/\ Vince got a 16 the second time he took it (according to his agent)....They wouldn't say what he got the first time. Anything below 10 is below the literacy mark...

One example of the questions on this test was on Sportscenter tonight. The example was something like.... "Newspapers are sold for 21 cents each. How much would it cost to purchase 4 news papers?"

I found some scores on the Wonderlic from 2005.

What's sad is that Willie Mcneil scored a 0. Another thing is that some players scores went down on the second test. Now, I doubt that they gave the players the exact same test, but still to have such huge drops in scores is odd to say the least.

Though the questions seem ridiculously simple I heard the test is 50 questions in 12 minutes. I could see how the severe time restrainst could cause some guys to crack under the pressure and miss some simple questions. Still, only gettting a 6 (if that's true) would be quite embarrassing if you ask me.

I wouldn't be surprised if he got a 6. Apparantly, it was a rumor, but it wasn't denied either. Bottom line: he had to take it a 2nd time, if you score good enough the first time there won't be a 2nd time. Makes sense to me. And he was the only guy who showed up to the White House in a sweatsuit while the rest of the Texas players were in suits. Common sense man.

But does it matter? What's sad in today's sports world is all that matters is what happens on the field/court/diamond, etc. He'll get paid, be a millionaire and I'll work hard throughout my life to live decently.

Maybe Vince is a democrat.

It may cost him in the short run. That low of a score to some will cause him to fall a few spots in the draft. That kind of fall will be measured in the millions.

To quote that one hit wonder Skee-lo.

I wish I was a foot taller so I could be a baller.

lol democrat lol :pinch: :laugh: :o :cool: :blink: :)

and i love that song :shifty:

Harmony marks first day of owners meeting

Brooks hopes restructured deal will allow him to finish career with Bucs

Rams release veteran wide receiver

Arrington gives up $4.4 million to buy his freedom from the Redskins

this may be the end of the NFL as we know it. in 2 years they could lose the cap and 4-6 team will be great.and this up coming year will have teams lose key players because of the cap.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

      With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.

      Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
