Sports: A Game Of Inches

We are four humble men who love sports, but hate sports commentary. Peter Gammons is our hero and John Madden is our enemy. If you were to ask us our purpose, our answer would be simple: "We are forever locked in Mortal Kombat for the souls of sports fans everywhere. Statistics are our science and 'the immeasurable character of men' is the obsolete religion of blind faith. Our job is to prove that God doesn't exist and that athletes are merely cold, metal machines with no hearts or souls."

Illinois For The Three-Peat!

Two years ago Illinois RB Rashard Mendenhall was drafted in the first round. last year Illinois CB Vontae Davis was drafted in the first round. And now, before any football has been played, Mel Kiper has a list of the top 10 guys for the 2010 draft. And #10 on that list- Illinois WR Arrelious Benn. He did get over 1,000 yards last year but he only has 5 receiving TDs in two full seasons which worries me. After watching him play for two years, I frankly don't see it. But hey, Vontae was drafted in the first round so why not fuck up another late round draft pick on an Illinois player again!

The 'Bright' One said...: You dont like Benn? Are you crazy? If he didnt have the worst QB in the nation throwing to him, he would be a top 5 pick.

Today, someone on ESPN ranked the top WR in college. He had Benn 2nd behind Dez Bryant. Thats pretty good given Juice is throwing to him; August 20, 2009 at 7:55 PM
