    Ok, they actually signed Brock. There is a bitter difference of opinion on how good/bad he is going to do. Some say at best he'll make the practice squad, others say he'll be part of the d-line rotation by mid-season.

    I for one think he is not only a physical specimin, but he is a world class athlete. The guy has a lot of fire in him, and he's done well at everything he's tried. Bad thing is he hasn't played football for 11 years, and he doesn't have the technique, and he obviously doesn' know his assignments. Also, there is that little thing called experience, which as eluded to before, he has pretty much none of.

    I don't know what to think. It will be hard, but I don't see why he can't succeed, if not now, then next year. Either way, I'm glad the Vikes took a chance on him. It will be fun to see how he comes along. I guess he's already been working out with Hovan for the past few months.

    What are your opinions?

    yeah... world heavyweight champ in Division I NCAA, which obviously is real wrestling. World champ in the WWE or whatever it's called now. Ran the 40 in 4.75 on a bad groin. The man is solid. No one else even tried him out. I guess Tice tried him out once a few months ago, and once the other day, and he was intrigued enough to sign him. I think it'll be a fun story to pay attention to. Can't wait to see what happens.

    Interior defensive lineman.

    If he can learn the defense I can see him playing quite a bit, but only if he is a very quick learner. The man obviously knows how to handle people physically, is extremely well put together, and fast. I hope he has a quick intellect to allow him to learn the game...he would be something to watch.
