The Nittany Turkey

Primarily about Penn State football, this is a tale told by idiots, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Someday, Justin Timberlake Will Play His Role

Posted on March 12, 2013 Written by The Nittany Turkey

Matt McGloin is a tough kid from a tough town (Scranton, home of the Pennsylvania division of Dunder-Mifflin Paper Company), and he’s up against some tough obstacles that lie between him and a professional football career. He is also a writer who knows how to express an opinion — strongly.

“My entire life has been defined by the words ‘you’ll never make it’. So hard work isn’t new to me. Some people play football with a ‘chip on their shoulder’ — I live life that way because I have to.”

With respect to the NFL, McGloin wasn’t invited to the Combine. Nevertheless, he is hopeful that he will be drafted. He is realistic about his size, but he shrugs off the suggestion that it’s not worth his while to go for it.

Read his impassioned editorial entitled “Yes, I live (and play) with a chip on my shoulder.” in SB Nation.

    Glad you’re back-thought I would have to make arrangements to attend the viewing.

    Seriously, I always liked this kid. He has the attitude to play in the NFL and if you look at his results from last year, he certainly can run the “Patriots” offense. I think the kid gets drafted late, but will certainly get a shot as a free agent somewhere. I think BoB will get him a shot somewhere-maybe Belichick uses a late pick on Moxie.

      Hey, look. If Doug Flutie can make it in the NFL (although “make it” is somewhat questionable in his case), then so can McGloin. Perhaps someday we’ll see McGloin drop-kicking a field goal for the Pats on his 40th birthday. He just needs a chance and he needs to get the right breaks. O’Brien has the contacts and he believes in the kid, so it’s all plausible.

Whodat Turkey?

The Nittany Turkey is a retired techno-geek who thinks he knows something about Penn State football and everything else in the world. If there's a topic, we have an opinion on it, and you know what "they" say about opinions! Most of what is posted here involves a heavy dose of hip-shooting conjecture, but unlike some other blogs, we don't represent it as fact. Read More…
