Worilds retires!!! Whaaaaat??

[feltdizz]

Jason has to knock first...

not gonna do it.

[Slapstick]

My heart bleeds for those poor athletes

Again, easy to say on an MB...

[RuthlessBurgher]

not gonna do it.

It's 2015, and I've made two separate Dana Carvey as George H. W. Bush references in one week on a Steeler message board...what are the chances?

[Northern_Blitz]

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.

This. How many people would quit work if they won a $9.75M lottery? That's what his tag was last year and doesn't even count his first contract.

If he's even moderately responsible financially, he's set for life. It's not wrong to want to keep playing. It's not wrong to walk away either.

[Captain Lemming]

I'm going to leave it alone...

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

Joke away my friend. Most of us love it.

"Knock knock"
Who's there?
JW.
JW who, Jehovah’s Witnesses?
"Jason Worilds"

Having the same initials as his religion is really odd

I wonder if Ryan Clark is Roman Catholic? Is Steve McLendon a Shiite Muslim?

Because of Adam Sandler's Hanukkah song, we already know that O.J. is not an Orthodox Jew.

Is Ben a Bahai (Reformed)?

Call it what you want Moonie.


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.

That was when god was just getting started. Thousands of years ago. No TV, no internet, no radio, no Gideons, not even newspapers. You can't compare the hurdles those guys had in front of them to what today's wanna-be advocates do. Now Him is everywhere, even the gridiron. Comparing Worilds' weak behavior to the founders is just apples and oranges, IMHFO.

[Slapstick]

And what that has to do with anything, I am unclear.

Mr. Moonie, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Besides, fishwhacked was better.

He'll take "Whore Ads" for $200...

Umm...I mean, "Who Reads"...

Exactly. There's a long list of ex-players with head issues or who have trouble walking. The guy's set for life. I've got no problem with him walking away.

Players don't owe the game anything.
