Greg Paulus’s Self-Confidence Is A Little Off
March 10th, 2010 . by adamnGreg Paulus is a pretty good athlete.
Good enough to garner attention from many major programs in both football (the Irish wanted him), and basketball (everyone wanted him) while enjoying a king’s career at Christian Brother’s Academy in New York.
Good enough to be a 4-year starting point guard at Duke (but let’s be honest, this isn’t 90’s era Duke, this is a Duke era where Christian Laettner-in his 40’s-would make the rest of the Duke athletes look like they belong in the concession stands serving giant-sized soft pretzels).
Good enough to quit playing football for those 4 years, and returning from that hiatus to become the starting quarterback at Syracuse this past year (but let’s be honest, the talent it takes to win the Syracuse quarterback starting job is roughly equal to the acting ability it takes to star in porn).
Recently on Dan Patrick’s radio show, the host pretty much got Paulus to say (admittedly, only after much badgering from Patrick) that he thinks he would be a better draft pick than Jimmy Clausen, or just about anybody else entering the draft (Sam Bradford was the only quarterback he couldn’t be nudged into saying he would be a better pick than).
Hey, I’m all for believing in yourself. So are guys like Brian Tracy, Napoleon Hill, and Zig Ziglar.
However, Paulus just happens to be a little off in his own self-assessment. (Again, he was only a small, weak-armed, sorta-accurate quarterback, that only could get a starting gig at the Chernobyl of college football programs.)
How Off?
-Off like Ben Roethlisberger is off on judging whether women want to have sex with him.
-Off like going to Ruby Tuesday for a healthy meal. (They have veggie burgers that are the equivalent of eating 2 McDonald’s double cheeseburgers!)
-Off like a boss “tickling” his staff members. Of the same sex. Multiple times. (Sorry, the only thing acceptable touching is giving a firm, open-palmed strike to the buttocks, and even that has to be in the locker room-and only there.)
-Off like introducing a new curling iron into a foreign country, where the name for the product is translated as “manure stick”.
That about sums it up for Grep Paulus’s thoughts. Have some fun, and add some more “off like this” scenarios for your own enjoyment.
