Quick Story About Marcus Nash

Marcus Nash (who just hauled in a Clint Dolezel pass to tie things up at 7) was on his way to becoming one of the biggest wastes of talent in he history of pro football.

He had two Super Bowl rings as a backup in two NFL seasons, from teams that no longer wanted him.

I was at a New Jersey Gladiators back in tryout camp back in February 2002. An agent there told me Nash had tried out at a multi-team scouting combine a few weeks earlier, and that he was sent home. Apparently he thought he was too good for the Arena Football League and just went through the motions, was out of shape, and was just flat-out horrible.

He got into the league the next season with the Detroit Fury, and he's been a star in the league ever sense.

And needless to say the Desperados are lucky he's been activated from the injured list for today's game.
