Typical Michigan Bum.

MARIO CHECKS INTO THE MOTEL 6
Posted by Mike Florio on April 25, 2008, 10:23 a.m.
Somehow, we missed this one.

But it’s better never than late. Or something.

A reader pointed out to us today a list of Wonderlic scores showing Michigan receiver Mario Manningham generating a Vince Young-style six on the test.

A six. Out of 50.

We checked with a league source who has access to the numbers and, lo and behold, Manningham indeed got a six.

For the former Michigan receiver, it’s another glob of lard that will grease his slide to the second day of the draft. Other knocks on Manningham include a sssslow time in the 40 and a failure to admit during interviews at the Scouting Combine the fact that he failed at least one marijuana test in college.

Manningham thereafter wrote a letter to all teams apologizing for his prevarication (thanks, Tiki). But maybe Manningham merely should have explained the falsehood by pointing out, “What did you guys expect? I got a six on the Wonderlic.”

Wonderlic, Inc. claims a score of at least 10 points suggests a person is literate.

Someone can score a 9 and not know WTF they're reading? So, I could probably get a 6 if the test was in Russian.

I have taken it a couple of times when I was interviewing for the airlines...

I scored around the 32 mark on one and 33 on another...

Not to bad from an idiot poster who cant spell or speel check.

You know. Set them down on the couch and tell them about the test.

He's not a QB so I'm not worried about it, they're a bunch of non football related questions so to me that isn't a huge deal.

markk · 04-25-2008, 03:03 PM

he's going to be as good as mike williams i bet. only a lot cheaper

bowener · 04-25-2008, 03:23 PM

i think a chimp shitting on this paper and then wiping its shit off the paper with a pencil could do better than a ****in 6. marios mind must be like a steal trap, only the steal trap is one you left out in the rain and it rusted shut.

No, if you read the whole article, you'll see that the second score is based on a retake. Defensive linemen can be stupid, and that's fine with me. All I care about there is channeled aggression. On the offensive line, I want smarts, smarts, and more smarts. Clady scores a great big ZERO with me right now, but Williams and Cherilus look damn good.

Does the Wonderlic have a spelling section?

I read a message from an athlete who had taken it recently after VY got his score that came out. It suggested a lot of players who are nervous choose to random the exam out. Then they can go to their boys and say they didn't even try. Doesn't it give 5 points for getting your name right? Pretty hard to believe guys get a 6 then. Alex "Smif" put up an incredible score for a qb and he's looked like a complete bust so far.
