Colin Cowherd was on ESPN radio today talking about Pittsburgh Steelers running back Willie Parker getting a big contract extension. Parker didn't get drafted after finishing college.
Cowherd was talking about how Parker's feel-good story was an exception to the rule. He started rambling about how, as a rule, the best players come from big schools. I tend to agree, but here's his argument paraphrased:
Parker is an exception. look at top QBs Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Carson Palmer. Michigan, Tennessee, USC, all big programs. (He does this for several other positions...gets to defensive line)...Julius Peppers. He went to UNC but played against ACC competition.
makes sense, right? but here's my problem, Parker also went to North Carolina. So UNC is a big program only when used to make the argument that UNC is not a big program.
somebody's going to have to explain that one to me.
