The Scouting Combine

Yes, it is that time again, the time all football fanatics enjoy- the Scouting Combine.  I am actually watching the offensive linemen run the 40 yard dash- and it is a little bit offensive.  All I know, is after investing my time in this, the Jets better not screw up the pick again ala Kyle Brady over Warren Sapp.  Or another Johnny Mitchell episode.  I better stop thinking about this.  
Back to the combine.  The positional drills are also quite boring- way back when, during my high school days, those things were terribly boring, and I was playing.  To watch them on TV- man, I really wish it was warmer so I could go out and play golf with Sarah.  However, I think what they should do to make the scouting combine better is invite a group of normal guys- the kind who play flag football on Sundays- and just allow the college kids to eviscerate them.  This way, we could see just how big these offensive lineman really are.  The inclusion of the flag football people would not only boost ratings, but put guys who take flag football way to seriously in their place.  You could also spin this off into a Jersey Shore style reality show, and eventually the stars would wind up in the NBA aheem Celebrity All-Star game and could promote the NFL.  David Stern's head would explode, and Roger Goodell could then take over the NBA and start suspending guys with too many tattoos for violating the league conduct policy, and make LeBron James cry.  Really this needs to happen because it would become a win-win for all involved, except David Stern but nobody really likes him anyway.  All of these thoughts because I decided to watch the scouting combine on Saturday morning.  What will spill out of my head after watching the kickers?
