For those of you who watched Best Damn on regular basis this past football season, you know the Texas- USC battle was a major topic for our show.  Our QB Rodney Peete even had a bet with the Longhorns' Vince Young on the Rose Bowl game.  In-Vince-ible led Texas to the comeback victory which left Rodney wearing VY's burnt orange #10 jersey when the Heisman runner-up visited the show.  VInce was a great guest and we had a lot of fun with him.  So needless to say, this soon to be 1st round draft pick is always on our radar.  So the recent Wonderlic controversy inspired our producer, Charlie, to whip up his latest diatribe.....

Listen, I have NO problem whatsoever with Vince Young scoring a reported "6" on the Wonderlic test in his first attempt. I personally took the SAT three times, and my best score was on my 3rd and final attempt. You think colleges got any whiff of my 1st two scores? No way, Joe (Jose for those of you who just hit your "SAP" button). I have a problem with the Wonderlic itself.

The Wonderlic is the NFL's version of the SAT. It's a written test given to draft prospects which grades intelligence and speed of thought. Vince Young, however fast ON the field, seems to be a little slow OFF of it. But according to whom? Some stodgy, old guy who came up with this travesty, this sham, this mockery, this traveshamockery of a test? Here is a sample question:

I'm sure that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this question. I bet Vince did, too. First of all, name ONE place in America that you could buy a pad of paper for 21 cents. Second, what state are these cheap pads being sold in? If it's Delaware, no sales tax. If it's California, tack on 7.25% buddy. That would make the pads cost 23 cents each, which would make the answer 92 cents.

Finally, I can see Vince now, gripping his pencil, sweat dripping down his face, saying to himself, "What the F does this have to do with me throwing passes in the NFL? Last time I checked, Question #4 doesn't bench press 400 pounds, run a 4.6 forty and want to knock me out of the game."

We're not asking Vince to be a molecular scientist. We're asking him to score touchdowns. He'll be fine. He once milked a cow on our show. Here's a clip. 

Peace, and I'm out.

Thanks Charlie..  Be sure to check out the Best Damn Fight Night Period tonight with the very entertaining Sam Soliman highlighting the card.  Soliman just had a great fight with Winky Wright in December where he threw over 1,200 punches in a 12-round fight.   The guy has a motor that just won't stop.  Have a great weekend and we'll see you next week.
