Wonderlic Score ... 'a new record score' ... A FOUR ... A what !?... A Four !! ... What !!?

[pbmax]

These kids need to be booted from schools if they cant pass a wonderlic test!

Seriously though there needs to be a Major that is Proffesional Athlete rather than pretending these kids are students.

I agree. But alumni want to be the free farm system for football and basketball. So to keep the endowment dollars flowing, they will keep finding ways to keep them in school. Whether or not they belong there.

How is Bus Cook still in business after the Favre fiasco?

Not sure what you mean. Most would say he got Favre what Favre wanted. A job as QB of the Vikings without going through offseason work.

[hoosier]

Actually the joke is on the American taxpayer, who's spent tens of thousands of dollars to "educate" this kid. He made it through public school, and scored a 4 on a test that asks such challenging questions as: What is the third month of the year? and then gives you multiple choice answers. Congratulations America.

You can lead a horse to water....

Edit: Never mind, didn't read far enough to discover the underlying explanation.

A four? Does that mean he could open his own Packers Forum? Hey-oooooo!

here is a sample of the wonderlic test.

ohh boy I'd love to see you wiggle out of this one mister.LOL

I'll start and allow you a convent escape hatch.Bus Cook was hired by Brett Favre to secure him decent NFL Contracts NOT act as 'gurdian over his private life'. Maybe you have a different relationship with your agent?

What fiasco are you referring to sheepshead? Maybe you'd like to take that question out to the barn and marinate it.

I'm trying to make you laugh Bud.

ohh Boy.... you cannot help yourself.

And you would think his agent would know the kid likely has only taken tests like these with accommodations, so he was destined to fail a one size fits all test.

To anyone who was modestly prepared, it should have been no surprise.

I've been thinking about this news and what a damaging effect 'it may have' on Morris Claiborne. Here's a young man who's by all accounts a gifted athlete and touted as the first defensive back off the board. Here's a young man deserving of better from the media. Certainly deserving of better from any man that would judge his competence given his 'learning disability' and knowledge of such.

Re: Morris Claiborne's agent Bus Cook.

Mr. Cook, as his agent has to serve his client with all respect and knowledge.

It strikes me that it was incombent for Bus Cook to be aware of Morris Claiborne's cognitive ability and his diagnosed 'learning disability'; serve him in regard to all manners . Bus Cook needed to prepare Morris Claiborne for the Wonderlik test in terms of possible negative feedback. Might he have gotten a sample test to serve his client? Maybe, maybe NOT?

What surprizes me as an NFL fan is that Bus Cook expresed shock at Morris Claiborne's reported results in the Wonderlik test. That reaction wasn't very astute on Bus Cook's behalf.

[smuggler]

If you Christmas-tree'd the thing you'd most likely get a 10. I think his agent told him to bomb it. There was a study that showed cognitive ability was inversely related to success at CB in the NFL. Dumb is good for CBs, but there are exceptions to every rule.

anytime I have hired a lawyer he told me what to say and when to say it. How Bus Cook ever sat on the sidelines and let Favre screw that whole mess up is beyond me. Cook should have known TTs position full well and kept Favre from shooting his mouth off. I wouldnt hire the guy to get me out of a parking ticket. Private Life? huh?

[sheepshead]

Their mishandling of the Packers situation. TT bent over backwards. Cook should have kept Favre from breaking his word. I dont want to start a Favre thread, Im just surprised the guy is still in the business after that circus. I think the guy sucks at what he does.

[sheepshead]

and wood, this is an OPINION. Something you might consider typing once in a while.

Cool sheepshead and I DO NOT WANT TO OPEN A CAN of WORMS on this matter.

From my view of that Favre matter and the Packers (TT and MM). It seems clear to me that not even Brett Favre knew where he stood with the Green Bay Packers. How could Bus Cook have better information?

Re: What I believe and have believed for some time.....Please, go to Favre's Website and read the Article by a Wisconsin writer. This writer clearly supports the assertion I've always made based entirely in my analysis. Favre was set up. they used him against himself to make a change at starting QB and that decision by (TT and MM) was fine by me but they should have been totaly upfront on that decision with Brett Favre. I am talking the STARTING QB position with 'the Packers'. Not as any possible backup at QB.

On the subject of Lawyers. In Canada these people have bad Rep's. and 'in fact' last time I read are ranked at the bottom of all professions RE: integrity and Honesty or as a respected profession. I mean 'no insult' to any members here that are lawyers. I'm sure you do your best. (-:

sheepshead..should you TRUST your lawyer rather than just use your good sense?

and toss out my HARD analysis !? IMO that lends little strength to my views.
