But let me ask you....you are going into your first day at a new job in a new city for a position of dire need.
What excuses coming into camp overweight and out of shape if it is not work ethic? Many players go to special camps BEFORE they show up to camp in order to be in the best possible shape.
People with a strong work ethic in a physical sport report in shape and ready to produce. People would take the time instead to play video games in 14 hour stretches, probably are not as motivated.
Your pet peeve is noted and if he was injured, it would make sense. But if he was healthy and he reported in the shape being discussed - that is a work ethic issue. People committed to the game shouldn't let themselves get that far out of shape.
Again you don't know that he was out of shape. I've not seen any reports from the Seahawks or the player saying he was out of shape. He had extra pounds but a lot of guys take off weight to get a good 40 time then put on weight to deal with the rigors of NFL. You don't know whether his motivation was that or he just likes sitting around eating Doritos.
It's just generally gossip-mongering to make such strongly biased inferences from minimal information. If you are going to make strongly negative statements about a human being, quote your sources and back it up with first hand information. Otherwise its hearsay and slander.
