OTAs
Why do we care? Why would we have to hear a 5 minute segment on 'the receiver formerly known as C Johnson' and why he isnt at OTAs. It is called Optional Training Activities. Key word: Optional. If it was mandatory he would be there, he always is, and he usually works hard. He doesnt drink, he doesnt rape girls in club bathrooms, and he doesnt get charged for murder, he is just a goofy dude. Let him have all the reality shows he wants; like a players professional career, a single man's sex life 'doesnt last forever.' When will we return to the days of simply judging players based on their on on-field credentials? Players with felonies and.....perhaps... a class A misdemeanor are excluded. Besides that, if someone just says a stupid comment...take it for what it is--A stupid comment. Most likely the result of a sport-first/education-second culture that many of the athletes grew up in. I dont know this for a fact (I promised to only go from memory, I can be wrong, google me) but I am pretty sure that Kevin Garnett went to 5 high schools and never got above a 800 on his SAT, obviously leaning him towards the pro route. My only point is judge these people based on the the demographic they matched for the majority of their life. Which is not the life of a millionaire, usually it is far from it. Dont let me down 85....big stats this year

Brian Urlacher just said in an interview that OTAs are boring...no one wants to be there. Many Vets sit them out on purpose. Chad already has good timing with 'numba 9' he doesnt need all that much work with the rest of the team to run the same routes with his same QB. That is actually the lone position that can get away with it.
