NFL ain't down with nepotism

The NFL Combine starts tomorrow. Most guys shy away from saying they look forward to watching dudes lift weights on TV. Not me. Fortunately NFL Network has nothing else to show between now and April's Draft, which means eventually I'll be able to watch all 20-whatever hours of Combine coverage in order to satiate my embarrassing addiction to the NFL Draft.

The Combine is invite-only. That means there are snubs. Everyone loves an event that includes snubs. Approximately 10 percent of draft picks each year were not invited to the Combine. I know this because I read it on an ESPN Insider article by Mel Kiper wannabe, Todd McShay. That's right, b1tches; I'm inside! I have no idea how many of those guys end up getting cut. Probably most of 'em.

Wannabe Kiper's article includes a list of this year's top 15 Combine snubs.

1. Brandon McAnderson
2. Lamar Myles
3. Darrell Blackman
4. Shannon Tevaga
5. Corey Lynch
6. Danny Lansanah
7. Keon Lattimore (Maryland RB; 5-10 5/8; 228; 4.59)
8. Steven Tate
9. Andre Callender
10. Xavier Lee
11. Cornelius Brown
12. Tim Hightower
13. Alex Boston
14. Tony Temple
15. Lance Leggett

Who the hell is Keon Lattimore?

Keon is Ray Ray's brother.

Daaaaaaaamn, NFL! You'd never make it in politics. Nepotism is what greases the wheels of the American machine. It's only fair, though. If Keon gets an invite, maybe the world never gets a chance to see Mississippi's Benjarvus Green-Ellis, who received an invite to the Combine along with his 32/100 overall rating.

Bring on the men in tights.
