Gut check time for sure. Different stakes for sure, but kind of up there with the Falcons.

It must really get to arguably the best pass defender of all time when his guys can't cover anyone.

I was kind of rooting for Deion and Colorado, but now I'm not so sure. Deion and Shedeur are making it easy for people to want to see them fail after these social media battles that are unbecoming of players of their supposed stature.

Deion is talking a lot of smack for the coach a 4-8 team, and Shedeur may be talking himself out of the first round -- if he were ever there to begin with. He's coming across like Johnny Manziel, even though Manziel was a better player in college.

I am totally unsurprised that the Colorado football program is a disaster. Their
games should be on MTV. Sanders has always had a big mouth and a "look
at me" attitude. I haven't looked once and that streak of complete lack of
interest will continue.

Yup, same here.They're thin skinned bullies. We got a lot of them nowadays, and they all seem to love social media, because their bully driven sycophants also love social media.




It's one thing for a grown man to come into a program and force scholarships away from a bunch of teenagers. You can argue that's perhaps part of his job...as slimy as it might be. It's another to follow that young man around and sic your followers/progeny on him when he expresses his frustration at the circumstance that was forced upon him by "the business"...of college football.

Spencer Rattler supposedly fell pretty far in the draft simply because there's lots of footage out there of him acting like a full on *sshole to his high school team-mates.....5 something years ago.

Ultimately talent will decide where you get drafted, but if Shedeur is showing this kind of immaturity in College, I'm not sure how he's going to be perceived as a possible NFL QB.

I plead ignorant on what his talent level may be, and scouts may accept that type of personalities from other positions on the field...but not sure they want it in their QB.

That type of behavior can also get you hurt on the football field, I think. I always think of Jeremy Shockey, after the Giants drafted him as a Tight End. He could be an electric player at his position, but he was sooo unlikable, and chirped at his opponents so much...you could see defensive players loading up on him and trying to hurt him at every opportunity. Late hits, cheap shots, you name it.

Shockey was a tough guy, and he took it in stride and didn't miss a ton of games...but you could tell he was playing hurt for most of his career.

It's one thing being cocky and confident, on and off the field. It's another to be to real d*ckhead all the time.
