I’d have more sympathy for Ocho if he spent more time studying the playbook and less time preparing for his television appearances.
It’s the same reason Braylon Edwards will never achieve anything in the NFL.
Ocho was arguably the most productive wideout in the NFL for 5 years, remember.
Is Braylon on TV a lot?
Here’s a good article about Edwards.
The money quote:
I remember catching a few minutes of that reality show. What a pointless ego trip that was. It was just cameras following him around while he shopped for clothes.
He’s one of those guys who wants to try just hard enough to get a big payday, then take it easy and do vacuous celebrity-type things once the check has been cashed. He’d have been right at home in the NBA.
Have you not seen reality shows before?
Yeah, but for an NFL rookie who had accomplished literally nothing at that point in his life?
He’s still more interesting, more or less by definition, than the average reality show cast member.
In any event, saying he’d accomplished literally nothing is a bit much; he’d won the Biletnikoff Award, was named an All-American and Big Ten offensive MVP, set pretty much every receiving mark in Michigan football history, and been drafted third overall.
He had a reality show that aired in the city of Cleveland, where he had accomplished exactly nothing.
Tim Tebow had a nice college career at Florida. Do you wanna watch his reality show?
No, but I bet there are a shit ton of people who do. Did you forget his jersey is the league’s top seller?
Would his jersey sales make his hypothetical reality show any less annoying and unnecessary?
Probably not…but all those jersey buyers would likely eat it up anyway. It’s Tim Tebow, God bless him! 
Just found that the NFL Rewind is running a free trial until this weekend (Nov 14). It’s on the NFL site, it lets you watch any game from the last 2 seasons. The quality is pretty good. Thinking about buying their mid-season package for $25.
One of the cool features is that it’s indexed per play, so you can skip from one play to the next. I’m guessing you could watch a game in 30-40 minutes this way.
No. And I’m sure Braylon’s show was annoying and unnecessary. I just think that’s not because it had Braylon in it.
Tim Tebow blesses God.
Shit. I have a huge assignment due for school next week, and… damn you.
ETA: Chad Pennington is starting for the Dolphins this week. What the hell are they thinking? Henne’s not that bad, and if they wanted a spark, they should give Tyler Thigpen a shot.
I think NFL network is gonna be doing that half ass teasing shit on their website for thursday night games again, where they have the blowhards spew platitudes with their insightful analysis for half the time, and then randomly show the game half the time.
That’s more of a Week 10 subject.
Reported.
Yeah, well I reported you for gratuitous reporting.
Yup. Fuck.
I don’t know what’s actually happening, but the Gamecenter feed makes it look like Roddy White and Ray Rice are each eating the opposing defenses’ lunches.
