Most the NFL players that go on the show are retired. There have been a few active players though, including most recently Von Miller and Antonio Brown.

Miller didn't blow a knee, but he was constantly blowing gas out his backside during rehearsals.

Right but as we all know certain players are given certain lee-way while others are chastised and berated.

I couldn't care less about this show, and if Smitty is on it, I still won't watch. I think it is kinda lame, tbqh, and I will actually probably lose respect for him if he goes on there.

Sucker punched a teammate, put a young teammate in the hospital, was a dick to other young receivers....

...but you'll lose respect for him if he does ballroom dancing on a TV show?

 

 

Okay.

I think pretty much any active player who injured himself in a non-football activity like a TV show would probably draw a generous amount of ire and scorn.

And make no mistake, this isn't a high school dance. It's professional level; it's hard, grueling work and people do indeed get injured doing it. Heck, even the professional dancers who do it for a living get hurt from time to time.

Any active athlete who does this is definitely taking a chance.

Okay.

All of that was relatively early on in his career, and the "dick to other young receivers" is just speculation and opinion, as far as I know. I'd probably be a dick too if put in some of his situations.

He has paid his penance as far as I am concerned. Nobody is perfect and we all have stuff in our past that we regret.

Fine.

But that still doesn't explain what's so disrespectable about his going on this show.

I just feel like, as a show, it has outplayed its novelty. I guess I just don't see how a dancing competition can be interesting after a couple seasons, and for Smitty to be on it doesn't really do anything to change that for me.


To each their own, though. I'm sure lots of people don't watch half the junk I watch on TV either.

Well, for those few that were wondering....no Steve Smith or Peyton Manning. Just announced the cast on GMA.  The chosen NFL player this year is former Giant Rashard Jennings. Only other notable major sports guy is ex Cub David Ross.

I have never watched this really, but Rossy being on there may force me to, gah.

Mr. T, though? Seriously.

That has "train wreck" written all over it.

      The guy has not coach college in ten years and in that span its greatly changed. Still take him over Davis, I want to see the presser and if billy still has fire in his eyes for college non-sense.....plus you know billy will want a multi-million staff.  This is interesting, very....... glad the old guard FINALLY steps aside......

      Processing Blue: immediate draft needs

      By Basbear · Posted

      He's a hard player to rank, cause he is a young NT. I do see his abilities to branch out among the DL. That's the only way for him to land in the 1st, some team has to believe he's got the stuff to play DE or T3.... I just don't see using 19 on him, I feel there should be around 7 players just ranked higher than him for the Panthers team.  ___________________________________________________________________   Now you are a roster nut like me. Im tossing this into fire, I think a good move is to trade UP, yes rare. Just the roster #s tell me 5 rookies and no more than 2 starters will make the team. I feel 5 is magic number.    QB- 2  BY, Pickett RB- 3   Chubba, Brooks(pls), etienne TE- 4   Sanders, Temble, Evans, Draft pick/major/franks/UDFA OL- 10   Walker, Lewis, Fortner, Hunt, Motown, Zavailla, Samac, Stone, Draft pick, Draft pick/Charles/carter WR-  6   Tmac, XL, Coker, Metch, Horn, Tremay   offense=  25 with 3 draft picks   DL-  6   Brown, Brown, Wharton, Ray, Cam, Hunter/draft pick Ed-   5  Phillips, Nic, Prince, Jones, ST/incoom/hampton ILB-   5  Lloyd, Wallace, Bam, Claud, draft pick CB-    5 Horn, Jackson, Thor, Evans, draft pick/CSN/UDFA SS-  4  Scott, More, Ramsom, Sim   Defense = 25 with 2 picks   ST = known 3+o+d = 53 roster   SO I see only room for 5-6 with factoring in UDFA pool. That tells me to trade up! Bonus the 1st+3rd gets in front of TB yucs. Then use one of the 5ths+2nd to draft another target. That's your two starters and use the 4th, 5th and 6th for the development OTs and what ever the best player are at the pick/DB. The last couple years they have added 2-3 UDFA each year, maybe the same this year too. Soooooooo Im normally 95% trade back, but above made me change my mind. I do not want to waive 5th rounder, I feel thats high with players on the bench.    ?? There's waiver claims too, they have done that each year.
