Nobody’s missed the point, you ignoramus. Everybody knows why they asked these stupid questions. That doesn’t change the fact that they shouldn’t be asked in a setting which is in every way a job interview.

This is mediocre Kinja.

“All I wanna know is, did your mother suck up on some toes?”

And yet someone drafted Aaron Hernandez.

I just don’t see the logic here. How does an absurd (and illegal, if you’re talking about the context of a job interview, which the combine effectively is) question in a room with a few assholes in it correspond to having your performance on the field scrutinized by the media or a fanbase?

There’s a perfectly reasonable explanation here. One scout was interested in Guice sexually, and another was willing to pay Guice’s mother for sex. See? No harm, no foul.

Mike Pence asking stupid questions on behalf of the Colts and Mother is a new low for the Colts but a step up from the Trumpster Fire.

I’m thinking that Title IX will be a bigger deal than you’re making it out to be. Plus most of the smaller schools will simply bow out of participation, since it will be harder to justify intercollegiate sports when they are not nominally amateur for universities that use public funding for sports. I think the big…

You can’t just waive away the difference between a W2 and a 1099 “employee.” The IRS has specific rules and they default to someone being an employee. Plus workers comp generally only applies to employees.

You’re missing the most obvious issue: why the fuck should minor-league sports be affiliated with universities at all? You want to pay the athletes, fine. But then why bother having them be part of the school? That’s a lot of words just to try and justify college athletics, when that’s the problem in the first place.

Hey, there’s Eric Crouch! See, my one example proves racism doesn’t exist.

Every few years there comes along a pretty accurate passer and the scouts collectively say, “Hurrrr, he’s too short. Probably can’t even see over the line.” Then they draft Brock Osweiler because you can’t teach that prototypical body type. And then Drew Brees and Russell Wilson kick everybody’s ass, and the…

Eric Crouch went 180/345 for 2611 yards and 18 TDs to 17 INTs as a junior and senior - he was an option QB who couldn’t throw. Jackson has thrown 839 passes the past two seasons, for 7203 yards with 57 TDs to 19 INTs.

If anything, this year’s Super Bowl is evidence of how valuable having a quarterback who can catch the ball is.

We can just run this story every year, right? Just replace the name of the African-American QB and publish?

I think Josh Allen would be a fantastic gritty wide receiver who plays hard every down.

I’m sorry L. Jackson, but please run this wheeeeel

Great read. Hard not to root for the kid.

Even better was the way I read it prior to having my coffee:
