ESPN ran a story headlined…
Most people probably looked at this headline and wondered whether 9-Inch Hands were Good or Bad.
ESPN tried to make it sound Worst than Bad until the Sporting World started laughing at them and then they tried to back away from their “shocking” scoop but it was too late.
Was it Forrest Gump who first said, “Silly is as Silly is”?
Here is the kind of Silliness that made ESPN look Silly…
ESPN’s Adam Schefter could hardly contain himself when he said on the air, “The combine’s all about picking apart players and finding flaws. We have found a flaw in Joe Burrow before the combine really gets under way”.
To back up their big story ESPN threw out some “Damning Numbers”…
I guess the Devil (Combine) Made Them Do It.
Unless the Cincinnati Bengals prove to be Stupider than ESPN is Silly they are going to pick Joe Burrow as the Number 1 Pick in the NFL Draft. If Cincinnati can have a season that is half as big a turn around as the above ESPN headline, they will have had their best season in a long time.
Fella is not very far out on a limb by making the above statement because the Cincinnati Bengals have not won a playoff game since 1990 which is 6 years before Joe Burrow was born.
Cincinnati will take a chance on Joe Tiny Hands Burreaux and pick him #1. Besides Tigers don’t have hands anyway. They got Paws!
Would I kid u?

Lagniappe: If I were to list all the records Joe Burrow had set in his 2 years at LSU I would surpass the Elastic Limit of my Blog. Come to think of it there is no way Joe Burrow using his 9” Tiny Hands could possibly have set all those records, therefore, the records he did set are hereby declared Null and Void and he officially did not do what he did do.
JOE BURROW MEASURED WITH 9-INCH HANDS AT THE NFL COMBINE

To back up their big story ESPN threw out some “Damning Numbers”…
- Burrow’s hands were now officially a half-inch shorter than
last year’s Number 1 Quarterback Draft Pick, Kyler Murray (9.5-inch hands).
>>>The not silly people said, “Doesn’t anyone at ESPN have a ruler handy? A half inch ain’t that much”. - ESPN came back with a Yea But and offered up that Burrow’s
hands were even shorter than the Number 1 Quarterback Draft Pick from 2 years
ago revealing that Baker Mayfield’s hands were 9.25-inches big.
>>>The Not Silly people pointed out that 9.25-inches was even less than 9.5-inches and 9.5-inches was already established in the above bullet as being a Silly Little Bit Bigger than Burrow’s 9-inch hands. - Before ESPN could muster up another Yea But they were hit in their collective Silly Faces by the fact that this year’s Super Bowl Most Valuable Player Quarterback, Patrick Mahomes has 9.25-inch hands.
At this point ESPN saw the Silly in their Foolish Position
and cranked up their word processors to publish this turnaround headline…
WHY THE NFL COMBINE BUILT A MYTH AROUND QB HAND SIZE. IT IS A
MEASUREMENT THAT DOESN’T MEAN ANYTHING.
I guess the Devil (Combine) Made Them Do It.
