STAFFORD CHOOSES NOT TO THROW

While monitoring ESPN’s SportsCenter this morning for a possible farewell appearance from Emmitt Smith, one of the talking heads said that Georgia quarterback Matt Stafford won’t throw at the Scouting Combine. (We might have missed this one while trying to revive the hamster that powers our servers.)
It’s a mistake, in our view. Especially since USC quarterback Mark Sanchez will indeed work out.
Stafford’s decision to defer his work to the friendly confines of his practice digs in Georgia will do nothing to quell concerns that Stafford isn’t comfortable on the big stage.
It puts even more pressure on him, in our view, to put together a lights-out workout in Athens.
Sanchez, on the other hand, is rising to the challenge.
Maybe, in the end, that Veruca Salt routine from Pete Carroll will give Sanchez a decade’s worth of motivation.
What is with this guy? He is a pussy.
