years - the pro players DE Trent Cole and TE Brent Celek are notable.
The talking heads seem to feel that 6 UC players will be drafted - heady territory for their program. In the late rounds, or as a UDFA, I would keep an eye on their DT Terrill Byrd. I don't think he can carry the weight to be a NFL DT regular, but he is cat-quick and has it in him to make the big play.
Consider yourself lucky not being seated next to a loud-mouthed, fidgeting, complaining sort, just itching to deplane and then flipping his phone on and loudly shouting "I'm here! I'm important! It's all about me! I'm here."
He's also a very good ST player, and can long snap. And a better pass catcher than Vrabel. A smart, motivated kid with a lot of versatility...it will be interesting to see if he becomes a good pro.
My brother cashed in on Bill's extra cops-on-the-street scam. He was given a pager and told to be on call, and got paid a double salary for the better part of a year. He got paged two, maybe three times to report beyond his normal shifts. His department did hire some part-time, non-civil service help to shovel some paper around and go out and get coffee, who were shown the door the moment the taxpayer ducats stopped.

Well...based on your recommendation, and since you are one of the few here that hasn't insulted, poked, swore at, ridiculed, or otherwise abused my innate good nature through the years...I'll look for it (I wrote it down).
$800K earmark for his airport that serves less that 10K passengers per year. Democratic party love for the people; how are your local food banks getting on?

It's from CNN, so it must be true...
I think so, too. If CIN picks him, they are looking for an eventual replacement for RG Bobbie Williams. They certainly have question marks about LT Levi Jones' chronic injuries, and '06 #2 Whitworths' game 10 serious injury. Losing RT Stacey Andrews wasn't much of a loss - he was a different player after he got the franchise tag cash.
Against Smith, is that they've been burned several times in signing and re-signing players who ballooned up after they got the big $$$. And their owner is in it for the money. He has nothing of his father in him.
