I guess I didn't handle it well, because when he showed up, I thanked him and withdrew my name from consideration.


That's exactly what it was, and he obviously failed. But don't think for a second that they don't also take into account how they handle the situation after the fact.


I find this hard to believe. The NFL is full of prima donnas, my guess is they suspect all of them are going to be one until they prove themselves otherwise. Why would they have to collude with a hospital to setup a test for that?


To see exactly what they wanted to see. Who is going to lose their cool and who will remain calm in in frustrating circumstances. A LB losing his cool probably isn't a big deal to them but if it had been a QB, that would have hurt his value badly.

Trust me, in high stress jobs, employers want to know this info. The interviews for FBI agents are worse that what a drill instructor puts a Sad Sack through. The candidates even know going in what it is about, but the interviewers are so good at pushing buttons, a lot of candidates weed themselves out in that round of the process.


Yeah but this ain't the FBI and they've been watching these guys play football at a high level for 4 years or 3.


If that is all they care about then why do they give the Wunderlich, personality assessments, psychological evaluations, and personal interviews? Believe it or not, most of the owners are not only looking for the best players, but they want someone to represent the brand and sell that merchandise, as well as win ball games.

Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.
