Nfl combine, too much hype.

The nfl combine, is one tool for nfl scouts to basically interveiw high end nfl prospects looking to get drafted. AN affective tool, but in my opinion greatly overhyped. I believe a player should not be evaluated by how fast they run the 40 yard dash or high they can jump, but by what they do on the field. Advertising of the nfl combine has hyped it up to be the superbowl of the offseason. This puts immense pressure on the athletes taking place in this event.

The impact of the combine is has made its way into the high shool arena. Every year thousands of highschool football players make their way to combines. The 40 yard dash is the drill that is focused on by the media,it is an important measure of speed but not to the point that the media makes it to be. The 40 yard dash is mostly technique that if mastered could make you look all-world. All I'm saying is that the combine is overhyped to the point that media portrays it as the the only way to evaluate a player, and because of this the jump to the nfl for these combine allstars is not always an easy jump.

Lil wayne releasing a rock album?

Lil wayne is one of the best lyricists in the rap game. For a period over the last few years he was hailed as the undisputed "best artist", but his last album THE CARTER 3 did not live up to the world of hype leading up to the release. His upcoming rock album has garnered much hype, and rightfully so, if produced right this could rejuvinate his career. Run DMC fused rock with hip hop back in the late 1980's and it helped their career imensely, Lil wayne has the same oppurtunity to reach out to a new brand of listener. No matter the outcome he will still be considered one of the best artists in the game.
