millbank Posted September 5, 2004 Posted September 5, 2004 Its just has to be tough for a number of men tonight, From young boys playing Pop Warner , High School Football, College , excelling all along the way , year after year of doing laps, weight training, perhaps not taking job offers and opportunities to travel, dreaming the dream of one day being a pro football player and all along the way folks telling you can , fighting to believe in yourself because you are like millions the nation over only to get a phone call tomorrow saying, thank you for the effort but we are going in a different direction . To have your shot to fail and hurt about it and move on from a life time dream and to have been so close…….. got feel for many guys tomorrow , nothig rips like being so close and yet so far...
eSJayDee Posted September 5, 2004 Posted September 5, 2004 Fortunately or unfortunately, just 'cuz they get cut, the dream isn't over for many of those young men. There's still the hope that someone will sign them later in the year (or even this week), and of course also for many of them, they'll work to get better & try next year. It's a tough quest when you look at it that way.

None of the guys who were in camp should give up just yet. Look at Steve Tasker or Phil McConkey.
