Now thats what I've been talking about..Quality people doing quality things. NOT like the PACERS.

I've read several places where offensive linemen typically have some of the highest GPAs on the team when they are in college, and at the NFL combine their Wonderlic scores are on par with quarterbacks.

a reason for NFL players being (or acting) so much smarter than our hometown NBA player are the rule that NFL players are required to be 3 years removed from high school compared to the newish NBA rule on one. if you look at the troubled pacers they are still farely young and thats no excuse for their immaturity. but still that just shows the how football players just seem to have more time to think about their futures while having 2 more years mandated in college and they still strive for more!!!!!
