So let me get this straight...A number of Texans are voicing their outrage about the current state of politics and are petitioning to secede from the Union. But then, people are reaching out to President Obama to intervene in their football mess in Dallas. Hmmmm. Only in Texas.
It's like that everywhere. I just had a super high end mountain bike stolen off of the top of my car in a very public parking lot. Security guards driving around all day and night. Cameras everywhere. Security and Local PD can't be bothered to do their jobs.
The media is always trying to get a soundbite that will cause controversy. Right on Julius. Rise above all that. Media should stick with people like Cromartie if they need to get their fix for somebody shooting off their mouth.
Does Bush think he has contributed enough to the Saints cause to warrant an $11 mil payday? He is a good player, not a great player. Instead of pouting like a little girl, and tweeting about it, he should work to show that he is worth that kind of $. Boo hoo.
Sadly, no matter what the real story is, Cutler's reputation for being a selfish diva will precede any accurate info on his injury. He has shown himself to arrogant and self serving, so football fans already have their minds made up about him.
Elite QBs are guys who lead their team to titles. They are team and, possibly, community leaders. They are not headcase, whiny egomaniacs. In VY reasoning, Ryan Leaf was an elite QB too.
The shelf life of a running back in the NFL isn't very long. Owners, coaches, and executives will squeeze all the yards and tds they can out of a kid and then cast him aside. That has to be a pretty hard blow to a kid's ego, who has been treated like a star his whole life. The reality of the NFL business hits people pretty hard sometimes, and everybody reacts different in times of stress.
Buh Bye Manny. Go suck some other team dry with your lazy "me first" attitude. It would be a shame to let Blake go. He is a contributor. Typical L.A. The press knows about this stuff before the players do. Mr. and Mrs McCourt, you both suck and are hurting the Dodgers.
Now that he has the big contract with all of that guaranteed money, I think we will see him start to take the game of football about as seriously as ManRam takes the game of baseball.
Buh bye Manny. What a waste of hitting talent on such a childish self serving athlete. Whoever signs him should sign a one year minimum salary contract with incentives, so when he loses interest in playing there, they wont be hemoraging money for a player that only cares about himself.
By the way. My book is for sale at your local bookstore right now.
