Greg McElroy failed the first unwritten rule of sales, marketing and self promotion. Don’t get caught selling. Number two rule is be sure of your product. Surprising since Greg McElroy, Sr is Senior VP of SALES & MARKETING for the Dallas Cowboys, who apparently is as much in involved, if not more, as any other FATHER whose son is vying to be drafted into the NFL this year. The most under reported aspect to this story is that it was McElroy Sr who originally bragged to the Birmingham News and other outlets after the combine about his boys stupendous, but apparently inaccurate, Wonderlic exploits.

43 is amazing considering the whole state of Alabama couldn’t get a cumulitive number that high!

McLovin is due some retribution…
__________________________
HAHAHAHA…didn’t he get a 43 also meaning they are tied? Still he guaranteed no lower than 45, right? I watch the D.P. show only off and on so not sure.
(Can’t “unsee” McLovin in that jersey and nothing else though).

So glad all I did was listen to the podcast! Nothing to unsee!

But, most importantly, is he aware the regular season games can end in a tie?

@cbusbrownie:

No one thinks the “mom’s basement” joke is funny anymore.

Actually, the thought of you snickering quietly to yourself as you typed it, patting yourself on the back for coming up with something so witty and original, despite the fact that it has been used on this site 999,999 times, is kind of funny.

Unfortunately, there is no prize for being the 1,000,000 poster to use this f***** out joke.

@henryjones20 …

With all due respect to Marino and Kelly … they’re not wearing Super Bowl rings. And McElroy isn’t an Ivy Leaguer.

ROLL TIDE!!!

Rosenthal’s Wonderlic is probably a 14 or 15. But still better than Michael Vick.

I wouldn’t mind the Eagles trading Kolb for a 1st + 3rd, and picking up McElroy in the 3rd.

cbusbrownie,
Nice to see you defending someone who has no problem smearing people with respect and success in the actual NFL world (i.e., not the quasi-journalistic sports blogosphere).

I’ve said it before. He’s good at taking tests, but can he play in the NFL? 48 is impressive. What is his 40 time? Is he a slow as Mallett?

“As we pointed out last week, some coaches could regard that as a good thing.”

It makes me question the coaches in the NFL that prefer a “dumber” player to a brilliant one. Perhaps they are afraid they might actually learn something from a player or bounce ideas of each other?? What a terrible situation that would be. Just look at how awful working with Peyton Manning is.

benh999, I’m willing to bet you also bitch about a sunny day. You wish you had 1/2 the respect and success in the NFL world the Mike and his site has generated. Just leave the heavy reading for the common sense users on this site. Go back to your room in your mom’s basement and think of something to bitch about.

all u wonderlic lovers,i hope carolina drafts him #1 haha or maybe they should draft all ivy league players since u all think book smarts rules over football smarts! google dan marino or jim kellys wonderlic scores. not very impressive,but…..

43?!? That is HORRIBLE! This will drop him at least three rounds in the draft!

Greg has been chatting up his “48″ the past week. Bet he sure feels dumb now.

The NFL needs to investigate!!! One draftee wants to be an “icon.” Another wants to be a “genious.” Ryan Mallett just wants to be stoned!

In a related story, JimmySmith’s score has been confirmed as a 4.

The administrators as Wonderlic subtracted 7 from 50, “…….at least half a dozen times. We kept coming up with 48, until the boss’s 9 year old daughter happened to notice the error while strolling throught the office….”.

Any thoughts on Cam’s score?

By: cameran0804

cameran0804 — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 20:40:36 +0000

so let me get this right, you get grilled in the media if you get a bad score and this kid is taking heat for getting a great score! PFT can’t you guys come up with something better to talk about!!
