Sounds like Cornelius Washington is sporting a punkitude. He'll be gone soon. You know what? He's right. I DON'T care about him outside of football . . . anymore than he cares about ME. If any of those guys gets a pro contract, they aren't donating any of the money to me. And, they got a FREE ride to an EXPENSIVE university, and many won't even graduate, because they'll "turn pro early". Why SHOULD I care about him outside of football?
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad there are guys like fire_dawg who cares about these kids outside of football. That is genuinely ADMIRABLE. However, I don't care about rock 'n roll stars outside of their music, actors outside of movies, or athletes outside of their sports. And you know what? None of them cares about me, outside of me paying (in one way or another) to enjoy their wares.
This punk is copping out. "I came up on the mean streets, and you just don't understand." Understand WHAT? How much FUN it is? Because it MUST have been fun, if you have as much potential as these thugs and you are STILL willing to throw it away smoking weed, or gang bangin', or slapping your girl around. If it was so TOUGH on those mean streets, wouldn't you be RUNNING to get away from it? Would you REALLY go to a bar until 3:00 in the morning on a Thursday morning, with a 9 mm semi-automatic under the seat, with the serial number filed off? Why file off a serial number, Cornelius? Just because you grew up in a tough neighborhood? Save that for the fools who buy that crap.
I have a new UN-favorite Bulldog. CW, I despise YOU and everything YOU stand for, PUNK!
