Junior Guerra (4-5) gave up Jose Peraza’s second career leadoff homer and Jesse Winker’s two-run shot while We’ve written about Mike Mayock and his tendency to over or under-evaluate potential NFL talent before. He’s been way off in some cases, but at least he’s better than the Todd McShay’s or Mel Kiper’s of the world. Still, unlike many others http://www.brownsauthorizedshops.com/aut...ert-jersey , when Mayock is wrong, he is really wrong. When you have a job on TV like that, the name of the game is hyperbole, something that can be difficult when you’re genuinely good at your job.We’re all guilty of it every now and then, and Mayock is no different. So for this article, we decided to take a look at a few circumstances when Mayock so overhyped a player it makes him look absolutely ridiculous, and leaves you scratching your head. You can bet that time he said Blaine Gabbert would be better than Cam Newton would be on this list, as that might be the biggest draft evaluation mistake in NFL history this side of the Peyton Manning/Ryan Leaf debate. See?Get ready to see other cases of Mayock getting way to high on someone’s gym sock sweat, like with Manti Te’o or Aaron Curry. You remember a guy named Limas Sweed? Well, Mayock probably hopes you don’t.
