Was reading a some post-draft stuff, and one of the reasons the Bills really liked Manuel was his hand size. Their research was that QBs with larger hands perform better in cold weather. Geno Smith has 9.25" hands, while Manuel has 10.375" hands. For perspective, additional info on other QBs. Biggest shocker was that both Brees and Russell Wilson have 10.25" hands, which is freakish. I've always wondered how much info is out there on fumbles and hand size. Romo and Vick would seem to match the idea that smaller hands fumble more easily

Kolb--9.25

Romo--8.88

Vick--8.5

Alex Smith--9.38

Favre--10.38

Landry Jones--9.18

Weeden-- 9.63

RG3--9.5

Average NFL QB has 9.25" hands, but teams prefer at least 9.5", but hand shape is important. Apparently Dante Culpepper had "webbed hands" where the fingers didn't easily separate.

What an idiotic reason to choose a QB. Having a large hand size sure hasn't helped Mark Sanchez in cold weather in New York:

hand span of 10 1/2 inches at the combine.

I guess watching the tape and seeing that Manuel has no accuracy and only views half the field should be overlooked because he's got big hands...smh

His hands are small given his height, but I don't know where it ever started that he had abnormally tiny hands

edit: I would imagine it wasn't the only reason BUF chose him. Simply part of the reason they liked Manuel over the others

Brent proves that handsize and penissize are not related. #Science

Also, how do they measure the handsize?

God I love my job. I show up to work and find out they're starting this shift out of a different hospital across the county. So now I'm waiting here for my partner to pick me up. Gonna take 30 minutes, now to find a TV to watch.

*The Browns’ draft board was arranged alphabetically, which is very unorthodox and can make it difficult to make decisions on the fly. Front office men around the league were buzzing about the unusual board last week. Also noteworthy is that the Browns did not allow the majority of their scouts in the draft room. But they are not the only team that locks out scouts.

I'm now reading they measure the hands differently, from the top of the middle finger to the end of the wrist.

I'm so confused, so much different sites telling different things :O.

Now I'm not sure if I have average NFL QB hands or super small midget hands.

In an interesting bit for the Patriots, Evan Silva from Rotoworld projects Marcus Cannon as the starting right guard for the Patriots: http://www.rotoworld.com/articles/nfl/43199/59/post-draft-nfl-lineup-rankings

I'm not sure if Belichick will let Cannon compete at guard instead of tackle, but it'd make sense with Svitek coming in as the swing tackle and Zusevics on the practice squad. I think Cannon could provide an upgrade over Dan Connolly, I'd like it if he became a starter.

Connoly was the weakest link on the line last year for sure. He's a great back-up to have, but not a starter. Still, I read that Belichick said that Cannon his best fit is at RT, not guard. We'll see when camp starts.

Disproving racial stereotypes. How does Favre even find his pathetic pitiful puny penis in those massive man mits?

Rodgers is mocked in here for being a midget because he's unusually self conscious about his height in real life. They did an interview with him and talked about it. He hates when he meets fans and they say something along the lines of "I thought you'd be bigger/taller"

I have an authentic Lemieux jersey from like 1994 (Starter brand!) so I guess the Penguins are my favorite team.

Eagles owner Lurie remarries

Last year, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie and his wife, Christina Weiss Lurie, ended their marriage after 20 years together. The divorce occurred quickly and quietly and, fortunately for Eagles fans, had none of the ugliness and dysfunction that marred the Los Angeles Dodgers for multiple years.

Jeffrey Lurie now has a new Mrs. Lurie. According to Zach Berman of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Lurie and Tina Lai married in a private weekend ceremony.

Lai will have no official role in the Eagles organization. “I am happy and excited as Tina and I begin our lives together,” Lurie said in a statement.

The new Mrs. Lurie becomes a potential wild card in the Eagles ownership structure, either in the event of a future divorce or if Lurie, 61, does not sell the team during his lifetime.
