A question for AP members

by KC Fanatic on Jul 2, 2009 7:47 AM CDT Comment 11 comments

With the The NFL Rookie Symposium going on, my question is simple. As a representative of NFL fans what would you tell the rookies? I myself have imagined what I would say to these future millionaires/possible role models if I had the chance, but I'm interested in what you would say to them. And to make it interesting let's pretend that they ARE going to listen to you. Think of this as your chance to tell them to act like the Pros they are, or stay out of clubs or wherever you have on your mind.

Don't drink and drive...

Whatever they do on their own time is their own business…but when they get into a car and get on the same streets as me it becomes my business.

I really dont get this more then anything I see coming from athletes/celebrities

They are made of money yet they cant get a driving service to take them home after a night of drinking?

Exactly!

I find myself wishing I had the money for a cab every night I go out. If I was rich, I would have a driving service or a limo on hand for everytime I wanted to drink.

Celebrities seem to do this all the time as well and it makes no sense to me. They don’t drive to buy their own food or groceries, yet drive to the club to get wasted and drive home!?

Never made any sense to me

It is a new Era at Arrowhead. I do not yet know if it is one of greatness or one of ineptitude. I am excited to see which way it goes, and will support my team until the end, bitter or sweet!

good idea

the league does have an agreement with taxi services, but players worry about confidentiality, especially when it comes to upcoming contract agreements and such. They would rather take the chance that they won’t get caught than be pretty sure that the press would run with irresponsible drinking.

Take a lesson from Travis Henry and wrap it up.

I would actively parade every NFL tragedy in front of them

Every guy that had it made and screwed up his own opportunity

Every guy that had it made and was tragically injured through no fault of his own.

Every retired player who is now a cripple.

Earl Campell, every offensive lineman from the Redskins 1980’s superbowl teams, Byrd, Bernie Kosar (just declared bankruptcy) etc etc etc……..

Physically bring these guys in and show them how precarious their opportunity is and how quickly it can change. Kind of like scared straight, only for adults.

Simple message, save your money, make good decisions, appreciate it while it lasts because it won’t.

I would have Maurice Clarett speak

His message would be simple. “Do the exact opposite of everything I have ever done”
