Been a Dawg all my life, I honestly feel bad about that win I wanted us to beat Ohio state that bad not TCU they played well through the season but like most teams they're big fish in a small pond so they look good beating a bunch of nobodies and Michigan played sloppy last week which got TCU there

Quay walker scored a 9 on the wonderlic which puts his iq at severe learning disability levels. He is very likely about as mature as a child of around 6 or 7 years old. It explains why he acts the way he does and honestly I’m not sure it’s safe for him or the people around him if he keeps playing a professional sport.

The color Catholic Cardinals wear is scarlet, which symbolizes the blood of Christ. It’s a different shade of red than what the football cardinals wear.

As I said above, the Chicago Cardinals got their name from the color of the faded jerseys:

>In 1898, Chicago painting and building contractor Chris O'Brien established an amateur Chicago-based athletic club football team named the "Morgan Athletic Club". O'Brien later moved them to Chicago's Normal Park and renamed them the "Racine Normals", since Normal Park was located on Racine Avenue in Chicago. In 1901, O'Brien bought used maroon uniforms from the University of Chicago, the colors of which had by then faded, leading O'Brien to exclaim, "That's not maroon; it's cardinal red!" It was then that the team changed its name to the "Racine Street Cardinals".[1]

Interesting. Somehow I’d gotten it into my head that the original meaning of the name was cardinals as in bishops. But that may actually be true. The Cardinals wear red and white, the same two colors as a Catholic cardinal.

Well that's the kicker though. Even guys who had massive success in college fail sometimes in the NFL. Nobody to my knowledge who was a clear failure in college however was a success in the pros, at least not in half a century.

Almost every coach has spent some time at the college level.

Bro is 22 years old. I’m 25 and if you showed me video of some of the dumb shit I did 3 years ago I would hate myself for weeks. One year ago almost to the day he was playing the COLLEGE football championship. He’s an “adult”, but not really. That doesn’t excuse his actions, but with his apology there’s an obvious desire to improve and you have to respect that.
