For obvious reasons one of my favorite things to fantasize about is the weigh-in at the NFL’s annual combine in February. Hot, young, muscled, college-football jocks stripping down to their sponsored underwear and stepping on the scale, while bi-curious NFL scouts and coaches snap photos; soon to be hidden in some obscure file on their personal laptop, viewed only when the ‘no-balls-and-chain’ is asleep.

Isn’t America great? As far as spring rituals go, the NFL combine’s weigh-in is right up there with pitchers and catchers reporting to spring training. Yet with the NFL combine just weeks away those horned up guys at the NFL offices couldn’t wait, so they scheduled a preliminary pageant at the Senior Bowl in Mobile on Monday.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining at all. I just find it somewhat odd that these ’straight’ old dudes need/want to see these guys in their underwear twice within six weeks. Really?!? How much is gonna change in sex, er I mean six week?

No wonder we haven’t had an NFL coach or scout come out of the closet, they have all this free soft porn. And just like in any real-life group sex scene, as soon as the hotties get down to underwear there’s always the creepy, Jeff Foxworthy dude trying to get in on the action.

Former USC linebacker Brian Cushing was named the AP’s NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, receiving 39 out of 50 votes by a nationwide panel of 50 sports writers and broadcasters. If you’re wondering why USC had a little bit of a drop off this year consider this, Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews, who also went to USC and was a first-round draft pick, earned three votes and Washington Redskins linebacker Brian Orakpo, another first-round pick from USC, received two votes. Cincinnati Bengals rookie linebacker Rey Maualuga was also a 2010 first-round pick from USC.

Cushing finished the season with 134 tackles for the Houston Texans who finished with their first winning season and narrowly missed the playoffs. Check out the SportsFags bio of Brian Cushing complete with hot shirtless photos and a link to his personal website.

Is there anyone outside of Minnesota who’s surprised that overhyped Spanish point guard Ricky Rubio backed out of a deal to play for the Timberwolves? Rubio told Minnesota owner David Kahn that he’s staying overseas to better prepare for the NBA, just not with the Twolves right now. As I stated in an earlier post drafting Rubio would be a disaster for any team. Yet, the Timberwolves compounded their mistake by drafting another point guard in the same draft as Rubio. It’s probably best not to send mixed signals to a teenage prima dona like Pricky.

I can’t recall another team ever taking such a big gamble with a top 5 pick. If you’re Minnesota, and prior to the draft Rubio is telling teams not to draft him, you better make sure he’s coming before you pick him at #5. Or, since you own three 1st round picks, you draft to build around a point guard who’s not trying to call the shots as an 18 year old. This may be worse than the Minnesota Vikings trading for Herschel Walker and setting the Cowboys up for three Super Bowls.

Rubio is able to sign with Minnesota after the 2011 season but if the same management team is still in place I wouldn’t be surprised if he demanded a trade.
