Most of these guys go to college for 4 years at least & when they get drafted by a team have to be very smart in order to remember the schemes weather it be offensive or defensive & yet their common sense in these certain situations out side of football are ridiculous I don't get it !! 

 

Lmao lots of these guys are barely literate.

Well there are exceptions to every rule but Leodis didn't get in any trouble so then there's that ...

Well IMHO that's a crock but in today's world the all mighty dollar is what it all comes down to isn't it ? Sad but I guess that's what the world has turned into .

 

The world has always been this way.  The desire to get to wealth and power has been all apart of human history.

I have read stories of recruiting visits where some of these guys come from poor poor areas.  Not city poor, middle of no where poor.

Dirt floors, outhouses.  This was the 90's so not sure if it's still that prevalent.  
These kids needed to start working early on and school came second or not at all.

I too have read of poverty.  Tales of clipping coupons to buy groceries and growing up in cul de sacs, it really tugs on the heart strings.

Did you know 30% of the world eats insects as a regular part of their diets?  I have only eaten them by accident.

I did know that.  Did you know I have consumed insects both as food and as an accident?

Did it satisfy your palate?

 

I'm not an adventurous eater.  Most exotic thing I've eaten was gator.

Ants and ant eggs were enjoyable.  Crickets and scorpion are crunchy but only as good as the seasoning they are coated with.

So you could use that seasoning on regular meat?

Yes, it could be used on meat, or veggies, or anything that you want to taste like what that seasoning tastes like.

I use the Kinder products for grilling and smoking.

 

Do you think they'd be better for ants or crickets?

Turned into?  If you were good enough to play in the NFL, most didn't stick around for 4 years of college.  Thats been true since OJ.

Maybe to you but I remember years ago when the people were much more respectable & there were those that when given the chance to go to college cherished it & used the education to further them selves .

 

Sure there may have been those that didn't but I'd say especially the HOF Buffalo Bills sure did appreciate their schooling a lot more than the person we are referring to in this post .

 

If you think the world is exactly the same as it was 60 + years ago I'm sorry for you because the world I grew up in back then people were much different & things have definitely changed but to each their own ...

 

I guess we will just have to agree to disagree .

College doesn't automatically mean "smart".

Very True ! I've always thought that hands on experience will out do book learned every time !! But maybe that's just me !!

Some are some aren't but IMHO I would hope that they would be good enough people to appreciate the fact that they are blessed enough to get a education & take advantage of it while they are there but not all are especially in todays world !!

If you think hands on experience will outdo “book learning” every time…put that theory to the test.

 

go schedule a surgery with a non educated surgeon or dentist.  Then get back to us.

Yeah, because no college educated doctor gets any hands-on experience in school…Christ, they practically live in clinics.

 

Poor example, brother.

What do they do before the hands on element?

Many football players basically have their schooling done for them.
