Worilds retires!!! Whaaaaat??

[K Train]

yeah.. he didn't have a monster year in Haley's first season = giving up.

He was also pissy about the tender he received fwiw

sounds human to me...

It's not like Ben bought in completely during Haley's first year.

We need to stop acting like these players can't be upset about the business of the NFL.

I wasnt saying that, i dont think he quit at all...he played fine, it was clear he wanted a pay day and he got it even though the phins really regret it now

I agree.. I thought you were saying it impacted his play

Worilds is punking out. How goddam hard is it to work religion and play football at the same time? The league has always had guys multi-tasking it: Tebow, Warner, Steve Young, Abdullah, Rashad, Boldin, Lewis, Detmer. I've even seen Polamalu cross himself on a play before the whistle blew. I swear.

[Captain Lemming]

is he going to knock on doors now?

I'm joking.... but not really.

Its what I do Dizz.
I share his faith, never knew it before now.

Call it what you want Moonie.
Some people want to devote more "time" devoting their lives to serving God. Retiring affords him time he would not have as an active player. It is not for everybody. Others might not choose it. But Time is finite my friend.

Jesus put down his carpenters hammer to devote his life to his ministry. His apostles abandoned fishing nets to join his ministry. If Jason chooses in his own way to imitate those examples.......it ain't punking out.

Id have to agree, his mind is just elsewhere.

Punking out? It's very easy for someone on a message board to say that...having never been through a training camp nor started in the NFL...let alone for five years...

[BradshawsHairdresser]

Worilds had fulfilled the obligations of his contract...he didn't leave owing anyone anything. He made more money in 5 years than most of us will make in a lifetime. He walks away from the game in (I think) good physical shape, hopefully avoiding the damage to body and mind that some NFL players suffer from for the rest of their lives. Good for him. It's probably a really smart move.

My heart bleeds for those poor athletes

I'm going to leave it alone...

I don't want to offend or joke anyone's faith.

I will! A priest, a rabbi, and Jason Worilds walk into a bar...

Jason has to knock first...

[flippy]

Can't wait to see Jason riding his bike to my house and knocking on the door to drop off some pamphlets.
