I think in many players cases it's too rich too soon. There's kids coming from lower middle class, or poor backgrounds, being given so much acclaim, and having money, women, and drugs thrown at them, what would any kid do? Their managers, agents, family ,etc., are just along for the ride to make money, damn the athlete. So the attitude develops, f-the coach, I made it, everyone can kiss my ass because I'm a millionaire. The NFL has a bad image problem, not as bad as the NBA in recent years, but getting worse.

Why can't you write a feature on this and explain how the avg weight went up for NFL players and the speed and strength of each went sky high. But it's all natural right?

The steroid use just isn't as bad as some of the other drama you hear about in that league. It kind of gets a pass for that I guess. Not that I agree with that... IMO, too many criminals in the NFL.

If anything, it will take away his motivation to play a good game and he'll just kind of disappear like he tends to do when things don't go his way. Now it might be different today because its his former team, but generally it doesn't work with him. You can't discipline/motivate him the traditional way.
