I keep telling my son that playing a professional sport would be the greatest thing in the world, but he keeps listening to his Grandfather (who actually did) that being a Doctor or Lawyer or even an Engineer would be much more rewarding.
But thanks to Kyle Orton, the third string QB for the Bears no less, I might finally have the proof in hand to show my son how great the professional sporting life could be. Kids today just don't have the drinking heroes of my youth any more. No longer can we rely on a Mickey Mantle or Dave Parker showing up to a game hammered, nowadays the youth have to watch of players injectioning themselve with God knows what to feel better and be better. What has happened to the athletes I knew. Tim Raines would slide head first so as not to break his Coke vial in his back pocket. And when caught he would admit. I miss the athlete of old. If anything they were at least honest.
But as always I digress the real reason for this diatribe was so I could show these hilarious pictures of Kyle. Maybe what these pictures are saying is that being third string is the way to go. All the money and none of the worries.
Party on Garth.
