![]() Go a head, keep letting a business make your lifestyle choices for you. A lifestyle choice that has no bearing on you personally or professionally. That is exactly what a slave mentality is. Controlled behavior in hopes to further advance a status with the house. |

![]() It's about priorities. I choose to make quite a bit of money, feed my family, and be a professional, productive member of society. In return, I WILLINGLY gave up my ability to get high. I'm not a slave. And if you're forgoing a chance at working a better job and making more money just because you don't want to have to piss in a cup, it's you that's the slave. Take stock in your choices, dude. |

Wasted talent. Guy could have been one of the most dominant WRs in the game.
Hopefully he can get his life priorities figured out someday and become a better human. But his pro football career is probably over.

Here's a question I don't know the answer to:
Since the day he was drafted, how many months have he been active for an NFL team versus how many months has he been on the suspension list? I bet it's a close race.

Well your question includes offseason and other downtime so a little harder to figure. But I did see somewhere last night that he's started like 55 games and missed 35 or so due to suspension.

And maybe that #1 life priority from the start should have been to leave football behind. He got stuck in the trap that just because you have a gift you're obligated to use it.

Use it as a means to an end. Maybe he was ready to move on?

Nah, he did the right thing. He took those fools in the NFL for millions of dollars while still not quitting smoking. Win/win for him.....he just didn't win as much as he COULD have, but he still won plenty.

He will probably look back on it like that one day. But for now it's clearly an enabler. Seems like Ricky Williams is living a minimalist lifestyle and seems happier than ever. Gordon made a ton of money and fame but it doesn't seem like he wants any of that let alone for a game he hates. He needs to be out of the spotlight and live a life where he can get "alternative therapy" in a way that does minimal harm to him. He needs to go the Ricky route.

Your comment about "slave mentality" is still one of the most ridiculous things I've read here and I've been here since day 1. |
