See What You Want To See

Lots of game analysts say stupid things. This blog would lose half it's contents if that were not the case. (And if Republicans weren't out there being total hypocrites and advocating terrible policy - the other half would be gone).

This weekend, I was watching the Michigan-Purdue game on the Big10 Network when their analyst (some guy I was not at all familiar with - Charles Martin maybe?) said this about Roy Roundtree:

Just watching Roundtree move around - lookin' at his measurables and giving him a quick eyeball test - he kind of reminds me of Braylon Edwards.

If I may:

Braylon Edwards lists at 6'3", 214 lbs.
Roy Roundtree lists at 6'0", 176 lbs.

How the heck does anyone who has checked the measurables think they are at all alike? That is stupefying.

Roundtree does not remind me of any of Michigan's elite receivers - who historically have almost always been on the larger side (I am not counting Steve Breaston as elite). I guess the more relevant comparisons would be Mario Manningham (who was just better than Roundtree) or, perhaps even better, would be Mercury Hayes or Chris Calloway.
