Dallas.....

[inactive]

Lots of guys in the NFL had tough times growing up and a mean a LOT. So.... wahhh.

You'e right. I doubt modest, admirable players like Pierre Garçon blame their bad days on their childhood.

Dez is an incredible ball player, but he has some issues. You would too if you never had a single positive role model in your life, ever, until college. He had never slept on a bed (and I mean never, not once) until he got to OSU. Now all of a sudden give him a few million dollars and put him back in Dallas where the man's only family is, all of whom are complete trash and they want a piece of him, he is going to have a hard time. I am proud of Dallas as they haven't written him off. He will get better on and off the field.

Sorry, but all NFL players are grown men and adults. I don't care what his childhood was like he knows right from wrong. It's just that simple. If they (all NFL/NBA, etc. players) can't act like adults and have enough self discipline to follow team rules, if you have to hire "chaperones" to make sure they stay out of trouble and follow team rules on curfew and such, then IMO they don't belong on the team. And Dez ain't an under privaledged kid anymore.

I want to know why everyone is so focused on how bad Dallas is, and nobody has pointed out how incredibly world class the Chicago Bear's defense is?

They are a good defense. Ranked 5th at the moment. Of course those 5 picks from Romo have inflated their stats. He was making some really bad decisions last night. I don't know how Steve Young can say they still look like a Super Bowl team after that. I guess all those concussions have taken their toll.
