Just because we are fans of football, and many would give anything to run around the field with god-like abilities to 80,000 screaming fans... a lot of these guys don't give a shit... honestly.
You wish you could play in the NFL until you take an NFL type hit.
I played college football and know what it feels like. How would you like to run around with 280 pound NFL defensive ends that run 4.5's and are as fast as receivers chasing you down? The answer, not very long.
So don't assume these guys will give it their all, give it 100%. At the end of the day they make millions either way. Ohhhh my leg hurts, I'm not playing. Ohhh, I have turf toe, I'm not playing. Ever seen these guys that are always on IR, and yet a guy like Favre could literally start every game 17 years in a row? He's been hurt but he mans through it.
I was surprised to hear Adam Dunn ( baseball player) admit that on the radio. They said he said he doesn't even like baseball, he's just good at it and can make a lot of money doing it. I know some guys love playing the game of football ( Ray Lewis), but do you think Jemarcus Russell gives a shit? Do you think after he signed that 100 million dollar contract he even opened up his play book once?
