Athlete turns down NFL to keep steady paycheck on railroad job - guess his race

[Aerian]

Bottom line is, he isnt in any shape to play...cause he would hop on that chance in a minute if he was....He had no reason to believe after all this time, that his services would be called on, and got out of shape...plain and simple

What are you basing this on?  Remember According to the article, he also takes care of his father and a long term career is defiantly what most would do in the same situation. .  

I am pretty sure had he not had the responsibilities he had, he would have jumped on it, but that simply wasnt the case.

That's not John Henry.

Thats one handsome white man 

Two winning posts in a row.  

This thread had tremendous potential, but at least a few of us get it.

He's basing it on ignorance. He does believe bb's are athletes.

Ah, but does he swing a 9lb hammer?

There will be no lockout.  If there was, then Childress, McDaniels, and Phillips would still have their jobs.

What does firing shit coaches have to do with anything?  Every news story has been saying there is a strong chance of a lockout for months.  I'm sure you have the inside scoop from the league and player's association  though
