Men will be men. They can reanimate Malcolm X, George Washington, and JFK to tell these guys whats right and whats wrong but in the end they are young men with money who do whatever whenever despite the warnings.

Does the NFL really think 1st Round draft pick “So and So” is going to stop and think about what PacMan said at the symposium while being handed a joint or getting behind the wheel after a few drinks?

These symposiums and faux-learning events are a giant waste of money.

I hope they never change this. I’m sick of this generation that thinks the NFL began when the first Madden game came out.

Chris Herren recently spoke at the high school I work at. Very very very power story and speaker. It was incredible to watch the kids (and adults) truely listen, everyone in that room that day took away something from that assembly. If Chris Herren ever comes to your area to speak I would definitely encourage you to go and if you have any pre-teen/teenage kids, TAKE THEM!

Maybe do a scared straight with the rookies and take them to a state prison for a day and see if the drug and alcohol use goes down!! Prison would be something that would make anybody appreciate their freedom, especially sports athletes.
