NFL Players Who Need To Grow Up!

The following is a short list of current NFL players who by all rights should be very happy to get paid an incredible boatload of money to play a game, and just shut up and deal with their egos and hurt feelings:
Jay Cutler - Wah! Someone talked about trading me, while I'm just as good as John Elway! Wah! My feelings are hurt so I want to be traded somewhere else where I'll be appreciated. Wah!
Julius Peppers - Awww,...$17 million a year not enough, you need to be traded to the Patriots as well?
Shaun Rogers - You made the Pro Bowl in Cleveland! Enjoy your years near the bottom of the AFC North!
Terrell Owens - of course he just has to be on the list. How did he come by his #81 when someone already had it on the Buffalo Bills? Hmmm...
Donte' Stallworth - Killed a pedestrian in Florida while driving drunk? Buh-bye for a long time!
Chad Johnson - Wants to be traded but no other team seems to place a high value on a guy who only seems to think about himself and more about his TD celebrations than his teammates who got him there.
Donovan McNabb - So what, Andy Reid thought you were playing horrible in the Baltimore game, so he benched you. Deal with it and stop throwing so many interceptions!
Brett Favre - Pretty please, we all beg you to stay retired this time and no more whiny, crying press conferences.
Tony Gonzalez - Too bad you want to be traded to a contender, as you should have thought of that when you were a lot younger and a free agent.
LT - See any coincidence between the un-typical LT seasons you've had since you lost your FB Lorenzo Neal? Hmmm...
Derek Anderson/Brady Quinn - You both want to start? Fine, then play that much better than the other guy and earn it, instead of just thinking you can do all those commercials and just be handed the job!
Matt Jones - A little legal problem gets him arrestd and cut? Awww!
Samari Rolle - What, $4.1 million wasn't worth it unless you could be a starter?
Hank Baskett - How come no one wants him other than former Hugh Hefner girlfriend, Kendra Wilkerson?
Kyle Boller - How come no one wants me? Anyone? Hello?

I think Derrick Mason needs to be on here, at the moment.
He has been crying about how much he wants an extension. We have him for another year, so we will worry about that when the time comes. Calm down. He expects us to drop everything dealing with Ray, The Draft, and the rest of Free Agency just so we can give the gut an extension?
Shut up, and play out the year like you are supposed to and we will see about a possible extension.
You have to hate losing more than you love winning.

Notice that I did n't put any Ravens on the list?
I just couldn’t bring myself to throw any of them under the bus, as tyhey still are my guys as long as they are wearing the purple. Of course once they leave they are fair game, but never while on my team!

To harsh
I think you guys are being a little to harsh on some of the players. I mean Tony G and LT haven’t really done anything wrong, cant blame a guy for wanting to win the big game. I would agree with a lot of these guys but some of these things are a little over the top.

Probably true
Some were a stretch, but in some ways they all were subjective in nature from my perspective. Just trying to get some comments flowing, and to a small extent, it worked.

My list definitely would have included Ray Ray.
Water covers 2/3 of the Earth's surface. Ed Reed covers the rest.

Ray
After the way in which he conducted himself during this whole FA shindig, RayRay needs to be on if not near the top of this list. I know you love him, and I think he is the greatest MLB to play the game, but Ray the person is not Ray the player. Go back and look at his statements when things are not going his way and you will see a pattern. And that pattern is not flattering. It will all be forgotten by the time training camp arrives, but Ray has some serious fence mending to do with the fans. He tried last week, but it was incredibly disingenuous to say that he never wanted to leave Bmore. But then again, Ray has a history of being revisionist when it comes to what he says.
I’ll say it again. It has been an honor to watch the man play football. He is the greatest MLB I have ever seen and I remember back to Willie Lanier. But his human side often leaves a lot to be desired, and we saw way too much of it over the last few weeks.
Peace

All of Ray's so-called "comments"
he denied and blamed them on the media, which I agree. Until I hear him say those things, I’ll give him and the other Ravens a pass. Is that biased? Yup.

Telling McNabb not to throw so many intereceptions is kind of silly
Career he’s been among the least intercepted Quarterbacks of all time.

Yeah, but...
…he was a bit whiny…wanted a contract extension for the Eagles to prove their love for him, etc.

But can you blam him
The Eagles turned their backs on him during that Baltimore game when they were only down by 3! I’m still wondering what would’ve happend if Andy decided to stick with Mac5 for the 2nd. We probaly still would’ve won but I dont think he would’ve palyed and worst then Kolb. And then later that Season, he take Philly to the NFC championship game. Im surprised he isnt asking for a trade from Philly.
FEAR THE NEVERMORE DEFENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Owens, Peppers, and Cutler
He paid about $25,000 to James Hardy to get his number. In professional sports, it’s not all that rare to see a player give another player compensation to get a number they feel comfortable playing with.
No one outside of Indiana hoosiers fans even know who the old number 81, James Hardy, even is.
Julius Peppers wanted to leave via free agency, yet he got “tagged.” He’s never whined, complained or done anything but be a stand up guy and now that the Panthers won’t let him leave, yeah, he’s getting agitated, but he’s conducting his business in house. He’s not using the media to get his way, plus he donates so much time and money to the Carolina area.
Cutler is a case where he made the pro bowl. you don’t go looking for Mr. One Year wonder Matt Cassel. He never said he was better than John Elway, not once. He just feels disrespected and as he should, they went behind his back, trying to get someone who couldn’t start a head of Matt Leinart or Carson Palmer in college. I’d ask to be traded as well.

Hardy is a monster
That man will be amazing in the NFL after T.O leaves. Evans and Hardy along with a little roscoe parrish. Could be an offense to mess with.

Didn't know what TO paid, if anything.
The rumor was that the Bills just took it from Hardy and gave it to TO. Peppers is now complaining about not getting traded while he has no right to complain, getting $17 million. Cutler is a baby, pure and simple. As a primadonna, he has no right to act like this, as everyone is involved in trade talks at one time or another andto throw a hissy-fit because he was involved in being traded for a team guy, he should be spanked and sent to his room like the crybaby he is!

Only been in the leage one year man
Give it some time. I am sure its a tough transition, physically, from College to the NFL.

Again, Hardy
I think he’ll he a good Brandon Stokley-esque wide-out. He can be a serviceable 3rd WR, not a number 2. He is tall, but he drops passes too much, a lot like Owens in that sense actually

You missed the most obvious one...

Just for kicks
add A-Rod he looks like a nfl linebacker, not a Third Baseman playing Baseball.
