The NFL Combine is underway in Indianapolis, Indiana. You know, where that Peyton Manning guy used to play. If you don't know what the Combine is, let me tell you. It is an annual meat market where fortunes are won and lost based on tenths of a second in the 40 yard dash, inches in the broad jump and the single drop of the ball in the skills drills. I'm riveted...who's stock will rise and who's will fall.
It'll be interesting to see how Luck's debut season goes (presumably for the Colts, but there are teams out there who need a franchise QB badly enough to offer them something ridiculous for the first pick). He's getting even more hype than Cam Newton was a year ago, and yet as first seasons go you'd have to say that Newton lived up to it. I'm going to try and get this forum alive and kicking for the draft. Five Live Sports Extra, Not606, Google images, Youtube and the 10 minute rule should be enough for me to cobble together some decent coverage of the first night at least. There is a fair bit of underlying interest in American Football on these boards, so if the quality's there, a good number of posters will follow.
You think the people who post on the footie boards are harsh on the PL players? You have to check out some of the official boards attached to the NFL team websites. Savage
