Just check the Wonderlic scores for the WR class of 2001.

A little amazing. 6? 5!!!!

The Wonderlic is an IQ test given to prospective draftees at the NFL combine. It's a series of 50 questions, and you get something like 5 minutes. A score of 20 is supposed to denote average intelligence. Drew Bledsoe scored the highest I've ever heard of, 37. A brainiac like Jeff George, on the other hand, scored a whopping 10. Some of the guys on that WR chart scored 6. That's 6 correct answers in 5 freaking minutes.


Like Jay Leno said last night:

"At CalState Northridge, a female cross-country runner was thrown off the team for moonlighting as a stripper. Hell, we should throw half the football players in the country off their teams for moonlighting as students."

That may sound dumb, but if you have a learning disability, it can be a major bitch to do a test like that.

Penn E Pinch, super genius.

I have a hard time knocking these people without seeing the test.

To be somewhat (a little bit) fair, the guy who got a five is Jamaican.

And as for this cultural relativity bullshit...I love people who'll find any reason, ANY REASON AT ALL, to excuse somebody of flagrant stupidity.
