exactly when do these “student” athletes quit being children and then become available to critique?

since most of them are old enough to drink, vote and go to war and die for their country i would think that some mild criticism of their playing ability wouldn’t be that big of a deal. i wonder if these children who go off to the marines instead of college ever get critiqued by marine drill sergeants, don’t those mean guys realize that these are just little children?

i would think that it would hurt these little children’s feelings worse if they were told they were something like our favorite gunnery sergeant might have told them, that they were unorganized grabastic pieces of amphibian shit, rather than just inferring they were a bit soft.

so when do they become available for criticism? is it when they go to pro mini camps? when they sign an agent? when they cash their first check? is it the minute they get drafted? i wish gundy would let everyone know so they can follow his rules.

in his thought process, which is apparently the same as a rhesus monkey, these players are children and can’t take criticism say on january 1st but then are adults and old enough to take it on january 2nd? brilliant. the only thing gundy didn’t do is to take his feces and throw it at the reporters.

someone needs to remind this primate that these are division 1, big time college football athletes who play before hundreds of thousands of people as well on national television. these aren’t 8 year olds playing in little league.

well, end of rant, im off to go visit other threads and critique some other college athletes, i mean children…

I would pay real money for Cleve Bryant to go after Suzanne Halliburton like this.

Scipio, it’s one thing to shine a light on the 4th Estate. It’s another to come off as the reincarnation from Sam Kinison in Back to School.

No kidding. From reading Dennis Dodd’s article on sportsline yesterday about this funny little debacle, you’d think he was a Rider of Rohan rallying neighboring tribes to save Helm’s Deep.

It is amusing to me how the fourth estate rallies around itself when you dare to shine the spotlight on them a little. There are a bunch of journos rallying around her right now.

“Come after me. I’m a man! I’m 40!”

He sounds exactly like Ricky Bobby here.

That was great, nicely set off by the slow clap at the end.

Hysterical.
