Imma go on a lil rant real quick
Quote:
The more I sit back and observe everything that has to do with the NFL the more I realize it’s just an entertainment business.
Quote:
I was so caught up in trying to make football at this level purely football. But when I look around me, it’s nothing, NOTHING but a business
Quote:
Understandably so. But I want to inform you, the fans. Don’t be sucked in to ESPN, NFL Network and all these money making media outlets.
Quote:
Their singular purpose is to entertain you. Make you think something is important when it really isn’t. It’s not for news, it’s for ratings.
Quote:
They want you to be sucked into their opinions. Why? That pushes their brand and eventually makes them money at some level.
Quote:
I’m asking you, the fans, to be informed. Do your own thinking. They will say a guy is too short to play QB… he’ll win a SuperBowl.
Quote:
They will say he’s too small to play linebacker. He’ll make an interception for a touchdown in this biggest stage the game has to offer.
Quote:
They will say he is too tall to play corner, not quick enough, not smart enough… and become the best corner in the game.
Quote:
They will say he can’t because of this, he can’t because of that… and they will continue to be wrong… Why? Because they are human.
Quote:
They want to look at the 40. The shuttle. They broad jump. The vertical jump. All of these measurables. But they will continue to miss. Why?
Quote:
Because you can not measure the Heart, Passion and Relentlessness to be great that someone has deep down in their soul.
Quote:
So while these pundits and so-called expert analyst fill the air with their irrelevant jargon, realize they are talking about PEOPLE.
Quote:
Realize these people are not just items to be shown off at the combine to be auctioned off to the highest bidder. Didn’t think about that….
Quote:
Because at the end of the day, the players are all expendable. The only thing that matters to the NFL is the brand of NFL.
Quote:
So don’t get mad when players are deemed ‘selfish’ or ‘not about the team.’ They wouldn’t be at this level if that was the case.
Quote:
In a business that is geared to protecting itself, how could you blame the players who put their bodies on the line for doing the same?
Quote:
Just remember that. 100.
Quote:
Now time for breakfast. Lol
