This is quite vividly illustrated when they are stripped down to their underwear and asked to move around.

Throwing Into Traffic points out that Darren McFadden looks like human perfection, smooth, agile, awesome, whereas the big corn thick trunked white guys look like, well ... they look like dorks.

They've got an outstanding selection of silly white people photos that have been making us giggle all day. It's true! We're so lame!

Allow us to take this opportunity to remind of the great Stuff White People Like.

<![CDATA[The NFL Network's Weekend Of Scantily Clad Men]]> We've said this before, but it bears repeating: The NFL Combine has always creeped us out. Call us old-fashioned, but we just can't muster the appropriate interest in recruiting and draft prospect stories. We like to see a guy show up on our team and then see how he fits in. We know: We're a geezer.

This is not to mention, of course, the ongoing gay subtext that goes along with every combine, the spectacle of a bunch of tubby middle-aged men watching 21-year-olds prance around in their underwear. And the gays have noticed. From OutSports:

The [NFL Network], owned by the league, has wall-to-wall coverage of the annual flesh fest known as the NFL Combine, a place where players who hope to be selected in the April draft show what they've got for the assembled coaches, scouts and personnel men. And I mean show all almost all they got. The lift weights, run sprints and strip down to their underwear to be weighed and have their body fat percentage measured.

We would like to remind everyone that the NFL Draft Combine is yet another vivid reminder that the NFL does not measure success by heart, or guts, or grit. They measure it, simply, by meat.
