Is it just me, or is there something a little squicky about the NFL draft? Just read this NFL Prospect Profile on Darrelle Revis, the Jets top pick.
I can't say I feel horrible for multimillionaire superstar athletes [that means you, Lance Briggs], but considering the way these guys get picked and traded with no choice in the matter (unless you're a Manning), and considering how much money the NFL makes in the process of crippling them for life (with minimal pensions afterward), there's something kinda creepy about the draft.
Read on about Revis:
Positives: Has a muscular physique with a defined upper body, good trapezoid and pectoral development, tight waist and hips, good bubble, strong thighs, knotted calves and minimal body fat … Has exceptional body control and adequate open field quickness … Has exceptional body control on his leaps, getting good elevation … His hands appear soft and natural, as he can pluck the ball outside of his frame …
Negatives: Can turn and run well, but will get a little sloppy and erect in his backpedal … Lacks the blazing speed to stay tight on the receiver in deep routes, but has a good burst to close and recover (likes to play tight, as he realizes he doesn't have the second gear needed when giving up a big cushion) … Has soft hands, but will sometimes try to run with the ball on punt returns before securing it, resulting in costly fumbles ...
On the other hand, Revis sounds like a pretty good guy. My favorite tidbit:
Tannebaum also said he and Mangini both believe how people treat waiters or waitresses or, in this case, car service drivers, gives the real measure of the person. And, as it so happens, the driver who took Revis on his visit next picked up Tannenbaum. Tannenbaum asked the driver what he thought of Revis and the driver raved about what a nice guy Revis was.
So now we know: well-developed pecs, soft hands, AND nice to limo drivers. Go Jets!

I wonder how Revis behaved in Strip Clubs. Maybe they should interview strippers that danced for him to see if he was a gentleman.
I think one of those strippers was already quoted in the "Negatives" section:
"...will get a little sloppy and erect..."
"...has a good burst to close..."
"...Has soft hands..."
"Good bubble"
Any clues on this one?
I was thrown by that one, too.
Looking at the context of the paragraph, and following it geographically, it goes "...upper body, trapezoids, pectorals, waist, hips, BUBBLE, thights, and calves..." - so what's between hips and thighs??? I gonna have to assume it's the ass, since I don't know how a huge crotch bulge is gonna help in the red zone.
Also, I believe that some people have used the term "bubble-butt" to describe someone's backside, so this seems to make the most sense. Especially when you factor the strippers in.
