Random Musings
Rick "Doc" Walker's verbal dexterity and semantic genius are well-documented.  His
significant gifts were once again on full display during Raycom's telecast of last Saturday's
Virginia - Georgia Tech game, during which Doc summed up Nate Collins' recent string of
strong performances by breathlessly comparing him to...a unicorn.

Now, I fully admit that I'm not qualified to tell Doc his business. Unlike Doc, I didn't play in the
NFL, nor am I a trained medical professional.  However, I respectfully submit that the unicoron
comparison was a rare misstep for Captain Hyperbole, as it failed to convey just how dominant
Collins has been of late. If you don't believe me, here's the tale of the tape:

Elusiveness

way to capture a unicorn was
for a virgin to wait alone in a

up and lay its head in her lap, at
which point it would be captured
by hunters hiding nearby.
