SWINDLE INDUSTRIES UPDATE
In the ever-expanding and poorly swept warehouse that is Swindle Industries…
Patrick is doing the quality work we couldn’t do over at Thirty Five Seconds. We’re especially fond of this.
Our piece on things the NFL combine should test for is up over at the Sporting News, and if you take nothing else from it, it should be this: Deangelo Hall’s episode of Cribs is the gold standard by which all other NFLers’ Cribs experience should be measured. That is, until D-Mac gets the signing bonus and two months with a decorator.
Like that, but a house.

Do you think D-Mac got a Double-Bean Burrito after taking this pick?

The thrust from the gas would explain his unusual blend of size and explosive speed.

D-Mac on cribs would be epic. Especially with all the kids.

Well, the best part of D-Mac’s cribs would be his walk-in closet, which is divided into three parts – the typical, the dresses, and the Fred Flintstone outfits.

Pssshhhh… I still think Mudcat’s car would rape that thing.

Orson, a technical question . . .
Why is it that every time I link to your SN blog, it loads like I’m using a 2400 bps dial-up modem? Is that a result of the FBI trace?

Wow, a lot of unusually positive comments on the SN article. Apparently Shreveporters only read you during bowl season.

Dawg 05, Mud Cat’s would have dominated D Macs, but Ellerbe wrecked it on River Road a couple years back. Odell had a pretty sick ride as well, his drove extra nice while under the influence.

For what it is worth, a friend of mine, who knows nothing about football, had the chance to meet D. Hall through the normal course of business and found him to be quite nice. I will give him props for the Rembrandt, but, man, he did have to go and put it in that ubiquitous “Atlanta new money” home, didn’t he? So many beautiful old homes in that city, it is a shame.
Every college AA needs its own “Club 21″. Would cut down on the Fulmer Cup points. Well, except for UGA– the players would still have to drive to get there.

Orson,
Those draft criteria would eliminate a lot of SEC players. At UT they would have to let the “tutors” answer the questions or none of them would get drafted (well maybe not None).

What does the NFL combine think about monster truck enthusiasts? I could be mistaken, but I’m pretty sure they value tractor pull enthusiasts more. Less flash, more goal oriented, etc.

I’m just waiting for a player to bust out a house just like Tony Montana’s in Scarface. Tigers, fountains, an insane amount of video cameras, and late model Cadillacs everywhere. Baller

D. Hall is the no-tacklin’est fairy an any NFL D. backfield.
Gotta stay pretty………

SN column was really good, Orson. For some reason the hypothetical player’s hypothetical relative’s explanation of what a mink is hit the funny bone hard.

D Mac still has a long way to go before he catches up with Travis Henry: 9 Kids, 9 women. Represent yo!! Proud UT Vol.

BTW, the jab at talk radio people was quite excellent. Made me think of “Bill Swerski’s Superfans” — “I’ve got a piece of Polish sausage lodged in the lining of my heart.” “How many heart attacks is that for you Bill?” “That’d be a baker’s dozen Tom.” daaaa Bearssss

Brian,
Give him time. He hasn’t even made a full circuit of NFL cities yet. I expect no fewer than 7 in the ovens by the ‘08 season’s end.

Exactly. Given the SEC’s tendency to not travel too far from home and proximity to bowl sites it’s fair to say large swaths of the country have not had the pleasure of humanity advanced. The females of the northeast, midwest and west coast are on notice.

Humanity Advanced physically surely. Not so much in taste.

We love ol Deangelo here in Charlotte, it’s a pleasure to watch Steve Smith get under his skin and get 45 yards of penalties ON ONE DRIVE out of him.
Rembrandt? Probably a velvet leopard painted by Jose Rembrandt.

Yeah, I love watching guys on my team make total asses out of themselves and barely get by on some shaky ref calls too, #23.
Congrats on that.
