Intense competitor or weak minded *****

Hard to say what was going on in his mind. We also dont know if there were any other circumstances that led him to break down. Maybe he lost a grandparent, friend, his dog died, his mom found out she had cancer, etc etc.....I think this is better than wanting part ownership in a team. I also dont think this hurts his draft stock, but his performance this year might. I dont know much about UFC and if the WRs are not getting open in big games or he is under-performing. Seems like the USC defense is pretty terrible though

i dont watch much, but from what i've seen there's a lot of talent there. those guys work on their trade and craft to the point that they're maniacal about it. that said, i can guarantee that he'd get his *** kicked in the UFC. hell, i'd even wager $50 that he'd get his *** kicked by a couple of the lower ranked guys in lighter weight classes.

I mean, he would probably kick my *** but I wouldn't go crying to my mom after the beat down
 
We still don't know why he was crying.... Who knows what he had going on in his personal life. Could have not had much to do with football and the game was just the final straw. I give him a pass on this one, but the ownership and having a list of teams not so much
 
I don't think he was weak minded. I can kind of relate. In my senior year of high school, I finally qualified for the state tournament in wrestling. Got my *** kicked in the opening match. Did better in the consolation bracket but still lost. Didn't place. When the realization hit that I was never going to achieve what I wanted to achieve and I would never have another chance to do it, I cried. It hurt. A lot of sacrifice in training, trying to maintain nutrition and strength without gaining weight, the practices, the matches, the injuries, the travel, maintaining grades to stay eligible, all of it. It was tough to accept failure after all that I gave.

This guy stayed in school an extra year to try and win the things he hadn't won yet. He won't get another chance. I can understand.

On a side note, I take failure much better as an adult. It's more of a hobby now.

did you jump into the stands to cry on your mommy's shoulder?

my issue is not the crying, but how he did it

keep the tears on the sideline or in the locker room. don't leap into mommy's lap
 
Pac Man didn't jump on his moms lap crying after they lost to the Steelers in the playoffs.
He kept it under control.
You have to catch his face right at the beginning of this clip.

Momma's lap with the giant chest heaves, like a weeping toddler.

When I was growing up you would simply fight away your differences. If you didn't in school you would be looked down on as weak. If you did that, in my house he would beat your arse and send you back out to either get another or prevail.

Now they promote *******. Just an odd period of time filled with a **** load of sensitive snowflakes.

I came home with an eye that made Rocky's look like a walk in the park. My parents barely asked what happened and I went to school the next day, no questions asked. <shrugs shoulders> No parent meeting, no cops called, just part of growing up.

He os only a Jr, right? He has already suggested that before the NFL banned it, if a team wasn’t willing to give him ownership stakes he’d just stay in school.. i think it’s realistic that with NIL money, he does try to play one more year… especially if his draft stock dips at all

That would all make sense if this was loss 1 or even loss 2, but it was loss #3. What exactly did he lose in this game?
