....shouts out sonny/sandy for chris mc cain working out on pro day ... do not know the protocol but good to see him ... not lost and still fighiting / focused
( he could have gone off the deep end after getting kicked)

gracious on the coaches' parts letting mccain work out, since there's a reason he was let go in the first place........

In sports...referring to players by their nicknames is commonplace. For most of us who follow Cal football, we know who biggie is...who V is. given who we know is declaring for the draft, i dont' fault the OP for referring to the players by their nicknames or first names...if you dont know who they are, there's a better way to ask than being a dick about it.

I DTI was being a dick. WBU? 2 understand everyt that some1 writes, u cant expect every1 2b a 2000ial. not aous abbrev everyt inclu team player names like Johnson, chris, V, jg, SD, BM, biggie, kam, rodgers, and khal.

Now, I only have to figure out who kp is.

why don't you just ask like a normal human being? instead of whining about information someone else took the time to post on here, information that most other posters on here understand.

It's not a whine, you child. Instead of being so insecure and self-absorbed that you have to insult people because they weren't born after 1990, and thus actually use complete sentences, why don't you just speak normal, proper English in the first place?

I don't think anyone knows who "kp" is, unless they follow Cal football with a microscope. Given the general lack of football knowledge that most Cal fans have, that means 90% of the readers and probably at least of the regular posters on this board don't know who "kp" is without anything more than that to go on.

Thank you. Kevin Parker.

You are much better mannered contributor than that other kid, who I will just refer to as "d." I'll let him figure out what "d" stands for.

i did speak in "normal, proper English" in the first place. seems like you understood me quite well.

and yes, quite a few ppl know who KP is. they like to call him The Rope Guy, or just "KP". maybe you don't pay enough attention, or maybe your memory is slipping--happens to those born way before 1990.

mc cain avg a 4.67

rodgers 4.88

kam 4.47

those are the only ones i could find

---

Kam Jackson is faster than I had thought. Isn't that 40 time faster than those of Syd'Quan Thompson and Daymeion Hughes? Probably Tim Mixon and Thomas DeCoud, too?

Not sure if that is faster than Nnamdi Asomugh's 40 time.

If you weren't trying to be such a d and succeeding at it, you would have realized that I was referring to the "..." part of your comment, which suggested that you knew the reasons for the dismissal.

But you were playing games then, just as you are now. Sign of a d.

No, you still didn't use proper English. Stop trying to defend the indefensible.

Look at the style of your post above, for example. Try showing that to someone for whom English is not a second language, and ask that person if your sentences meet the accepted elements of style for English. The answer is no.

Hint for you, young millennial: The shift key exists on your keyboard for a reason. Moreover, commas go inside the quotation marks, not outside. Run-on sentences are also a no-no.

It's almost as if California schools stopped teaching grammar.

But see i figured you were smarter than to ask people to divulge personal matters or incidents that the program has tried to keep hidden and out of the media. I'm pretty sure there was a recent thread about another incident where the conclusion reached was that asking for "transparency" and details is actual self-serving.

Besides, the point of the post is still clear without specifying why he was kicked off the team. Point is, he has had attitude problems, and the staff was nice enough to let him work out at pro day despite that.

I refuse to believe that you "is actual" got admitted to Cal.

Kendrick Payne and MSG participated also, according to Calbears.com.

I think Payne tried out for Canadian Football last year and MSG didn't show up anywhere.

Hey, look.

No msg. Fazed out in the '70's.

The term "Grammar Nazi" plays off the authoritative control which the National Socialist Party of Germany exerted during its time in power. Much like the Nazis of Germany would rule with an iron fist enforcing their strict rules of society and even race and ethnicity, a Grammar Nazi similarly unerringly follows their own dogma. In this case, the grammatical rules of language.
