As human beings, we all screw up from time to time. BUT, that being said, I have noticed over the past few decades (watching high school, college, AND pro football) that players seem to have their heads in la la land more and more. Typically, I have chalked it up to coaching errors ... because, when I was a player, I distinctly remember our coaches consistently beating the snot out of us for egregiously stupid errors on the field. Things like: (1) completely unnecessary blocks in the back that are 30 yards away from your teammate who is running back a punt or a kickoff, (2) kick returners who run up to the 10 or 20 yard line to catch a kickoff millimeters before it goes out of bounds (and thus prevent your offense from starting with the ball on the 35 yard line), (3) running backwards 20, 25, 30, etc. yards in an almost ALWAYS futile attempt to beat the entire defense to the other side of the field, (4) delivering a hit without wrapping up and arrogantly expecting that the runner will simply, automatically go down, (5) with seconds remaining on the play clock (or even in the game), being slow to get off the snap, (6) dancing and taunting after a score that earns an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, etc.

Of course, it is becoming more and more obvious that there is another factor at play, as well ... players who are more interested in showboating and trash talking than they are in their team and simply allowing their performance on the field to speak for them.

That allowed the Vikings to with that football game with NO TIME left on the clock because he simply did not tackle him , which was all he had to do, not worry about whether he caught the ball because they were half a mile from the end zone with no time, still be on the Saints roster for next season?

Brees made history by leading his team back from a 17 point deficit in the 4th quarter to the lead, and with only a few ticks of the clock left, Minnesota QB throws a lob pass that was not nearly far enough to even let the Vikings attempt a field goal, much less have ANY time left to try one.

WHAT A BONE HEAD. He cost an NFL hall of Famer a shot at Philadelphia because he did not know the circumstances, the time left on the clock, or WHERE they were on the field...

IS this guy really a high school kid????

Unbelieveable. !!!!
