What's this about a blind dog finding a nut?

What's this about a blind dog finding a nut?

It's kind of like a deaf squirrel finding a bone :sosp:

He's been pretty good at draft scouting. I can excuse screwing up a metaphor or two

(heck, sometimes even the best of us make an occasional tpyo on here)

[BountyHunter]

Plus the metaphor doesn't really fit the question.

[Mr. Scot]

I get what he was trying to say, but yeah, it was clumsy

[SorthNarolina]

Tommy Jone?

[Mother Grabber]

Leticia?

Maybe he said "hog" but they heard "dog"

[Mr. Scot]

Maybe he said "hog" but they heard "dog"

How would that make any more sense? :confused:

[beuer1]

idk

I've heard some people say hog before.

i like stuff like this. this is probably the first many observer readers have heard of don gregory, even though he really righted the ship of college scouting when he came in. yeah, the metaphor talking about fairley's good season was really clumsy, but it's really nice to see that the panthers are no longer an organization of hermetically sealed lips from top to bottom.

Nice read, I really think highly of Don Gregory. Lets hope he can find so gems in this draft.

No really, what does the metaphor mean? 0.o

Is he saying that Fairley could be a fluke but that it's unlikely?

I think he was trying to say Fairley is not a fluke, but it came out oddly...
