Wonderlic Time

One of my favorite times of the year is when Wonderlic scores come out. I know the Wonderlic doesn't really mean anything in the long run (I know this personally because Alex Smith scored a 40 on his, and look how well he's done for my 49ers), but it's still fun to learn who is smart and who is a complete dumbass. And man, do we have plenty of both for you.

First up, Matt Stafford proved that he's definitely pretty smart. Stafford scored a 38 on the Wonderlic which obviously boosts his stock. USC's Mark Sanchez scored 28 and Kansas State's Josh Freeman 27, which is about average for QBs.

Also scoring well was Maryland cornerback Kevin Barnes, who scored a 41. I just wish that Rhodes Scholar winner Myron Rolle, who put the NFL on hold to go to Oxford next year, had taken the Wonderlic. He might pull a Kevin Curtis on it if he ever takes it (Curtis scored a 48). By the way, Pat McInally, a graduate of Harvard University who played wide receiver and punted for the Bengals, is the only football player to record a confirmed perfect score of 50.

Now let's get to the dumbasses. There are a lot more of those.Seems the wide receiving core is especially stupid this year. Michael Crabtree of Texas Tech scored a 15, Darrius Heyward-Bey of Maryland scored a 14, and Percy Harvin of Florida scored a 12. Yikes. But don't worry, there was someone who was worse. Hakeem Nicks of UNC wowed everyone with an 11. A score of 10 suggests a person is literate, so at least all of the receivers can read this, I hope.

By the way, Jeremy Maclin of Missouri scored a 25, so he's like the Einstein of the receiving corps.A few other fools include linebacker Rey Maualuga, who scored a 15, and O-lineman Andre Smith, who continued his epic draft stock fall by posting a 17. Here are a few other scores for some top prospects.

Arizona's Eben Britton - 31 Virginia's Eugene Monroe - 24 Baylor's Jason Smith - 23 Ole Miss's Michael Oher - 19 USC's Clay Matthews - 27 USC's Brian Cushing - 23 Michigan's Louis Delmas - 12

The lowest score we know of remains Nicks, but so far it seems only Wonderlic scores for top prospects are out. I'm sure someone scored below a 10 this year, like Chris Leak's famous score of 8, or Vince Young's alleged score of 6. By the way, in case you were wondering, the lowest score ever on the Wonderlic came courtesy of Darren Davis, a running back from Iowa State who scored a 4.

If we find out about any players who are illiterate from this year's draft class, we'll be sure to let you know.Georgia's Matthew Stafford stands out with Wonderlic score. [Chicago Tribune]

Not coming off

I will not take these shorts off, with the exception of a nightly bubble bath, until Michigan is eliminated from the tournament. Guaranteed I won't you hound dogs.

Ten year drought is over

Michigan 73, Iowa 45

and the Wolverines are now officially invited to the Big Dance. Not even sure how to act now it has been that damn long.

Damn I love this

CBSSports.com is again offering March Madness On Demand, streaming live all games of the NCAA men's basketball tournament for free. But as with all great technological advancements, it comes with a price of a different kind.

The network is thinking of rolling out a year-round Video On Demand feature that will include not only NCAA men's basketball tournament highlights, but also other college sports as well. This will of course dominate your every waking moment at work and enslave us all.

What sort of monster has CBS created? Last year the web site had 3.3 million unique visitors over the first four days of the tournament, which was up 129 percent for 2007. This year CBS predicts that online viewership will increase 50 percent overall to 7.2 million.

What effect this has on the nation's workforce is unclear. What is known is that the CBS site recorded nearly 3 million clicks on its "Boss Button" in 2008; that application on the site in which users can kill the speaker sound and jump to an Excel spreadsheet if a supervisor approaches their desk.
