RON PRINCE'S IMPRESSIVE NFL SOURCES

by Orson on Aug 21, 2008 2:13 PM EDT

Ron Price says Kansas State qb Josh Freeman could be the number one draft pick in the NFL in 2009. Ron Prince says this is based on actual sources.

Kansas State football coach Ron Prince has said that should Josh Freeman lead the Wildcats to a banner-winning season, the junior quarterback could go No. 1 in the 2009 National Football League Draft.

Prince says, "That's what NFL people tell me."

By NFL people, he obviously means his good friend Sourdough out in San Francisco.

I'm seeing first round here, Ron. No, my mouth doesn't move when I talk.

But you know, Sourdough likes 'em kind of big like Freeman. He's just bearish that way.

Freeman is 9-11 as a starting quarterback, allegedly came into camp last year weighing 594 pounds, and is probably best remembered for helping Quentin Groves make money. But he's got the physical stats! Lemme get out mah checkbook OOOOWEEEEE!!! The people who run the NFL are brilliant. The people who pick the players are spotty, and use arbitrary and silly criteria in determining who gets drafted. This is further proof of the latter statement, and the continuing cashkkake that is the NFL is proof of the former one.

Jason Whitlock said Ball State was going to the BCS. Maybe there’s something in the water out there in Kansas that makes ridiculous people say ridiculous things.

Cashkkake would be an excellent name for a strip club.

Is this the same Ron Prince that thinks it’s a good idea to make his assistants run stairs and sign 437 Jucos in a single year? Man, he must be an incredible coach.

Laugh now, but Arthur Blank will almost certainly draft Freeman after the Falcons upcoming 3-13 campaign. Because Matt Ryan is either going to be dead or dancing the rumba with a room full of concussion fairies by week 10.

And by “concussion fairies”, of course, I mean members of the University of Virginia football team.

By “NFL sources”, Prince means the third video assistant that gets the short straw and has to shuffle off to Manhattan in the scouting department’s urge to know about every skill player in the country.

I can’t wait till Lil’ Red goes back in time to visit Sourdough during the Californey Gold Rush!

Not to be too serious,but considering the relative weakness of the QB class, the infatuation with the QB, and recent history (Alex Smith), JaMarcus 2.0 could definitely weasel his way into a top 10 pick this year. Of course, it’ll probably work out about as well as Big Ten team in the NC, but hey, who’s splittin hairs!

Sourdough is one of those butch, lumberjack gays. You just know he’d take Lil’ Red out back behind the corn silo.

The very notion of Sourdough taking Lil’ Red out back behind a corn silo and, well, cornholing him is terrorizing to even contemplate. More so is the notion that someone somewhere is whipping it to that idea right this minute.

“Freeman is 9-11 as a starting quarterback”

NEVER FORGET!

- Steely McBeam will kill Sourdough for cheating on him so close to the wedding. They’re not going to get the deposit on the hall for the reception back.

Prince also promised Freeman he could start as a freshman, and that he would be his No. 1, no-questions-asked-or-bones-about-it star and leader of the team to get him to de-commit from Nebraska. This talk of him being a No. 1 draft pick must be more of Prince’s “blow smoke up his ass to deceive and motivate him” school of coaching.

Ron Prince may or may not be insanely jealous of the heaps of attention bestowed upon Michael Beasley this year, but he is certainly above speaking to mascots.

Here is the titular confirmation of Prince’s statement…which is pretty old news and is rather mild compared to his normal crossing the Rubicon stuff. This is from the blog of the K-State beat reporter for the Wichita Eagle and the KC Star:
