Nicest comparison: A more cerebral Matt Leinart.
Meanest comparison: An autistic Jim Harbaugh.

Strengths: Three-year starter at FSU, Does not have red hair.

School: Georgia

Height: 6 feet, 3 5/8 inches
Weight: 211 lbs

Nicest comparison: Chad Ochocinco, Randy Moss.

Down the road: Saves ozone layer, provided it’s either sunny or windy outside.

Better Know A Draft Pick: Prince Amukamara

03.30.11 Written by Unsilent Majority

Name: Prince Amukamara
Position: Cornerback and heir to the throne of Zamunda.

College: Nebraska
Major: Political science, although Wikipedia lists it as sociology. I’m pretty sure Wikipedia assumes all college athletes major in sociology.

Age: 22

Height: 6’1″
Weight: 205

Who wants him: Lisa’s sister Patrice.
Who will take him: Dallas.

Entourage: Semmi, Oha, and the chick from Spin City who washes the royal penis. [NSFW]

New Experiences: Recently tied his own shoes for the first time. His father was right, it was an overrated experience.

Mainstream Comparison: Nnamdi Asomugha, and not because their parents were born in the same country. That’s just silly.
KSK Comparison: Antoine Winfield, because he excels in run support and knows how to without simply throwing his body at the ball carrier’s knees.

Immediate impact: Locks down one side of the field for whichever team drafts him.
Down the road: Gets the girl and helps a couple of down on their luck commodity traders get back in the game.

Other eating habits:

One of the features of UW home games, called “Ask the Badgers,” plays on the video replay board and has players giving responses to a question posed by a fan. Last week, they were asked what they would do if they found money lying on the ground.

The best response is saved for last and this time — no surprise — it was Moffitt, who said he would probably eat it, like everything he finds on the ground. The Camp Randall Stadium crowd roared.

Oh man, he’s a Hog! Draft this man, Mr. Snyder.

Better Know a Draft Pick: Myron Rolle

My super-human intelligence allows me to surf for porn much faster than mere mortals.


Name:
Myron Rolle
School: Florida State, 2009. Took a year off to study a broad abroad.

Accolades: Third team All-American in his final season.
Off-field achievements: Studied at Oxford after being named a Rhodes Scholar. This is a very prestigious distinction because these scholarships were founded by a racist, closet-case imperialist who started the blood diamond trade.

Strength: Created the Myron L. Rolle Foundation, which is “dedicated to the support of health, wellness, educational and other charitable initiatives throughout the world that benefit children and families in need.” In other words, it attempts to undo the damages caused by people like Cecil Rhodes.

Weakness: Brian Billick wonders if Rolle’s intellect might cause him to “think too much on the field.” That’s how the NFL likes them: dumb and obedient. Read the rest of this entry »
