"The Next Big Thing" in the NFL?

Post by flankmen »

"The Next Big Thing" Brock Lesner, former WWF champion, wants a shot at the NFL. I doubt he's got much of a chance to land a roster spot, but he can put up some impressive numbers.

Nobody questions his tenacity. His strength. His pure athletic ability. A few weeks after his wrestling career came to an end with a Wrestlemania loss to Goldberg, Lesnar ran the 40-yard dash in 4.7 seconds, a blistering time for a man his size. He has a 10-foot standing broad jump. A 35-inch vertical leap, not to mention the bench (475) and squat (695) numbers. It's the tools of an NFL running back power packed into a gladiator's frame.

I actually ran into him in the Orlando airport last week. He's a big fucker. He sounds like kind of a prick in that interview but I'm kind of hoping he makes it. I want to see how he can match up with some of the big dogs in the NFL.

He also is coming from an environment where steroid use isn't just accepted, it's encouraged. I bet he won't pass a single NFL drug screen.

I haven't been keeping up with the WWE stuff. He ended his career? He was one of the best wrestlers to watch.

He has to be using this as a contract ploy.

To print what Brock Lesnar said might make even John Rocker blush. But after his curse-laden outburst, he turned to a nearby reporter and explained, "I don't like gays. Write that down in your little notebook. I don't like gays."
I hope he fails.
