this could be interesting. the guy is a physical freak and has a big heart when it comes to effort. Met him once and he seemed like a jerk, but who knows. I think he was smart to quit pro wrestling if he ever wants to spend time with his kid.

The guy hasn't played ball in eight years and they're going to sign him? What are they going off of, his best Homecoming game?
To: Rakkasan1
He might just pull it off. He has size, speed, and strength.
The only big questions are experience and football sense.

XFL, maybe.
NFL, I don't think so.

I was wondering what happened to Brock.

I look forward to watching this moron try to tackle Ahman Green. It will be like watching Bosworth vs. Bo Jackson all over again.

In the late 1980s the Pitt Steelers drafted a college wrestler named Carlton Haselrig in the 11th round of the draft.
The guy was a project, but his wrestling fundamentals translated well to being an offensive lineman and about 4-5 years into his football career he actually made the pro bowl. He then developed mental problems which sadly wrecked both his football career and his life.
This guy is only 26, and may well be worth taking a chance on.

I met and spoke to him for a while after he had a motorcycle accident back in April. He was sitting in the ER and we just started chatting about football, wrestling, and sports in general. He wasn't badly hurt, just pissed off about his bike and bored with no one to talk to. I mentioned that my 12-year old brother was a huge WWE fan and he suggested that we call him up. I'll never forget his greeting, "Hullo Eric, this is Brock Lesnar." I heard the shout of happiness that followed from across the room.
A real class act all around.

This is pretty funny -- I was listening to WFAN, the local sports radio station last night, and some teenage boy called in asking which football team Lesnar was going to sign with! I thought it was the most ridiculous call, and now it turns out the kid was on the money about Brock going to the NFL.

Years ago (late 1970s?) the Washington Redskins invited Andre the Giant to their training camp. I don't remember the details now, but for whatever reason, things didn't work out, and they ended up letting him go. Does anyone here have the full story on that?
