Alright, you guys know I like to joke around. Every now and again I drop a zinger on you, like Aaron Rodgers in the bastard son of Jeff Hostetler, or Jim Caviezel and Kurt Warner are twins separated at birth. So nobody get mad at me.
This time I have outdone myself. This is the masterpiece. Sam Bradford is the reincarnation of Jim Thorpe. Consider the stunning photographic evidence. Consider the fact that they are both products of Oklahoma. Consider that Jim Thorpe and Sam Bradford are both of Native American and European American descent. Jim was a member of the Sac and Fox tribe. Sam is on the Rollcall of the Cherokee Nation. Thorpe was a multisport star, running in the Olympics, playing football and baseball. Sam is a multisport star, playing football, basketball and Golf.
Obviously, Sam-Jim's soul has a special affinity for this part of the world and for sports. This discovery should strengthen Sam's draft prospects in April.
In other Bradford draft news, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Rams' General Manager Billy Devaney and Offensive Coordinator Pat Shurmer flew to Florida [yep Florida] to meet with Sam Bradford. Evidently, he has been training and rehabbing in Pensecola since his surgery. In this meeting, the three talked football, not reincarnation. They also met with famed orthopedic surgeon Dr. James R. Andrews regarding Sam's surgery.
So, in summary, Devaney can fly to Pensecola to meet with Sam Bradford, but he cannot attend the University of Florida ProDay. Now what does that tell you about his mindset for this draft?
