2010 NFL Combine

Mrs. Playthrough and I will be at St. Elmo Saturday. Was a little surprised to get a reservation when I called last night.

I would try to stalk out someone from my Bengals, but I don't think Mike Brown picks up St. Elmo tabs. Maybe they'll be at the South Street White Castle.
 
I never understood what the big deal was with the shrimp cocktail there. It's good, but people act like it's the greatest thing you've ever eaten.

Several years ago I was out with about 10 other writers at St. Elmo's and the OC of a team with one of the top picks in the draft comes over and he was completely loaded.

"So you guys looking at Player X or do you think you'll have trade up to get him?"

"I can tell you with complete certainty that we have no interest in the guy."

"Why, is he injured? Did he get in trouble?"

"No, the guy is gay and our owner won't let us draft him."

The player is now one of the best players in the NFL.

The same coach then sat there for two hours and just talked **** for about two hours stuff that if he was reminded of the next day probably would have wanted to go hide. We just kept feeding him drinks the whole time. I know at least one writer recorded the ordeal.

The guy became a HC a few years later.

So were you a man in motion, Mizzou?

One year I flew back from the owners meetings and Marvin Lewis was on my flight, in coach. I said, "Bengals won't spring for first class?" and he just made a face.

Not the "greatest" thing I've eaten, but it's an experience. Fun to watch others who have never tried that sauce before.

Agreed -- fun too watch someone bite into a shrimp for the first time and see their eyes tear up as they frantically search for their beer.

Maybe it's because I'm from California and am used to really spicy food, but I didn't think it was THAT hot.

nice website

What's wrong with it?
It's Safe for Work, I was hoping for a NSFW site.

Really? Because I happen to have the same first name as a porn star, along with 50 million other Jenna's? That was sooo back in 10th grade.

Back to football plz...

Well, many a days, this place is pretty much 10th grade....

I'm with you--wasn't meant as a shot at her website. Personally, I don't think it's appropriate for anyone to anonymously crack on someone's website/product if they aren't willing to own up to who they really are.

Just was playing along with her response to heyabbott's post. I apologize if the joke was in poor form or timing.

Take it to PMs and have a nice, "Sexual harassment is so last year" day?

You were cool. Just stating the obvious.
 
Thanks for clarifying guys...as a chic that stuff just gets old ya know? I get on here to chat with people who have the same passion for this as I do. None of the other B/S.

Anyway...one of the athletes I wrote a story on for my pre-Combine athlete profiles, just tied the bench press record at the Combine... :)

With all due respects, Jenna, threads take twists and turns here and generally get back on track without the scolding

I wasn't trying to scold anyone. I was simply stating where my boundaries are and letting him know that he crossed them. That's all :)
