i understand your point but you must realize the tradition and tone of the purest of NFL players who have retired.
they all have had major surgeries and scare tissue tears and arthritis and permanant pains in joints and it doesn't matter when you are playing. you worry about now
the best die hards don't worry about the future they live for the passion of the game.
..Gadsden is thankful he even plays in the NFL.. thankful to be given a chance coming from the arena league.
he was never drafted never scouted out by pro teams the way most guys come into the NFL.. he never signed a big rookie contract. he was never spoiled...
He is a die hard , lay my body out over the middle and make that impossible catch, waiting to be hammered by DB's.....player.
I will personally be STUNNED if Gadsden sits on the couch for 3 months watching his teamates on the battle field..... these guys don't take this game like it is a job...... The Zach's and Taylor's and Feidlers and GADSDENs are pure warriors...did you miss sunday nights game. gasden played with the injury .. feidler played with the injury.......HOW??? because their adrenalin is so sky high the injury is blocked out of their nervous system and the swelling hasn't started cause blood is flowing through the injury like crazy.
mcknight is not this tough...... randy moss is not.....
This is the most physical , most brutal , most high impact sport on planet earth and these are some of the most gifted , fastest physical specimens on the planet......collisions of great magnitude exist.
Gadsden can't sit on the couch and watch for 3 months when he has a chance to be part
OF SOMETHING GREAT....
he was their on the battle field sunday night in the enemies den and they came out victorious though bloodied and battered. And they won the hearts of every fan, coach, player and writer in the NFL community......
These guys are heroes right now....... Gadsden is figuring out how to play no matter what the risks are... He is BLOCKING the contract nonsense and the further injury concern..
Can't you read between the lines???????.....
THIS IS MY DECISION he has said......... if it were someone elses they would say man you have to come back to base camp..
He is like F%ck it i want to go back to the front line with my team..
no orande i really think you should come back to base camp and watch your brothers get bloodied and shaken and injured while you sit here on the coach......
wake up people....... some of these veterans think they are at WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
