Can someone please explain to me how Avery is a "Sports Related Flop?" (see Categories)...It's not like the guy was the first, overall pick in the NFL draft (if anything, he should be in a category called "Miami's dumbest draft picks" as his small size should have clued the Dolphins in on the fact that Avery probably couldn't withstand the punishment from a full season in the NFL), plus, he's had a pretty decent career in the CFL (where running backs that are deemed "undersized" from an NFL standpoint, seem perfectly suited for the Canadian game). Injuries seem to have been his "downfall," but it's not like he's out of football (yet) (although Ricky Williams has displaced him in Toronto this year...stay tuned!). Comments are appreciated.
