Of course, they don’t tell you everything. Many don’t tell you anything and most talk in code, as if you need a windtalker (or possibly John Clayton) to decipher the true meaning. But everybody talks at the NFL Scouting Combine, and it’s the job of scrubs like me to tell [...]
I set the reminder on the DVR, just in case I could possibly forget, made sure my schedule was clear and when 7 p.m. arrived, was nestled snugly in my unraveling old recliner, fully committed to giving the Pro Bowl a chance. No less trusted an authority than Peyton Manning [...]
