I thought it was going to be a house or something, lol. However, his parents have plenty of money I think, so this makes sense.

Boy Jones is going to be so nice to have back at safety. He was already good as a rookie and he should make a big jump this year.

Bet she was disappointed.

"Ohhhh, yeah, you finished school. Sooooo, about that house with an Escalade parked in the driveway?"

So, Byron promised to complete his degree- and did so far faster than most NFLers who go back to graduate, while Randy Gregory...

I am not trying to bash Gregory- who should also work to finish his degree btw- just pointing out the difference in focus and discipline in our first two picks last year.

You know what goes real good with a degree Byron? A shinny Superbowl trophy.....

Should Bill Gates' mom be jealous?

Speaks volumes about the young man.

Well done.

Should Bill Gates' mom be jealous?

Why would you say something like that?

 

[Vinnie2u]

Let's get her what she really wants... 6 interceptions.... Or maybe that's what I want..

Why would you say something like that?

Because Bill Gates dropped out of college.

Because Bill Gates dropped out of college.

Of course he did.
Just sounded like you were devaluing what the kid did.
That's why I asked.

And Gates did eventually get a degree...in part because he promised his parents that he would.
And Gates has been on the rooftops for 30 years telling kids not to drop out.

No big deal...just seemed like a random comment

One of the few intelligent comments

Reminds me of Emmitt when he went back and got his degree.

A real degree, no less. Well done Byron.
