Childs on graduation promise: "Never mind"

You'll never have it this easy again.

About a month ago, Jeremy Childs said that he would return for his senior season at Boise State. You remember, it went something like this:

...yadda yadda my mom, blah blah blah diploma...

Well, like goings-on in Las Vegas...Childs believes that 'things that happen in December, stay in December' and has promptly spun an athletic 180 and decided to depart for the NFL. Rumors to this effect started swirling last week from J Bates' general direction...but now it appears confirmed—Childs is taking his 10-yard outs to the big show, and Orlando Scandrick's senioritis has infected another big time Bronco player. Sadly, Childs was only 1 yard from jersey retirement.

In other news, Kirby Moore will start next year.

Can we FedEx him the sledgehammer?

Orlando Scandrick's NFL career has barely begun...but he's already had two highlight reel hits as a Cowboy. Unfortunately...his first such hit left him heavily stingered, but this one was a beaut. I'm sure Patrick Ramsey is on Glenn Martinez' list right about now.

Ka-powza!

Newly minted Cowboy Orlando Scandrick speaks...

Orlando Scandrick is fast

Groundbreaking news today from Blogging the Boys. It seems that Orlando Scandrick (#32, above) is fast.

Orlando Scandrick is fast. He’s also adept at playing off receivers which gives him a nice head-start fitting in with the Cowboys coverage schemes. Can he do it when the pads come on and the physical nature of the game increases 100-fold? That’s what training camp is all about but from what we heard he has the technique and speed to be an effective cornerback. He might just be a steal in the 5th-round.

Future updates will reveal that Terrell Owens is arrogant, Tony Romo is whipped and Pacman Jones is felonious.

Scandrick a Cowboy

It may not have been as high as he could have gone, but Orlando Scandrick apparently made a fairly wise decision coming out early as the Dallas Cowboys made him their 8th pick of the 5th round on Sunday. Scandrick was the 143rd pick overall. Scandrick, who ran a 4.3 40 for scouts will be missed in the Bronco secondary and on special teams since he has started in those roles since his true freshman year. BSU fans might not miss the penalties, but we will miss this:
