Sponge Count

“I was sitting, hoping and praying. It was very exciting,” Vollmer said. “I was really happy I ended up here with such great coaching.”

Vollmer said he plans to watch a lot of film and become a “football sponge” in the next few weeks.

via Vollmer’s journey went from Germany to Patriots – Breaking News – Sports – MiamiHerald.com.

Up to 8 now, thanks to a pair of Patriots (enormo-German Sebastian Vollmer and ex-wrestler Jermail Porter) and Bengals tackle Andre Smith (“I’m just absorbing it in like a sponge). Shocked at the low turnout. Anybody spotted any others out there?

    In a desperate attempt to make this post (and topic) interesting, I’ve resorted to masturbating to your head shot (!), all while imagining what your vocal inflection might be, were you narrating this post.
    For some reason I can’t finish off…can you go back to eviscerating Friedman, or the Republican party? I know they’re easy targets, but I really need a big one…

    Are these guys really Sponge-worthy?

    N.E. and Cincy have each had TWO rookies come out of the sponge-closet this week. Impressive.

    I think we’ll get a few more before it’s all said and done. We need to get some other teams contributing though; N.E. and Cincy can’t carry the sponge count by themselves.

    Why? I love football, but… But the draft is over. And this “sponge” thing is like a bad Dave Letterman bit. Or, something Rick Reilly would wipe his ass with. There are political-type things happening in the world. You are a great political writer. Bring that beat back..bring that beat back…(begin “Funky Drummer” break)….

    Perhaps you should start counting the player that threaten to “Make the teams that passed me up pay”.

    I first thought this post said ‘Spooge Count,’ and Taj’s comment confused me further.
