We have all done dumb crap in our lives. The motorcycle thing was dumb. The sex assaults if true were horrific. Then I guess Ben found Jesus. My guess is he hit an emotional bottom and sought answers. From all accounts he was a jerk early in his life but he seems to have turned things around. I surely cant cast a stone. My guess is those who were willing to forgive did so and those who couldn't get over him being a jag off for so long didn't. Once a jag off always a jag off to some.....guess that's how Joey feels. We all have our journeysI don't know why he's saying this now, today.
Yes, he's going about it in the wrong way.
But, from lots of accounts, he's not wrong.
And he's certainly not the first to say it, and it's come from different era players as well.
From Ben's own mouth the year they drafted Rudolph, too.
Im sure he struggles with ego every day. Dont we all?
It's nuts to think that JPJ will be making more over the first two years of his second contract than his pops made in his entire career. And that $47 million is dwarfed by the quarter of a billion that Ben got paid. Maybe that's why the old man is salty.This is what part of the problem is with the negotiation of the Jr. contract.
