Greg Jennings was the one guy who seemed like a role model. Family guy, spiritual, never caught saying the wrong thing... Oh wait, he joined the Vikings and that all went to crap. First, he went after Aaron Rodgers. I think it's pretty clear that Rodgers makes everybody around him better, and even James Jones, who is Jennings' child's godfather, didn't really know where Jennings' criticisms were coming from. Now Jennings is complaining that Norv Turner's offense may be too complicated: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000345571/article/greg-jennings-norv-turners-offense-tough-to-grasp.
This is really funny to me. Norv Turner is one of the worst head coaches in the history of the NFL, but also one of the best offensive coordinators. He has been successful at every non-HC stop. Greg Jennings apparently does not want to work at his craft because he is already complaining. If he would just stop and look at the history of Turner as an OC, he would realize that he is probably in for a 17-20 YPC average this season. Good luck GJ.
i am always baffled when a player leaves a team and than bitches about his teammates, his coaches, etc etc (Dwight Howard) but then becomes completely irrelevant or their stats are diminished on the new team they go to. Professional atheletes are pampered egotistic assholes. 95% of them. if you don't think they are, they are. Every time i hear an athlete complain i think back to all those famous one liners over the years from iversons "Practice? you talkin about practice?" to "i don't get paid to play defense." I'm over cheering on players in any sport, only what they do. I might be jaded, which i know i am but really why should professional athletes be regarded as role models at all? they are basically athletic bankers.
