Von, Von, Von…oh, Von.
Von, buddy, we have to talk.
Look, you’re a big, bad man and one hell of a football player. Everybody knows that. But you can’t be running around ripping bong hits, tripping balls and failing to show up for court. That shit won’t fly when you are part of a team that’s supposed to be heading for a Championship in a league that is run with an iron fist.
At this point everyone is waiting for the other shoe to drop with you, Von. At this point how surprised to you think we would be if you ended up with a DUI or something? You obviously have not grasped the fact that you have to deal with life’s little responsibilities. Being able to get to the quarterback doesn’t exempt you from society’s basic rules.
This city wants to love you. You might be the most exciting defensive player we have had here since Al Wilson. Next to Peyton Manning you’re the best player on the team. Folks flock to Dove Valley wearing #58 jerseys just hoping to get a glimpse of you. But, as forgiving as fans can be, we all have our limits. These “incidents” are going to get old real quick.
Everybody is hoping that you aren’t suspended for four games for the, uh, drug stuff. But you aren’t helping your cause much, having it come out that you were arrested in January. Remember, it’s up to the League to be lenient or not to be. If you don’t think that this junk will factor into their decision you’re crazy.
Yes, you seem to keep your nose to the grindstone during football season, but you need to stick to the plan in the off-season, too. Maybe it would be best if you just didn’t leave the chicken farm.
