I was listening to Jurecki Monday morning and he stated that the league is trying to cover up Young's low score because he is one of the glamor names in the drafts this year. This article came out today from Profootballtalk.com. I know that many question their accuracy and think they are like the national inquire. But sometimes thay are right.
LEAGUE INSIDERS SMELL A COMBINE COVER UP
As the story of Vince Young's dubious use of 12 minutes on a Saturday in Indy dominates the print and broadcast media, some league insiders are increasingly skeptical regarding the league-propagated chain of events.
Said one league source: "People that I have talked with think the league is trying to avoid a lawsuit and may be attempting damage control by saying that the test was improperly scored and that Young will be able to take the test again. . . . It seems too coincidental to me that the player happens to be Vince Young. I've never heard anything like this before. . . . In the end, I think it's a big conspiracy cover up.
"I don't think there is any question that he scored a 6," added the source. "He may not have taken the test with all seriousness, but I don't think there's any question as to his score. I don't think there's any question the test was scored properly. And I don't think there's any question that the whole thing is being covered up because Mack Brown and Vince Young's people have blown gaskets. Is it coincidental that Mack Brown and [Texans G.M.] Charley Casserly are very close? I think not." (Casserly, by the way, is the only league official to address the brouhaha, telling reporters on Sunday that the reports of Young's score were not inaccurate.)
"Those guys that give the test administer over 300 tests each combine," said the source. "It's not hard to do. It's easy. I've never ever heard of a test being scored improperly. It it was, just produce the test."
We agree. What happened to the first test? Did it self-destruct? Invisible ink, maybe?
That's the biggest proof of foul play, in our view. The first test, as the cliche' goes, "is what it is." And it'll be interesting to see whether the official results include both of Young's scores -- or whether the only number that shows up in the report is the 16.
If the official score of the first test ends up being something more than a six, we'll be the first ones to trumpet it. Our only goal is to get access to what league insiders are talking about -- and to get it right. There's no doubt that someone connected to the combine ran his mouth on Saturday, and that the number attached to Young was a six. We urge the NFL to clear the air as to the score that Young earned on the first test, so that the record can be set straight, once and for all.
