Darren McFadden will be busy in July and August

Clearly one of the most intriguing stories to come out of the cattle call otherwise known as the NFL combine was the dueling banjo forces of Darren McFadden. Guy ran a 4.33 and could be next year’s Purple Jesus. Then again, at the rate he is reportedly going, he is going to make his own disciples. His agents have confirmed that McFadden might be the father to two yet-to-be-born children. One is due in July, one in August, which if memory serves is right around, you know, the start of training camp. He’s also had some other character issues in the past; lest we forget this morning’s diatribe, that has to be considered a factor. So what’s a team with a high first-round draft pick to do? Besides, of course, try to discourage McFadden from a one-pregnancy-per-month pace?

I can just see the draftnicks reports on McFadden.

Darren McFadden: A great mix between Adrian Peterson and Travis Henry. He runs like Purple Jesus and finishes the job like Henry.

Simplest explanation: he asked Emmitt Smith what he had to work on to prepare for the NFL, and Emmitt told him to work on his motility.

Stu I’m sure you deserve a point but “motility” is just too big of a word.

It’s the next AT&T commercial…

Agent on Phone to Darren: “Darren, you’re going to have to convince scouts at the combine that you can reproduce [connection drops] the results that you had in college”

Darren shrugs, hangs up, gets jiggy.

+1 fasolamatt, as long as that stupid “Can you hear me now” guy isn’t involved I think it would be hillarious.

“Amateur.” - Travis Henry

Oh, and Stu and fasolamatt, as they so often do, get +1 apiece.

Put him and Tom Brady on the same team and you have… a population control problem.
