Southern discrimination for the win.

]]> <![CDATA[A USC Football Player Got A Low Test Score? What?]]> @econdave: First of all, if a player really needed something like that, chances are their memory isn't that good either. Secondly, I'm pretty sure that although each player only faces 50 questions, there are several hundred (or thousand) from which those 50 are randomly selected for each individual test.

You'd also need a dictionary. And by that time, the bomb would have exploded and not even John David Booty would care that it's spelled "defuse."

P.S. Huh-huh..."booty."

]]> <![CDATA[A USC Football Player Got A Low Test Score? What?]]> Manningham purposefully got a 6, knowing full well that would be the first of many scorings of 6.

forgive me if that was extremely lame, but i'm just a Giants fan and Penn State alum still suffering the repercussions of Manningham's heartbreaking catch against the Lions in '05. now i gotta root for the guy???

Although, in Mario's defense, Manningham is a long name and that Northern Lights just smoked him lazy.

How did YOU do on the Wonderlic?

Barry Lutz

]]> <![CDATA[A USC Football Player Got A Low Test Score? What?]]> The lowest score belongs to (Michigan's) Mario Manningham, with a 6. He was the only player to score in single digits.

But, Mario was the fastest at the part of the combine where players were given three common household objects and were required to make a water pipe out of them. He actually did it faster than his 40 time.

Yostal
