I’m quite stunned by how flat and, at times, awful JA has been this season. Something is terribly off with him. A movie quote that comes to mind is from Rocky III when Mickey is telling Rocky why he won’t train him to fight Clubber Lang.

He says: “….then, the worst thing happened to you that can happen to any fighter. You got civilized, kid.”

A lot of hype, a huge contract, the demise of his relationship with a girl from the same small town he knew since childhood, a celebrity gf, etc., etc. might be okay for some players, but clearly it has all taken the fire out of the kid from Firebaugh.

    This is a lot of assumptions from people who watched him golf on bob does sports one time. It’s like hearing people say all the president does is golf or spend time at his house. Of course they do those thing in their spare time. That’s what people do. Maybe his work ethic sucks, but eating some chicken wings in Buffalo and hitting the links with some friends and having a few drinks has nothing to do with work ethic.
