I get the feeling he may be trying to soften the blow of us losing a few guys. He knows, or at least has a better idea than we do, of what's ahead. Just my opinion.

His rant is directed at the combine coverage. Don't make too much of it.

He's basically saying that the NFL, ESPN, etc. are all tied together as a giant conglomerate that makes its money on tearing down various athletic traits of 21 year old kids. These kids are viewed in the media as commodities, not people, as soon as they enter the league, so how can you blast a guy as being selfish based on what the media says? Everything they say is merely jargon used to enhance and sell a product.

^athletes are some of the most self entitled people in the world. Don't want to be scouted? Don't play sports in hs. Don't want to be a product and scouted more? Use that FREE college education and get a normal job. Don't want to be under the microscope of all those things? Don't get rich playing football. It's called wanting your cake and eating it too.


Feel so extremely sorry for you Doug, you're life must be a complete let down now that you know that the business side is what's allowing you to play a game for a living. God help him get through this tough time in his life. Imagine waking up and realizing how insignificant you really are, wow, playing football such honor.You would think he just got back from a tour in the middle east, not winning a superbowl. He is like sherman trying to come up with all this profound stuff to say, unfortunately he's not nearly as smart.

I hope he cries himself to sleep tonight.

You guys should really try read and understand his commentary before you bash him for it.

He's not bashing the idea of scouting. He's saying the combine is a circus that's put on primarily for entertainment purposes. The measurables that come out of it only tell a small part of the story. I think even most GMs would agree with this. I believe JS even said yesterday that the player interviews were more important than their combine performance.

Feel sorry for a world class athlete, who has the guts to put out his opinion? As opposed to someone who is putting out his opinion on a message board? Jealous much?

Everything he bashed is essentially what pays his bills. It's not A matter of him being wrong, but it's just ignorant really. He doesn't like the media cause they clown him, he didn't specifically say that but that's what a lot of it comes down to, dudes just a cry baby. I'm glad he's on our team and all but I'm just being 100.

Well if you don't like him, go become Ninerbrah


Good Lord are you being serious?Lol. Oh I'm sorry I stopped worshipping athletes when I was 12. I don't have to agree with everything someone does to be a fan of theirs, that's one of the few parts of this site that is way weird tbh. If I'm not homer enough for you than I'm sorry. But I've been a blazer/mariner/seahawk fan since birth so I'm good.

We're a team full of crybabies then. Sherman, Kam, RW, Malcolm, even ET, Kearse, Tate...these guys should all just shut up and enjoy cashing their checks while they can /sarcasm

The fact that someone gets bent out of shape about an athlete with an opinion etc. is laughable.


The fact that you've talked about me is 3 or 4 posts because I have an opinion on a football board is laughable.
