Where’s Andre?
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.

Chicken-fried bacon? What will they think of next!

He has the makings of a first round pick by either the Lions or Raiders.

“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 doesn’t look out of shape to me.

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!

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.

Soon to be the world’s biggest UPS guy. What a fucking idiot.

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?

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!

Also, love the KFC written in the end zone. That’s a nice touch.
February 23rd, 2009 at 1:28 pm
I can’t blame him for getting the hell out of Indy as soon as possible.

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.

Smith would still be a better first round pick at tackle than Mike Williams was for the Bills back in 2004.
/bitter Bills fan
February 23rd, 2009 at 2:00 pm
He’s got Mike Williams’ body, but does he have Mike Williams’ game?
/this from the man whose team drafted Trezelle fucking Jenkins

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 training to be the Crimson Tide Elephant.
