Not glamorous if you’re dedicating your life to it and struggling to work your way up, I imagine. I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess it’s not the same hell when it’s your hobby and you’ve already got your overpaid NFL career behind you and your ESPN side gig to fall back on.
Yea, and I also remember "Book it Chicken, we can't lose!!!!" "Don't be a total puzzie, cash in one of those IRA's for your kids, you will thank me later"Oh man, I remember watching that play live...I was jumping up and down like a little kid, going "TEBOW! TEBOW! TEBOW!"
And then next week was the New England game
You and millions of other people
but he was good for 1 play in the NFL
Like I said, he loves to compete. He certainly isn't doing it for the money and really doesn't seem to garner much (positive) attention from it. Riding buses in the minors isn't glamorous, regardless of who you are.
Agreed. I never cared for him while in college, but I have read more about him over the past few years and he seems to be an authentic person. I agree I think this is just about his desire to compete. He is already pretty well established with off-field career opportunities so its not like he is hunting for a career. More than likely, he knows that his years to be an athlete are limited and he is going to give it a go.
Then join a bowling or softball league like everyone else. He’s allowed to take up a minor league roster spot because his name brings publicity, not because of his magical competitive spirit.
But he didn’t. And now he’s past his prime and only going down hill from here. Free up a spot and let someone who didn’t take a decade off have a go.

Okay, that doesn’t really change the point. He’s not a career guy. He’s a 30+ year old in the same place as an early 20 something as far as baseball experience goes. I’m sure he asserts himself as a leader as far as the rah rah stuff goes, but that’s different than the 30+ year old experienced career minor league guy.
