Old NFL Players

For some reason, I decided to do a little research on the age of NFL players.  I wanted to know how many players were over the age of 30, because I feel like it really can't be that many.  Other than QBs, I'm guessing that for most position groups, there are not that many guys still playing that are 30 years old and above.  And that's why I made this list.  My results came from a look at the rosters according to ESPN.  Let's see what I got (the age in the parentheses is the oldest of each group):

• QBs - 30 (38 years old)
• RBs - 10 (33 years old)
• WRs - 27 (35 years old)
• TEs - 13 (32 years old)
• OLs - 59 (37 years old)
• DLs - 44 (35 years old)
• LBs - 35 (36 years old)
• DBs - 32 (37 years old)
• Ks/Ps - 26 (41 years old)

And what did we learn?  That's 276 guys out of roughly 1,700 total players (or 16%) in the league are 30 and up.  I would say that that means football is a young man's game.  I did find it funny that nearly 50% of all kickers and punters are over 30.  Also, while doing this post, I found that Seattle has a really young team, so don't expect them to drop off any time soon.

"The face of the oldest guy in the NFL."

Top/Bottom 5 Movie Roles - Robin Williams

Here is where I pick a random actor or actress's Top 5 and Bottom 5 Movie Roles (I assume the post title gave that away).  This won't necessarily be the chosen actor or actress's best roles, but a combination of their best and my favorite.  In other words, if there is a tie, I'll go with my favorite.  Also, I won't actually be ranking them, they will be in a random order.  Lastly, this isn't these actor's or actress's best movies, but their best characters.  Let's get started:

Robin Williams

Top 5

Sean Maguire, Good Will Hunting - At first, I wanted to honor Robin by doing a post with nothing but his best roles.  But then I looked up his body of work and he had a lot of stinkers.  In any case, I started with his Oscar winning part.
Alan Parrish, Jumanji - This movie was a must watch as a kid and I loved every minute of it.  Somehow, it stands up to this day.
Genie, Aladdin - Another must watch kid movie even if it is highly racist and teaches us a terrible lesson - if you want something, you just have to wish for it and not work for it.  Seems like kind of a bad way to live life by.
Daniel Hillard , Mrs. Doubtfire - Robin was great in this movie, but I liked Pierce Brosnan better, only because he was in the middle of his James Bond fame and he might be the first James Bond to make a decent movie while still playing Bond.
Rainbow Rudolph, Death to Smoochy - Highly underrated movie.  It's weird, but still highly entertaining.  Seriously, how did a movie about a guy in a giant Rhinoceros costume make it past the drawing board?

Bottom 5

Dan, Old Dogs - I always get this movie and Wild Hogs mixed up, but for good reason, they both sucked.
Bob Munro, RV - The only reason Robin could have possibly chosen to do this movie was for money.  Did he even read the script before he decided to cash the check?
Andrew Martin, Bicentennial Man - Never saw this thing, but based on the movie poster, it looked dumb.
Leslie Zevo, Toys - What can you say about this movie?  They make it look like a kid's movie, but that couldn't be further from the truth.  Seriously, nothing about this movie is meant for kids.
Popeye, Popeye - While Robin made a decent Popeye, the rest of the movie was a pile of garbage.  I kind of want to see Hollywood remake this thing only because I know it will bomb.  Anyone under 30 probably has never heard of this guy.

"R.I.P. Robin, you will be missed."

Stupid State Laws - Florida 11

Here comes another post about a state law that still exists on the books and why it is ridiculous (to see them all, click here):

Florida

"Torpedoes may not be set off in the city."

That makes sense, you don't want some dumb Floridian blowing up a city while trying to impress his stupid friends on a dare.  Then again, shouldn't this one be chalked up to common sense?  Who in their right mind would want to blow a torpedo......oh yeah.  It's Florida.  The state known for its white trash residents.  Which brings me to another thought.  Wasn't Florida known for its over abundance of old people not that long ago?  In order to change the perception of a state that quickly is quite impressive.  Their residents must have been working overtime with their stupidity the past decade to be able to make the nation forget about their old people and now only picture a state full of hicks wearing jean shorts and NASCAR cut-off t-shirts.  Congratulations Florida, you truly are a one of kind.

"Rookie, look what we have here.  A law breaker!"
"But Sarge, this guy hasn't set off the torpedo."
"Good, let's make him set it off because I've always wanted to see one of these things go off.  Then we arrest him."
"Isn't that entrapment?"
"He won't know that, anyone dumb enough to own one of these won't know the law."

Saturday's Video of Saturday

Here is our weekly funny video post.  Let's see what we got for you guys:

Set up:  I think the title of this video sets it up nicely, enjoy:

Summary:  There is no way a garage door can lift a person, let alone being able to generate enough lift to kill them.  And how was the death by basketball to the head not the most ridiculous.  I'm sorry, but a man couldn't throw a basketball hard enough to make someone's head explode and yet a hot chick could?  Just ridiculous.

Who Is This? Part 20

So, who is that scruffy looking dude?  No, it's not the uni-bomber's son.  Try again.  Nothing?  How about a hint, idiot?  His most famous role involved making friends.  Perfect hint if I say so myself.  It wasn't?  Gosh, you really are dumb today, dear reader.  Here's another hint for your slow-witted mind.  His most famous role involved making friends with a luck dragon named Falcor.  Yup, that is Barret Oliver, the guy who played Bastian as a kid in The Neverending Story.  He sure has let himself go, hasn't he?

What is he up to now?  I'll put it this way, if you click on his IMDB page, it still shows a picture of himself as a kid.  So, I'm guessing he hasn't done much other than grow a beard.  Also, doesn't he kind of look like the kid from Jurassic Park?

-A buddy of mine asked me this summer what record Clemson could finish with and I would be happy.  My response was 1-11, as long as that one win was against those dirty South Carolina Gamecocks.  Then I got to thinking about it and realized that that response was not only the funny answer but also true.  Just imagine if your favorite team was winless going into the last game against your arch-rival and your team won.  You could hold that win over their heads for years.  They would say "Your team sucks, they only won one game" and you can always respond with "Yeah, but who did they beat, sucka!".  Sure, it would suck to have such a shitty record, but hilarious that you won the one game that truly matters.

-How many bandwagon SEC fans do you think know what SEC stands for?

-When I heard that Brent Musburger was going to announce games for the SEC Network, I was fairly curious to see who they would pick to be his color analyst.  So, I tuned into the Texas A&M v. South Carolina game to find out and then heard the worst choice possible.  Jesse Palmer.  I can't stand that guy.  I know I've expressed my dislike for him on multiple occasions in last year's WPOTW, but seriously, this is an insult to college football.  That guy is a blowhard and seems to speak just to hear the sound of his own voice.  He adds nothing to the game but false or blatantly obvious statements.  As fellow Brainfart contributor Alex, a Georgia Tech grad but childhood South Carolina fan, texted me during the game "There's nothing worse than losing and having to listen to Jesse Palmer".  And to top it off, he has grown the douchiest beard possible.  Epic fail, SEC Network.

-As for my picks last week, I finished above .500 and would have done better had I not switched the FSU pick at the last second.  Oh well.  In any case, I guarantee a winning week this week or your money back.
