Colts DT Quinn Pitc0ck turns away from team in training camp and quits
 
http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/...with-football/

You would think that a guy who is fortunate enough to be drafted into the NFL and especially as high as in the 3rd round and given enough money in a contract to live a comfortable life and who wanted to be drafted in the NFL would at least try and get his heart in the game.

He had given the Colts trouble last year in getting to agree to a contract and now walks out on the team?

I can guarantee there are thousands of athletes who would have loved to have been in Pit****'s shoes right now,Especially on a team certainly capable of winning a championship this year.

Stupid if you ask me....

I think more Colts players should start doing that to express their disgust over the team. :singing:

Shockingly enough, not everyone views suffering crippling blows on a weekly basis for 20 weeks a year as a great way of life.

It one of the weirder things that I have seen in a while. I guess sometimes when you are blessed with a gift that others don't have you sometimes can't see it. I would imagine most people would give most anything for the chance to play just one game in the NFL, let alone the opportunity that Pit**** has in front of him.

At least he is quitting now instead of giving up during the season I guess.

All it should take is one look at a guy like Earl Campbell to understand why some people won't find it worth it. Now, that may not be where this guy is coming from, but a sport so violent that it cuts years off a person's life and can make those years painful and debilitating is going to make some people decide to go elsewhere to earn their living.

well i forget what the hell i was watching (most likely something on NFLN)... and they were talking about how certain players love football, and how certain players are good and just don't care about the game as much. They do it because they can.

That has got to be weird.

Maybe his moral compass couldn't handle rubbing elbows with a violent felon like Marvin Harrison on a daily basis, while getting religious tripe spouted into his ear by a hypcritical phony. Poor guy.

Then quit after college and don't make a team waste time, effort, money, and a high draft pick on you. Then again, it happened to the Colts, so it's okay. :D

speaking of "Marvin", i heard that the attempted murder rate in Phily has dropped by 20% since Colts training camp started.

Pony, I've been reading your posts for the last couple of days. To say the least, I don't think you're exhibiting the kind of Quiet Strength that Tony Dungy is talking about.
