That guy is knighting the shite out of Mo. Wow. He must have a learning disabled kid or something.
Not gonna let him get run into the ground. I love how the first story is the only one that matters though. I also kinda dislike Mike Florio based on how shiteously he reported on the whole Saints deal.

It really didn't make sense anyway.

I was suprised I picked up no racial bias in taking the sample test

Unimportant for a DB.

I'm 33, so if you're older than I am, then I'm kinda disappointed in you. The point I'm driving at is you can't base your opinion off of your own experience taking that standardized test because you don't have a similar circumstance.
The learning disability that you don't struggle with doesn't prevent you from reading through & perhaps even breezing through that test.
A learning disability isn't some sort've indictment that you're the functioning equivalent of a post-operative frontal lobotomy patient. What it means is that there are issue(s)-medical or developmental in nature-that prevent you from learning as quickly, efficiently or as adeptly as others.
In other words...Not better or worse. Just different.
For you to make an assumption based on your own experience carries exactly zero validity in terms of the discussion because you aren't speaking from any perspective other than your own. You have zero insight on what standardized testing is like for someone with a learning disability.
In other words: your opinion within this discussion is completely meaningless because you lack perspective.
Not out of willfull ignorance or purposeful negative intent. You just simply can't relate because you don't have a learning disability.

From reading about the bias I thought I would find obtuse questions about swimming, rock and roll,European History

Do you? No flame, this just seems like a sensitive subject.

What I suspect happened is a club drafting after 5 leaked the test score to try and scare off teams in the top 5 from drafting Claiborne.
Sounds like the Carolina Panthers are doing some work!

this thread is proving once again that bama is the classiest fanbase in the sec just like they claim.

so he's taken the test 20+ times and still got a 4?

Because I am not connected to any SEC program per se I most certainly am not slandering the kid (mo)or the many kids that get a low score because of the color of the uniform, forgive me for taking the test to realize an abnormally low score is the product of a lack of effort not intelligence.

Not that I'm aware of. I was diagnosed ADHD (off the charts) at age 22. But I was able to graduate with HS w/decent grades & get to my senior year @ LSU w/110 credit hours (before real-estate finance called my name).
Got perscribed but only took meds for 2 months total in the 11 years since.
The subject is a sensitive one because regardless of who the kid is, a learning disability isn't something he can control. The guy was a stand-up cat at LSU & contributed in the community. Was never in a lick of trouble, and worked hard as hell to build himself into something special.
For me its like the difference between being publicly harassed for your shoes, or the fact that you have a club-foot. One is your decision. The other you have zero control over.

Serious question...do they have some means of knowing if someone is just guessing if he doesn't know the answer on a multiple choice question? Do the players have to sign some sort of honor code type thing saying that if they don't know, they won't attempt to answer?
It just seems to me like you could guess "C" every time you had no clue and at least avoid an embarrassingly low score.
I've always thought that a lot of the 1st round types just sign their name, answer the first 10 questions, get annoyed, and quit.

or he actually has a disability and needs help in the class room and he got that here and with extra work put in he did alright.
the journalist is a piece of shite for smearing mos name like he did but that is typical as journalist are almost as dirty of people as politicians.

slandering the kid? You gotta be talking to someone else. I haven't mentioned that word at all. He's fair game in the public eye. I just hate that this story is run with without context.
I'd love to see what would happen if Mike Florio had a son who got clowned nationally for failing an ECON test in college and he didn't take his ADHD meds and couldn't concentrate in a story that went viral.
It's a DB move not to at least look for a comment out of the kid's camp or LSU, which someone else was easily able to get (and has been subsequently reported & linked in this thread & elsewhere). I won't hold my breath for Florio's update/apology/retraction.

I do have a learning disability and transpose digits thanks to dyslexia that being said the vocab was beyond easy leading me to believe many dudes are not taking the test in earnest but just punching in an answer asap to get it the frick over with.
