Interesting. I'm sure we will hear back pedaling on this but I'd expect them to be hit with a draft pick loss.

Athletes. Such god damned geniuses.

So where does Chip run to avoid getting in trouble. CFL?

[Eagaholic]

I don't see the FO signing him before the end of the draft, it would be a pretty clear paper trail. Not Howie's style. And where's the agent in all this? Maybe Chip bamboozled the kid or maybe the kid was making shtein up to save face (how does he 'take himself off the board,' revoke his eligibility for a couple of hours?).

Either way he probably should have stayed at LSU to finish his medical degree in rocket science.

Shepard believes he'll play receiver, running back, and Wildcat quarterback in Philly's offense, and that he'll return kicks and punts and play gunner on the punt team.

And don't forget, Chip also said he could be team astronaut during the off season.

typical florio anything for a web hit

you cant sign someone before the draft is over. its not even possible. they called him and said we want you dont worry. if tennessee or atlanta drafted him in the 7th hed be in tennessee or atlanta right now

chip is good at illegal recruiting

but lil guy is right...this is a florio special....stop paying attention to that douche

Which is probably why he wrote the piece in the 1st place. You could probably write this story on all 32 teams. But the guy who just bolted the NCAA for similar reasons gives it the most credibility.

Well, the undrafted rookie saying needlessly stupid shtein was a factor. It's a non-event, but he should, you know, shut up.

[ice grillin you]

he shouldnt have used the word sign (if he even did) but he said absolutely nothing wrong....florio knew what he meant but wanted to invent a story...dont get suckered in by your obsessive hatred of athletes....otherwise you are exactly the kind of person florio is writing shtein like this for

[Zanshin]

I do the communications thing for a living. He should have been coached to not talk about it at all. That's not hate, that's reality. He might not have been coached, who knows. Still, there's more bad that can come from him talking than not. That said, I don't really care and I doubt many people will.

[General_Failure]

It'll be nice to remember this when he gets cut in training camp and he doesn't get an offer from another team because he's as dumb as shtein.

[ice grillin you]

so how moronically gullible will you be when nothing comes of this?

[General_Failure]

Super gullible, but he's still as dumb as shtein.

[ice grillin you]

well duh.....all athletes are
