Where’s Andre?
02.23.09
Alabama tackle Andre Smith showed up at the NFL combine out of shape. I’m talking back-of-the-neck-looks-like-a-package-of-Hebrew-National-hot-dogs out of shape. To make matters worse, when he realized how woefully unprepared he was, Smith decided he was gonzo. But before he left he made sure to notify… well, no one.
Smith later issued a statement saying he left to add a couple more chins at Hometown Buffet go work out with a personal trainer in preparation for Pro Day in Tuscaloosa. CNBC’s Darren Rovell estimates Smith’s tomfoolery may cost the big man as much as $23 million.
Damn Dre, you could have bought all kinds of chicken-fried bacon with that kind of cash.

He’s training to be the Crimson Tide Elephant.
You say he’s an idiot BUT, if you were gonna be drafted by the Lions (where all players worth a damn go to die) wouldn’t you run like hell to the nearest buffet?!? Idiot, the man’s a genius! Now he’ll drop to a team with a snowball’s chance of winning! Genius!
He’s got Mike Williams’ body, but does he have Mike Williams’ game?
/this from the man whose team drafted Trezelle fucking Jenkins
//shows self to the door
Smith would still be a better first round pick at tackle than Mike Williams was for the Bills back in 2004.

Duuuuuuuude, where can I get some chicken fried bacon like now brooooooooo? That shit loooooks killerrrrrr.
The NFL Combine – A Rant

If Lawrence Philips has taught us anything, some loser GM with a fire-me-now prophecy is willing to pay some fat lardass to fail at left tackle and switch out to right guard. Hell, Robert Gallery invented this scenario.
I can’t blame him for getting the hell out of Indy as soon as possible.
Also, love the KFC written in the end zone. That’s a nice touch.
From what Mayock said, he actually showed up 15 pounds LIGHTER then he was at the senior bowl. This guy has mentally retarded written all over him. Welcome to Oakland, Andre!
You expect a Southern boy to skip on the chicken-fried chicken, the sausage-gravy and biscuits or the bacon-covered everything?
What are you, some sort of health nut?
Soon to be the world’s biggest UPS guy. What a fucking idiot.
Andre the Giant is a Pussy
Jesus…they even strip it out of the comment code…I think you need to bring this up at the next UPROXX retreat in Cleveland.
Drop to the Steelers, please
Damn Dre, you could have bought all kinds of chicken-fried bacon with that kind of cash.

Warming Glow, neatorama and 289′s pic have got this Monday off to an exceptionally gay start.

I wish someone’d pay be $23 million to NOT overeat. Then I’d be… Ah, shit, I’d still be a great big fat ass!
He doesn’t look out of shape to me.

“Smith’s tomfoolery may cost the big man as much as $23 million.”
Does anyone think his actions will allow him to be passed up by the Bengals? This man has future criminal written all over him.
He has the makings of a first round pick by either the Lions or Raiders.
Chicken-fried bacon? What will they think of next!
