...but I can only imagine that one will be a live horse running on a treadmill in the concourse for the duration of the game.

Oh, man, how did this get on here?

You can take the boy out of fandom and into professionalism, but you can't the fan out of the boy... (Or something to that effect.)

Good luck to your Badgers in the Championship.

Andrew Ford sounds like Russell Wilson in his interviews...I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, Wilson comes off "too polished" like a politician (and I don't mean that as a compliment)

How is it possibly a bad thing for an athlete to actually be able to speak coherently? I guess I'd need an example of what you consider "too polished" to understand where you are coming from.

too polished = fake and rehearsed

Agreed, he sounds like he's reading a script.

I'd agree with you, but hearing him speak makes me realize he only sounds overly polished because Bitter edited out all the "y'know"s in his article.

And there's a joke in there somewhere about his interview demeanor being as polished as his throwing motion.

Great attitude, but needs more arm strength. Is that something a QB can develop while in college?

I've never gotten to stick it in once during a football game in my 4 years as a student. It's been very frustrating, maybe this is the year? #twenty4youtostickitin

Or he'll be the last to die in any slasher movie.
