paulitik 15,177 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I hear baseball players are stupider. I have an Oxford educated buddy who played a little minor league, very briefly, he said the ignorance of the players killed the love of the game for him. He was a QB in high school and always said his football teammates were like astrophysicists compared to the minor leaguers he knew. Maybe it's the longer season that keeps the baseball players from getting arrested as much.At least football players can use the helmet to helmet contact as an excuse.Hey I'm not a junior anymore!

sogafan 1 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES.In my job I come in contact with the full spectrum of people, so trust me when I say this. STUPID comes in all shapes, sizes, sexes, races, religions, national origins and regions. STUPID is an equal opportunity affliction. I'm not passing judgment on them, but calling them as I see them. That said, I still treat each and every one of them how I wish to be treated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mastershake 246 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Yeah, these guys spend their whole life working towards a goal and when they finally achieve it they screw up. I think the NFL is doing the right thing by trying to educate the rookies but they need to do more. Maybe they could get some kind of relief in college so they are not so money starved when they get to the pros. I mean these guys make the NCAA billions and the players have to scrape just to get by. So when they get these contracts it's like winning the lotto to them. There is still no excuse for the violence. They have to realize that they are accountable for their actions and that they are not special in the eyes of the law.financial education should be mandatory,I mean a car is the worst investment there is and they go out and buy 10 of them just to look cool. It isn't very cool when you made millions and within 5 years your broke. Well at least you got on MTV's Cribbs. Hopefully with all these arrests lately these players will realize it can all be gone in a flash and they could be living in their mama's house that he bought her. Just my thoughts, I don't know s*** anyway.13 days I think time is actually goin backwards.lets get it on already!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
E. T. 5,741 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Its all about doing the right thing! These players are in the spotlight now and now need to be more responsible and respectable. Believe it or not, they are also roll models for alot of people out there.I mean really!.....how hard is it to do the right thing!! If you know its wrong and or illegal....then dont do it!!!!Respect yourselves, respect your surroundings, respect LIFE! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1968again 1 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Did TD draft the 10 Pats arrested in the last 6 years? did he draft the dude who was wearing a wire for the feds? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LET'S START IN THE HOUSES OF OUR MINDS. your exactly nright in that everyone makes mistakes. some make more critical mistakes than others. the isue is that the media mainly wants stories that they can sell and make a buck on. so who better to use than those people that are already in the spotlight whether it be singers, movie stars, atheletes, etc.the more wealthier one is the better the sale for the media Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bring It 3,049 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 OK, but try to remember..............there are over 2000 guys in the NFL presently; 1700 when they get down to 53 man rosters. The number of screwballs........felons..........losers, is relatively low, 20 to 30, so overall it's a group of pretty decent guys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JC Falcon 1,928 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I wonder how many other 1800 person companies that pay 6-7 figure salaries to all those employees would stand up to repeated mandatory random drug screening throughout employment and then have to be put in the spotlight for what those employees do away from 'the company.'

Including the cheerleaders...:hehe::DThey've been dumbed and doped down to question some of the perks and respect they been given until they've become professionals, and cannot get-away with it anymore.Women are easy early, but difficult to get rid late without paying money (divorce, hush money). Their main woman wives better understand that in these tight economic times that more women scammers, groupies, and whores will be after them.Some athletes just deal with high-end prositutes..At every level, they do understand that people build them up in order to get something from them later: High School Coach, girl, friends, etc.. It repeats in college. The Pros its happening too, until it makes more money for a TV station to report their faults.It profits the media to report instead of covering-up, or ignoring the incidents in the past.The Media knows that the common worker loves to hear about these guys wasting-away their carreers.Just like ancient Greece and Rome, gladiators/athletes take the ills of the nation away.In the US.. It's like friendly battle between cities for national supremacy (something that won't happen elsewhere). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
