On Tuesday, Michael Klopman opined right here on XPF that the NFL combine didn't matter and that GM's shouldn't be basing their draft decisions based on the results.
If you are a big NFL fan and followed the Scouting Combine in Indy the past few days you are probably aware of the Taylor Mays timing controversy in the 40-yard dash as the video has been making the rounds on the internet all day.
If by chance you didn't get a chance to see what all the hoopla is about you can see for yourself below.
It's not bad enough that these guys aren't being asked to work out in pads and the drills say nothing about how the athlete would perform in a game, but now we find that the measurements they are taking (which is the whole point of the silly exercise) are nit precise and sometimes incorrect.
If this doesn't put a stamp on Klopman's letter I don't know what would. - Jason Lockhart

If you haven't voted in our polls on the site yet please do so. We are trying to get a feel for how our readers are looking at Football so we can write about things they want to hear. The poll questions are:
"Do you think the NCAA should have a Playoff to determine the National Champion rather than the BCS / Bowl System?"
and
"Should the NFL adopt the NCAA method of Overtime or continue to flip a coin for possession and have sudden death?"
