I hesitate to say this because I like Rosen as a potential pick and i also don't want to feed the trolls. But after reading a number of interviews with him, it seems to me that he has some real narcissism in his makeup. That's not a great trait. Edited April 15, 2018 by dave mcbride 1

It's called confidence I'm not even talking about the football stuff - I'm talking about his seeming belief that his essentially banal views on religion, society, etc. are worthy of being considered serious and of public import. They aren't. Honestly, he doesn't seem particularly well educated or curious to me. That's ok for a football player, of course, but he really should stop laying it on so thick. Incidentally, he lies above (shades of Trump!) to make himself look better. He very much wanted to go to Stanford but the coach didn't want him. UCLA was definitely not his first choice. I'd still take him in a heartbeat. Edited April 15, 2018 by dave mcbride

I'd still take him in a heartbeat. It's a F'n INTERVIEW, man. Like a reporter asking him what his views are on religeon, society, etc. And then remind me how many 20-year old kids get to be interviewd by SI. smh...

But it's not. There are now a whole raft of such interviews. Again, on balance I like him (recognizing that no one is perfect) and would be thrilled to get him. Edited April 15, 2018 by dave mcbride

I'd still take him in a heartbeat. Maybe it's just the population I know - it's pretty common in slightly nerdy/geeky kids, especially the boys, to take themselves and their views too seriously. Most of them grow out of it by their mid-twenties. Some of them don't and join Red Pill Reddit. And maybe I'm just a touch sensitive here, Dave, but I think folks should be a bit more careful about tossing around conclusions like "he lies". In the full article (which took me 5 seconds to look up) this is what Rosen says about Stanford. There is no lying above. He knew the summer before his Jr year that Stanford wasn't going to take him, he admits he was devastated, and he's talking about UCLA as his choice of the schools he looked at after Stanford didn't take him: "Four years earlier, on his visit to Bosco, Rosen had asked the coaches and academic officials if coming out of their school he'd be able to get into Stanford. Growing up the son of Penn and Princeton graduates, Rosen saw Stanford as a football Ivy. He attended a camp in Palo Alto the summer before his junior year but returned without a scholarship offer, heartbroken. Rosen recalls that he didn't click with the mild-mannered Cardinal coach David Shaw, who appeared put off by questions about the depth chart. Shaw says the Cardinal coaches simply decided to not take a quarterback in that class because of roster numbers. Rosen returned to Bosco devastated but now calls the snub "probably the best thing that ever happened to me," he says. "I'm not Stanford, and I would have hated it. It was good for me because it killed my ego a little bit." " Edited April 17, 2018 by Hapless Bills Fan 1

YoloinOhio Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) Pegula: Hey Josh, welcome to Buffalo! !@#$ trump, amirite? Rosen: Well, sir, I was young then and I regret that decision. I have really matured since then and... Pegula: Awe come on, !@#$ trump! I called New Era and had a !@#$ Trump hat with a standing buffalo made for you, and only you. Did you know my daughter plays professional tennis? Rosen: Yes sir. I mean, why? Pegula: Why what? Rosen: Just, why? I need to know why she plays tennis. And why you made me a hat. Pegula: Do you like yachts? Edited April 25, 2018 by YoloinOhio 1 3
