That was a rumor.

That was a rumor.

yea, I think it was really a 16, better than what Dan Marino scored btw.

[DreAming in DigITal]

/\ 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?"

Here is a sample test that was posted on Espn.

I don't know what to say about Vince Young's grade. Some rumors that came out after his score was released was that the test was graded wrong. We will never know the whole truth.

wow, players really struggle with those tests too, don't they? you should be able to pass that test in 6th grade.

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.

Maybe some players have been hit one to many times in the head.

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.

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.
