This line had me rolling in the isles.... "I went to the bank, pulled out some of my bar mitzvah money, $2,500 in cash"...

Read the follow up on the story on how many of his former clients are dead and they would only be in their late 30's to late 20's. It looks like pro wrestling...

It's long been rumored that the turd from ESPN (helmet head) has been doing Gary Wichard (fellow lonsman?) favors by ranking his players higher than expected. I don't think NFL teams care about Kiper's and McShay's rankings one iota, except when the overrate the juniors and falsely draw them out of school too early. Matter of fact, most get a good chuckle of how stupid both are.
A few years ago, for example, ESPN had Kentucky on for the season opener. Sideline reporter McShaywas asked about Kentucky quarterback/Superhero Andre Woodson. He carried on about how "Woody" had a long streak of not throwing an int. and declared he would eventually be the #1 overall pick. Doug Flutie, a proub liberal who actually played the game, surprisingly fired back with something like this--"are you serious? I've watched him on film a lot and he doesn't even look even close to the #1 overall. Also, not throwing int's can be a negative, Todd,it couldmean a QB is scared (or unable t0)to throw deep and just dinks and dunks all the time. NFL teams don't want that"....Woodson, despite all the hype from ESPN, never went #1 overall. Hewas a 6th rounder (pickedby Giants pro-black GM Jerry Reese)and never playedin a regular seasongame. Last month, at the age of like 23, he was cut by the UFL
Again, guys like Woodson (seniors), NFL teams don't care. What makes them (and college coaches) livid, is when thesefools hype up useless underclassmen as first rounders, then these a$$ clowns leave school thinking they are first rounders, only to find out they are latter round picks or UFA's and wind up on the streets soon after college.
Kiper reportedly really caught the ire of college coaches in the early 2000's when he dubbed a junior RB from Virginia Tech (Stith?) as a future "franchise player". When the superhero left school early anddidn't get drafted until Round 7 (and never played in the NFL), reports surfaced that the ESPN "guru" might've taken money from an agent to draw this no-talent out of school early. I've read VTU's ugly, caste-clown coach has barred Helmet head from attending practicesfor a decade now -- not that it matters, he never leaves his basement anyway.

It's been speculated that Kiper's real love was a Black man named Marcellus now it looks like it could be a green monster and it's not the Incredible Hulk...
