A person who is a lazy pot smoker and doesn't work hard in life, will probably do the same thing in their sport (Ricky, Randy, anyone?)
A person who is withdrawn and reserved in their sport, will probably do the same in life (Barry and Bo, anyone?)
A person who doesn't hold people accountable in his family probably won't do so in his work (Jack Whitaker, our famous WV powerball winner, anyone?)
A person who enjoys the spotlight in their sport, will probably do the same in life (Deion and Irvin, anyone?)
Bottom line is you are who you are.
You can argue it if you like, but it's fact, psychological fact at that.
I studied it, I know it, I've seen it.
Now I'm not saying Sean Taylor is a bad person. But if he doesn't mind inflicting pain and fear to get the job done on the field, he'd probably do the same off the field, and that IS A FACT, because he did it when he assaulted someone and brandished a weapon at them.
I just realized all my people besides ol' Jack are of african american descent. I'm sure I'll be racist so let me put a few white folk in their.
If you're a risk taker and careless on the football field, you will probably be so in life (Brett Favre, anyone?)
If you waste money at the job, you'll probably do so in life (Enron or Adelphia CEO's, anyone?)
If you're arrogant on the field, you will probably be so off (Dan Marino, anyone?)
were talking about football here man, football. some of the greats are great because of how they were feared on the field and how much of a hit they couldlay on someone.
