Is Tyler Bray "Paid to Win Football Games" or a Lunkhead? (video)

Freudian slip perhaps?

University of Tennesse QB Tyler Bray made a bunch of Sports People's heads spin at Tuesday mornings media availability.

The reason: He was asked during the session if he like the NFL prospects of a couple teammates he said, that's up to you guys, he followed it by saying "I'm paid to win football games".

No, really, he said it.

Uh, it may very well have been a slip , he followed it by saying "I mean, my education. That's what the SEC likes to call getting paid". Huh? We're reasonably certain he didn't mean what he said, but it was just kind of interesting that he did.

Bray isn't the brightest light on the college football landscape--something he's already proven more than once. But he is a very talented football player on a somewhat mediocre football team.

And to quote the great Ricky Ricardo--now he's "Got some splainin' to do"....

Here's the interview from the school their ownselves: (It's at the 4:27 mark)
