It's easy, and only takes a few moments.His head was always in the right place and once he gets to the point where he stops catastrophizing the loss of football he will go on to do great things. **** happens to people in life.. some get devastating health news, lose a partner or a child.. others have to live through earthquakes or tsunamis.. none of it is fair.
He already did publish that one book (Magic Hat ?) and if memory serves right a second one is coming in 2020.
He just needs to realise that getting out of pro sports is not the end of his life but just the beginning of the rest of it.
I was coming it to make that point. He could, and probably will, end up coaching at some point. He had a good mind for the game. But he’s struggling with losing the ability to play at the top level. At least he went out - making some absolutely clutch grabs in the biggest comeback of all time of the biggest game on the planet.Pats should give him a job in the organization.
That’s not how depression works. Hell the Rock was depressed.Depends on your point of view i guess. I have a friend with cerebral palsy yet he enjoys life to the max. Goes skydiving,traveling etc. Does Mitchell want to talk to him about getting a ****ty deal?

MM still remains the only rookie to catch a pass from Tom Brady in a SB...and he made 5 of them in the most amazing 4th quarter in SB history.I was coming it to make that point.

A house and the money he spent on medical to get back on the field....a million dollars is nothing...
Telling someone who's depressed or lost to just "get it together" is so simple minded. Never had depression or anxiety? I was lost after my father suddenly passed when I was 24. He was my best friend. But I guess I should have just gotten my **** together and the years of depression would have just vanished!
I slept at a Holiday Inn the other night so I know exactly what he needs to do.
1. Get off his sorry ass and think of something productive to do with his time instead of making sad short movie clips no matter how good they are.
2. Write another children's book about a kid who has to overcome a devastating loss.
3. He was a 4th round pick and was with the club 2 years, so it's safe to say that he made a million dollars or more over that time. That's not counting any money from endorsements and book sales.
OK to take a few months to wallow in self pity. That's natural and you can afford it. But that time is up. Let this clip be your "rock bottom". And a lot of people DO have it worse. Much worse. So if you want to have a purpose, go to the Bahamas and work with their recovery. Be a Big Brother, etc.
4. You can't PLAY anymore, that doesn't mean you can't be around football in other ways. Help coach the local HS. They'd be glad to have you. Call Bill and ask him if you can come back next spring and work with the WR's Call Bill and see if they can use you as a local scout and get the training to do the job.
A good life is all about having a purpose. You are too smart not to seek one out.

It's 2019 and human knowledge has come a long way, but there's still a lot of ignorance out there.

I really like and respect you but seriously Ken, **** off.
Or we can hold a candlelight vigil for him. Feeling sorry for him is the way to go.
Seriously he should get into coaching if his passion for the game is still so strong.
Maybe he thinks life has more to offer than money. Second, what kind of person uses the word "******ed" in describing someone's character?Meh....the dude made over a million. If he's not ******ed then that is a lot of money.
Get your **** together man.
Still better luck than some (most?) of the UFlorida draftees....I have a friend that is an UGA graduate. He even had a bulldog named UGA. I used to give him a raft of crap about Georgia players, especially with the string of luck the Pats have had with Georgia players going back to Robert Edwards. But it was always in a kidding manner.
Now, after the past few months, I really feel bad for these young men.
Mitchell hurt and forced into retirement and he doesn't appear ready for it. Michel hurt early last year and missed some time. Wynn missed the year on IR. And now Andrews on IR. Mitchell and Andrews really worry me. Malcolm because he seems to be falling into a hole of depression and Bear because blood clots are life threatening. I hope that Malcolm can move on, he seemed like he could, but now....I just don't know.
