NoSaint Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 http://www.si.com/nfl/2015/06/30/anthony-hargrove-bountygate-new-orleans-saints SI did a little bio on Hargrove. Hits the NFL a bit on its investigative and disciplinary policies too. Interesting read. Guy has had a rough life. Admittedly a lot was his own choices but hard not to feel for him a bit.

hondo in seattle Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 The guy flashed talent with the Bills and I was disappointed he couldn't get his act together. Sad article. A lot of his wounds are self-inflicted but not all. Wish him the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 He has learned that like other careers that companies (teams) will take a chance when you are younger but when you get older companies (teams) will not take the same chances any more. The minimum veteran salary is a factor and his best chance is to stay in shape and attempt to get job as post-game 1 replacement player where salary is not guaranteed but it is tough to do so when you are not working enough to afford the gyms and massive amount of food NFL players need and you have wasted most of the money earned early in career. Best of luck to him but he will need to make some of the luck himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God forbid he went to Green Bay... Hmm. dont care for him much ? or just dont buy his story? forty gets cold after a couple hours out in the wind if you dont have the right clothing I dont think he plays the victim card really and he admits his screw ups. i think the article shows some insight into a players life. just one but still. kids that come up from nothing or worse , envision football as a goal. pursue it so strongly and then make it, just amaze me. the story about his Mom and his grades and then her passing and finding out the real reason . yep. thats a bit too much weight for a kid to carry. one of his key statements how he stayed the path even though it could be so easy to jump back in a flushing toilet that was his life at times with drugs and such. sure he is done with football. I wish him strength Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
