Imagine this, you're a 22 yr old millionaire. You play football for a living, so basically you train, you practice, you rehab, and then once a week you play a game. Not overly hectic but pretty busy life. For some ppl though this just isn't enough to do they have to go give there momma a smacking, or bring a gun into a night club and have it go off for shits and giggles. My personal favourites are the MILLIONAIRES that can't call a cab. Call a fucking limo for all i care but why do these clowns feel the need to get liquored up then say "hey fuck it, i have 5 grand in my wallet but i'm a badass so im driving." But its ok because they regret it when they caught they "learn there lesson" and they definitely won't be getting caught doing that again....this yr.....ok at least during the season.
Point and case lets look at the Detroit Lions roster. Pretty good team, reminds me a bit of the longest yard. White guy playing QB (Stafford), and the rest of the criminal fill in the spots aside from a few exceptions. If the guys aren't criminals they are getting in trouble on the football field. Take Suh or Titus Young. Not getting arrested is a positive but attempting to shit kick your teammate and constantly being fined and suspended probably not good things.
Which brings me to what really drove me to choose this topic. Dez Bryant a WR/KR for the Dallas Cowboys is basically being babysat this yr. Some guys will have an entourage most of them poor influences, but not Dez no he has got himself into enough trouble in his short career that he needs a babysitter. Dez isn't allowed in strip clubs, not allowed to drink among other things. Which really for a professional athlete really shouldn't be hard (the strip club part at least), the guy makes 12 million dollars honestly if your that desperate to have someone get naked in front of you 1)watch porn 2)hire a stripper to come to your house. If they are that dear to your heart you need someone to tell you not to go to them also consider getting a gf.
When you get drafted into the NFL you're expected to be a man, not an 18 yr shit head with too much money. Why teams basically allow this happen is beyond me. Guys are going to continue to drive drunk, start fights, shoot things (including themselves), and do any other idiotic thing you can think of until you either a)release them b)don't fine them 10 grand you fine them a shit load so they cant go out because they have no money. Why is it so hard to expect professional athletes to act like grown ups (plaxico burress).
You ever hear of CFL players going out and starting fights, driving drunk, shooting off guns in public. Ever hear or an AHL player or a minor league ball player doing those things. No partially because no one cares, but mostly because THEY DON'T DO IT. They know if they do those things they won't have a job. NFL this may be the one and only thing you could learn from a different league.
I get i'm dwelling on what really is a minor thing but honestly if you went home one day and gave momma a licking upside the chops you can't tell me 1)your dad would shit kick you 2)the police would be involved if he didn't. This guy is getting off scott free. His punishment is that he has someone around all the time now and he will have to settle for a Dr. Pepper and some porn on a friday night instead of vodka shots and strippers.
I feel i've made my point and if anyone disagrees with this i'm sorry to have to tell you but you are a sheltered sorry excuse of a man/woman.
Again i remind you these are my opinions not meant to offend anyone. Feel free to leave comments whether you like or no like.
