Kelly Campbell News

This was posted on the ESPN message boards from a poster who has proven himself to be a Vikings insider by calling both the Smoot and Cowart deals before they happened:

 

"Kelly Campbell has been missing for nine days now, no one has seen or heard from him & he does not respond to pages or phone messages left............"

 

Good thing Minnesota landed Travis Taylor as a replacement. :D

Someone tell me how such levels of stupidity have enabled Campbell to live this long.  How can anybody be so amazingly idiotic as to reach the NFL, then toss the whole thing away?  It happens over and over and over again.  :D

Has it got anything to do with the manipulative major High School, College, and player agent structures which nurture sub-literate athletes and fill them with delusions?

 

Just the other night, an ESPN reporter indicated that Tubby should stay with Kentucky hoops rather than go to Virginia because he didn't have to worry about stringent academic standards ... nice. My daughter and I just went to a recruiting presentation on the NCAA national clearinghouse -- did you realize you can be a DI player if your teachers give you a 3.55 gpa in HS even if you get a 400 combined on the SATS???? Ouch. If you only get a 400, you shouldn't get a full scholarship to college -- you should get tutoring on how to hold a pencil!!!!

 

C'mon, who's surprised that these athletes can't make intelligent decisions -- so much of their decision support is based in folks feeding off them. As long as kids keep getting hooked into this system with the Don Kings of the world as their AAU coaches, as their college boosters, as their posse ... we'll continue to develop players with no more ability for rational thought than Mike Tyson.
