The Internets: Site says Booty got 14 on Wonderlic
Posted on April 29th, 2008 – 11:33 AMBy Michael Rand
*Take this with a grain of salt and please don’t harm the messenger(s), but Macmirabile.com, a site that has been compiling Wonderlic scores for NFL quarterbacks for many years, reports that John David Booty — the 5th rounder out of USC chosen by the Vikings — scored a not-so-good 14 on the test, tying for the lowest among class of 2008 QBs. That’s out of 50 questions. For the record, we don’t enjoy writing Booty and Wonderlic in the same sentence.
*Tip passed along by our friend Jim Walsh and then found on the San Diego Union-Tribune site: “Coachella Fest organizers are offering a $10,000 reward and four Coachella tickets for life for the return of an inflatable pig that broke loose while flying over Roger Waters’ closing performance this weekend.” We can almost guarantee that such a combination of words had never previously been put together.
*Chat with Bill Simmons. Expect much talk of the Celtics.
*What’s up with that bobblehead?

Show-off.
There have been reports that Vince actually scored a 16, or at least did on a second try.
Even T-Jack got a 19.
I much as I hope this means the Vikings drafted a complete waste in the 5th round, didn’t Marino score horribly on this test?
Well, Terry Bradshaw posted a 15, allegedly. Maybe it’s a better indicator of broadcasting annoyance than anything else.
RE: Roger Waters. I hear when the pig broke loose it did so in perfect sync with the Wizard of Oz. True story.
What did Rex Grossman score?
A 14?
Wow! That’s twice as high as I scored. I got a 9.
Dave
29 which means he is way better than Booty and Jackson.
Ha and Orton scored a 26. The Vikings are in big trouble this year.
Rand
How much did the 7 mile cab ride cost you?
Michael Vick even got a 20

Were you running this to find the cure for rabies? Did you do the whole thing with out drinking water?
Two words: Fettuccine Alfredo
Did your nipples chafe? Hopefully you didn’t bleed all over your Randball T-shirt…
I heard Nancy Barnes scored a 3.
I’m kind of surprised that we haven’t touched on Reusse’s latest effort here. Because a kid who’s had “academic troubles” has committed to Minnesota’s basketball team, all of a sudden, Tubby doesn’t care about academics and has probably helped everyone cheat over the past year…
Dave
Well done your last two posts have Reusse and Fettuccine Alfredo as the topics. Those two may have spent a night or two together.
My guess is that Roger Waters’ inflatable pig will drift lazily over the ballpark right about the time that Joe Mauer decides to be aggressive at the plate in the late innings with his team in desperate need of a hit.
