If you’re one of the 250 you’re either a tremendous loser, or you enjoy watching men in tights. Why the heck would anyone want to watch this? It’s a snoozefest!

That’s why I watch…. .

People who say the Fans that will be attending the combine will be bored …( I was Picked BTW ) must not realize the popularity of anyhting NFL related.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/02/19/nfl-networks-combine-ratings-show-leagues-immense-popularity/

5.2 million viewers of the NFL combine. WHich is only on the NFL network..That number would be alot higher if it was on ESPN…

I cant wait for this oppertunity…

The scouting combine is a great event. I could see some added drills but there’s nothing wrong with the event.

Submit an “application”? Are you kidding me? What are we doing here, applying for membership in some exclusive, pompous snob club? What exactly do you say as to why you should be permitted to enter the event?:

* “My dad is the Mayor”? Well OK then!… stamp his hand and let him in!

* “I just love football and I want to see my teams potential draft picks”. Rejected!….go away! Security, keep an eye on him.

How ludicrous.

I think it’s one of the few things this regime has doe that I like, letting fans buy tickets to this and to media day. Sure it makes money. So what? That doesn’t mean it isn’t good for the fans AND the NFL’s coffers.

To me, the scouting combine is a waste of time since they go to the players home fields and do that same thing. Most quarterbacks now do not throw at the combine and wait to do that on their pro-days. It is also a good way for sports writers to fleece their employers for a nice week long vacation at their expense.

Gosh, if they had this in the past they could have seen Vernon Gholston look like a beast. Jason Smith standout and Taylor Mays run a 4.2. Aaron Curry look like the next L.T. All in their tight workout gear.

Underwear Olympics… Im going to use that forever now.

But that is just it, it’s the NFL’s olympics, granted it is for draftees and they are representing themselves at the underwear Olympics, but it’s still the closest thing to the NFL’s olympics.

I like the scouting combine.

The NFL is trying to make the scouting combine part of their regular scheduled big time events. There is much money to be made and Rodger Goodell will find a way to get it. The combine used to be a tiny blimp on the screen, those days are over.

The combine will continue to be a joke until they start having guys do these drills in full pads.
