"Rookie cornerback Syd'Quan Thompson, one of the team's two seventh-round selections, could not defend against a vessel vassal.

How in the wide world of sports would the 5-foot-9 (if that tall), 190-pound (ha!) Syd'Quan prevent passes intended for Reggie Wayne, or even Bruce Wayne? He'd get his apostrophe knocked off."

Woody Paige (that zombie on Around the Horn who dies of an aneurysm every episode) thinks Syd'Quan Thompson can't make it in the NFL. The Squid thinks otherwise.

Quite a weekend for the Thompson clan.

Syd’s brother Shaq shined on ESPN Friday as his Grant H.S. (Sacramento) team crushed Folsom.

Fathaigh go mbuaimid!

wow

Syd looked really fast on that punt return, i’d guess his speed has increased after an NFL training camp. With his performance tonight I’m sure even if the broncos don’t want him he’ll find his way onto another team.

So many Golden Bears doing well in the pros these days. Great to see!

Syd looks really quick and slippery

Not to take anything away from Syd, but what a horrible throw/read on that INT.

He looked spectacular on the return. With a decent block on the punter, it would have been a sure 6. A TD on D and on ST, that would have been impressive!

GOLD OUT MOZAMBIQUE!

Was that our man Dennis Dixon? I like it.

Proud to hold season tickets to the only NBA team owned by a Russian oligarch.

No, that was Charlie Batch. Dixon had played in the 1st half.

Yes, I am an Old Blue. Now get off my lawn.

I am glad he finally got the chance to show himself to the NFL.

There is a reason people dont threw his way in college afterall.
