You clearly have made your case that football goes before everything. I’m just trying to enlighten you that maybe, just maybe, Trevor prioritizes family moving forward and he also has 200 guaranteed million reasons to back him up on that. If I’m him, and I’m knocked out on the field again in a fencing position…. It’s dueces to this dumpster fire of a franchise.

I think the big tell was the interview where TL said that while football was important, it wasnt the be-all and end-all of his life. While that healthy attitude is certainly true for most people regarding their job, ultimately thats not the mentality of most champions in life.  Thats also not the mentality that someone making multi-millions should have, whether they are wired that way or not. With great salary comes the obligation to immerse yourself mentally, physically, emotionally 100% into your job.

Well, I guess if you didn't read what he actually said you would believe that. Of course what he really said is something entirely different in an entirely different context:

“I want to do it because I want to be the best I can be. I want to maximize my potential. Who wouldn’t want to? You kind of waste it if you don’t.”

[font=mencken-std]“It’s hard to explain that because I want people to know that I’m passionate about what I do and it’s really important to me, but . . . I don’t have this huge chip on my shoulder, that everyone’s out to get me and I’m trying to prove everybody wrong,” he says. “I just don’t have that. I can’t manufacture that. I don’t want to.” Marissa adds, “There’s also more in life than playing football.”

“Yeah,” Trevor says. “And I think people mistake that for being a competitor. . . . I think that’s unhealthy to a certain extent, just always thinking that you’ve got to prove somebody wrong, you’ve got to do more, you’ve got to be better.”
