Alabama’s Tubby, Shirtless Wonder, Andre Smith
NFL Draft March 12th. 2009, 9:00am
Do you want this man to be your offensive tackle? Inexplicably, when Alabama’s Andre Smith was asked to step on the scale yesterday, he took his shirt off, revealing a Jabba the Gut and flabby moobs that definitely require a manziere.
Compounding matters were a slow 40-time (5.28) and a weak bench press effort (225 just 19 times), neither of which would have placed him in the top 10 at his position at the combine.
First impressions are horrible, and unfortunately, lasting. We’ve heard stories about guys who were close to making something happen with a chick, only to take off their shirt and flush any hopes of hooking up down the toilet. Guess that’s easier to swallow than taking off your shirt and losing millions of dollars.
An educated guess where Andre Smith will be drafted (Tide Sports)

He kinda had to take the shirt off for the weigh in, but I don’t think anyone at the combine ran the 40 shirtless. One analyst said “he took off his shirt to run the 40 and that…didn’t look very good.” I concur. It was pretty terrifying and should’ve featured one of those “be advised” warnings.

Ty Duffy will not be amused by this post.
/still think Andre will be okay

Does anyone else struggle to get the NFL.com videos to work? Seems like every other video type (youtube, etc.) will work for me, but NFL.com fails everytime.

ditka and golic will get him on nutrisystem for the next month and he’ll look great a week before the draft
March 12th, 2009 at 9:07 AM
Kinda looks like King Hippo in that first one.
March 12th, 2009 at 9:08 AM
yes. because this tub of goo dominated the best the SEC could throw at him, and what, do you expect linemen to look like a shredded adonis?
show me any dude that weights 330 and doesnt have a gut and moobs.
he’s gonna be legit. probably projects as a RT, but hell, if he falls to the browns in the 2nd round, id take him in a heartbeat.

what spencer said.
March 12th, 2009 at 9:12 AM
Brady Quinn thinks 19 reps is lady like.
Roeth, yes, NFL videos never work, I run latest firefox with some ad/script blocking.
March 12th, 2009 at 9:12 AM
I still think he’s a top-10 talent but good grief, I never want to see him shirtless and in motion again.
March 12th, 2009 at 9:16 AM
how many future NFL players did he go against in the SEC this year?
March 12th, 2009 at 9:18 AM
Dur, dur, SEC defenses are the best – he probably went up against 30 NFL players!
/said whilst doing jack off motion
March 12th, 2009 at 9:18 AM
How many do any college players go against?
I’ll take him on the Bangs.
/never seen him play. just tired of drafting fucking linebackers and corners in the first round.
March 12th, 2009 at 9:18 AM
this guy reminds me of Mike Williams(Texas) who the Bills took with the 4th pick in 2002
March 12th, 2009 at 9:21 AM
so Smith dominates a weak defensive league, then has his mind on the NFL and gets booted from the bcs game. then he bails on the combine. then he shows up fat and flabby and weak.
i still think he’s a top 10 talent, but as the questions mount, i lose interest
March 12th, 2009 at 9:22 AM
If the SEC is a weak defensive league, then what’s a strong league? The NFC East?
/devout SEC hater, but let’s get real here.
March 12th, 2009 at 9:23 AM
Robert Ayers and Tyson Jackson, for starters. Probably the two best DEs in the class.
March 12th, 2009 at 9:24 AM
more than any other LT in the nation, i can almost guarantee that. he faced LSU, florida, auburn and georgia, all teams that can get seriously after the passer, plus he faced greg hardy from ole miss and ricky sapp from clemson.
i challenge you to find ANY LT who faced teams that have a pass rush like that. the SEC has the cream of the crop along the DL, and smith handled them with ease.
March 12th, 2009 at 9:24 AM
If the SEC is a weak defensive league, then what’s the Big 12?
March 12th, 2009 at 9:26 AM
Wow, a fat offensive lineman. Shocking! He will probably be the only fat O-lineman in the NFL next year. ha!

paul rudd is relentlessly promoting this new movie … will anyone see it JUST because of rashida jones?
March 12th, 2009 at 9:30 AM
While the hottie spawn of Quincy Jones’ loins is attractive, Paul Rudd being in a movie is reason enough to see it. I have never seen a movie because of a female lead and will never do it just because the lead is hot. You can find pics online and save the money.

No. That movie looks like a recylcled piece of wretched. I can google Rashida.
March 12th, 2009 at 9:34 AM
But come on now, this dude is fat…
March 12th, 2009 at 9:35 AM
It’s getting really good reviews from people that I kinda trust. They’ve said that the plot is something we’ve all seen before but that it’s done really well.
Plus, Lou Ferrigno puts Segal in a sleeper hold at one point. Even though I grew up post-Hulk TV show, I still love Ferrigno.
March 12th, 2009 at 9:36 AM
good job on the distraction from your crazy “weak defensive league” noise, TBL.
March 12th, 2009 at 9:37 AM
bsanders…oh, he’s fat as shit. that’s not up for debate.
March 12th, 2009 at 9:38 AM
Paul Rudd is not fat! Only at the beginning of The Shape of Things
March 12th, 2009 at 9:38 AM
Brave -
I just poked around and noticed it is getting good reviews. Eh, I should probably wait and see. The premise does look recycled.
Mizerle – +1.
March 12th, 2009 at 9:40 AM
I interviewed Ferrigno at the Metropolis, IL Superman festival in college and he was awesome. Telling all these old stories about bodybuilding and Arnold and how long it took them to “green” him. He’s a bit hard to understand, but really nice.
“Stop calling me Hulk.”
March 12th, 2009 at 9:40 AM
distraction? i just saw rudd on regis and rashida jones looks damn fine.
later today i’ll try to look up who smith went up against, and see if he gave up any sacks.
March 12th, 2009 at 9:42 AM
sacks on John Parker Wilson should be attributed to John Parker Wilson, not any of his linemen.
March 12th, 2009 at 9:45 AM
TBL…he gave up 1 sack in 2008.
March 12th, 2009 at 9:45 AM
this is also true.
March 12th, 2009 at 9:47 AM
I’m pretty jealous sanders. Ferrigno has struck me as an interesting guy and is in the top 10-15 celebrities I’d like to run into sometime.
March 12th, 2009 at 9:47 AM
yeah, this looks hilarious…. fuck, eat pussy, fag, fart, shit, motherfucker, movie over. Think I’ll pass

March 12th, 2009 at 9:48 AM
ive heard ferrigno is a straight up asshole.
then again, ive never met the guy so i’ll hold off judgement.
March 12th, 2009 at 9:51 AM
That certainly could be true, as I was interviewing him so he could have been posturing.
I read in Esquire that the movie also features a “jack off station” with kleenexes and condoms.
March 12th, 2009 at 10:14 AM
because offensove linemen should be skinny and svelte??
watch game film of him at alabama
March 12th, 2009 at 10:15 AM
Rashida Jones is super FINE. Still not going to see that p.o.s. movie though
March 12th, 2009 at 10:29 AM
He’s nowhere near as flabby as Orlando Pace was in workouts before the draft. He was a sold D-cup.
March 12th, 2009 at 12:58 PM
the nfl network cameraman is racist.
