He's Returning. Hmmm, little surprised. Why a press conference to announce that "life changing" event?

going back to school is a life changing event, but yeah I agree, some self promotion going on here

If you're already there, it's not life changing. Life changing is a, you know, change.

I think he did it for a purpose. He grew up in east Cleveland, one of the most impoverished areas in the country. I personally think he did this at his school to make a greater point, that getting an education is what is life changing. In my opinion a strong point being made in his home neighborhood.

I agree. Maybe he's trying to set an example in his hometown that education is value above all else.


I would have declared if I were him. But I'm definitely intrique next season to see how well he does.

Dak Prescott had a press conference too to announce he's returning. Was that self promotion?

Don't glorify him for being a jack hole for no reason other than self promotion:

My decision was very simple,” Jones said. “I’m gonna return next year for school.”


If it was simple, why a press conference? Why the hubbub? Why the pomp and/or circumstance?


“I don’t know why you guys made this such a big deal,” Jones said.


It was Jones that made it a big deal. It was Jones that made it an unnecessary distraction and attention grab. And it will be Jones who’ll have to live this one down.


So why call it a “life-changing decision”?


“Because the way I’m gonna get viewed now and the way I’m gonna go about my business is completely different,” Jones said.


Yes. He’s now going to be viewed as a guy who indulged in a goofy publicity stunt when all he had to do to stay in school was to do nothing.

Actually you are the one coming across as the bigger jack hole. Why do you even care? Did it impact your life someway?

I don't think anyone really expected him to declare, but yeah, no reason to hold a press conference for that IMO.

 

I don't blame them for doing it though, self promotion is a smart thing to do for a pro athlete (or future pro).
