As Albert and Tim continue to fight about Darren McFadden - or D-Mac as some tragically un-hip young people try to call him in an attempt to be hip - I will fill you in on some other scenes from the Michael Johnson Performance Center: **Cowboys right tackle Marc Colombo and linebacker Akin Ayodele made appearances at the center to talk to the handful of draft prospects about what to expect for the NFL Scouting Combine that begins next week in Indianapolis. Colombo told the players about his trip to Indy and being all geared up to do his weightlifting test only to be wisked away to the hospital for an MRI. Six hours later he returned to the RCA Dome worn down and dog tired. He still lifted but did not do as well as he wanted. "You have to expect the unexpected," said Colombo, who was a first-round pick by Chicago in 2002. **Former Cowboy Tyson Walter was working out at the facility. He finished last season with Green Bay as a reserve. **Former Ranger outfielder Laynce Nix was in attendance. The guy has the build of a middle linebacker. Just ripped. **The facility is state-of-the-art. It has a track, an artificial turf surface, a weight room and small basketball court. The center welcomes athletes of all ages for specialized training. For more info go to www.michaeljohnsonperformance.com.
