what a stupid ass thread. shocking. :roll:
you know how hard dudes work to be college athletes? you know...for the griz? or cats? or anywhere else? they bust their asses. and i don't care if they are four year starters or if they worked day and night to simply wear a jersey on the sidelines.....they are college athletes. and i don't care if they played for um which no one knows about....or the university of alabama.....they still worked their asses off to even have the opportunity to wear a jersey and suit up on saturdays. the same goes for dudes that sniff the nfl. are you effing kidding me?! tens of thousands of guys play college football, and a few hundred get an opportunity to play at the next level. the second you receive a call from an nfl franchise, and you wear their jersey against other nfl competition....you are IN the nfl. some are better than others. some have longer careers. but all are in a fraternity untouched by 99% of the population. cat...griz....anyone else....i don't give a shit. you make it that far, you have my respect.
my guess is that if this was your son....and he got a "participation trophy" for making an nfl squad...you wouldn't be talking this way to your buddies. you'd be proud and say your son was an nfl player. and you'd be right. maybe only for a few weeks because these guys are really good....but still a player.
please open your eyes, and talk about these people like you would your own son or daughter.
what a joke.
