UofA Drafted whiners

Eben Britton:
"I'm extremely (upset) about not being taken in the first round," Britton told the Tucson Citizen. "I'm the most underrated player in this draft. I will lead the Jacksonville Jaguars to the Super Bowl."

Reading the entire article is even more hilarious! Jaguars media people had to shut him up!
this article on the Orlando Sentinel website.

Mike Thomas:
?It's very annoying to know that you're a lot better than where you're picked at,? he said. ?That's just the NFL for you. It puts chips on shoulders, just like Maurice Jones-Drew. He was overlooked and so was I, and look at him. He's getting the last laugh.

Doing a great job down there, Mikey. Way to teach humility. The contrast between these comments and, say, Marcus' or even Alex's comments is pretty startling.

The same Jones-Drew who hasn't been able to beat out a 700 year old back with no remaining cartilage in any major joint as the feature back?

Way to be grateful, assholes. It's not like you're the only people this happened too.

Jones-Drew is the feature back, just got a huge contract, and that 700 year old back is gone. I'd say Jones-Drew is indeed smiling.

Before the call, coach Jack Del Rio had revealed that Britton had scored a perfect 10 on one of the psychological tests the team gives and said he was one of the best interviews the team had. Reporters clearly agreed with the last assessment.

Does he have a blog? I want to subscribe.

Someone said that Jim Rome ripped Britton today - anyone hear or see it?

...Jim Rome ripped Britton today ...

Hmm. I've gained new respect for Britton.

Jones-Drew is the feature back, just got a huge contract, and that 700 year old back is gone. I'd say Jones-Drew is indeed smiling.

And Fred Taylor when healthy is/was a beast. Terrell Davis said he was his favorite running back in the NFL last year.

Cry my a freakin river. These two idiots are living a dream millions of guys would kill for, and they're bitching about WHERE they got drafted? I hope they get their clocks cleaned, and I hope I'm watching the game when it happens.

From the drama queen:

"I was always told I wasn't big enough, fast enough to play," Britton, 6-5, 317, said

From his NFL.com Bio:

At John Burroughs High School, Britton was named Foothill League co-Lineman of the Year in 2004. He added Los Angeles Times All-Region San Fernando Valley honors and received votes in the Long Beach Press-Telegram's Best in the West poll. The Super Prep All-American and Prep Star All-West product received a four-star rating and was listed among the nation's elite offensive tackles by Max Emfinger's recruiting service.

So the 6'5 317lb Super Prep HS All American who received votes as the best player in the Western US feels he has always been told he wasn't good enough.

"I want to lead the Jacksonville Jaguars to the Super Bowl and I want to become the greatest tackle in the history of the NFL," he said.

You won't even be the greatest tackle in the history of your 13 year old team dickhead.

Uhhhh...now he is, after Fred Taylor officially celebrated his 100th birthday. Nothing against Jones-Drew, it's just a strange example to use.

Wait... you mean UofA isn't Akron?? who knew??

700 years = 100 years

Is Taylor being measured in dog-years?

 

[Bucklion]

700 years = 100 years

Is Taylor being measured in dog-years?

Actually, yes...or, perhaps more aptly, measured by how many games he played (1) versus missed (7) on average during his NFL career, x100.
