Also, just because we fucked off during college doesn't mean everyone does. Especially those that are having their education paid for. You don't think scholarship football players spend a huge chunk of time fucking off? What planet are you living on man? Don't tell me you think they go to college for the education. Some do, don't get me wrong. But a huge majority of the elite players only go to college for one reason, to play football and hope to get a shot at the NFL. They don't give a fuck about education. They want to play football, party their balls off and fuck bitches. No, I don't think a most scholarship football players spend a HUGE chunk fucking off. They spend hours in practice, class, and training. If they spent a large time fucking off, they most likely would not have the talent/drive to be a scholarship football player. Granted, they may not give a shit about class, but they have to stay qualified. I just don't know where all of this supposed time to fuck off comes from. Just because this is what YOU would do in their position doesn't mean that's what happens. You are making some strong assumptions, and I just don't see how you can fucking party hard, go to class, practice, weight train, and make it all work. Maybe some can, but I doubt it's close to the majority.

5A. I am dumber having read most of your comments. Great rebuttal. Thanks for proving my point. Most people would rather bitch and complain about someone else's choices, and how that person should be living their life, rather than considering why they care to begin with and whether or not that is healthy and/or productive. But, I like your approach. It's easier to hurl insults rather than discuss the merits of my observation. Also I wasn't just hurling insults at you - you and Twine were both making lists like 1., 1A, 2. If you think that was an insult then you need a tampon worse than I thought.

Apparently my read is off today. My bad. I still stand by my point though.

Well I don't think FB players really have to spend much time looking for trim...I mean the amount of jersey chasers out there is astounding.

I am just going to take a wild guess but assume you didn't have a potential million dollar career 6 short months away at the time you were doing all that crap. I don't doubt that you or DJK are good people. One has nothing to do with the other, a good friend of mine was hooked on coke for awhile I still think they are a good person just questioned them at the time they were using for shitting on so many people in their life for a little high and risking my career/life (and others) to do it. My point is this: Who cares if the dude is 6 months away from a potential million dollar contact? Who cares if he is 6 minutes away from a potential million dollar contract? It's not your life. It's his. I'll never understand people's obsession with judging other people's choices. The dude broke the law, and will have to face the consequences. This is what life is all about. Learning. In the grand scheme of things, this shit won't even matter. You know damn well he isn't doing any real time for this. He will still have a career in the NFL. He will still make millions of dollars. It's not like he is the first NFL player who enjoys smoking weed and doing blow. First off I am not judging him, I could care less if he does blow until his nose falls off like you said it's his choice and his life, I just think that it's sad that he decided to do this with what he has in front of him. I would guess if you asked him he would feel bad about it too. Maybe not that he was doing the shit but that it was made public and got caught. You also have no clue if this will affect his NFL chances, my guess it doesn't help. As far as guys in the league that do it sure but there is one big difference between DJK and those guys; they are already in the fucking league and have contracts that pay them a lot of money. Also how many average or borderline players get those chances after they fuck up? Not many. Sure he might still get a shot at playing but as I said earlier it doesn't help his cause.

Ya, it does mean shit when you're fucking over the rest of your team. It does mean shit when he probably just cost himself millions of dollars in draft stock. Comparing you and I to his situation just isn't on the same level. The difference is some get caught and others don't. He's only "fucking over his team" because he got caught doing the illegal activity. Every day, thousands of football players across the country are doing something illegal and risking "fucking their team over". And let's not forget that this is a game folks. It isn't like this is a combat troop or some shit, where fucking over the "team" can get someone killed. Believe it or not, football probably isn't half as important to the people playing it as it is for the fans attempting to live vicariously through them. So save me the "he fucked the team over" speech. And besides that, this team is already completely fucked over. That happened way before DJK had this incident. I'll bet a majority of his team mates feel different about it than it only being a game. your right, it isn't combat. It is a situation though in which other people were counting on his talents to succeed, in other words he fucked over his team. I also think the majority of college students out there want to succeed in school as well as just have a good time. Most aren't willing to do illegal activities to achieve either. You know my stance on drugs, I don't want that debate again. But this is a case where he fucked over other people counting on him as well as screwing up his own life. sports figures have no problem basking in the glory when they win, why should we let him off the hook when he fucks our team over?

Did anyone else see him do that big old fat railer before the kickoff return during the MN game?? That would've killed an average horse.

Take this for what it's worth- I am not going to name, names because I am sure they don't want this out in the public but a teammate or former teammate of DJK's said the guy got what he deserved and said he is a total ass clown that needs to get his priorities straight. Said that he always though he was above everybody else on the team and was just a pretty shitty guy in general. He also added that he hopes that he gets as much jail time as possible and that it pains him that DJK will be able to call himself an Iowa Hawkeye for the rest of his life.
This isn't coming from a scrub either.
Again take that for what it's worth but it's not from a friend's brother's guy that he works with kind of deal either, straight from the source.
Edit: and don't post this shit on any other board I posted it here for a reason and not on Jan's or any other board.

DJK does not socialize with his teammates like most people would assume. His social group is made up of "regular" students and fans that suck his cock......see some of the comments after the IC Press Citizen articles.
