I know some get all giddy over people who choose another over us, but ****, imagine being this young man. He could've gone anywhere basically and now he's gonna be just about off the map.
Maybe it's the middle age in me, but I remember all hopes and dreams of youth. Some became a reality and others never did. I didn't struggle like he is or many others, but I had to find my path in life. I've had a great time of it, but it didn't live up to my dreams until I became a parent. I didn't know I could find something I loved like that so much and being the best dad I can possibly be is the richest reward I'll ever receive.
Life has lessons. Some learn them faster than others. I take no joy in watching anyone fail anymore. Surely not some fellow human being who's just trying to play a game and get somewhere in life.
Hope he gets a degree, goes pro in some field other than football, and realizes whatever potential he has. No clue why he's bouncing around, but put work in the classroom, and figure it out from there.
