Grind My Gears, Monday

It's that time again.  Monday, and the things that grind my gears the most, and why you should know about it.  Tonights topic.  Lazy sports athletes that think they are owed something, but in actuality they are owed nothing.  The birth of this topic all began with the Eagles game Sunday.  Pass after pass...Desean Jackson shortarming almost 65% of the passes.  What can I say it was a wreck out there.  However, all was okay, Dave came to the rescue and pointed out what I wanted to say, and thank goodness he did.  It felt like a weight had been lifted off, and some semblance of the fact that I can hate on him was upon us; but like a knight in shining armor, George came to #10's rescue and said, wait a minute, he needs to be healthy to be paid for what he is worth.

Now the debate and argument was on.  George, I'm sorry buddy.  However I gotta side with Dave.  What really grinds my gears.  Lazy sports athlete that think the world should give them everything on a silver platter.  You want that multi-million dollar contract Desean, earn it my friend.  You're a bum and a lame duck sitting out there.  Really?!  You're a professional football player, if you're as good as you believe you are then make the catches, stop playing so soft, and when the time comes, you'll earn the big money.  What is it with all these players out there thinking that they don't have to earn their keeps?  Yes it has been 4 years, and Jackson should have earned it by now, and he should be playing with a big contract by now; but guess what?  He doesn't have a big contract yet, so in my eyes, you haven't earned squat yet.

First you're going to ask me, what right do I have to say any of this.  And you know what you're right I have no right to say anything.  However, if I had the athletic prowess of one Desean Jackson, and I was getting paid to run a catch a football.  I will be trying my hardest to catch each and every single one of those balls.  Shouldn't you be grateful that you're doing something you actually love, and not crunching number, doing manual labor, working with the public, or even for the government?  Shouldn't you be happy that you make others happy and that men, women, and children adore you because you are a sports superstar?  Shouldn't you be happy that we love you or rather did love you, and you would have been Philly royalty in the heart of the city?  You could've had it all De-seen.  You could've had it all.  In a city that loves and honors the hard working man, the go getter/blue collar attitude, you don't embody any of that.  Instead you embody, the ugly, self-centered, me me me-ism, that we all hate.  Wasn't T-O like that?  No, he was just a douche.  Seriously, you want to get paid big money, earn it.  I haven't seen any of that this season at all.  You are a whiny bitch, you can't catch, and in two seconds, I'm going to start calling you  Todd Pinkston.  *Sigh*  Earn your keep you bum.

Things that grind my gears:  Overpaid wannabe superstar athletes, that shouldn't even be considered top 10 WRs.
