There's nothing deserved about this. I wish him all the best, including a ring.
But facts are facts. This is a violent sport. You're shooting your limbs at other bodies at a high speed and you're having other bodies thrown toward your limbs constantly. The run-up to this football thing is pretty long and important when it comes to getting your brain and body ready for the sheer violence of the sport. Even if you've been doing this a long time, you still have to have a good run-up to get ready for this thing. Jason Taylor skipped the entire run-up period, yeah he was doing some strength training but mostly cardio and no practicing, no impact stuff.
It's not deserved, but it's also not that surprising. Ricky Williams has been doing this football thing for a long time, but when he rushed back too early last year without hardly any run-up to get into football shape, he got hurt within a handful of plays...even though I'm quite positive that Ricky Williams' own private training regimen of cardio and strength probably rivals the dancing activities Jason participated in.
Pretty solid post CK. I agree. Only not the part about hoping JT gets a ring. He dosent play for us. The phins are the only team I hope ever gets rings.....EVERY YEAR!!!
