Maybe you can tell him wear to find a paper bag.

That reminds me of a story from fifth grade. Our class had a guinea pig that a different kid would take home on the holidays to care for. One Thanksgiving a kid named Victor Schmuchler took the guinea pig home. Victor had to weigh close to 250lbs. in 5th grade. When we came back on that Monday, said guinea pig was gone. It turns out that the guinea pig got out of it's cage and Victor, who was going downstairs for a midnight snack, stepped on the poor thing. That kid was so big it must have smushed up between his toes. I can't imagine the final seconds of that poor guinea pigs life looking up at this giant foot coming down on it.

So does your wife!!

Aye Aye Aye Aye Aye Yi Yi!! MODS NOBODY SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO POST WHILE ON CRACK!!!! What he said!! The main post would be funny if it weren't extremely sad.

What he said. Al Davis drafts elite athletes he hopes will turn into football players. Successful teams draft football players.

I think Easley is easily one of the Bills best draft picks.

Nice to see the same old silly Deerball back here. Don't be a dick.

IIRC, Spiller said he wants to get in as soon as possible. I don't think it will be a problem.

I'm hoping that Gailey doesn't use those techniques.

I thought the title of this was; "Will Croner sign with Bills?" I guess I missed the s at the end of sign.

Link?

Maybe he was just trying to set up a meeting for himself.

It's sad that a culture kills women for losing their virginity.

What a bunch of bastards!!! Let the parents decide!! The kids are being taught that authority is oppressive!! We'll have a bunch of little anarchists running around soon!!!

In most of the things I posted above they say his arm strength is good enough to make all the throws. His performance last year was after coming in and starting shortly thereafter. I'm excited to see what he can do this year. If he can get his head on straight he might be a real find.

http://www.nfl.com/players/dwaynewright/profile?id=WRI168848 He played in 15 games in 2007 and currently is with Philiadelphia.

I thought she told the cop she couldn't remember. Of course now that the cop has been exposed as a BR admirer that may be suspect.

Can't find one.

Linky War Room analysis POST-DRAFT TAKE: The Packers just sent Aaron Rodgers a strong signal that he just might not be the team's long-term answer at QB. Brohm is a much better prospect now than when Rodgers entered the NFL in 2005. If Rodgers struggles in '08, Brohm will step in and take the job for good. PRE-DRAFT REPORT: Arm strength: Makes all the throws with zip and accuracy, but lacks a true rocket arm. Footwork, delivery and release are so efficient, they make arm look stronger than it really is. Cannot make great downfield throws when unable to stride into them. Grade: 8.5 Accuracy/delivery: Has a compact and efficient release; combined with footwork, consistently gets rid of the ball quickly. Sometimes gets deliberate when throwing, leading to defenders closing in on and breaking up passes. Is accurate on throws all over the field. Grade: 8.5 Field vision: Shows great field vision, identifying coverages and making correct decisions. Doesn't get fooled by schemes and switches, and gets the ball to the right man. Grade: 8.5 Running ability: Shows great, quick footwork to slide and move well in the pocket to avoid pressure to buy more time. Lacks the ability to tuck the ball and run to make big plays. Grade: 6.5 Intangibles: Comes from family of coaches; clearly has the work ethic, smarts and feel for the position that is rare for a college QB. Leads more by example; isn't the vocal, take-command type. Grade: 8.0 Bottom line: Considering Brohm is the son of a coach and his brother coached him at Louisville, it is no surprise that he has great footwork and technique. He typically makes great decisions, although he had to force things trying to carry the offense as a senior. In addition to his strong, accurate arm, Brohm has both the mental and athletic acumen to become a terrific NFL quarterback who starts early in his pro career. Vinnie Iyer analysis Again, another pick for which the Pack will get criticized, but another one I like. Great value here for a quarterback who might end up being the best one in this class. This should light a fire under Aaron Rodgers and also gives Green Bay someone to develop if Rodgers can't quite be the successor to Brett Favre. Correspondent Analysis Could have come out his junior year and been a higher pick. Has an injury history, which should worry the Packers. He has sustained a torn ACL in his knee, a torn thumb ligament and a torn labrum during the past three seasons. He doesn't have the strongest arm and doesn't run that well, but he is accurate and seems to play well off play-action fakes, a Packers specialty. He probably is ready-made enough to be the backup. How much more he'll grow is the big question. -- Tom Silverstein

Brian Brohm's NFL Draft Preview The Professor Published March 07, 2008 by: Brian Brohm the golden boy of Louisville is headed to the NFL Draft. Brohm has always been a hyped player and he proved himself early on in Louisville. He was named the Big East Freshman of the year in 2004. When he was handed the reins as a sophomore Brohm passed for 2883 yards and 19 touchdowns. He combined over his last two years to throw for 7073 yards and 46 touchdowns. Brohm is the real deal and is even perfect from a physical standpoint to be a NFL quarterback. Strengths: He is perfect for a quarterback. He has a nice build and is tough enough sit in the pocket and take a hit. He has an excellent arm and is pretty accurate with his throws. He has enough mobility to move around the pocket and buy some time. He has also shown smart decision making on the field. His efficient play is shown through his 71 TD to 24 interceptions over his career at Louisville. Weaknesses: He can't make plays with his legs. He also has a problem with staying healthy. He tore his ACL as a sophomore. He also tore ligaments in his thumb and needed surgery on left shoulder last year. This makes him an injury risk for any team looking to draft a quarterback. Brohm will have to stay healthy in the NFL to lay concerns about his durability to rest. But, for now there are definitely worries about his health. Where he could fall: His most likely landing spots are Kansas City at # 5 and Baltimore at # 8. Kansas City can't depend on Brodie Croyle and needs a new quarterback. Baltimore needs a successor for Steve McNair and Brohm can fill that role. Chicago at # 14 is in need of a quarterback as Rex Grossman has failed. These three teams seem to be Brohm's most likely landing spots as they all need quarterbacks now or will need one in a year or two.

The more I read about him the more I like him. I wouldn't count him out just yet.

BIOGRAPHY: Three-year starter awarded varying degrees of All-Conference honors since his sophomore campaign. Named Big East Offensive Player of the Year in 2005. Senior-year passing numbers included 65.1%/4024/30/12. Numbers as a junior included 63.6%/3049/16/5. Selected by the Colorado Rockies in the MLB draft. POSITIVES: Poised pocket-passer with good intangibles. Displays terrific field sense, goes through progressions, and scans the field looking for the open wideout. Buys time for receivers, makes good choices, and possesses a quick release. Will stand in the pocket to get the ball off and throws with good fundamentals. Sells ball fakes and knows where receivers are on the field. Constantly looks downfield and can roll outside the pocket to make the pass on the move. Displays zip on his shorter throws and puts touch on passes when necessary. NEGATIVES: Cannot escape the rush. Does not have the arm strength necessary to drive deep throws. Gets rattled under the blitz and loses confidence in the face of pressure. Must improve the placement of his passes, as he is usually high or late on timing throws. ANALYSIS: Brohm has been an ultra-productive college quarterback and has benefited from a passer-friendly offense. He possesses the tools to lead a team at the next level, yet he is by no means a franchise quarterback or a sure thing.

Position: Quarterback School: Louisville Status: Senior Height: 6-4 Weight: 225 40-Yard Dash: 4.95 (EST) Positives: Brohm has a very similar body type to Brady Quinn. He's tall and stands with poise. He moves well around the pocket and his patience allows plays to fully develop. He has speed and can be a threat on the ground if necessary, but also like Quinn, prefers to work with his arm rather than his feet. His arm is as good as they come (just ask the MLB team that drafted him). He throws a great deep ball but more importantly, the majority of his passes have touch, making it easy for his receivers to pick up yardage after the catch. Often forgotten is that Brohm has been under the microscope since high school. In 2002 he was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated as one the nations top young quarterbacks. Thus far he is unphased by the spotlight. He doesn't make the mind-bending mistakes that most young QBs tend to when under pressure. His calm and confident nature is the keystone to success as a QB in the NFL. Negatives: There are only two major problems on Brohm’s resume; injuries and touchdowns. Durability is a major question. Anyone looking at Brohm has to be concerned. In 2005 he tore his ACL. Despite the tear, he went through a Carson Palmer-like rehabilitation and was able to start the season opener for his Louisville Cardinals. Just a few games into the 2006 season, Brohm broke his hand. The hand required surgery and he was forced to sit for a month. Overview: When healthy Brohm is one of the best play callers in the nation. He has a Tom Brady swagger with a Carson Palmer-like arm. He's big and strong and makes sound decisions for his team. However, he has a downside that the other top quarterback's don't and that's durability. He appears to be relatively fragile and that could scare teams away from taking him high in the first round of the draft. Projection: Early First Round

Interview with Brian Brohm before the 2007 draft. Part 1 In this exclusive two-part Q&A, Scout.com’s Chris Steuber talked to Louisville QB Brian Brohm about a wide variety of topics. In Part I, Brohm discusses how he dealt with stardom at an early age, the injuries he endured at Louisville, and much more. Part 2 In Part II of this exclusive look at Louisville’s star quarterback, Brian Brohm breaks down his own game by analyzing his strengths and weaknesses, discusses how Atlanta would have been an ideal situation if Bobby Petrino was still on board, answers more questions about Matt Ryan, and much more. CS: The one game that was “must see TV” this past year was the Louisville vs. Kentucky game during Week 3, where you and Andre Woodson went head to head. You completed 65 percent of your passes and threw for 366 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in the loss. Although you guys didn’t pull it out in the end, to watch two of the nation’s best QBs in a shootout was great theater. Looking back at that game, what are your thoughts? Brohm: That was a great game, but unfortunately we were on the wrong end of the stick. I felt like we let that one slip away at the end. Andre Woodson and Steve Johnson connected for a great play at the end. But it was a nice back and forth game that was typical of a rivalry game. First of all, we started out the game with a fumble and an interception. It didn’t start off too well, we spotted them 10 points right off the bat. It was a huge game. There was a lot of excitement. I think that game brings a lot of excitement to the State of Kentucky.
