Darren McFadden: Fast AND Fertile
He laid down blistering 4.27 and 4.33 times in the 40 at the combine yesterday. That's really damn good. And also somewhat of interest was the chatter making the rounds amongst the people covering the combine and captured and relayed to the rest of us via the Atlanta Journal Constitution:
"That's where news got out that Arkansas running back Darren McFadden is not only battling a paternity suit, but that he told a team during an interview Saturday night that he has two children on the way."
Well. That's prolific. He's already blown past the Tom Brady and Matt Leinart level and is already in the Chad Johnson category for children outside of marriage. And, that is a fast enough start at a young enough age that perhaps, dare we dream, Travis Henry's mark might be in reach?
And, again, because I just don't understand this, why is it so hard to buy and put on a condom? Heck, aside from the you-might-make-a-baby concern, should there not also be the you-might-get-a-disease-and-even-maybe-die-because-of-it concern? Or is that worry too rooted in me from being in high school and college in the late 80s and early 90s? At any rate, McFadden appears less than concerned about those kinds of worries.
