Right, freaks for sure.
That was joke with Joel Zumaya. We wanted to believe the Nolan Ryan theory.
Of course, Zumaya was built to blow his arm out in a few years and he did.
Nothing really shocking there.
I even fudged the numbers a bit. The numbers are more like 2.5 years.
A different mindset at the time. The general feeling among a lot of fans and personalities that this was an act of betrayal.
As a younger fan, I’m more amazed that he played 10 full seasons with the same team.
Honestly, just stick with a water based lube.
EDIT: Sorry, didn’t read context of post 😔
Who else in the NFL even does things like this? Players don’t hang together like this anywhere else in the league.
Also, I don’t even know if this hurts… It doesn’t seem to. You feel a little squashed.
So, honestly, I don’t find Barry retiring to be as confusing and shocking as a previous generation did.
The dust has settled a bit. 10 seasons at running back is more than fine. Barry was also amplified as being a weirdo… and he was a bit. Still, if you lose a passion for the game, at least Barry was honest about it.
