bradie James, Flozell Adams and Andre Gurode are the dumbest players on our team. Gurode is probably the dumbest of them all.

Salary.com gives plenty of info about the job.

I wonder who these folks are working for if there is no such field?

Rocket science is the informal term used for aerospace engineering. As I said, as well as NASA (you've heard of NASA. right?) there is no such thing as a rocket scientist. They are engineers.

NASA Invites Students to Become Rocket Scientists at the Sunday Experiment

NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. invites elementary school students and their families to its Visitor Center on Sunday, November 16 from 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. for a free afternoon of eye-opening, hands-on activities that will help you experience what it's like to be a NASA engineer.

Students will get a chance to earn a NASA engineering certificate by building three types of small rockets -- pop rockets, straw rockets, and foam rockets. They will even get to meet a real NASA engineer.

Rocket scientist= informal term for aerospace engineering. Your example of Rick Ballard, why is he listed as Liquid Rocket Propulsion Engineer instead of Rick Ballard- Rocket Scientist?

They certainly have the body structure to carry around larger amounts of dumb.Those helmets look so small sometimes.

Off the top of my head I would have to say Holmgren with the Pack.

Since you admit that there is a term called rocket science my original post would be correct.

Thank you for proving me correct!

You can apply for a rocket scientist job here:

Big guys are smarter cause they have bigger heads, which mean they have bigger brains. Just like the human head is bgger than a chimps because it has to hold bigger brains.

Size matters

Saaaayy... you might be on to something here. Einstien was pretty small and if you look at most scientists, they're not big guys either.

Not to mention that I knew this jockey once who was smart as a whip. His wife was bigger than he was and sure enough... she wasn't as smart as he was.

Add all that up and I'd say size is THE most accurate guage of IQ that anyone has ever come up with! Just brilliant.

Gary Coleman for head coach! :rolleyes:

I can't believe this was even made into a topic.


Pardon me Gulliver, I am merely proposing that athletes that have battled the adversity of being undersized or less physically gifted may have succeeded by compensating in other ways (ie intelligence). If you didn't like the topic why did you bother replying Mr. 800 pound gorilla of the message board?

We should actually concentrate on the thread. He specifically mentioned the Cowboys O-line. Their not stupid, but IMO its pretty clear that speed rushers give them major problems. Someone suggested that Adams, Gurode, and James are the dumbest players on the team. Totally disagree. Adams never would of played for over ten years, if he was dumb. Gurode has to be smart, since he makes all of the line calls. Same thing with James making the defensive calls on defense. Bottom line is that speed kills the Boys O-line.
