How jail ruined Jesse James’ promising football career

Flush with scholarship offers to play D1 football, Jesse James lost them all after his dad sent him to jail. James also talks of playing junior college ball and a tough decision after a major knee injury.

Mr. James I respect you and your honesty. I don't know if you read this stuff, but you have a fan. Way back in the day, watching you hand make tanks, through that weird monster garage stuff, been a fan. I'm just a blue collar hillbilly, but I would totally ride any pony you made. From a poor white boy who can't afford the art you make, you're a craftsman. And a man to admire. Earn your comeuppance. Chin up, back strait.

[@AgLandsVideos]

You're totally clueless. "Character issues" (a classy term for "fucks up and gets arrested") are the biggest deal breaker for college recruiters... and this was the 1980's? Forget it. Florida State dropped Randy Moss (who at the time was without question, far and away, the #1 college player at any position in the nation) over a 60 days sentence over chickenshit (a fight, marijuana). A good but otherwise not world class player getting 90 days for stealing cars? No fucking chance he plays D1. You have literally no clue what you're talking about.

[@sparkysjoint1616]

aglands Yet, most colleges and professional organizations let players continue to play after violent adult aged crimes or sexual misconduct crimes.. If a player is good enough, they don't care about most crimes. It is apparent YOU do not know what the fuck YOU are talking about.

[@AgLandsVideos]

The Last Alpha: Completely incorrect. It's always funny when someone says YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT prior or subsequent to demonstrating that they do not, in fact, know what they're talking about. But lets make it easy. Cite 10 players with sexual misconduct convictions playing in D1 or D2. Hell. Cite 5.

[@sparkysjoint1616]

Completely incorrect, you dumbass hypocrite. I find it funny how someone says "totally clueless" and then later proves to be a complete hypocrite.
