Another Keith Eloi jump

mredskins · 07-24-2009, 02:16 PM

I seriously should film myself trying to do this. I am 5 10 190 pound white guy. I would be so impressed with myself if I got my butt checks to even touch the edge of the pool before I fell back in.

I think I might break my back. Humiliate myself as well. The pickup thing was even better imo.

I couldn't jump out of the pool flat-footed even if it was empty.

Now we just need to install pools in both end zones. I got drunk and feel out of my daughters wadding pool does that count?

mredskins · 07-24-2009, 03:47 PM

do you get points for jumping in? I can do that!

I'm sorry, but I had to read that twice before I realized there was a typo. Thought we had a sicko on our hands.

I agree about the pools in the enzone though.. LMAO.

Honestly, though, I really have a hard time with any professional athlete performing these kinds of acts, especially so close to training camp and the season. It would be so easy to slip on that deck when landing, or catching a toe on a bumper when jumping into a truck; if they want to take risk in getting injured, save it for the field. Next thing you know, we are going to have players riding around on their motorcycles without helmets. Oh wait...

You guys havn't jumped out of a pool before?

JK.LOL.
I think the guy who did it prior to the draft was impressive. He was a lineman I think. All of 6' something and well over 200lbs. but if you think about it they are 6' tall players which means the water must stop halfway up their thighs. I know it's still a feet in itself to get all that weight atleast 3' off the ground along with having water as resistance.

Eloi's most impressive video was him jumping straight up and over the tail gate of a PU and landing in the bed of the truck. That seems a little harder....especially in flip flops.

idiotic move....the guys dream is right around the corner to get a large payday....and he puts his only asset..his body at significant risk....his agent...if he has one...is probably barfing.

Jumping out of a pool is a significant risk?

Your kids assrape people in the pool?

I think it's genius on his part, its the best chance for a guy in his position to get a second look from the coaching staff. The extra attention might help him also get more reps in preseason and end up increasing his chances of making the team.

He should just join the circus so that all of you can salavate over his tremendous jumping ability. Personally, I am going to be watching football instead.

What's the matter? Are you angry or something?
