That is a remarkably terrible interpretation of what he said.

I took it as him saying that Glenn didn't want to dedicate his life to football, not that he wanted to go half-arse it in the service. Nowhere was it implied that what he's doing now involves any less dedication.

Football is not so different from the military, but the pay is better. He easily could've played a few more years and then gone into the military. Jumping out of airplanes is hard on the body, also.

Pretty f'ing gay. Who would swap making millions of dollars, waking up in a different city every day beside a new bad arse slut with serving a backwards arse country whose corrupt, half-brained government has their head so far up their asses, you can't see anything from their point of view.

He has issues. Needs to seek counseling immediately.

Always thought of him as kind of a fan favorite. Not the best out there but gave it all when he had the chance

Wait, didn't he quit football to pursue a career in the ministry, and he was then later arrested for gun charges? I thought he later joined the military after that.

My memory of his recent past is fuzzy...


I believe the charges were dropped. In the Kalvarez Bassent/Auburn methodology this means no harm no foul. Kalvarez's memory of his recent past is a little fuzzy also but that's because of the second hand smoke from the weed that "wasn't his" that was next to the handgun that also "wasn't his".

I haven't claimed that the weed or gun weren't Kalvaraz Bessent's, and I never said Glen Coffee being arrested with a gun made him a bad person.

Solid deflection on your part, though.
