There's no room for football in Westbrook's heart

Who cares if he's gay or not?

Dude had some guns though

Stephen Davis agrees with you.

I was so excited when he was drafted. He was a football monster at Colorado and I thought he'd be a superstar in the NFL for us.

Sometimes fame and attention can sidetrack even the most gifted athletes and it's a shame. This is why the NFL has so many rookie orientations on how to handle money, women, everything imaginable.

really good article, you can see where he's coming from. I agree w/him about feeling sorry for high draft prospects. I mean how many of these guys say "I'm the man & should be drafted high?" Sure, some of them do, but it's the scouts, coaches & fans that build the expectations, then if these guys don't come through, they're a "bust." Westbrook's career was actually not bad. If he were a 3rd round pick, we'd have said he was okay but still a bit of a head case.

The one thing I disagree w/him about is when he says he wasn't selfish enough. I wonder if his coaches & teamates agree w/that. He surely seemed pretty selfish & never seemed to play hurt (I know, the article mentions a cast on his hand).
They all say I'm the man and want to get drafted high. Thats what they work on for years to make it big in the NFL and getting that big pay day. Yes, its a tough spot with lots of preasure but these guys receive a hugh pay day before they ever perform on the field. So even if they fail most are set for life. I'm sure there are tons of stories like WB that we never hear about but thats life in the NFL. I'm sure there are a bunch of guys that just want to get drafted and play football but the ulitmate goal is making it big.

Personally I don't, But Mike seems to care too much about what other people think. That's all I was trying to point out in my post.

Not sure why that would mean he's gay.

To me it sounded like he was just trying to explain what really happened.

Westbrook was waaaaay too thin skined to be a professional athlete. Guy had all the talent in the world but he just couldn't put it together. The NFL was just not for him. Glad he's happy now.

Westbrook and Shuler are proof that bad drafts can set a team back for years. It took Gibbs 4 years to put together a competitive team after the Spurrier debacles and Marty never stood a chance with only one year.

PLEASE NO WR IN 1ST ROUND!

That probably sums it all up right there

OK, so people are complaing that he didn't have room in his heart for football, but he had enough room for a couple of benwa balls in his A**. His sexual preference had nothing to do with his ability or desire as a football player. That was his business. I just wish that he had never wasted his or our time by declaring himself eligble for the draft since his heart wasn't into it. He did though, so it was what it was, and it is what it is. He's happy, we're happy, so lets just move on.
