    Neither of these statements is true.

    People defend themselves against racist charges because it is offensive to be called a racist and because that label will stick regardless of reality.

    You get to decide for yourself whether something was offensive to you, so go ahead and be offended if you like.

    If Manziel impresses the Texans on the white board, he will be the pick.

    OMG what did I just say? I don't know.

    Manziel
    Mack
    Clowney
    Bridgewater

    One of the 4 and I will be pleased.

    Someone clearly doesn't care for the JFF flash...

    I actually don't think too many coaches care.

    A lot of plebes and common folk getting caught up in the hype and the flash

    I haven't listened to sports radio for more than two minutes at a time since the 2006 Draft. I don't recall them saying "let's go to the black caller from Aldine, Ricky". Do they do that now?

    By my count, I had 3 "bad" passes in his pro day and only one of them hit the ground. One was on a somewhat deep pass where the WR had to wait on it, one was on a sideline throw where it was inaccurate and was thrown to the wrong shoulder which would have almost certainly resulted in a pick, probably a pick 6, and one where he led his receiver too much across the middle. Other than that, he nailed it.

    Good for Johnny. The couple of deep throws I saw on Disney Sports looked good. He's locked up a top 5 pick probably. I don't think it changes what Houston will do.


    The writing seems to be on the wall that it'll be Clowney.

    Seriously, don't bother talking to that guy, he's just a troll. It's just what he does, he's just messing with you.

    Yea but he nose dived on his individual workouts. Todd McShay said Chip Kelly was high on him until they had the individual workouts. That could he why he dropped to the 2nd...
