A great 3 page article about Russell, Quinn and the draft. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/peter_king/02/27/combine0305/index.html
Well looks like those comments that he doesnt love football, started a fire under is ass. I love how is Uncle pushes his buttons to get extra motivated.
I really cant believe how they question his love for football. As a young kid, he used to make a wish list every year, and always on top of that list was going to watch the Senior bowl. He's been dreaming about playing football since he was a kid!!! And btw I cant believe Quinn-Gay actually told Russell your eyes are pretty!! Seriously WTF is wrong with this guy!!!
You might be surprised, though, about the love for football issue. Those of us who are enormous football fans can't imagine it, but it's there sometimes. Merton Hanks, who works for NFL in New York (he'll be handing out the caps and jerseys to the guys at the draft/but gives out fines on uniform compliance during the season) is a friend of my husband's. He played for the 49ers for 10 years, but when he was a player, he told me he didn't really like playing football. I was kind of floored by that statement because I love football--and because football made him very rich. But it's definitely out there. Many people don't love their jobs. When a guy is a pro, it's his job.
hanks is the guy with the long neck and the most obnoxious celebration dance of all time. no offense, but as a saints fan i remember that kinda thing. i'm sure he's a good guy. :thumb:
That celebration dance was Deion Sanders' influence on him, and it did make him more money because people started knowing who he was. Deion told him a DB had to make himself known. Of course, he loves being the center of attention everywhere he goes, too.
Intimidation! That's his problem. He whopped him like a trash dog and Brady still has Post Traumatic Stress.
i mean i like making fun of quinn and all just for sport but this is really weak, ignoring jamarcus because of his insecurities. cmon what is he, 12? and politicking for the #1 pick is even more weak. only eli and elway top that one. dude is a mental mess it seems for being so smart and polished. as far as not loving football, see no other than barry sanders. i remember early in his career he was a couple of yards from breaking the rushing record in the final game. they were winning by a lot so he was taken out i think and i guess it was wayne fontes who went to put him back in mid 4th qtr and he declined. never went back in. he just really didnt care one way or another about numbers. most players lie and say they dont. he really didnt. and of course pulled a jim brown and quit in his prime simply because he had to mow the lawn or something. pretty unfathomable for us fans.
Domer opinions on the same article. I didn't know if I should scratch my head or laugh my butt off, so I did both. Do you think they have forgotten what happened in the Sugarbowl already? I guess this proves the theory of evolution. Notre Dame fans have adapted to perpetual loss and found a way to adjust... http://mb17.scout.com/fnotredamefrm1.showMessage?topicID=16674.topic
