Lighten up, Francis. This isn't the early aughts. Kobe needs help to win and being a giant, gaping asshole isn't going to get you help, it'll get you a shit ton of resentment. Playing with an asshole and winning is bearable. Playing with an asshole and losing will drive away talent (see: Howard, Dwight).

Jets fans maybe? I guess Cowboys fans are obnoxious but not unruly. I didn't really understand that either.

What. Does. This. Have. To. Do. With. Recent. College. Graduates?

stop now. You just look dumb.

it didn't have an impact. He was drafted in the first round where he was supposed to be drafted. His dismissal of the workout was essentially a non issue. So again, what does this have to do with college grads entering the workforce?

Wha? Why does a 21 year old who's gonna tackle people for a living need to exemplify the same professionalism as someone in the business world? He can't tell the gm to get fucked, but he also doesn't need to bend over backwards to kiss ass either. He needs to perform well at his job. That's how athletes maximize their…

Yeah, there's a difference in payment because of draft position, but neither you nor I have any reason to believe that the skipping of the workout had anything to do with his draft position. It could have been a litany of things. It could have been football related (likely) or it could have resulted from some pearl…

hey look! Trying to distract from our asinine point, are we?

Their circumstances are worlds apart. How do you not see that your initial argument is severely more flawed than the Moss comparison? Don't even bother replying if you aren't gonna answer.

So the lesson is that you can still be drafted in the first round even if your character is under attack by the sports media and NFL GMs? Holy fuck. Thanks for that. Tell me again how that relates to college grads joining the workforce.

Jesus Christ dude. You compared him to a recent college grad! Why?! How in the fuck are you going to dismiss the comparison to another WR when your OP compared him to some 22 y/o whose skill set is based on data entry?

Comparing KB to Luck is laughable. Comparing him to a recent college grad is the crux of this guy's argument. This is who we're dealing with.

Every time you respond without answering whose standards are being lowered, you look like a bigger piece of mealy mouthed shit than Brandt. You're an insufferable, self righteous prick as evidenced by this nearly 24 hour screed.

Setting low standards for who? Holy fuck! Answer the goddamn question? What lesson is to be learned? You haven't been able to answer the question.

yeah, he admitted that he had a bad work ethic. There is no more detail. That could have been in response to a question about overcoming adversity or his biggest weakness. And if we're being honest, I'd want the kid to be frank with the team. He had trouble getting motivated, then he became a key cog in the BCS champ…

got it. So comparing him to other football players isn't ok but comparing him to some dipshit business administration major is perfectly cromulent. Do you even read the dumb shit you write? You're feigning intelligence by acting like your point is so obvious and it's flying over our little heads, but when asked to…

How do you know that his "questionable character" resulted in his draft status and, oh, I don't know, actual football reasons? Sports media types talk about all that superfluous shit because they get paid to write something and sometimes they make shit up. The original quote is mealy mouthed and passive aggressive. It…

If he fell in the draft, it's more likely for football reasons rather than your narrative of character issues. I don't know how that's convenient since it's exactly what fucking happened. The WRs drafted before him better fit the needs of their respective teams. I don't know why you're gobbling up this finger-wagging…
