INDIANAPOLIS — So here I am at my first NFL Combine sitting in a room with a bunch of other journalists (almost all of them male , by the way). There seems to be a pattern in my life. Mooooo!
We’re waiting for the first player or coach to come in and subject himself to scrutiny. Mike Singletary of the 49ers is coming first. I should get Aaron Hernandez and Maurkice Pouncey today.
