Sending a message out to Shawn Merriman? The question was, what would you tell youngsters trying to become football players...  Herschels my guy... glad to see him come with it! |

I am seriously sick of the love affair that the NFL/ESPN, etc. have with Merriman (and the Chargers, in general). This entire season has been a pain to listen and watch because of the love fest. I think Merriman is a great player, but at what cost. Obviously, he took something he wasn't supposed to and tried to deny it. I think it is ridiculous that it is almost a non-issue with the NFL and the Networks. I am glad to see some people like Walker and Jason Taylor stepping out and standing for what is right.

Exactly...
Deon Sanders was saying he couldn't believe Jason had stepped out and made his comments, and went on to say how its taboo to do such and everyone in the NFL knows that that is a no-no...
That is the problem with society... people unwilling to step up and say when something is wrong, simply because some one else will be mad! Wrong is wrong... and will take men of integrity, to right said wrongs!

"Anyone who uses performance enhancement drugs should be kicked out of the league!"
No he didn't use drugs like Merriman, but he also never went to class and admitted to letting people do his work in college, so he's not a saint either.

I thought it was just a message to kids with no "hidden" meanings, since all kinds of energy and strength enhancing stuff seem to be a big problem at every level nowdays? But thats interesting coach Dawhip, cause I actually thought he might say something like, get the most out of your education cause you cant play football forever!
